http://www.fluxrostrum.com/MindFlux/DennisKucinich/electable-candidates.htmElectable Democrats seems to be the focus of a considerable amount of media hype. This tactic of telling U.S. who is electable and who isn't electable is straight up propaganda in hopes of narrowing the selection in the minds of voters by weeding out candidates that our corporate sponsors deem unacceptable. In other words, if a candidate has the intention of putting people over profit... they are unelectable. If candidates have the intention of really doing something about corporate fraud.. they are unelectable. If candidates will not need to spend 50 million dollars brainwashing the masses with endles lies in the form of commercial advertising... they are unelectable.

Unscientific internet polls are not a valid reason to think someone may or may not be electable.
Only Freepers worry about internet polls and consider them as "validating their cause," even if it means they have to vote a few thousand times each.
Unscientific polls are worthless.

I certainly wasn't calling you a freeper--just misinformed a tad.

10. I realize it is an unscientific poll |
|
But just the same, it does show that Dennis has garnered some interest. I never claimed anything else.

Es muy bueno, no?
I'm beginning to see a strategy taking form. Do not count this man out.

That was fun.
My results were
1-Dennis Kucinich (100%) :bounce: 2-Howard Dean was 2nd on my list (88%) B-)
Other notables for me
Kerry 74% :wow:
Libertarian at 33% :hurts: Bush at 15% :dunce:
and the only person Bush beat out was the Constituional Party at 3% :tinfoilhat:
The rest of the Dems tracked between 54% and high 80s with freaking LaRouche actually coming in ahead of Wes CLark and tied with Joe. :thumbsdown:
...DK at 100% and Dean at 88%. Hmmmm.

I do think this is flawed because it penalizes people for not providing enough information.

11. They've mucked with the selector too much. |
|
I took that quiz quite a while back, and am probably one of those included in Kucinich's initial results. He came up as my first match by 100% then now Dean comes up first Kucinich second. The questions are very different now, some a little confusing or don't really give an option I agree with.
