Hypothetical for Clark supporters:

[Zynx]

If Wes, god forbid, drops out, who will you support in the primaries?

[KittyWampus]

1. No One, I Go Back To Independant

and probably won't vote AGAINST Bush.

I go into the polls to vote FOR someone.

No other Democrat running commands any respect from me other than Clark.

[Badger1]

34. Clark support

The General has had my support from day one. I will support Any Dem against the most dangerous man in the world and I'm SURE that Clark will be voting for ABB should he not get the nomination. I intend to vote for Clark here in WI on the 17'th.

[abburdlen]

2. Kucinich

I was guilty of minimizing his campaign early on but if you base your choice on honor and integrty then DK is next in line if Clark were to drop out.

BTW I don't think Clark is dropping out.

[LTR]

3. If he drops tomorrow

Well, there goes my plan to vote for him in Wisconsin.

I'll stay home for the primary vote. I'm not going just to kiss Kerry's ass.

I'll vote for Kerry or whoever the nom is in November.

My candidate is ABB!!!

ON EDIT: Totally hypothetical! He's in until he says otherwise, as far as I'm concerned.

[Renew Deal]

12. You can still vote for Clark in WI

if he doesn't go. Lieberman and CMB are beating Kucinich tonight.

[LTR]

43. He's still on the ballot

After all the resources he's been devoting to the state for the last several months, and considering our Lt. Gov. is the state campaign chair, I can't possibly see him dropping. Hell, he's likely to get at least second.

I predict he'll stay.

[mmonk]

4. Either

Dean or DK as first considerations. But I await the general.

[Renew Deal]

5. Undecided

I don't want to think of something so horrible until it comes up.

[LiberalBushFan]

6. Since his drop-out would make Edwards the anti-Kerry

I'll vote Kerry (not support, however).

[Zynx]

7. What state are you in?

That makes a difference. In northern states Dean is the anti-Kerry and in southern states Edwards is.

[LiberalBushFan]

18. MA... if Dean seems to have more of a chance than Edwards

I'll vote Dean. But in my view the anti-Kerry is the one candidate the second greatest overall chance of getting the nomination.

But that's all assuming that which hasn't happened! Clark may stay in!!!

[Mattforclark]

8. The nominee

I can't find anyone who is clearly second best. Most of them have some of Clark's good qualities mixed with some bad ones.

[madmax]

9. Kerry was my first choice

until the Draft Clark movement. But, it doesn't make it easier.

:cry:

[Jerseycoa]

17. The nominee in November

Then I think I'm out of the party altogether.

Madmax :hug:

[madmax]

40. Thanks love,

I needed that. I'm hope that if Clark does drop that Kerry will offer him either VP or Sec. of State. I think he would do well rebuilding our relations with Europe.

[xultar]

10. NO ONE, I'M OUT

[Maddy McCall]

16. Wow. You showed us!

:eyes:

[madmax]

42. No, you don't mean that

Wes gave us a new perspective. Let's try to build on that.

:hug:

[funky_bug]

I'll vote for anyone left who isn't responsible for this

And I swear to GOD if I get one more response from another camp TONIGHT OF ALL NIGHTS telling me I should run and make merry with them, I'm posting this photo again and reminding them what THEIR candidate did to OUR sons and daughters.

This party had a chance to make a stand. They belittled Kucinich, abandoned Dean, and ignored Clark. For the life of me, I'll never understand how some people sleep at night.

[maxr4clark]

11. He has said he is staying in until super Tuesday, at the least

...and after he drops out, if he does so, I will still want him to be our President; but I will vote for the Democratic nominee.

[maxr4clark]

20. I already supported Clark in my caucus.

[Maddy McCall]

13. Goddam it, who do you think???

Whomever becomes the nominee will have my support. Why is that so hard to understand? How many Clark supporters have you heard say that they will only support Clark and won't vote in the GE if he isn't the nominee. I can't think of any.

In case you didn't know it, Clark supporters didn't get pissed and leave DU to start a Clark Underground website where pledges would be made to write in Clark in the General Election.

Clark supporters have been firmly "ABB" and I am sure his withdrawal (if or when it happens) will not change that.

And, might I add, that you could have waited until Clark decided and announced to pull out before asking this question.

Clark supporters believed that Clark had what it would take to depose Bush--we remain committed to deposing Bush. Whomever gets the nomination will be whom I will support. My last word on this topic.

On edit: So a few "new" Democrats are going to revert to their old party. If they want to enable Bush...

[Bucky]

14. I'll put a toe in Edwards's camp & leave my heart behind.Thanks for saying

"hypothetical." Those little graces are what make the hard times easier to take.

[knight_of_the_star]

15. None

I changed my registration to Dem for Wes Clark and no one else. I'll go back to being Green and send McAuliffe a nasty e-mail telling him to kiss my ass, that lousy sonofabitch who did NOTHING when the media smeared Clark like it did, then vote for whoever runs against Bush, and get ready to seek political asylum in New Zealand.

May the Gods Damn the Party Establishment to the deepest Hell imaginable!

[Maddy McCall]

21. Do what you gotta do

even if it enables bush to stay in the throne until 2008

[knight_of_the_star]

41. I won't do that

I will vote against him, but the Party has obviously shown that it does not give a shit of any kind what the little man says. They are too wrapped up in their little powergames and backroom deals. If Wes drops out, then I leave the party to its own devices, but I will vote for whoever runs against Bush from the party. I won't really have a choice anyway.

[OKNancy]

19. I already voted for Clark

so since now all I can do is wait for the nominee ( ABB)I'll feel free to bash or praise each one left equally.

[_NorCal_D_]

22. I will either

vote for Kucinich or simply write Clark in.

[TheBigDemo]

23. Nobody for President will be my Slogan! Maybe Kucinich or Edwards but in

reality, I will just go for nobody and focus on local elections. I will vote for whoever the nominee is in the general election. However, my vote in the General election doesn't count in this 66% Republican State. I am calling it for Bush now.

James K.

[Red_Storm]

24. Kucinich..............

Kerry? nah, won't waste my vote on a professional politician that only answers to corporate/lobby interests and who will not bring any real change to the country.......the more things change, the more they stay the same........

[deminflorida]

25. I don't think Wes will drop out...but IF he does....

I will support John Kerry. If Edwards or Dean beats Kerry, I will support Dean or Edwards.

The bottom line is we are ground-zero here in Florida.

The Panhandle where I live gives me an opportunity to stick a damn Knive into the heart of the GOP.

I intend to twist it, once I get it in.

[Tim_in_HK]

26. Won't support

anyone. Will still vote Clark in NY primary via absentee ballot. I pledged him my vote a while ago, and I'm gonna enjoy ticking the box for him as it's the first time in a Dem primary I've actually cared about a candidate. He still has my support and vote, regardless.

Will vote for Dem nominee in Nov.

[Badger1]

27. Eye on the prize

Keep your eye on the prize people. It's ABB. If you don't support the Den. nom. then don't show your face round here and don't bitch about the shrub EVER AGAIN!

[bhunt70]

28. If Clark drops out I'll make my goal promoting good things about each Dem

I won't be bitter about my dog leaving the race but I hope I can convince fence sitters and errant conservatives/republicans to vote for a democrat instead of Bush, by providing them with good positive information.

[Maddy McCall]

38. Best response in the whole thread.

[Democrats unite]

29. Dean or Kucinich.

31. I would support Edwards...

he has been my 2nd choice for a long time. Back when there were 9 candidates, Kerry was 5th on my list..so you can see there how excited I am about him.

[bicentennial_baby]

32. Kucinich baby!

You know it! :bounce:

[Zynx]

33. Clarification, I meant in the primaries.

[Maddy McCall]

35. A premature question, whatever you meant.

[Zynx]

37. I said "Hypothetical". Jeez.

[Maddy McCall]

39. Like vultures circling a rabbit...

Wait until the campaign is dead before asking such questions.

[Momof1]

46. I will vote for CLARK no matter what

I have been feeling like my vote in the primary's didn't count at all anyway. I think this is the ONLY man that can beat *. Kerry will get strung up on his voting record. No independent or republican will cross the lines to vote for him. They would do that for Clark.

As for Edwards not enough experience. I stand behind my first choice. I will vote for Clark in the primary.

[Tweed]

36. Kucinich support

Kerry vote, we have to make sure that Edwards doesn't get nominated

[kayleybeth]

44. I will vote for Wesley Clark in my primary

on March 9th. Period. Even if Clark drops out of the race before then, he will still be on my ballot and he will still get my vote. Come November, I will vote for the Democrat nominee, no matter who it is. We need to beat Smirk in this election. I will not lose sight of that fact.

[mmonk]

45. I would but

Our primary has been held up in court. So we are going to have a caucus in April. Don't know if a vote for Clark is possible for me.

[susanna]

47. My primary is over.

Michigan. I supported Clark there.

I will vote for the Democratic nominee come November. But my heart hurts for the idea that this is any longer a "big tent" party. This primary season has starkly illustrated that it has become anything but.
