Assuming Dean stands for the Democrats, who would you vote for?

Twilly Spree · Jan 14, 2004, 09:19 AM

George W. Bush, and I'm proud to have the privilege.

well, its a bit early to assume Dean. I'm sort of hoping for either Gephardt or Clark, myself....but either way my vote will be against hegemony.

I wonder how many fake names will be created to make sure someone gets more votes.

There should have been an extra choice for "I don't know how to vote in polls, please put me down for Gore."

Didn't they do that in Florida?

No, they did it in Chicago in the 1960s though. And, to just as wide of extent but in a smaller population, they did it in Butte, MT.

EDIT: Actually, the names were mostly real, they were just of dead people.

Both sides "recruit the stiff" in Philadelphia.

Shocking...

G-W-B- in 2003.....

er... 4...(but it didn't rhyme )

BRussell · Jan 14, 2004, 09:52 PM

My candidate is Lieberman, but the primary in my state is way past when the nominee will probably be determined, so presumably he will have dropped out by then.

But I'd have to say after that, my picks are
2. Edwards
3. Clark
4. Dean
5. Gephardt
6. Kerry

I like 'em all, actually. I think the Dems have a really good bunch this time around.

Al Gore for 2004...
er... it rhymes, but he is not on the ballot.

CRASH HARDDRIVE · Jan 14, 2004, 10:54 PM

I can't decide between:

Moe Howard Dean

Curly Joe Lieberman

Curly Clarke

Shemp Gephardt

or Larry Kerry

Sheesh, how come 'Slapstick' Al Sharpton never tops anyone's favorite 'Dem Stooges' list? He'd get my vote.

nate_02 · Jan 15, 2004, 12:29 AM

Bush

PowerMatt · Jan 15, 2004, 12:31 AM

I think this is the thrid time I have voted for Bush in a MacNN pole. Nothing like the power of redundancy in cyberspace.

perryp · Jan 15, 2004, 12:47 AM

I think this poll is skewed towards dean because international voters are ILLEGALLY voting for him

Earth Mk. II · Jan 15, 2004, 02:49 AM

Judging by history, I predict dead people voting in Albany for the '04 elections.

Fortunately, both parties do it there, so it should cancel out.

hyteckit · Jan 15, 2004, 02:58 AM

No, Dean is winning because Mac users are skewed toward Democratic Party and probably because more Republicans are computer illiterate compared to Democrats. I don't have a political party by the way.

Oh, and Howard Dean invented the internet.

I exercised that priveledge last time around and it resulted in far more bad than good. I'm no Democrat, but I think any of the Democratic candidates are more attractive than Bush at this point.

chalk_outline · Jan 15, 2004, 06:15 AM

I'm voting for Bush. If he wins my aunt pays for my move to Canada.

Go Bush!!

Scientist · Jan 15, 2004, 09:48 AM

I support none. He gets the most votes every year and every year either a democrat or republican canidate steals the position of president.

jbartone · Jan 15, 2004, 10:28 AM

Everyone make sure you're on the voter rolls.

http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/...877833585.html

"There are no census rolls, voter registration records or other means to certify a democratic vote, they say."

And thats in Iraq.

Sounds like Florida, no?

Somehow I see that as a win/win.

Bush wins.
USA wins.

And! I think the IQ of CANADA will have gone up a few points.

How does a US citizen become a canadian citizen. I thought canada had a strict border policy.

Looks like Bush is catching up

Canada and strict is an oxymoron.

A lot of Canadians have problems with our border policies but the government has held fast to its position: Americans are still welcome.

Seriously, though, el chupacabra, if you're interested, start here.

Oneota · Jan 17, 2004, 02:58 PM

I'm starting to hear some really good things about John Edwards, actually. I hope he wins in IA (unfortunately for his campaign, I'm an independent, not a registered Dem, so I won't be at the caucus).

el chupacabra · Jan 17, 2004, 07:38 PM

I just know a lot of Americans who have been kicked out of canada is the thing,...something about you can't take a job position if there is a canadian that is qualified.

Sounds good to me if its true, I'd like such a rule in the US, but the US policy is; can't take a job from a foreigner that is less qualified because we have to meet quotas...that is more important.

I dun know....

DeathToWindows · Jan 19, 2004, 11:18 PM

I'll be 18 in june... so I can vote in November - any democrat is fine with me.

ghost_flash · Jan 20, 2004, 11:38 AM

It would have been a better poll if you had
included other people specifically.

Kerry / Edwards / Gephardt

Dean's numbers would most certainly have
gone down, but I guess that was the idea
of this poll hmmm? Put Dean against Bush.

In here that is a no-brainer, of course Dean
would win, because there are so many in here
that are no-brainers.
