Poll question: Have you made up your mind on your primary election candidate?
Have you made up your mind already?
Is there any chance you'll change it?

2. Where's plain old," I don't have a favorite", without a caveat?
It's a nice place to be, especially because I see our candiates pushing each other to clarify, to intelligently debate positions and to demand accountability of each other.

This is an impressive field of smarts, experience and enlightment. I am quite interested in ethics and integrity, although one must recognize these are mere mortals, not action figures.

I like them all, have frustrations with many, believe they are collectively far better for our futures than the Repubs.

5. I liked the caveats - it took away the easy cop out.

Your very thoughtful post though, makes me wonder if I should've left the poll caveat free.


edit: removed a stray s

3. I'm thinking Obama or Edwards, really would like Kucinich, kind of
uncertain about Hil.

4. Need 1 more choice
Like the majority of FUX polling it leads you to a predrawn conclusion. You should have 1 more option in your poll

"I have a favorite, but I will support whom ever win the Democratic nomination"

6. It's a poll about the Primary elections, not the General
"...but I will support whom ever win the Democratic nomination"
I'd like to think that's a given. YMMV.

8. I'd pick the last one if you had added a "yet."
Right now, I know who I'll never, ever, not in a million years, vote for in the primary, but I'm not ready to commit to giving my full support to anyone yet.

10. Kucinich
I have more research to do, but I'm pretty sure I'll be going with Kucinich.

11. I like Kucinich
But I don't think he would be able to carry the general. Jesus Lord, don't let Hillary win the primary. She is evil incarnate. Obama or Edwards will get my vote. I don't know yet. RUN AL RUN!

13. Obama.
It would take a hell of a lot to make me change my mind, but as the saying goes, "Never say 'never'" ....

15. Kucinich. Period.
I made up my mind a looooooooooooong time ago...

Vote your heart in the primary...

Vote your head for the nominee in the general...

Just sayin'...

16. I'm not comfortable with "never."
I can't see a realistically possible reason why I might change my mind, so I chose #1. Still, I'm uncomfortable with "never." If something unexpected and improbable happened, I might change my mind.

Kucinich, unless a better candidate that no one has ever heard of enters the race at a late date.
