Veepstakes survivor Final !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bombtrack]

****IMPORTANT: A VOTE IS FOR WHO YOU WANT AS VP LEAST, NOT MOST******
We'll start off with ten, and vote someone off of who DU wants least. I'll start a new poll either every 1 day or 100 votes, or when a candidate is mathimatically garenteed to get the most votes before 100 votes are cast. Whichever comes first.

[JI7]

1. i think we all know what it will be

based on the many other polls with these two same people.

[Renew Deal]

3. Not if the Clarkies keep screwing up with their votes.

Where's Katherine Harris?

[Kahuna]

6. LOL! I don't think I'm the only clarkie who voted for wes.

x(

[Sparkly]

10. I just voted wrong!!

I'm so used to seeing the General's name in a poll and clicking there... Dang!!

[Sparkly]

11. Plus, before I did,

I thought to myself, "Wow, Edwards is winning? What's up with that?!"

Been a long day, I guess.

[LandOLincoln]

15. Me too, dammit. I was thinking the rules had reverted to normal,

now that we're down to the final two. :cry:

[Bombtrack]

4. Yeah You're probably right

.

[Kahuna]

2. Oops! I voted for Wes by mistake.

:cry:

[onehandle]

5. No problem....

I just hit John by mistake.

No more beers for me tonight.

[KittyWampus]

9. D'oh! So Did I, Didn't Even Realise Til Perusing Comments

kind of a strange poll. :shrug:

[IA_Seth]

17. Dang

I messed up too.

What does that say about all of us?

[Sparkly]

19. It says in November,

we'll all be at the polls going, "So you want me to vote for the person I DO want, right? Or am I voting somebody off?"

[AntiCoup2K4]

20. You know, that's not a bad idea when you think about it....

...Tell all the freepers that they gotta vote Kerry to get him off the island :evilgrin:

[freetobegay]

7. And they round the corner

it's neck & neck folks!

[salonghorn70]

8. The Final Choice

So who is shocked at this choice?:)

[AP]

14. I'm shocked that Edwards is winning a DU poll.

[Padraig18]

22. That's because they haven't blown the bugle at the Clark blog yet. n/t

[Darkamber]

32. That's because it's a vote to remove him.

As I said from the start Clark will be the final survivor. Nothing new here.

[scarletlib]

12. I can't do it.

I can't vote against either one. So what does that mean?

[Lefty Pragmatist]

13. Yes, but...

In the actual Survivor show the final vote is who you want to *win*.

Anyway, I assumed you wanted me to vote the last guy off the island, so goodbye Johnny Fairplay. Really, either one will be fine, but Clark would give us a better shot. So, pragmatically speaking, it's as clear a choice as Rupert.

[MoonRiver]

16. GO CLARK! GO CLARK! GO CLARK! GO CLARKI!

:kick::kick::kick::kick::kick::kick:

[Bombtrack]

18. Clark wins! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Wait for celebration thread

[MoonRiver]

54. So where's the celebration thread??

:shrug:

[in_cog_ni_to]

21. WooHoo!

Do we win $1 million? If so, would you just send half to John Kerry and half to WesPac? ;)

Go Wes! :bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

[mrgorth]

23. No offense, but what the hell is wrong with you people?

This isn't rocket science.

[Padraig18]

24. I knew who would win before the FIRST poll concluded.

So did anyone with the ability to do 3rd-grade arithmetic. :shrug:

[in_cog_ni_to]

27. Of course we knew

who would win, but wasn't the "Survivor" twist on the poll fun? :7 :hi:

[Cuban_Liberal]

29. It was interesting that Graham lasted as long as he did.

That was the real surpise.

[WI_DEM]

25. WOW, it is closer than I thought

previous VP polls Clark was winning 2-1.

[Kahuna]

30. Only because a lot of us Clarkies mistakenly voted for Clark.

Read the comments.

[Padraig18]

31. Did any of you happen to vote for Pat Buchannan in 2000, by chance? n/t

[w4rma]

26. Heh, I voted for Edwards. But he's the one I want for VP. :P (nt)

[beyurslf]

28. If the non-Clark vote wanted to win, they should have pulled a real

Survivor and banded together to vote him off earlier.

[mzmolly]

33. It's almost toss up for me between these two, for different reasons.

But Edwards gets my nod here. I prefer him to Clark for various reasons.

Clark would be good in a Sec of Defense role.

[Darkamber]

37. Sec. of State, not Defense...

I'll just respond for the many Clark supporters who always respond to these. Clark hasn't been out of the military for more then 10 years. He doesn't qualify for the Sec. of Defense, but he could be Sec. of State like Colin Powell or National Sec. Advisor.

[mzmolly]

41. Ahhh, thanks!

;)

[Lefta Dissenter]

34. You all make me nervous

about November! :scared:

After reading your posts, I was afraid to vote, for fear I'd punch the wrong button.

[robbedvoter]

35. Will there be a formal winner announcememt or this will quietly disappear

like all the other silly polls Edwards' supporters keep starting and losing over and over?

[salin]

36. Too torn to vote

I think both would bring great strengths. :shrug:

[FrenchieCat]

38. I voted wrong.....

and so did quite a few others. I hate these trick polls...where you are required to READ the question...which I did not do!

Damn, I'm going to make my man Wes lose!

I demand a revote. This is not fair!

Now I know how the Palm Beach voters felt!

Damn!

[DaveSZ]

39. I'm fine with either man

They are both great guys.

[GreenPartyVoter]

42. I voted wrong too, for Edwards instead of against Wes

so we even out. *l*

But see on the real show Survivor, the LAST vote is for the one you WANT to win. So like, you I was too excited to actually read the instructions and just forged ahead. *l*

[Kahuna]

40. When does Edwards get his "X?"

:evilgrin:

[robbedvoter]

43. It's the usual Edwards supporter poll - so - never. It'll quietly vanish

I seem to remember an Edwards supporter who had in his signature a pic of Clark - crossed - and marked "Dropped out" right until the day his guy did. Then the signatiure changed. It's what they do. That guy BTW is no longer on DU - like all of them who were visiting us temporarily.

[Darkamber]

46. This is started by a Graham supporter...

Very confusing comment. The guy who started this thing is a Graham supporter and not an Edwards supporter.

I'm sure he will make the final post and give Edwards the 'x' that you want. But as I noted when he first posted this 'race' that Clark would win. He mentioned that the last 4 choices would be more interesting then the final outcome.

[Kahuna]

49. I remember that signature with an ex-ed out Clark.

nt.

[chimpymustgo]

44. Thank God for the real world (where John Edwards is the leading contender)

We should stop doing these silly DU polls. They are all the same. The only Veepstakes vote that matters is John Kerry's.

Kerry/Edwards '04. And beyond...

[robbedvoter]

45. Real world being where freepers vote too? CNN?

I keep watching you guys starting these and try to remember: what was the definition of insanity again?

[Padraig18]

47. 'You guys?'

The person who started this series of polls is a Graham supporter, actually.

[robbedvoter]

57. Not really. Was an Edwards supporters throughout the primaries

and only occasionally mentions Graham for VO - "but Edwards would be OK".

[Padraig18]

58. He's pushed Graham for VP consistently.

But by all means, have it your way.

:eyes:

[Jai4WKC08]

48. Give me a break

You really think Edwards is the top contender for Kerry's vote? Why, because the media say so? When did they last get it right?

Cheney? Lieberman? Kemp? Gore? Bush I?

Nope.

The way the media push Edwards is probably the biggest indication he hasn't got a prayer.

[Kahuna]

51. Kerry in fact said that Edwards doesn't have enough experience..

to be V.P. If he selects him it will be solely because of political pressure and Edwards supporters withholding their money unless Kerry concedes.

[chimpymustgo]

55. You got a link to back up these wild charges? Really low stuff...

:spank:

[Kahuna]

56. It's true. Too bad if yoyu don't believe it.

:spank:

[chimpymustgo]

60. If it's true, prove it. Real simple.

:spank:

[Kahuna]

50. I never heard Kerry say that Edwards is the leading contender...

Until Kerry says it, everything else is petty gossip and bullshit. :shrug:

[chimpymustgo]

52. No need to get in a snit...Kerry isn't going to say publicly.

But that is the informed opinion of most Democrats, pundits, most people watching.

except at DU.

Kerry will choose wisely.

:toast:

Kerry/Edwards '04. And beyond...

[Kahuna]

53. Easy for you to say.....

:7:

[robbedvoter]

59. Thanks, Bombtrack!

for the other thread. A classy gesture. :-)

[Tweed]

61. So I guess Clark won then?

Perhaps this should be edited?

[TexasSissy]

62. I don't understand. How do you select who you want least?

Or are these results from several days ago?
