Poll question: Who is your second choice for Democratic Presidential candidate?
I ask this due to caucus states like Iowa and Nevada where a second choice for candidate plays very importantly if your preferred candidate didn't have 15% of support in your caucus you are participating in. Chances are that the first four in this poll would not be viable (have 15% of support) on the first round of the caucus.

3. Other:
I'm not sure.

I don't have to caucus; I'll just cast my primary vote for DK.

If I had a 2nd choice, it would be gravel/edwards/biden/richardson, but I haven't picked one of them to favor over another. They each have different pros and cons.

5. On the fence.
My #2 was Edwards, but Biden bumped him to #3 during the Vegas debate.

I didn't like what Edwards said about any Democrat better than a reTHUG not being true... and I don't like the bit about Biden and the bankruptcy bill.

So I'm back to being undecided and requiring further study.

My #1 doesn't waver: Obama!

15. Yup. Edwards has Elizabeth, so at least someone in a JE White House would have ethics.
Gravel beats Obama hands down for next to last, though.
