Presidential Preference: The final four

[jeter]

So who will it be for you on Super Tuesday?

[TakebackAmerica]

1. Kucinich

He has my vote in the Oregon Primary.

[Tweed]

2. I guess Sharpton is a joke

[BL_Zebub]

7. Yes he is a joke

The fact that he's backed by Republican tools (same guys who engineered the Dade County courthouse riot) proved that beyond any resonable doubt.

3. There really was no reason to not include Sharpton.

:shrug:

5. I wasn't going to include Kucinich

But this is a liberal forum and he has many supporters here.

I think Sharpton and Kucinich have failed in their missions for this campaign.

Neither man had a shot at winning the nomination. But both had a point to make.

Don't give me the crap about how neither gets noticed by the media. That's true. But that's usually true when you get 1 to 4% of the vote in every election.

Kucinich had the support of the Green Party. The Green Party used Kucinich as a way to use leverage against the Democratic Party. The Greens may have thrown the last election to Bush, but they still only won 2% of the vote. Kucinich getting most of that vote, gets about 4% or less in the polls and in the primaries. Not enough to consider himself a player. His positions have also been overshadowed by Howard Dean's campaign. Dean is the one with all the cards to play. Now Kucinich is hoping for a "brokered convention" where he can bring in his one and only delegate and negotiate some terms.

Sharpton was hoping to be the new Jesse Jackson of the Democratic Party. The African-American king maker. But he has failed miserably when it comes to winning primary states with large African American constituencies. He has also come in third or fourth place among African Americans themselves. So his campaign has to be seen as a bust.

I think both men should just pack it in and quit. They're not doing anything and are not accomplishing anything.

8. No, not 4%

Try 5%, 8%, and 15.7%, sequentially.

During a media blackout, to boot.

:mad:

4. If you are going to include Kucinich...

then Sharpton needs to be there, too. Both are admirable for staying in, even with pressure mounting for them to give up.

9. Did you notice

that he has been under some scrutiny for some fundraising?

No?

Oh, maybe because it was only reported in England.

6. John Kerry.
