Poll question: Why can't some people face the fact that the primaries are over?
If Vegas gave odds on Kerry winning the nomination, I suspect they would be about 1-100.

But I wonder if anyone would actually lay money against Kerry.

5. We must change this! All Democrats need their vote counted toward
who the Nominee is! I am so outraged, not just for myself, but for ALL the supporters of candidates who have had to quit! This is not democratic! What can we do to change this?

7. Kerry looks like
he'll win. I have heard alot of people who don't like him, but we ALL need to get behind whomever gets the nod 100%. Like M Malloy was saying, get Kerry or whoever in, even if they aren't the perfect choice and move them the direction needed once they're in. There isn't anything the repugs like better than to see Dems fight among themselves. You don't see them attacking each other. We need to unify behind the winner.

4. It's not over until it's over! Vote your choice in Primary, Not the Polls!
What, someone already has all the delegates they need for the nomination? Must have been asleep longer than I thought!

Remember that it is ALL about the delegates! Give your candidate all you can, even if they have withdrawn, or stopped campaigning, so that your voice and your candidate's voice is not stilled!

We vote ABB in November, but we still want to have a say in what the party platform is!

6. You forgot these two...
..."HATES KERRY."

..."REFUSES TO ACCEPT THE FACT THAT DEMOCRATS HAVE SCREWED UP AND SELECTED A TERRIBLE GENERAL ELECTION CANDIDATE ONCE AGAIN PROVING THAT DEMOCRATS STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO WIN ELECTIONS."

You forgot those two.

9. Maybe we'd like to vote first?
Edited on Sat Feb-28-04 09:31 PM by Cuban_Liberal
We're funny like that, out here in Illinois...

10. That's a good one as well...
...I would like to vote first as well, but John Edwards would have gotten the nomination a long time before my state caucuses in either May or June.

14. Um...maybe because I haven't voted yet.
That would be one logical reason, wouldn't it?

16. Not really.
Kerry has it wrapped up.

Time to get behind a winner.
