Poll question: Which non-front runner is the LEAST likely to get the nomination?
Edwards, Obama, and Clinton are not on here because everyone agrees they're frontrunners. This poll is for everyone else--who should just quit now while the quitting is good?

4. If you round to the nearest percent
At least three or four of 'em are tied at zero.

5. I chose Gravel
because I've never even heard of this candidate, and don't even know if they are a man or a woman.

8. Mike Gravel was Alaska's senator from 1968-1980
He's been out of the limelight for a while. I don't think he's serious about this. :)

6. I think Gravel has nearly zero name recognition...
and probably about the same amount of media exposure.

7. Edwards, Clinton, and Obama, lol.
What makes someone a "front runner?" Those the corporate media pay the most attention to?

I don't think anyone should quit now. I think many more should join the field, and I think Edwards, Clinton, and Obama should be just one of many choices people will hear about. Who would the "front runners" be with equal media exposure and treatment?

Whether they become "frontrunners" or not, some of those you suggest should "just quit now" have better messages, better stances on issues, better records, and do a better job representing the needs of more people, than your top three "front runners." They should be heard. They belong IN, not out.

9. There is no front runner
It's silly to speak in such terms. When somebody has over 40% ten months from now they can be called "front runner" and there will be only one of them at a time.

10. i will never vote for shapton
1) the tawana brawley issue

11. Is Sharpton running?
I hadn't heard that he was running again.

I think Richardson, Clark, and possibly Biden all have shots to elevate their stature. Unfortunately, I think the rest are pretty much DOA (except Gore)
