Do you plan to vote for Obama in 2012?

[Tiggeroshii]

[polichick]

1. If he's on the ticket and remains the lesser of all evils. nt

[atreides1]

2. Same here

}(

[txlibdem]

25. Same here, if he is running -- I want him primaried out or for him to gracefully bow out

Pres. Obama has been such a nightmare as a Democrat. He would have been a wonderful center-right Republican, which is how he governs.

Primary Obama out, get a real Democrat running and I will vote for that man or woman with gusto.

If Obama runs I will honestly have to weigh the benefit of having a center-right Republican in office versus whoever the GOP is pushing.

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

37. Yeah that's a real tough choice. Palin, Huckabee, Romney, Newt, Bush, McDonnell

etc. etc. vs. Obama. Oh wait, wait, maybe you like Nader? He's dreamy.

[txlibdem]

45. Yup, so I'll just vote for the guy no matter how many daggers in the back

[Uzybone]

3. I'm voting for Coco

do we have to follow the MSM and poll for an election 2 years away?

[maxsolomon]

4. There is no conceivable Republican I would vote for

In this or any election from now until the end of time. I am more of an Anti-Republican than a Democrat.

[Jennicut]

29. Me too. Whoever is the Dem nominee is pretty much going to get my vote.

[LaurenG]

5. I'm not discussing my vote except to say I'm not discussing it. nt

[zoechen]

6. No, he needs a primary fight. n/t

[RC]

21. A good hard Primary fight.

Someone who will ask the hard questions, state the truth and say what s/he will do to get this country back on track.

[bigwillq]

7. Not at this time.

2 years is a long time, though. I could change my mind. Def. not voting for the repuke. Probably third party or write-in.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. I will, if he's our nominee. Otherwise, no.

I want to see him challenged very strongly.

[theaocp]

10. +1 n/t

[impik]

19. What's the other ooption? You will not vote for him if he's the head of Hyde Park party?

[MissDeeds]

23. +2

[JoePhilly]

9. Absolutely.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

11. Yes

Why do so many people keep asking? :shrug: Who's the next great progressive hope and why would we want to help the Republicans get back in the WH again so soon?

[NorthCarolina]

12. I hoping for a successful primary challenge from the left. Baring that

I guess I will have to settle for the perceived lesser of two evil corporatists.

[impik]

20. Me too. This will be fun.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

13. Yes

Why do so many people keep asking? :shrug: Who's the next great progressive hope and why would we want to help the Republicans get back in the WH again so soon?

[Orlandodem]

14. Only if he dumps Arne Duncan and Race To The Top.

Democrats are going to have to get him to do that. He has lost the teacher vote for scapegoating us too damn much.

[ej510]

15. Obama is pro privatization of everything.

[proud2BlibKansan]

41. Same here

I'll vote 3rd party if he doesn't change his education policies. Can't vote republican and can't stay home.

My vote doesn't matter anyway. I live in red state hell; my state hasn't voted for the Dem prez since 1964.

[tularetom]

16. Who the hell else would I vote for?

No way I'd ever even think of voting for any of the republicans that appear to be running and there is no viable third option on the horizon. At least none that would actually appeal to a Democrat.

[mazzarro]

17. With The Latest WH Proposal Of Federal Pay Freeze

It seems to be that Obama has concluded that the "stimulus" has failed the economy and now it is budget "gutting" that he wants to try. IMHO he is abandoning any and all progressive pretenses. Obama and the Democrats are going to be wiped out since the economy will be nowhere near recovery and people are going to be even angrier than they are now. The Democratic Party will be in the same position like Britain's Liberal Democrats - total rejection by the electorate - if they continue this way.

[impik]

18. Wow, it's been at least 3 hours since the last poll with the same question

Mad house.

[jzodda]

22. IF he's the nominee...maybe I will vote for him

but surrendering to the tea baggers over the next 2 years will more likely make me just stay home in 2012. If he fights them then I will donate my vote, my time and my money.

[Bluenorthwest]

24. I only book 12 months out, but thanks for asking

[stray cat]

26. I'm voting and doubt if I will vote republican or for an independent unless they have a chance

[CakeGrrl]

27. AGAIN with this question. You need to be clear:

Primary or GE?

If Obama's the candidate in the GE and people are saying "no", then to hell with 'em.

[VMI Dem]

28. Doubt it.

He can work hard to change that though.

[mikekohr]

30. Enthusiastically, most progressive President in 40 years

[MzShellG]

31. Hell yes!!!

Theres no other dem out there worth voting for right now until 2016.

[Phx_Dem]

32. Proudly and gleefully. n/t

[rury]

33. HELL TO THE YES!!!!!!!!

[RedstDem]

34. President Romney

What do you think his ascendancy to the top job will bring?

[catgirl]

43. Dog diarrhea n/t

[Starbucks Anarchist]

35. Absolutely.

[Scurrilous]

36. Early and often.

:thumbsup:

[bluedigger]

38. I voted no.

Not because I wouldn't vote for him, depending on who else was running, but because I have seen no evidence that he plans to run.

[paulk]

39. sure.

the same way I voted for wall street bagman and general piece of shit Michael Bennet here in CO.

[Ikonoklast]

40. In a heartbeat.

[AndrewP]

42. Yes

[blue_onyx]

44. Yes n/t
