15. Too bad! He might have had five or six votes.
I do think Gore should be though.

3. I can't pick one yet
not one of these people have brought up the vote stealing machines to date, so it would be like picking the loser of the election, if it were held today. So I'll sit back and wait to see which one's will break silence on the vote stealing machines and I'll take it from there.

12. I think Clark has proved himself to the Democratic Party
Next time around he will be looked at as a SOLID Dem! That is one hurtle he won't have to get over next time.

10. I don't think Dean can run since he is party Chair
Boxer wouldn't have a chance in a National Election and neither would Conyers even though I love both of them. Sad but true.

9. Nor Gore.
I know, I know. He ain't runnin'. But Mr. Gore is looking extremely Presidential. My healthy respect for the man has only increased. If the last two years had been 1999 and 2000, we'd all be chearing President Gore instead of screaming about Chimpy and Crashcart.

I voted for Clark in the poll because I still think he will make a phenomenally good President.

21. Speaking personally....
Initially I liked Edwards but I feel let down by him and Kerry. They promised they'd count every vote. But they conceded too quickly and their actions since re: election fraud investigation have not been very satisfying.

I am not sure I "trust" Edwards.

24. Yes, I agree Kerry takes primary responsibility.
One other thing that bothered me about Edwards is that he was an invited guest at Bilderberg prior to being picked as Kerry's running mate.

29. I think Edwards is everyones second choice
Edwards is my second choice. The guy could most certainly get elected. Everyone likes him! Even Republicans.

22. I ADORE him, but do you think he's a bit elderly?
I know he's got the energy of much younger men, but still, he is "getting on" and I think that might be an issue for some. I'd vote for him, though!

28. Feingold at 20%. Is anyone else wondering about Russ?
I want to like him but I'm not sure I can trust him, either. Know what I mean?

31. He is worth a second look.
As of yet he just doesn't do it for me but I am interested in taking a second and third look. Who knows?

33. So Gore has not expressed an interest in running?
I thought perhaps he had but I guess I was wrong?

36. Estimates are holding
they are just about the same from over 3,000 votes to now over 10,000 votes.
Go Clark!
