Poll question: Kucinich, Dodd, Biden supporters: Whom could you support?
I don't mean to rub salt in raw wounds, and I realize Kucinich has not withdrawn from the race. But for those willing to consider this question now: if you had supported Dodd or Biden, and if Kucinich withdraws, so you had to choose from the candidates who were present at last night's debate, which candidate would you support?

Note: I am assuming Gore and Bloomberg will not enter the race.

2. Obama with Edwards a razor thin close 2nd.
I just don't think Edwards has the donors and organization to topple Hillary. I would really prefer that Hillary is not our nominee.

3. Because Kucinich Asked His Supporters in Iowa
to support Obama as second choice - I intend to do just that when we caucus in February. I support Kucinich and will honor his request.

“I hope Iowans will caucus for me as their first choice this Thursday, because of my singular positions on the war, on health care, and trade. This is an opportunity for people to stand up for themselves. But in those caucus locations where my support doesn't reach the necessary threshold, I strongly encourage all of my supporters to make Barack Obama their second choice. Sen. Obama and I have one thing in common: Change.”

12. His request was for Iowa only
He asks that his supporters vote for him in other states.

23. We Caucus In CO
just as in Iowa. If he's still in by Super Tuesday and he doesn't get 15% when I vote for him, my second choice will be Obama.

5. I don't know yet
Initially I thought Obama, but I need more time to decide. In the meantime, my primary vote will go to Joe, despite the fact that he dropped out.

6. Other. I'll just vote for the nom in the GE.
I have serious concerns about each of the remaining candidates, which is why I chose Biden. Just because he's out of the running, doesn't ease those concerns.

8. The nominee, when we get one
Until then, I'm sticking with Nixon. Nobody else needs my money anyway (as they get enough from Wall Street, Big Pharma, and the War Industry).

10. Former Bidenite here. Edwards is the champion of my class interests
but any 1-2 finish by Edwards and Obama in NH (in whatever order) will just be peachy!

11. To my ears, Edwards' message is closer to Kucinich's than the others' are.
Except on Iraq, but on everything else.

13. Too soon, much too soon
Today is the 6th and the caucuses were on the 3rd - that's like asking a widow who she's going to marry a few days after the funeral. My support was not that superficial.

17. No one else has Dennis' agenda.
Obama is the only one who could rally people around him, but I just feel something lacking there (at the moment; he might become a great leader down the line).

Couple this with the amount of corporate money flying around, and I can't vote for anyone but Dennis.

18. My bottom line is ABC
Beyond that, I don't have any other candidate at this time. When I go to caucus in February, it will be for Dennis. He had no viability problems in my precinct last time, and I don't expect one this time. If that (unfortunately) changes, then I'll have to make a decision at that time.
