Poll question: Survivor Round 4 -- And then there were Six Dem Presidential Candidates
You don't have Al Sharpton to kick around anymore.

Likely Dem Primary voters only, if you're feeling honest.

Who do you like the least?

1. Are we seeing an anomaly here? Kerry gets few votes in the previous

round, and is now getting a lot of votes. Does this look like some people are coordinating and ganging up on candidates one at a time? Hmmm. I might have to call this whole thing off. Obviously, the best way to do this would be by blind voting so that nobody could see who the common target is.

Graham was an early disfavorite, and now he's attracting no votes?

Some people think Sharpton has no chance because of race, yet Carol looks to be safe until the next round?

This isn't cricket.

Oh well.

It was fun while it lasted.

Or maybe it's too early to tell.

Let's be honest folks. Do you really think it would be a problem for the Democrats if John Kerry were the party's nominee? He's no Lieberman, Gephardt, or Sharpton, right?

2. Ever watch reality based competition shows?
This is the way it goes.

5. Exactly
The person you least suspect could end up being kicked off, often does.

6. Because a weaker contestant is afraid of competing with that person
I thought people here had confidence in their candidates. We like the candidates not because we're going to get money from them (which is what's motivates the behaviour on the game shows). We like them because we think the are strong and can compete...supposedly.

4. You have a good point
People probably aren't answering "Whom do you like the least?", which was actually the question you posed. At this point in the poll, if I were someone who supported Kerry and opposed Dean, I would vote for Carol Moseley Braun. Dean looks to be safe for this round.

7. Your format is destined to bring this out.
Instead of having people vote candidates off the island. You should have them vote for candidates to stay on the island and remove the one with the fewist votes.

Also, some people may be confused and think that they are supposed to vote for the candidate they like.
