11/04/07 Top Tier Straw Poll

[Colobo]

Pick your TOP TIER favorite.

[Colobo]

1. We will match the winner of this poll with the winner of

the 2nd tier poll in a head to head matchup.

[cascadiance]

20. It would be interesting to include Gore in that one...

[Debi]

2. C'mon Katz -

Would it kill ya to put Biden/Dodd/Kucinich/Richardson in there?

[Colobo]

4. They are in the other poll.

[Debi]

15. Other poll? What, they're not all running for the same office?

{goes to search for BSI other poll :eyes:}

[itsrobert]

3. I'm an Edwards and Obama fan. But it's far too early to cut off the rest of the candidates

Remember, Kerry had 5 percent this time 4 years ago.

[LWolf]

5. None of the above.

Why keep posting polls that exclude some candidates?

2/3 of those in this poll won't get my vote in the general election should they win the nomination, and the other third is marginal.

A push poll to try to force a vote for someone that I won't be forced to vote for? What, exactly, is the point?

[Colobo]

6. Because I want to see which is DU's favorite top tier candidate.

[LWolf]

12. Why is it assumed that anyone HAS a favorite

among the top tier?

That's like asking, "Which is your favorite? A colonoscopy, a root canal, or a vasectomy?"

Do you want to know which we believe is the "lesser evil?"

[Colobo]

13. If you wanna call it the "lesser evil", go ahead.

I want to match the preferred top tier candidate with the preferred bottom tier candidate. So far, that race would be Edwards vs. Biden.

[Yael]

14. As a female, I would have to vote for the vasectomy

:silly:

[Colobo]

16. LOL!

[LWolf]

17. Me, too, with reservations.

While I can't HAVE a vasectomy, I held my first ex's hand when he got his, and I haven't forgotten.

I'd have to vote for the lesser evil; the one that won't bring the knife on me, regardless of what it does to the other half of the population.

[PresidentObama]

7. EDWARDS! n/t

[Adelante]

8. Obama nt

[Colobo]

9. The candidate who is winning by 6pm will be considered the winner

and will be matched against the winner of the 2nd tier poll.

[Froward69]

10. Wheres None of the above?

[Basileus Basileon]

11. Over in the 2nd-tier poll. Pick the least-offensive for this one.

[conservdem]

18. None of the above.

I doubt I can vote for any of these. Perhaps Biden.

[gateley]

21. Vote for him in the second poll... maybe your vote will be the one that gets

him the 'win' over there.

[ChiciB1]

19. Kick n/t

[gateley]

22. I for one REALLY like these two polls. It is much more realistic, IMO, than

being faced with all the candidates at once. Thanks again, Katz! :headbang:

[Colobo]

23. Thanks for voting; Edwards wins.

[penguin7]

24. You can take your top tier and shove it where the sun don't shine.

[Alexander]

25. Of the top tier, Obama. But I'm hoping I won't have to choose from these three.

None of these three are very experienced and they all have some pretty significant flaws.
