Run off voting: To fix the fact that we are afraid to vote for whom we most
want for president. The perfect candidate is right in front of us and we deem him unelectable. Just think how different things would be if we could have run-off voting. I think lots of us would vote for Kuncinich and he would most likely win. Now we just hold our noses and vote for Hillary because the media and everyone else says she is the front runner. I keep seeing polls that give her the lead but I know of NO ONE who says she is their first pick. Who is giving those answers to the pollsters? Do you guys have lots of friends who say Hillary is their first pick?

The big question is can we make run-off voting an issue before the election and can we get it passed?

1. The republican responders are saying they
favor her. Then if she gets the nomination everything will be wrong with her, even her shoe size.

2. So, the reason she is the front-runner is because the repubs are voting for
her. What will happen in the primaries?

3. I haven't the foggiest notion..a lot of people
will vote for her if the t.v. pundits say she has "electibility."

4. kucinich=love.
Kucinich is definately an the best choice. The media manipulates elections, and it's sickening. We need Kucinich in the White House, it's not really an option.
