Poll: If we get a brokered convention in Denver, which darkhorse

[rateyes]

candidate would you like to see take the nomination?

[BooScout]

1. Vote Tampering!

:evilgrin:

[rateyes]

2. I beg your pardon...

I promise you that there will NOT be tampering with the machine in order to switch your vote from one candidate to the other. :P

[BooScout]

4. I demand a recount........

:tinfoilhat:

[rateyes]

6. OK, but the rules state that you have to pay the counter (me)

$250,000.00 to defray expenses. :evilgrin:

[rateyes]

3. This is already shaping up to be a nailbiter between

Al Gore and Al Gore.

[dysfunctional press]

5. john edwards. i have so gotten over gore in the past few months...

if he wanted in, he definitely had his chance.

and i was really hoping that he would.

but at this point- fuck him.

[rateyes]

8. I'm sorry, but

his name is not on the ballot, and we can't accept write-ins. (BTW, I'm voting for Edwards in the primaries.)

[AX10]

7. Al Gore.

If not him, Edwards.

[Missy M]

9. To be fair you should have added....

one more Al Gore to the poll. There is something sinister with having 10 Al Gore's and not 11.

[rateyes]

11. Are you accusing me of not being fair and balanced?

:rofl:

[Missy M]

21. Absolutely...

to make matters worse you have Al Gore listed first and last. Definitely an unfair advantage.;)

[rateyes]

24. So, sue me!

:rofl:

[tridim]

69. Al Gore is one louder..

He goes to eleven.

[Kucinich4America]

89. Ridiculous! This is a Presidential poll, not Spinal Tap!!

This one does NOT go to 11.

[rateyes]

10. At the time of this posting the two blue Al Gore's are neck and neck.

[Ken Burch]

12. This wouldn't possibly be a PUSH POLL or anything would it?

I really can't guess from the poll questions who rateyes might actually want.

:sarcasm:

[rateyes]

13. No. And, I can't believe that

you would even accuse me of such a thing! :P

[Bucky]

14. Oh crap, I hit the wrong button. Can I ask the mods to let me change my vote?

[rateyes]

17. You can ask the mods anything.

But, I don't think it will do much good. It's not like this is a butterfly ballot, or something. :D

[rateyes]

15. Uh oh. The lavender Al Gore has caught up with the blue

Al Gore. (Not that anyone should vote for or against a candidate based on nothing but color). :D

[hootinholler]

16. Why isn't the green Al Gore winning?

Sheesh!

-Hoot

[rateyes]

18. Green? You're voting for the GREEN Al Gore...

This is DEMOCRATIC Undergroud. Commie. :evilgrin:

[Ken Burch]

22. Not "Commie". This year's slur is "DHL"(Democrat-Hating Leftist)

Keep up with the catchphrases, willya?

[rateyes]

26. My bad...

or is that last year, too? :shrug:

[baldguy]

19. My first choice would be Al Gore.

But I like Al Gore's policy positions.

Then again, Al Gore has the experience.

[rateyes]

20. Yeah, all that is true...but, I want the Al Gore that can deliver

change. :P

[Labors of Hercules]

30. But Al Gore has been delivering change!

He's spent years making change... (of course, you knew he was a cashier at the 7-11 before he got into politics, right?) :rofl:

[rateyes]

38. So, HE'S the guy that

cleans the slurpee machine!! I wondered who that was.

[TahitiNut]

23. Let's take a dieBOLD stance!!

:eyes:

[rateyes]

27. That's what I'm talking about! nt

[BooScout]

25. I refuse to vote for Al Gore....

If he get's the brokering I cannot vote for him.

But I will vote for Al Gore.:silly:

[rateyes]

28. Can't we all just get along?

:rofl:

[BooScout]

29. Kumbayah

:loveya:

[rateyes]

32. I just got a hankering to

sit by a campfire and make s'mores. :D

[Ken Burch]

33. The real question is, will the supporters of the various Al Gores be able to come together

around a single AL?

[rateyes]

35. Single Al?

I thought he was married to Tipper. :shrug:

[robbedvoter]

31. Tough race!

[Labors of Hercules]

34. blue... no yellow!

decisions, decisions...

[rateyes]

36. Make up your mind already.

:D

[rateyes]

37. Nobody said politics was easy.

:hi:

[rateyes]

39. With 25% of the precincts reporting...

Al Gore seems to have taken the early lead...but, the night is still young, and the polls have not yet closed. Therefore, it's too early to project a winner. Let's just say, at the moment, it's too close to call.

[Missy M]

42. How dare you say that.....

they voted early in East Podunk (population 25) and they voted 10 for Gore, 8 for Gore and 7 for Gore so how can you not project the winner.

[rateyes]

43. Hey, who's running this railroa...uh, I mean election, anyway?

I can assure you that the exit polling is matching up with the votes cast thus far. You'll just have to trust me. :evilgrin:

[Uncle Joe]

40. This vote was a tough one for me, it being a photo finish between

Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore, Al Gore and last but certainly not least Al Gore.

I came close to throwing a wrench in your works and writing in Albert Gore or the more radical Albert Gore Jr., but for the sake of harmony and the good of the nation, I decided against it.

It finally came down to the green Al Gore, working to save life as we know it from the threat of global warming climate change. The orange Al Gore who saw the folly early on of going in to an unnecessary premeditated war with Iraq based on lies. The blue Al Gore putting out his best seller "The Assault on Reason" regarding the decline in our public deliberation, dysfunctional media and subsequent dumbing down of America or the purple Al Gore that championed opening up the Internet, thereby empowering the people's voice to be heard over or through the one way megaphone of the corporate media, which resulted in the slandering, libeling, and trashing of him by them as the Internet grew in power and influence.

So will it be Nostradamus Gore, Prometheus Gore, Socrates Gore or Neo Gore, I still don't know? But there is one thing I do know, no one person can save us all, that would be hero worship, we all have to do it, after all Al Gore is only human.

[rateyes]

41. That was beautiful....I'm choking back tears...

You've convinced me. I'm supporting Al Gore. :cry:

[Uncle Joe]

46. Well it's not often someone can reply to such a thoughtful post.

:)

[rateyes]

48. Stop it...

I'm running out of tissue! :D

[rateyes]

44. Right now, it looks like we might have to broker the

brokered convention. None of the Al Gores yet have a majority.

[rucky]

45. Stop discriminating against everybody not named Al Gore.

Gorist!

[rateyes]

47. Hey, bud...

Get your facts straight before you play the GORE card!! :P

(And, while you're at it...one more vote would put this poll on the greatest page....not that I would dare ask someone to do something like that for my own selfish reasons or anything...Just saying.) :evilgrin:

[dorkulon]

49. I voted Gore.

I know, I know, but given the choice I had...

[rateyes]

50. You mean you held your nose and voted for

Al Gore because the alternative was worse? :shrug:

[dorkulon]

53. Well I didn't want to vote Nader again.

:evilgrin:

[rateyes]

60. I didn't want you to vote Nader again, either...

that's why I kept his name off the ballot. (I hope he doesn't sue me. :yoiks: )

[dorkulon]

63. Damn corporate Democrats!

You're no different from Republicans, I tell you!

:spank:

[rateyes]

65. Ouch...

Spank me again, please! :evilgrin:

[MelissaB]

51. I voted for the first Gore in blue, but I like the other one, too.

:)

[rateyes]

54. So, if the first blue Gore is not the nominee...

you will support the eventual nominee?

[MelissaB]

55. Only if it's Al Gore.

I would take a red, green, yellow, or purple Al Gore only if one of the two blues didn't win. After all, any Al Gore is better than a republican. :evilgrin:

[rateyes]

57. That's for damned sure.

:D

[MelissaB]

59. I'm so glad you're not advocating a third party candidate.

:)

[rateyes]

61. Hey, I'll

go to as many parties as I can get to, whichever candidate is throwing it. :P

[terrya]

52. Al Gore is not running for President.

I honestly take him at his word when he's said, several times, that's he's not interested in running for President.

And the days of a brokered convention went out with Gore Vidal's "The Best Man"

[rateyes]

56. He's not running? Then why is he listed

in this poll? :shrug:

[mopinko]

58. i'm voting for al gore, even tho

i have donated several times to al gore.

[rateyes]

62. I'm glad you finally saw the light.

:D

[mnhtnbb]

64. The Al Gore that thought Lieberman for VP was a bad idea?

[rateyes]

67. He's listed.

I think every Democrat now thinks that was a bad idea.

[tridim]

66. The guy in my sig line.. Well, sig word.

I keep thinking about changing it, but I just can't do it.

[rateyes]

68. How inflexible can one person be?

:evilgrin:

[tridim]

71. I just can't figure out what kind of "ist" I am for supporting Gore

I'm sure a GOP mole will let me know eventually.

[rateyes]

73. See message #45 & #47....

You've already been labelled. (As have I.) :D

[smoogatz]

70. I picked Gore.

God, that'd be sweet, wouldn't it? I wonder where Vegas puts the odds.

[rateyes]

72. Sweet is an understatement. nt

[JVS]

74. Trafficant!

[rateyes]

77. How many times do I have to say this?

NO WRITE-INS! (We just can't take the chance.) Geeez. :P :hi:

[Selatius]

75. I want to tell you that the Red Al Gore is a communist. Vote for anybody but red.

What's the old saying? Better dead than red?

:sarcasm: :silly:

[rateyes]

78. Uh oh...you just

pissed off 7 people. Better watch your back! :rofl:

[Missy M]

76. It looks like the voting is over and Gore won.....

and Gore said he thinks it was the "Gore Effect" that caused him to win. When people were polled they said they were voting for Gore and instead voted for Gore.

[rateyes]

79. Hey. Who told you that the polls were closed?

I smell a propaganda campaign, or voter caging, or something fishy going on here. Are you trying to suppress the vote or something?

And, you accused me of not being fair! :shrug: :rofl:

[Missy M]

81. Oops....

the media told me Gore won so I assumed the polls were closed. I didn't vote for Gore because the media told me Gore already won and I figured why bother to vote for the other Gore.

[rateyes]

83. One always gets oneself in trouble by

listening to the media. 40 lashes with a wet noodle for you!

[rateyes]

80. You can spin it any way you want it...

you won't change the results. :D

[rhett o rick]

82. Can I write in Al Gore???? nm

[rateyes]

84. No write-ins...

Haven't you read the rule book? :shrug:

[rhett o rick]

85. Ah-geeeze, im tellin nm

[rhett o rick]

97. Ok then I'm voting twice. nm

[rhett o rick]

86. Don't matter the super-delegates would install Clinton anyways. Just sayin nm

[Ellen Forradalom]

87. Shall I vote my conscience or for the most likely winner?

[rateyes]

88. I can't tell you how to vote...

That would be wrong. :D

[Kucinich4America]

90. What this really comes down to is which Al Gore will actually win the election

Only to have the Supreme Court give it to another Al Gore who got less votes. :evilfrown:

[rateyes]

93. Oh shit....

I've got to find a way to make sure that doesn't happen. What am I going to do?

[candymarl]

91. This voting is rigged

I'm taking this to the Supreme Court. Stop the count! Stop the count! Stop the cou... Wait a minnit...
:blush:

[rateyes]

94. You accusing me of cheating?

:shrug: :D

[candymarl]

98. Yes

I was Diebolded again!
:cry:

[rateyes]

99. Listen, you didn't vote for the correct Al Gore...

so I had to switch your vote. It was for the good of the country.

[WillyT]

92. Sorry... I'm Only Allowed To Vote On Butterfly Ballots

:evilgrin:

[rateyes]

95. Well, then, you're disqualified because

I'm not looking for any hanging chads.

[LWolf]

96. Kucinich, lol. n/t

[rateyes]

100. I like Kucinich. I really do. But rules are rules...

No write ins. :D

[LWolf]

102. Wouldn't Al Gore be a write-in at that point?

In a brokered convention, I'd be strongly for DK, followed by Gore/Edwards, even split.

[last_texas_dem]

101. Lyndon Larouche!

:hide:


:sarcasm: <------ (just in case)
