Poll question: Have tonight's primary results inspired you to switch candidates?
A simple yes or no will do.

1. I'm thinking
My current choice is Kerry but hearing Edwards on the stump tonight sure made me think everything over. This guy has "the touch" and I think would have the best chance at bringing new voters into the process as well as energizing the base.

If I was guaranteed a victory in November, I would still stay with Kerry. However, speaking pure electability, Edwards may be the one...

4. Edwards doesn't have the
organization or money. Hopefully he stays in.

Edwards's inexperience is unfortunately a liability. I love the guy, but I don't see him as electable as people think.

10. He'll have the money...
...if you give it to him!

He's going to beat Kerry in South Carolina and Oklahoma tonight, and it's those redder states we need to win.

3. Not one bit
Started Edwards early, supported him through the hard times, got happy after Iowa, grew resolve after New Hampshire, and am elated tonight!

5. Go ahead and laugh. I would love to see Dean/Edwards
After the swipe at Clark that Dean made, after the swipe Kerry made at Edwards that he didn't expect him to win any states (said to an aide, unaware of being overheard), then that's my dream team.

But I still really really really like Kucinich. Will America please wake up and smell the proverbial coffee?

7. Juan Valdez is on the way.
You can start the DK bandwagon right now. There's no reason you have to wait for everyone else to jump on it before you do.

6. Nope...
I am supporting Clark as far as he wants to go, which I hope is all the way to the WhiteHouse. :thumbsup:

8. I was a dean supporter
I still like some of his passion, but the screaming speech made me look at him in a different way.

As of this minute I am fully behind Kerry, I always support the likely winner in the dem nominee.

9. Nope
I'm committed to Clark until or unless he's out of the race. If he leaves the race I may support someone else, but will probably just let the chips fall where they will and support the eventual nominee.

11. Still voting for Dennis. But tonight I'm rooting for Edwards and Clark
and, to a lesser extent, for Kerry. I want a brokered convention and I want all three of these other candidates to stick around.
