CLARK supporters...which candidate are you now supporting?

[Auntie Bush]

Joe Trippi said on Hardball that Clark supporters were going to Edwards! Is that a fact?
I thought most Clark supporters were going with Kerry. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[democratreformed]

1. I'm with Kerry

But, I think a lot about DK.

Edit: I still plan to vote Clark in my primary as well if it's possible. If not, I might vote DK unless, like Jim noted below, it's close. HAHAHAHA. Sorry, just had to laugh at myself. My primary in May 18 - like it will matter by then.

[sleipnir]

2. Kucinich

[Nashyra]

6. Kerry

I respect what Clark asked of his supporters, if I trusted Clark enough to want him for my President I can trust his judgement in who to support.

[jumptheshadow]

60. Kucinich

I am going from one candidate who appealed to my heart and my intellect to the last standing guy with the same appeal.

My next choice would be Kerry, because I do believe, as president, he will find the same courage he had when he was such an effective voice against the Vietnam war.

[BootinUp]

3. somebody's Trippi - n

I find that very hard to believe.

I will vote in the primary for Clark unless its tight in which case I will vote for Kerry.

[boxster]

4. I wouldn't put too much faith in Joe Trippi's opinion.

And DU isn't representative of voters at large.

That being said, I'm undecided but leaning Kerry, in part because I think his military background trumps Bush's false military BS. If the media and the Bush Administration manage to focus this election primary about national security, Kerry is the better candidate.

[madmax]

5. Kerry

:bounce:

[bluestateguy]

7. still undecided

but I don't vote until March 9th, so it likely won't matter.

[onehandle]

8. Clark is campaigning for Kerry here in Georgia tomorrow...

The General knows Best. Kerry is my man.

[LandOLincoln]

11. Kerry, because I'm thinking a vote for Kerry is going to wind up being

a vote for Clark too. Also, like the others here, I trust the General's judgment implicitly.

Besides, I'm not liking Edwards as much as I used to, and my opposition can be summed up in two words:

Hugh Shelton.

'Nough said.

[Crunchy Frog]

31. I agree with you on

the Hugh Shelton business. That's a significant part of my reason for preferring Kerry.

[Auntie Bush]

13. "The General knows Best. Kerry is my man."

I forgot to mention...I'm going with Kerry.

[Dookus]

9. haven't decided yet

I have 'til March 2nd.

[susanna]

10. Kerry

He was always my #2. I can't say I'm a rah-rah cheerleader type at this point; the wounds of the Clark campaign and subsequent withdrawal are still resonating. I am, though, ready to support Kerry in the general campaign.

[One Taste]

12. Edwards

[Kathleen04]

35. Me too n/t

[robbedvoter]

14. Clark in the primaries, then kerry. NOT EDWARDS.

LIAR! First he runs with deanies' money, now lies about us.

[AbbeyRoad]

15. To answer your question...

I wouldn't really say I'm "supporting" any candidate.

I'll vote for the nominee in the GE.

[For PaisAn]

18. same here

n/t

[bicentennial_baby]

16. Kucinich

[Shae]

17. Kucinich, but ...

I probably would go with Kerry if it was close. I'm not crazy about Kerry, but I really don't like Edwards.

[dae]

19. I plan on sticking with Clark in Louisiana's primary. I'm tired of SoS,

piss-ant, whinny-ass, weak-kneed, blue dog, DINO, SOBs. Other than that I sorta lean to Kerry.:)

[HerbieHeadhunter]

20. Kerry

...Tripi doesn't speak for me.

[Adelante]

21. Kerry

Clark in the primary, if at all possible, but if it's looking closer between Edwards and Kerry, my Clark vote goes to Kerry.

[dogman]

26. same same

[union_maid]

22. Kerry

Not anti-Edwards, but I prefer Kerry.

[funky_bug]

23. I'm still on board with the General

and firmly behind Kerry. If he continues pulling ahead the way he is tonight, I'll probably vote for Kucinich though. I don't want Dennis gone from this race yet. His voice is too powerful, and he says the things that need to be said... I realize the mainstream doesn't want to take him seriously, but he has a lot of heart and a lot of passion, and I'd miss him if he were gone.

[cally]

71. That's exactly what I plan to do

I support Kerry, but if it looks like Kerry will win easily then I will vote for Kucinich.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

24. I Will Write In "Wesley K Clark"

Dean was my #2, and probably Kucinich or Mosley Braun after that. Kerry puts me to sleep and Edwards just strikes me as being too slick and not trustworthy. Kerry doesn't stop talking about Vietnam and everytime I hear the words "millworker" come out of Edwards' mouth I switch channels on the TV. Of course I would vote for my grandmother's warm phlegm before I would vote for Bush, but neither Kerry nor Edwards inspire me whatsoever. Like Kerry, Clark also had a silver star but he didn't rub it into my face. He almost never mentioned his wounds or his valor. He tried to discuss the issues and I liked what I heard. That's what I also liked about Dean and Kucinich. Thus, my support is still for Clark, after which I will probably go with Kerry, Edwards or even that bowl of phlegm, whichever one looks like it has the best chance to beat Enron George.

[Jack_Dawson]

28. Clark was the shit

Now we're picking over the remains of career politicians. It's so depressing. I can't believe I made over 200 calls to Tennessee. Why are people so dumb?

[Auntie Bush]

33. "Why are people so dumb?" Because they

listen to so much DAMN corporate owned TV.

[diamondsoul]

72. Pssst.....

If you want the issues out there, take another look at Kucinich. Clark and Kucinich were so close on the issues it near killed me to hear him endorse Kerry.*sigh*

Keep the issues on the table and consider casting your vote for Kucinich. Please note I said consider. Your vote is yours to cast as you see fit, I only suggest that for the issues Clark promoted, at this point Kucinich is probably your best bet.

[Jack_Dawson]

25. Sacramento Kings

Go Kings! You can beat the Lakers on Thursday even though it's in LA. You've been playing great away from Arco anyway...

[BootinUp]

29. hehe

The Lakers are my team, but if it'll make you happy then more power Jack.

[Crunchy Frog]

27. It took me awhile to come around

and I preferred to remain nuetral and uncommitted, but I guess I have decided that I prefer Kerry, for a variety of reasons.

At least this time I can watch things without much emotional involvement, which is nice.

We don't caucus in our state until April, so my vote probably won't matter anyway. If it does, than I will caucus for Kerry. If Kerry pretty much has it wrapped up, I will try to caucus for Kucinich.

It sucks that the repukes took away our primary, so I really don't get a vote, if I did, I would go ahead and vote for Clark unless Kerry was in trouble.

[Renew Deal]

30. Undecided, Kucinich, then Edwards and Kerry in a tossup.

[MrSlayer]

32. Kerry!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

34. Kerry

[Tweed]

36. Kerry!!

[AnnitaR]

37. Voted Clark in my primary, now Kerry supporter.

I don't think Edwards is ready to be President. I think Kerry is.

Oh and for some of the folks here on this board I'm not supporting Kerry just because the General "told me to" or because I think Kerry will pick Clark as his running mate. I just believe Kerry is more qualified to be President.

[Leilani]

38. I'm still a Clark Supporter

I cannot yet make the transition to saying I'm with someone else.

However, I am rooting for Kerry against Edwards, because Edwards is
not qualified to be Commander-in-Chief.

And then I will happily vote for John Kerry in the Fall.

[retyred]

39. Kerry

After Clark endorsed him, it was a no brainer!



retyred in fla
“Good-Night Paul, Wherever You Are”
"The "ONLY" true Democrat from the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party"



So I read this book

[Kimber Scott]

40. Kerry, or whoever wins the nomination.

n/t

[Auntie Bush]

41. Only about two people said they would support Edwards

We should send this thread to Trippi and tell him to stop the propaganda.

[Dr Fate]

42. the Democrat n/t

n/t

[mikehiggins]

43. Clark. Why change now?

I will vote for the democratic nominee in November, no matter who it is. Until then I'm only going to be involved in opposing Bush, not in supporting candidates I wasn't able to support even before Clark got into the race.

Clark is supporting Kerry and advised his supporters that they should follow their own consciences as to what they should do.

So me? I figure I don't have a dog in this fight. Let Kerry and Edwards duke it out. Whoever wins will get donations from me, etc., etc. but I will not be handing out literature or canvassing or any of that stuff.

I have serious doubts that any of the current candidates can beat Bush in November UNLESS he so totally fucks up that even the "deaf, dumb and blind kid" will catch on and vote him out.

Until then, its "don't trust leaders and watch the parking meters."

[DIBL]

44. I'm with Kucinich

but if it came down to Kerry vs. Edwards, Kerry gets the vote.

[incapsulated]

45. Edwards??

Where does he get that from, lol. Are we Clarkies on DU that different from the others around the country?

I want Kerry to win. I'm not actively "supporting" him, though. Doesn't look like he needs my help, anyways.

[tishaLA]

46. Kerry n/t

[tameszu]

47. Kerry

I think I like Edwards more as a person, but he would be a disaster in terms of foreign policy, even if he won. He still supports the Iraq War, doesn't campaign on foreign policy at all. It would be a 1-term deal, if any significant foreign crisis happened. Plus Edwards' stand on gays is not good, and his views on trade all over the place. And it doesn't hurt that Clark's clearly in Kerry's good books now...

[Jai4WKC08]

48. Tell Trippi to stick it

I'll stand for Clark in our caucus, which isn't until March 13th. But then it's Kerry all the way.

Edwards is pure flat out unqualified.
And then there's the Shelton thing.

[Piperay]

49. Kerry...

I like BOTH men but I think Kerry has a better shot at beating chimp and I also lean in Kerry's direction because the General endorsed him. :thumbsup: I'm still voting for Clark in the California Primary, I would feel bad if I didn't, Clark is still number one with me.

[meow mix]

50. ill take Kucinich plz

he's the best candidate running. endorsement or vp slot not a factor for me =)

[TheBigDemo]

51. Kucinich, but only because I believe in Clark's stand on the issues

Clark is closer to Kucinich on the issues than any other candidate running. Then Kerry, then Edwards.

[bicentennial_baby]

63. Yep

You got it!

[juajen]

52. Have had a hard time making up my mind, but

I think I am going to vote KUCINICH. Will, of course, support the nominee. I really miss my General, though. Have thought about voting for him anyway. As you can see, I have really been conflicted.

[Guava Jelly]

53. Kerry

I liked clark because I believe we needed someone who could challenge bush on national security.
the mill woorkerson ,preacher , and vegan dont fill the spot.
Kerry does

[Bread and Circus]

54. Trippi can get bent. I am not with Edwards.

[maddezmom]

55. voted absentee for Clark, but I'm behind Kerry now n/t

[wyldwolf]

56. Kerry

[Frederic Bastiat]

57. Kerry n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

58. I'm not supporting anyone.

Clark will get my primary vote on March 16.

[Donna Zen]

59. Already voted for Clark

And wish I could do it again in November.

Since that is unlikely to be an option, if the election in my state is close and I must vote for the presidential candidate, then whoever is on the ballot with a "D."

Why would anyone who supported Clark voting for someone who thought that a war was a good idea? It is the worst foreign policy decision this country ever made. Ever. Did you hear that Hugh Shelton, you sorry sack of shit?

Edwards? I remember clearly that Dean's supporters felt Wesley Clark had no experience in domestic politics, and now Trippi believes that 2 years in the Senate voting to support NCLB, the Patriot Act, and IWR, makes Edwards a domestic guru. I don't think so. But then, I'm just one of those NEA members.

[Eurobabe]

61. Kooch

DK all the way. Not convinced re: Kerry yet.

[mmonk]

62. Kerry

Were you expecting just the truth or opinion with a purpose like Trippi?

[Maddy McCall]

64. We are NOT a voting bloc and shouldn't be treated as such/ I'm Kerry

[OBrien]

65. Kerry

always was my second choice

[KittyWampus]

66. Kerry. Will Vote For Him If It Seems Necessary.

but would rather vote for Clark here in NY on Tuesday.

[DancingBear]

67. Just watching all the fun right now

But if the election were tomorrow - Kerry.

[HuskerDem]

68. KERRY - the more I find out about Edwards the worse he looks.

[TakebackAmerica]

69. 1. Edwards

2. Kucinich

[hippiegranny]

70. kerry, and still hoping to see clark as running mate

n/t

[jpgpenn]

73. it sure as hell wont be Edwards!

All signs pointing to Kerry though!

[Auntie Bush]

74. Glad to see so much Kerry support! Trippi gave me a scare.

Glad you guys proved him wrong. I ain't no Edwards/Sheldon supporter. I laugh when I hear the media say he runs such a positive campaign. Yeah...Mr. nice guy!

Did anyone write Edwards and tell him why he won't get Clark supporter's votes?

[Adelante]

77. Typical blackbag ops from Trippi

I know you weren't worried. ;)

[mobuto]

75. Kerry

No doubt about it.

[West Coast Democrat]

76. Kerry or Kucinich

I'm in a late primary state, but if it somehow became a very close race between John and John, I'd vote for Kerry.

[ronnykmarshall]

78. Kerry
