Poll: Which Democratic candidate do you support? |

The rest are also-rans.

He is good.
We have the good fortune to have several great choices, and several others quite superior to George.

but then I also like
Dean Moseley Braun Edwards Sharpton Kerry
very much too.
I think all nine of them are clearly superior to The Boy Who Would Be King (of course phlegm is superior to that waste of skin).
The only one I really don't agree with is Lieberman and even he is preferable to the current figurehead for the Bushco Junta.

My thoughts are as follows 1)Kucinich- he voices what I think 2)Sharpton- he says what they others are afraid to say 3)Dean- he is fighting for those who are silent 4)Kerry- he is the voice of the old guard but I have some hope for him 5)Graham- he sounds better each time I hear him 6)Edwards- he's slick but not seasoned enough IMO 7)Mosely-Braun- she's smart and well spoken but, IMO, the US is not ready for a woman 8)Gephardt- I like him but I don't know if I trust him

14. Dean (with Kerry in a *very* close second) |
|
After that I have no stable preferences. Negatively, I don't like Lieberman or Kucinich.

Kucinich was my second, but after seeing him perform so weakly on the talk shows, I given up on him as a candidate.

Dean has 12 first-place votes out of 22 (up to and icnluding reply #24) plus two first-place ties, so he wins.
The moment he drops to 11 first-place votes, I'm starting to count this thing in Condorcet, and the second- and other-place votes will start counting. In other words, I will count as if there are 36 separate races (one for every pair of the nine candidates; if Clark and LaRouche are in, then the number jumps to 55). If a candidate wins in all of his 8 (or 9, or 10) races, then he is the winner; if no one does, then I'll first find the smallest set of candidates, each of whose members defeats all non-members (e.g. Dean/Kerry/Kucinich, with Dean defeating Kerry, Kerry defeating Kucinich, Kucinich defeating Dean, and each of the three defeating anyone else).

Dean drops to 12 out of 27. However, since two more people prefer him to anyone other than Kerry, he defeats anyone other than Kerry at least 14-13. Moreover, he defeats Kerry 16-3 (with 8 tying or not voting between the two).
I'll post more as it gets more interesting and Kucinich and Kerry get more momentum ;).

31. I *heart* Condorcet and pair-wise comparisons... |
|
Heh...well, maybe not a deep love, but do the Freepers have this kind of counting sophistication going on? I think not!
OK, so here are my picks:
1. Clark 2. Dean/Kerry (ties were allowed, right?) 3. Graham 4. Kucinich 5. Braun 6. Edwards 7. Sharpton 8. Lieberman 9. Gephardt

Actually, the most pro-Condorcet party is the Libertarian one; the Greens favor IRV, whereas the Democrats and Republicans favor plurality because it keeps their duopoly intact. As for freepers, I think they'll consider this system to be some form of communism or somehing.
