Reply #32: This poll omits major possibilities -- there should be choices for "Democratic nominee only if ... [View All]

it's ... (Obama, Clinton)", and "other"; even though the poll designer might want to push a principle and a point, it is done at the expense of framing the poll questions even adequately.

As for myself -- as I've said on DU many times -- I'd vote for
either Obama or Clinton if either were the nominee (as if it were in doubt), but not, say for John Silber, and if it were Zell Miller, I'd be very tempted to stay home. I am not willing to be BLINDLY loyal to the Democratic Party, although I am a Democrat, and have voted, and voted consistently for the Democrat for president now for 20 years.

A push poll isn't going to get anyone who would otherwise NOT vote for the Democratic nominee to do so, so the "good deed" aspect of this distorted poll is absent in practice.
