1. Of the major candidates, Clark.
Even though I am a Dean supporter, Clark has run a less agressive campaign than Dean. The rest of the major candidates, including Dean, have all attacked eachother a lot. Kerry, Gephardt, and Lieberman the most. Edwards hasn't that much either.

11. I agree. If he becomes the candidate I hope he can fight
when the GOP and its media empire attempt to eviscerate him.

18. Have you listened to the things
he's been saying about Bush and the GOP. Did you see his recent press release on Tom "Chickenhawk" Delay? I don't think we have anything to worry about in that department.

2. Well, of all the candidates it's gotta be
Mosley Braun in a walk.

But of the top column candidates, it is between Clark and Edwards, and I give it to Edwards.

13. Carol, definitely
Edwards and Clark have done pretty well so far too. Clark, now when he takes a jab at somebody, it's so funny you don't even get upset! That's good, very good.

3. Edwards and Clark.
They both have not attacked the other candidates very much.

4. Overall it is either
edwards or CMB. I am giving it to her just because she seems so pleasant all the time.

5. voted Clark
However, I'm sure he'll be getting down and dirty like everyone else. Unfortunately. it's how the game is played. And once your attacked, the reponse is to attack back and so the game begins.

8. LMAO
Lieberman got a vote for "cleanest" campaign. Someone is drinking more than kool-aid. :-)

12. In a way, Lieberman is running a clean campaign
He doesn't contradict himself & he's brutally honest about his views. We all know where he stands & he is unapologetic about it. He just doesn't have anything nice to say. I trust him, I just happen to disagree with him quite often.

He reminds me of the cranky judges in the balcony on the Muppet Show.

9. CMB, because she does't even have a campaign
I've yet to hear anything good or bad from CMB...

I'm still wondering why she's still running, if she's not going to get any press, make any notable speeches, get outta the way...

19. I don't think that's what the laughter is about.
It's because she has no visible sign of a campaign! I kept a very clean car when I didn't have one.

This is not intended to deride Ambassador Mosely Braun. It is only an observation.

17. I voted CMB
Kucinich and Clark are probably about tied for second.

20. Kerry
He's had to defend himself from Dean lies...other than that, he's running a clean campaign.
