Clinton/Edwards/Obama Fun Run supporters: we all must put Kucinich in the hole. |
|
Edited on Mon Nov-12-07 09:28 PM by LoZoccolo
None of us will win with without Kucinich behind us. While we are attacking each other, the Kucinich supporters are attacking all of us. We need to pool our resources, perhaps until we see him buried in the negative numbers. Who is for a truce until that point? Or a different one?

1. That's just what Hillary wants! |
|
To distribute Kucinich's support so she can take the lead! (humorously this is exactly the opposite of real life where kucinich's support prevents a clear Hillary killer from emerging) ;)

12. only a harm if it's Kucinich, right? |
|
so, let me see if i have this right... Clinton supporters are attacking Obama and Edwards, Obama supporters are attacking Edwards and Clinton, and Edwards supporters are attacking Obama and Clinton. And you have proof that the mean, nasty, Kucinich supporters are :gasp: attacking ALL THREE?
um, okay. :eyes: whatever.

7. Actually, Edwards has come out on top of most DU polls. |
|
Hillary and especially Kucinich fans are just the loudest.

8. Edwards have never defeated Kucinich in a DU straw poll that I've seen |
|
Edwards is very strong here, but a strong second

13. Really? Edwards has won most of the straw polls I've seen. |

I know I've seen at least one with Kucinich edging out Edwards somewhere, probably after his Impeachment resolution last week. The secret is that the Kucinich and Hillary supporters are loudest. The reality is that Edwards is the strongest and most Presidential candidate, and would extend our hold on Congress more than any other candidate. DU thinks so here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=3496258But some people can't see beyond Smirk and Dick. A few Edwards winning straw polls: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=3711671http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=3683394http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=3683333

9. I figure the most practical supporters are sending their donations directly |
|
to their candidate, rather than to a game.
But this is a great moneymaker for DU.

that Kucinich supporters aren't trying to sabotage everyone else a whole heck of a lot.
-Last night, he got knocked back about 350 steps and made up the distance in a couple hours. 12 hours ago, he got knocked back about 1500 steps and made that up about 10 hours later and has been moving forward since. -Edwards has rebounded about 700 steps since trading places with Clinton 7 hours ago. -Obama has only recovered about 300 steps in the last 11 hours -Clinton seems to keep running backwards, which would indicate a pretty concerted effort to keep her out of the lead
That looks to me like most of the attacking has been between the Clinton and Obama supporters, unless Kucinich has such broad support here that his supporters can move him forward fast enough to recover over 1800 steps in one day AND keep Obama from advancing AND keep Clinton moving backwards.
