To the Administration of DU, I and the following members respectfully request |
|
Edited on Mon Nov-05-07 09:21 PM by bobthedrummer
consideration of an official DU straw poll of all the announced Democratic candidates in the near future.
It would be much appreciated.
on edit: DU members that support this request check in.

5. We haven't had one at all, as you well know. That being said are you for an Admin poll or not? |

Might be interesting to have a once weekly "official" straw poll to track movement in support.

14. That would be up to Admin-it would be whatever they want, as long as all |
|
announced candidates are in it the details would be theirs, I think it's time for one.

11. i live near chicago. can we vote early and often? |

Edited on Mon Nov-05-07 09:43 PM by orleans
i think it's a good idea (is gore in the race yet?)
how 'bout something biweekly so we can do some comparison? and you can vote across the span of one week. after that, results are tallied and posted. the following week a new straw poll appears.
will there be republican candidates in this poll? (if so i just want to let you know right now i probably will not be voting for any of them. :evilgrin: )
on edit: i read this back and although i was just f*cking around when i asked about republican candidates and i meant to sound a little stupid & flip about it--but i also want to clarify just so there really is no confusion: i would kill myself before i voted for a fucking republican. just so you know.)

32. What would be cool is one that stays open |

That would let us change our vote by voting again as our views change.

Might draw off-board campaigns to affect the outcome... but that could be a good thing... bringing in people...

39. How would this differ |

from any of the other straw polls posted here?
Frankly, I don't think the admins SHOULD give any stamp of legitimacy to such an endeavor.

in light of recent "push polls" trying to find a different outcome than the regular straw polls consistently show.
