1. why not put Gore's name in there?
couldn't imagine him not placing at least third in that grouping.

2. The ones I would dismiss immediately
Clinton, Biden, Richardson, Bayh and Vilsack.

All the other ones I could be convinced to support (although to varying degrees)

5. Yes it would have been a very meaningful poll...
Had they left the most popular Democrat in the country off of it...

4. I've not decided, but whoever gets the nod should be supported 110%
If we're going to all march to a different beat we will wind up with another Repig in the WH. AND WE CAN'T AFFORD THAT AGAIN.

9. I hate to say it, but if Hillary gets the nomination, DEMs will lose....
She's just too polarizing figure. I'd prefer Clarke or Mark Warner - I saw him on CSPAN last week, and he was very good, and not afraid to answer a question with "I don't know, but here's what I think". That kind of honesty is rare in current politics.

10. What a perfect example of name recognition based results.
At this point, 08 polls are totally meaningless.
