Da "Next President" poll

[ilovemusic]

and...Vote!

[jinp6301]

Theres no poll

[Luke]

it takes a while after the post to make the poll itself.

THIS IS HOW IT WORKS KIDS.

take note! make a poll yourself and find out!

dance! :dance:

or bounce! :bounce:

or yell! :yell:

but heh, every time there's a poll someone posts that. :ok:

[Luke]

in that case.

this is the most antagonistic poll ever made and it deserves some rep. :confused:

[ilovemusic]

the poll is go

i only included four because these are the people that are in the lead by far
plus its too much work to add everyone...i dont know all their names and spellings

[McCoy]

There's, um, one Republican.

[Luke]

who ever wins... i smell trouble :therock:

[McCoy]

There's one Republican and has John Edwards won a primary?

[mojo_pin122]

wheres mccain

[McCoy]

With all the other Republicans who don't scare me.

[EvanCarmen]

Thats fine. All the republicans can vote for the same guy. They'll still lose. Really doesnt matter ;) *ducks*

[McCoy]

People have such weird and crazy ways of treating their democracy.

[ilovemusic]

Honestly, i'm betting that Obama or Hillary will win...i just wanted to see who was favored more. but i decided to throw a few other candidates in there for hecks sake.

[Needs Wasabi]

OBAMA!

[ilovemusic]

OBAMA!

THE LLAMA

[kittybear]

:ok:

If you think Huckabee is in the lead, especially "by far" you really don't know what the heck is happening. And one republican? I think it's safe to assume between Hillary/Obama on the democratic side, but boy, the republican nomination is wide open.

And I doubt anyone except you on this board would vote for an evangelical nutcase like Huckabee.

[Needs Wasabi]

THE LLAMA

YO MAMA!

Let's just set here and think of things that rhyme with 'Obama'

[:::::::::::::::::::::::::]

And yes I know you selected Obama on the poll.

[:::::::::::::::::::::::::]

I just like picking on you because I don't pick on enough people and you're really easy.

[Obstinate]

Ron Paul '08!!!! :lol:

[ilovemusic]

keeps me down to earth.
and i appreciate your enthusiasm :)


and huckabee is cool haha,
when he wins Stephen Colbert can be vice president ;)

[McCoy]

So, why is it that for all the grandstanding about the war in Iraq we're ignoring candidates with actual experience with foreign affairs or military experience or people who just have experience period? If you were the be all power and you had to hire someone to be president, wouldn't you want someone who's qualified rather than someone you feel will represent you? It's not the president's job to see that your interests are tended to, it's their job to see that the country is run well.

[:::::::::::::::::::::::::]

I think Huckabee is cool.

As a person.

Mostly because he smiles and goes on Colbert.

well... we dont care about war anymore...now we care about the economy...so theres that...

[McCoy]

Right, but still people are off looking in the wrong directions. People are fascinated by Huckabee having Chuck Norris at his speeches and Obama doing crack 10000 years ago and Hillary being a crazy psychobitch. And if they're not fascinated by that they're fascinated by the fact that Huckabee was a pastor or that Obama is a Muslim or that Hillary is Bill's wife.

I mean, I'm at least partially talking out my ass here because I'll be a week to young to vote and therefore haven't paid as much attention as maybe I should, but I'd be surprised to learn that Obama and Hillary are the most qualified that the Democrats have to offer or that Romney and Huckabee are the most qualified the Republicans have to offer.

[kittybear]

well you see...people (in general) are fucking stupid and dont know whats going on nor whats best for them..hence why democracy doesnt work...

hence why representative republics only pretend to work...

[The Sellout]

if this board is a clear cross-section of American democratic sentiment (which i bet to a certain extent it is, though not 100% perfect), Barack looks like he's in a good position to at least lead the dems, if not the country (which i hope for).

I'm Canadian, so my voice doesn't really count for much here, but seriously: register to vote; don't let another Bush slip into office cause you're too busy lined up to see the new Harry Potter movie.

"But I believe it's a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living god. And that's what we need to do -- to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards so it lines up with some contemporary view."

Why Mike Huckabee should never be elected president.

[gabeisner]

John Edwards Is Teh Shitz.

END OF STORY

Well, as long as stupid people vote to eliminate themselves, there's hope that one day they'll be gone. No government really works though, they can only really try to work. I think when all is said and done though, we actually do a pretty good job of it. I don't feel the squeeze on a day to day basis, and when I do it's usually more of a local thing than a federal thing. The federal thing is certainly poking its nose where it doesn't belong though (what happened to state police power, right?).

The irony slays me. Oh, it's so multi-layered. Seriously, the wrongness of this statement just extends on and on.

thats what they said about the last 2 elections and look what happened :cry: :scared: :fixedvoting:

and umm.

this poll makes no sense.

3 dems and 1 repub?


at least take out edwards for mccain.

[:::::::::::::::::::::::::]

This should read

Hillary
Obama
McCain
Romney

And maybe maybe Huckabee.

That is going along with your "only the candidates who stand a chance" approach.

[bumbletort]

Obama.

[some dude]

yah.. romney and mccain should be up there if you're going to be fair to all the ones that stand a chance... and really edwards doesn't stand a chance. also a "none of the above" or "other" category would be nice...

[Luke]

where's the huckabee love? :cry:






:spit:

[HunterThompson]

[gabeisner]

I have one piece of criteria for the next USA president: don't bomb/invade/destroy another country. That is all.

[thedoublehelix]

i wish Gore would've run again

[E Smith Rock]

It would have been nice if he had won before.

[errorinparagon]

Repeat for probably the hundredth time, but I haven't seen an answer!

Why Huckabee over McCain or Romney when you say you're going for those candidates who "are winning" or whatnot? And I like Edwards (though not as much as Obama), but has he won a primary yet?

Ok I read too much into this silly thing. :X

i said i was going to make a poll "Hillary vs. Obama", but decided to throw a few other candidates in there fo no good reason. some of the candidates i like, and others were just off the top of my head.

[Fantasy Paradox]

wheres keenguy!?

go obama.

[kittybear]

:ok:

[TheKeenGuy]

wheres keenguy!?

go obama.
Where am I? I already voted. Although I agree that it's puzzling who was and wasn't selected to be in this poll.

Best case scenario is that Barack Obama wins the primary running against both Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton, because then he'll be certain to win in November. He will not only consolidate but envigorate the left, drawing out new voters in the thousands in a way that Clinton cannot, and pulling in independents and Republicans in a way she cannot.

Worst case scenario is that the Clintons are successful in their effort to stymie the groundswell of support for the Obama campaign, thereby winning the Democratic nomination by depressing the Democratic vote, and making it as difficult as it could possibly be for the Democrats to take either the White House or a veto-proof majority in the Congress.

[shineonmebaby]

I am so very happy to see Obama kicking ass in the poll!

Now if only he can do that in real life.....

[get around]

you're a canadian. your vote should not be counted.

[lisa]

...just saw i was the only one who voted Hilary.
she follows old white man politics like all the other white men candidates and is easily bought.

[lisa]

unfortunately this is a very left leaning board of not just americans

if the world got to vote for the american president, a conservative would never be voted in. unfortunately... even though america bombs, steals and destroys any place in the world it feels like, international views dont apply.

so...when America bombs and goes to war with other countries,
shouldn't those countries be able to vote for the candidate that is least likely to do these things? :)
