Poll question: Okay, DU ... Obama or Clinton?
Like it or not, one of these two candidates will be our nominee. If you HAD to choose one, with "other" not being an option, which way do you lean at this point?

12. Sure. Clinton. There I said it too
After a while you get used to the heat and the worst crap singes the people throwing it, not their targets.

19. a polysyllabic update of the original, no doubt
"After a while you get used to the heat and the worst crap singes the people throwing it, not their targets" doesn't have quite the same zing as the original. (eg, "I'm rubber and you're glue.)

21. Yup. Or all those spiritual homilies about how bitterness eats you up inside
those have more "legs" than my post also. Not one for the record books, lol.

13. I'm sticking to Clinton. Obama is great
but in my opinion, needs more seasoning. Just because the Kennedys endorsed Obama is not reason enough for me to switch and climb on the bandwagon. In my golden years I have discovered I am wiser than I ever thought I could be.

29. he is experienced--more than Clinton, IMO
And he's older and more experienced than Bill was when he became president. I don't agree with Hillary's opinion that being a first lady is the same kind of experience that holding elected office is.

I'm supporting experience by supporting Obama.

15. Clinton
Clinton. She's the only person who can reverse 7 years of Bush policy. We need tenacity and someone who can fight and scream, if need be. It's just not the time right now for a 'feel good' candidate.

20. With this small sample Clinton is doing better on DU
than on the much larger sample on Daily Kos where she is pulling only 11% with nearly 8000 voters

http://www.dailykos.com/

Not sure what that means

23. There are more tenacious Clinton supporters here willing to talk about real reasons to support her
That's my guess. Plus here people get exposed more to the full range of arguments because of how every thread gets more equal billing. At Kos only the Diaries that get massive backing from reccomenders linger long to get read, which creates a viscious circle. It becomes harder and harder to present Clinton's case and be seen there.

27. True
I like neither very much on their own merits. I only like Obama better because I'd like a Democratic president and I feel he has a better chance in the GE. The Republican slime machine will attack either of them, but they have a big head start on HRC because they don't even have to convince millions who have already made up their minds to hate her.

26. Given the way the rest of these polls have gone, Clinton will get the nomination.

So true. The top vote-getter in each poll here on DU has had to drop out.

We're jinxing them!
