2. I don't think it's meant for us... |
|
It's for Dems who are just tuning in ~ a symbolic anointing for those voting on Super Tuesday.

3. Please read up on "Gaming Theory"; your poll doesn't have enough choices, but |
|
maybe, then, you don't intend for it to reflect reality.

hint: all of the most likely factors have to occur in all combinations with all of the other most likely factors.
e.g. 3 factors in all combinations with eachother result in 9 possibilities. But that's the simplified version of it. There are weightings for other factors that are not included in the set you're using.

some of us are still dreaming about a tied up convention resulting in a draft Gore result.

no, I already think more highly of Obama then I do of Ted Kennedy, and I tend to do my own thinking rather than to be swayed be endorsements.
I have no intention of making any commitment until the day of the primary.
I may well end up supporting Obama, but Ted Kennedy's endorsement, or lack thereof will not matter.

12. You didn't provide a "No, it will have no effect on my vote" option. |
|
Unfortunately, Kennedy's endorsement is likely to hurt ALL the Democratic candidates, by reminding a lot of white people in the south and midwest what the media has trained them to fear.
Please - Kennedys, stay out of this campaign in the south and midwest. Your endorsements don't help down here.

15. I doubt if anyone on DU will be swayed by an endorsement, one way or another. |
|
Unless it's their preferred candidate bowing out and throwing support a particular direction.

I will only vote for Obama if he is the nominee (maybe).

18. I like Teddy and I like Caroline, |
|
but neither made me change my mind. And RFK Jr.'s endorsement of Hillary didn't make my support for her any stronger. I find endorsements interesting depending on who they are from but I have yet to be influenced one way or another by one.

19. Nope, already voted for Edwards, don't support Obama. Respect Kennedy though. |
|
I will vote for Obama on election day if he is the nominee, but this has nothing to do with endorsements.
