Wrong, we are down to 4 names. Not a single vote is cast for over 4 months. FSogol Oct 2015 #2
I agree not a single vote is cast for four months. It's kind of obvious. NCTraveler Oct 2015 #3

No, that was a poll of who "won" the debate; not his level of support. brooklynite Oct 2015 #13

I'm not that please it is where we are at, and some of my favorite duers aren't going to like it much, but I think it is where we currently stand.

All I can think of is O'Malley. Not sure who the fourth you mention that should be included in du polls is. If you are talking Chafee that would kind of be a joke to include him in polls here. As far as O'Malley, I think he is heads and shoulders a better option than Clinton or Sanders. My thoughts there don't Mean squat. You say there are four months left, when did O'Malley announce, and in that span of time what change in polls or national discussion has there been about him? Not saying it's fair, just saying it's real.

The next debate is 3 weeks from now. The race is not over and not limited to two.

The last 20 national polls had him at no better than 3.

30 people in a room with the line drawn on the floor down the middle. 20 of them have blonde hair, while the other 10 have black hair. You ask them what color hair do you have and stand on the appropriate side of the room. What do you think the results would be? The exercise would be just like this poll. Pointless, except the blondes would probably have more fun.

I am curious as to how you linked my post with the "real world" when it was clearly in reference to a DU poll with only members voting.

I was linking your post to the UNREAL world at DU. I found it very fitting. I think for a long time, I forgot that DU reflected a small segment of the Democratic party and as such an even smaller part of society at large.

I was laughing with you!

Jumped the gun a little. Just doesn't make much sense for a poll when everyone here already knows the outcome before the first vote is cast.

Bernie is always going to win, every time!

Fortunately BU does not represent a thing in reality.

I will vote the Republican lite candidate, only because she's better than the right wing terrorists.
