DU Democratic Candidate Straw Poll- 10/22/07

[Clintonista2]

Which Democratic candidate do you support?

[ElizabethDC]

1. Hillary! n/t

[Clintonista2]

7. Is it just me, or does Hillary do better and better in DU polls?

I remember when she polled worse than every candidate except for gravel.

[ileus]

11. soon she'll be at 100%....

[jefferson_dem]

17. I must say...

the positive trajectory of Hillary's support here on DU is remarkable. Good for her and her supporters.

Serious question: What do you attribute that to?

[Clintonista2]

19. Two things:

#1) Her support on DU tends to go up after the debates
#2) Her support tends to go up after each Obama gaffe.

[jefferson_dem]

21. Both true

...though i'm not sure about the "gaffe" characterization.

Hillary has run an excellent campaign and deserves credit. The "experience" talking point is resonating like a champ. I also think many Dems simply see her as the best vehicle to regain the WH next November.

Still a long way to go...thank jayzus...

20. Hillary has paid operatives all over trhe net - including Drudge

[ElizabethDC]

25. Yes, she does. It seems pretty reflective of what's happening out in the real world, too. n/t

[pioneer111]

24. Edwards Rocks

And is still the best choice.

[Rowdyboy]

2. Need to add Bill Richardson.....

Unless I missed something.....

[Clintonista2]

3. Oops! Thanks for catching that. nt.

[Sparkly]

4. How about an "undecided?"

(Or is that cheating?) ;)

Edit: Thanks!

[Clintonista2]

5. Added that option.

[bigwillq]

6. DK!

:bounce:

[gateley]

8. Biden. nt

[gateley]

9. Did you vote for the same candidate you've always supported, or have you

changed your mind? Just curious because the percentages seem to vary so greatly from poll to poll.

[IndianaGreen]

12. Kucinich is my sentimental favourite, but Biden is my pragmatic choice for President

Joe Biden won me over by his straight talk and by showing that he has the quality of experience, the judgment and the temperament to steer the ship of state in the chaos that will follow the Bush regime.

[gateley]

16. Very well put - Gravel is my sentimental fave (!) and I'm drawn to Biden for

the same reasons you cite.

[Clintonista2]

13. For me personally, I have supported Hillary since before she announced she was running

And I have voted for her in every DU poll.

[zazzle]

22. Bush's corrupt money men have switched to Hillary!

http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/article3081835.ece

Bill Clinton ended all pending and future Iran-Contra and BCCI investigations. Now - Hillary is being repaid for Clinton's generosity.
But that's what dynasties are for - to coverup crimes of the previous rulers. And Hillary will do the same for BushCo. That's why the
DC establishment wants her to win.

Although I worked in both Clinton campaigns, I do not want it on my conscience that I voted for her. The Clintons are very dirty.

I'm voting for a REAL Democrat - John Edwards! WooHoo!

[Clintonista2]

27. That's nice.

[gateley]

15. Thanks you two - as I said, just curious. I didn't vote at all for quite a while

because I like each of them for different reasons, but once I decided on Biden, I've voted for him ever since. Not that you asked. :7 :hi:

[Catchawave]

23. I've voted JE since 2004 in every DU poll :)

If I see them.

[benny05]

26. Likewise, Catchawave!

:hi: :dem:

[Catchawave]

28. Hi benny ! Long time no see....

We've picked up some new friends in JE's DU forum! Stop by sometime and say hello :D

[uberllama42]

10. Why no Steve Colbert? n/t

[RebelSansCause]

14. Go Dennis, and lo and behold, it worked...

my vote was not stolen :woohoo: this is my first poll, yay

[josh_edwards07]

18. Edwards

[Catchawave]
