Who's Your Second Choice ???
I've been trying to formulate a question that would ask that, as if you were an Iowa Caucus Goer. But that would mean that your 1st choice didn't get at least 15%. Since many here want a candidate that will get over 15% (Clinton, Edwards, Obama), the question seemed moot.

So forget the 15% threshold, and just tell me who your second choice is, no matter what happens in Iowa, New Hampshire, et. al.

Me... it's Obama.

You???

5. If I were caucusing in Iowa,
I think my 1st choice now would go to Biden. If I then had to throw my vote behind a front-runner, it would probably go to Obama.

My trick will be waiting to see if I still have a vote in CT come next month. I'll have to calibrate my vote accordingly.

6. Kucinich 1st.
Edwards is my second choice.

But, I'm not an Iowan; I'm a Californian.

9. Biden is my No.1 and Edwards my No.2
Obviously, my vote would end up going to Edwards in Iowa. In the general, I'd like to see Biden on the bottom of the ticket regardless of who our nominee ends up being. An Edwards/Biden ticket would be my best case scenario given the realities.

15. I love Obama, Edwards, Richardson, Biden, and Dodd...
Edited on Wed Jan-02-08 02:55 AM by larissa
... I love Kooch too, but more in a "congressman" soon to be appointed as Commander in our new '09 Administrations Department of Peace.

I love all of our candidates --- but I do NOT want HRC as our candidate and believe if we nominate her ---

----------it is nothing but POLITICAL SUICIDE for the Democratic Party.
