Re: How do I Vote? (none / 0)

What do you want from a candidate?

I'm looking for someone who will talk clearly and straightforwardly, inspire people with a very Democratic message, isn't likely to be beholden to wealthy interests, isn't frustratingly conservative, has some courage, has given us a good indication of what kind of president they'd make and will be a good one, and can win the election.

I'm really looking for Howard Dean, but he's not on the ballot and not gonna run :)

So, I voted Feingold #1, Clark #2, and that's all.

Fortunately, my vote still counted :)
Looks like, as of now, Clark is running away with it from round one - nobody every gets close to him.  But Feingold and Gore start out 2nd and 3d, and pretty much stay that way, and close to each other, through all the rounds, with Feingold a bit ahead.

You could wait to see who Dean backs.

I am.

Not. One. Inch.

Can Dean do that in his current position? Did McAwful officially back anyone?

Re: How do I Vote? (3.00 / 2)

Dean had damn well better not back anyone.

I can't think of many things he could do more dishonorable.  Except maybe breaking his promise and running himself.

Not saying he'll do either.  I like to think he takes his office and responsibilities more seriously.

Exactly (none / 0)

It's part of his job not to back any one canidate.

Re: How do I Vote? (none / 0)

You've gotta keep one thing in mind.  SKELETONS in the closet and those in the open.  Can Feingold win with a nasty divorce hanging over his head?  Would that be a death knell putting him at the top of the ticket?  I could easily see him as a #2.  Is Wes Clark seasoned enough to get his point across? I supported him early in '04 but he just seemed to stumble on things at times and it frustrated me.

Nasty divorce? (none / 0)

From what I've heard, Russ' divorce was remarkably amiable.

Yes (none / 0)

The one rumor I've heard was that she didn't want Russ to run for president.  If there's even a grain of truth to that rumor, that, of course, means Feingold is in.
