Poll question: who will be the "anti-Dean" candidate?
who do you think Dean will end up battling it out with for the nomination?

Because that's who Dean'll be running against next November

2. Gephardt, But Only By a Whisker
Clark is my second choice. And it all depends on Gephardt somehow winning Iowa by a nose.

5. Yeah, people don't see Gephardts stealth candidacy
but he's creeping up on all of them. Clark possibly could be a threat, but so far they are pretty short on the organizational skills necessary for the long haul. Too much infighting there to see that candidacy going past N. Carolina.

Kerry, if he can somehow catch fire, has a shot............

8. Kerry Is Still In the Hunt
Kerry could threaten in New Hampshire. He's pouring everything he's got into that state, because it's a must-win for him.

Sharpton is sort of the ultimate anti-everybody, because no matter who else is progressing toward the nomination, he'll be running and get his +/- 5%. So voting for Sharpton in this poll does make some sense.

9. Gephardt is running his mouth on hardball now.
Liar.

Gephardt has the qualities of Gore at his worst. Ugh, he is corny and just so......white.

;-)

14. "Ugh, he is corny and just so......white.""
How ironic, I thought whities were now Dean's target group.

15. This is catagorically racist talk
If you said "Braun is just so... black" or "Lieberman is just so... Jewish" or "Cleland is just so... crippled" you would be justifiably eviscerated on this website. Just so white is not criticism, it's hate speech.

Bucky, a just so... teacher

6. The race won't be between 2 middle class tax increasers
It's impossible to know exactly who, but it will be Kerry, Edwards, or Clark. And one of those 3 will win it hopefully if we want any real chance of beating Bush

7. Well...
clark is the kinda, sorta, maybe Dem candidate. And since Dean is everything clark is not...

It looks to me to be a race between the Democratic candidate and the DLC.

11. Clark/Dean, Dean/Clark
I want both. They compliment each other. I want it all since they are an unbeatable team. I don't care which one is on top--Dick Cheney has shown us how a VP can be the power behind the throne.

12. Everyone who runs against him in the primary.
Dean alone has no office on the "HILL." Everyone of the candidates is the "anti-Dean." They're for the most part boot-licking apologists to the forces that installed the monkey prince and have mortgaged our grand-childrens future and changed this countries image from savior to satan. If Dean doesn't run and win I'll either be down the road or in the streets and I won't be alone. The DNC/DLC corporate lackeys ignore this mind-set at their peril for I doubt they have any subsistence skills of their own. America, the REAL America says, "BRING IT ON." Shelter, food and water are all that counts. The size, maker and color of Britney's undies is of limited importance to most of us. Freedom and integrity is where it begins and ends.

Excuse please, it was a rhetorical question.....right? Feeling self-righteous tonight and admit that I would settle for DK if he would trade that smile for a snarl and stop being dictated by what's PC.

Dean's only qualifier for me is that he seems to be spoiling for a fight, so am I.

16. Dean just licks the boots of the NRA and the CATO institute
And then panders to the Confederate flag like even Saxby Chambliss and Trent Lott wouldn't do. Dean is the ultimate pink tutu Democrat. He just hasn't had a chance to show it in Washington D.C.
