Which candidate do you prefer, based PURELY on positions & ideas?

Poll question: Which candidate do you prefer, based PURELY on positions & ideas?

That is to say: putting aside, for the moment, all considerations of "electability," physical appearance, & on-stage demeanor.

1. Kucinich

whoa.

[TroubleMan]

2. Of course I'm saying Kucinich

But Braun and Sharpton are up there, too.

[JohnKleeb]

3. you bet

I dont get it. People like DK on the issues but arent willing to support him but they think hes unelectable. I just wish, that people understood where we are coming from. The late Paul Wellstone said politics is about doing well for people, let us follow that dream and elect a guy like Kucinich who shares that goal.

[RichM]

4. Yes, they are. Did anyone see this article about Sharpton's campaign?

10. thats disappointing, Sorry Reverend Sharpton

[Alex146]

5. DK

but I still like Dean for the other reasons.

6. I'm going with Moseley Braun

[RichM]

9. She certainly deserves some support. It's odd that Sharpton has NONE

so far, because he's the closest to Kucinich of the other 9, in many respects.

[JohnKleeb]

11. it is odd indeed

[indigo32]

18. I'm going with CMB too

eom

[0rganism]

22. Perhaps people prefer Kucinich's delivery on the same positions?

Suppose Sharpton and Kucinich have identical stances on issues. Then it becomes a matter of, "who presents those issues better?" My hunch is, those who like Kucinich also like Sharpton, but not as much for whatever reasons.

7. Dennis is my candidate!

I will support him all throughout

[JohnKleeb]

8. Well to be honest and not being babyish but this validates my thoughts

Well I still support Kucinich and proudly I do.

[LWolf]

12. Kucinich.

By a mile.

[JohnKleeb]

16. I cant see the others lol

I can support the eventual dem nominee.

[DuctapeFatwa]

13. I'll try asking my question again here

[Melsky]

14. Go Dennis!

[kalashnikov]

15. try a different survey

Do a survey on who would be the best LEADER for this country, regardless of their stance on issues? In other words whose experiences lead you to belive they could be the most effective president in time of crisis?

(clark? hint, hint)

[JohnKleeb]

17. Kucinich has some good experiences

This actually is quite unique.

[Melinda]

19. Kucinich has my heart, Dean my head.

And it breaks my heart that Dennis can't win the nomination.

2 cents.

[gristy]

20. I'm glad you thought to do this poll, Rich.

Very telling. Dennis would be pleased to see the result, I'm sure.

[Terwilliger]

21. kick

[JanMichael]

23. The obvious choice is DK however Edwards all of a sudden...

...gains supporters! EDIT: And Carol too, I forgot her....

Go figure...

BTW: I voted Kucinich.

[leftofthedial]

24. how come Kucinich wins evey one of these polls

and finishes out of the money in every poll asking who you'll vote for?

[Mandate My Ass]

25. DK

even without the caveat.
