Zogby Poll: Obama/Powell Ticket Could Bode Well for Democrats

Survey finds Clinton VP pick favored by nearly half of Dems; Huckabee, Romney viewed as best running mates for McCain

UTICA, New York - As the Presidential candidates ponder potential running mates, a new Zogby International telephone poll shows many voters would be more inclined to vote for Democratic Sen. Barack Obama if he were to select retired four-star general and former Secretary of State Colin Powell as his running-mate.

If Obama were to choose Powell, 42% of likely voters nationwide said it would make them more likely to support the Democratic candidate - as did 42% of Democrats and 43% of political independents. The Zogby International telephone poll of 1,039 likely voters nationwide was conducted July 9-13, 2008, and asked respondents how the selection of certain vice presidential candidates would affect their likelihood to vote for the two leading presidential candidates. It carries a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percentage points.

Likelihood to vote for Barack Obama if he chooses ... as his Vice President

I'm horrified that Obama has been talking to him.

What do they have in common?
Oh, nevermind.

[AlCzervik]

6. oh hell no, Powell the enabler had his chance at the UN but he put his party before his country.

[babylonsister]

8. No way. What's Zogby smokin'? nt

[PBS Poll-435]

9. So could Obama/Moses or Obama/Francis of Asissi or Obama/Lincoln

But it's not going to happen.

[AndyTiedye]

10. NOOOOO!!!! Not Colon "Slam-Dunk" Bowell

[Warpy]

11. Not among Democrats!

Powell disgraced himself by spouting lies to us and to the UN, all because he's had a lifetime of following bad orders given by crooks. He lacks the character and judgment to be anything to the Democratic Party except a lesson in what not to aspire to.

Screw Zogby and screw Powell.

[Junkdrawer]

12. One picture...one thousand words...

[pleah]

13. I think it would be a bad move.

Isn't he technically one of the war criminals?:shrug:

[EFerrari]

14. Because we need a war criminal on the ticket!

:sarcasm:

[Virginia Dare]

15. Not just a no..

but HELL NO. Powell can never be trusted. It would be Lieberschmuck part two.

[lonestarnot]

16. Fucking puke! NOT NEVER!

:puke: And that is a lie!

[tbyg52]

17. Before BushCo got hold of him, maybe.

Got a time machine?

[Bluebear]

21. Perzactly.

[librechik]

18. Zogby hallucinating (so is the rest of the "low info voter" crowd. )

words fail me.

[kentuck]

19. Please, No.

Not the Puppet Powell. How soon can people forget?

[Bluebear]

20. No war criminals on the (D) ticket, please.

[ingac70]

22. NOT!

Powell whored his soul for the devil as far as I'm concerned.

[TheCowsCameHome]

23. It won't happen. Not a chance. Relax.

[BlueManDude]

24. Do you people want to win or would you rather bitch about the McCain Administration?

[Toucano]

25. Not a snowball's chance in hell.

There is no way I would ever vote for Colin Powell.

[Booster]

26. If he picks Powell, I will sit this election out. Powell in no way

should be awarded for the lies he spread to get us into war. Picking Powell would be a total lack of judgement in my opinion. There's so many others that would be better.

[mmonk]

27. Not this one.

[orleans]

28. who is zogby polling these days? i used to trust his polls more than

anyone elses. now? not so much.

[Hekate]

29. Oh please. I don't think so. nt

[fujiyama]

30. Why are people polling such idiotic hypothetical matchups?

I mean Powell? Hell, Hagel is a stretch?

I have an idea for pollsters. Stop wasting your fucking time. Hey Rasmussen you dumbshit, Hillary isn't a candidate. And Zogby, there won't be a chance in hell Obama choses Powell. And the likely hood of two African American running on the same ticket is beyond nutty and Obama wouldn't do it.

And besides that, Powell is a fucking joke. Sure he's still liked by many ignorant people out there, but the reality is, he's a fucking moron with a history of a lot of VERY POOR judgment.

[Major Hogwash]

31. Obama and a head of cabbage beats McCain/Anybody almost every single time!

The vice presidential choice isn't going to make a shitting bit of difference this time around.

Obama beats McCain anyway you slice it or dice it.

McCain is a warmonger and can't find his own asshole!
Well, wait a minute, Gramm quit, didn't he?

LoL
