Do you and your spouse/significant other support different candidates?

I support Joe Biden with JRE a very close second. The old ball and chain (joking, joking - he refuses to read DU, spends his time on football boards) likes Hillary. He says we need a "tough bitch" to be at the helm. I say we need someone with a lot of guts and authenticity.

Are you on the same page with your spouse?

2. Unless some other awesome vegan, pro-peace, pro-marriage equality person steps up

I don't think there's any danger that we'll find ourselves on different sides in the primary.

Of course, our primary's late and his doesn't count at all... :grr:

4. I switched to Hillary from JRE, he's still supporting John

I'd be happy with the nom being either of them, or Biden.

5. Me and my mate are both for Edwards

We talk about all the candidates alot. We both feel strongly that John Edwards is the best candidate for the presidency of our country. It was pretty easy for both of us to come to that conclusion based on John''s positions on universal health care, Iraq, and his support for restoring the middle class in this country.

6. My husband is apolitical, but he did watch the debates with me...

and by "watch" that means he slept less than usual through them. His insightful comment was "That Biden guy is the only one who isn't a complete jackass" (You ever see that comic with the puppet, Walter? Walter and my husband have a lot in common)

He's going to caucus for Biden, but mostly just because I asked him to.

13. My husband's republican

so yes, we support different candidates!

Fortunately, he's pretty lukewarm about the entire GOP lot....perhaps even enough to stay home.

14. My SO might vote for Edwards.

Edited on Thu Jan-03-08 07:26 PM by ronnykmarshall

Don't know at this point. Maybe Hillary. He's on the fence right now.

In 2004 he voted for Edwards and I voted for Kerry.

I would have never even dated him if he was a republican.

15. In 2004 I was Dean

he was Kerry. Come to think of it, I don't think we've ever been on the same page during the primaries.
