Poll question: Alternative Reality#3. Nader/Lieberman are the last two against Bush

Who do you vote for? If in the General election, you only have Nader, Lieberman and Bush? Who is it going to be? Honestly.

Again, you have to vote due to Daschle's new obligatory voter law, overwhelming approved by Congress in March.

1. I'd go grassroots and try to get Nader in office.

eom

2. Can we have the latest poll numbers?

I'm thinking a lot of us are looking at this from an ABB perspective.

3. Poll numbers from the alternate reality...

...that is.

[sleipnir]

6. Let's assume...

It's nearly dead even going into the final stretch, with

Bush - 36%

Lieberman- 33%

Nader- 31%

8. OK...cast my vote.

Difficult, but a good question.

12. Suddenly a ground swell of activism.

The American electorate wakes up from a deep slumber, takes a good look at the choices and votes for the only non-Republican, ushering in the Nader era.

4. Does Daschle's law lower the voting age? (n/t)

[sleipnir]

5. Sure it does, now you have to be 16 to vote, but

only with a canned food donation...

7. Could we go with Alternative Reality #4

aka Bizarro World?

We could run a Bob Denver/David Lee Roth ticket against Bush.

Or maybe a Pat Boone/Debby Boone ticket would do the trick.

And speaking of bizarro world, we'd have to have one for Republican members of congress to overwhelmingly pass a compulsory voting bill, which would bring out all of the poor and disposessed. But...temporary suspension of disbelief and all that, I get it. I'd have to say Nader.

9. Isn't Connecticut Governor John Rowland --

-- sort of in a tailspin right now over malfeasance charges?

It might be great to have Joe Lieberman withdraw from the presidential race and run for the governor's chair in Connecticut. It's somehow more his venue and he could do some real good there.

I voted for Nader up above because his record on anti-corporate issues is strong.

10. I won't vote for a Republican, and I won't vote for a Conservative

Nader!

[Padraig18]

11. Lieberman. n/t

[Sean Reynolds]

13. Nader.

Sorry, but I'm not even a Democrat anyway.

[Clark Can WIN]

14. I have to go with Joe <choke>

because he is at least a Dem that will beholden to work with other Dems. Nader is just a whore now imo. Perhaps the biggest whore.

More likely scenario, I write in Clark. I live in NE so in reality only Clark or Kerry have any shot at taking my state.

15. I think Zell must be participating in this poll.

One vote for Shrub at DU, not a good sign! :wtf:

[Hippo_Tron]

19. Freepers like to lurk and vote for Bush to get us to notice...

Don't even bother acknowledging it.

[Piperay]

16. Lieberman

I won't vote for anyone who isn't a member of the Democratic party.

[flaminbats]

17. Nader

I won't vote for everyone who is a member of the Democratic party.

[Hippo_Tron]

18. Lieberman because he can win, if they were fightning for the nomination...

It would be a different story. Since my political ideology is somewhere in between the two of them I'd have to seriously read up on both candidates (neither of which I have any intention of supporting at the moment) and decide which one I like more.
