How many here will support any Democratic nominee?
It seems there is a thread everyday where someone or some posters say they won't support Hillary or fill in the blank. Everytime I hear that, whether its Hillary or someone else, all I can think of is Nader in 2000.

I will support any Democrat who wins the nomination. What about you?

1. no....
I vote for people and their stances on the issues, not for parties.

5. Yes. I will.
The Republicans have proven that there is no limit to the damage that they will do when given power. I'm not willing to take that chance again.

6. 99% chance the Dem will get my vote.
I always reserve the right to change my mind, though. :P

8. Unless they nominate a bridge troll, I'm in.
Can't imagine NOT casting a Dem vote, certainly not for president.

10. Unless that bridge troll is
ed koch or zell miller I'm voting for him or her.

on note: I would have included lieberman, but he's not a member of the Democratic Party.

11. The only way this yaller dog democrat would not vote for
the democratic candidate is if some how it was given to Tom Delay, or Dick Cheney or well you get this picture. I will not vote for Ms. Clinton in the primary as I think she is the candidate of choice of the r-Pukes.

13. One thing sure: I'll never vote for a Republican
If there's some reason I can't vote for the Democrat -- which I seriously doubt -- I won't vote at all.

15. For the most part
Unless it was Joe Lieberman.

There are others but none of the ones who will be likely running in 2008.

16. What do you mean by support?
Vote for? Yes
Work for, campaign and call, send money? Not for Hillary

19. In the General, yes, in the Primary all gloves are off.
I do not want to see Hillary win the Democratic Primary. If Gore doesn't run, I will likely support a John Edwards/Barack Obama ticket. If Gore runs I will support him and either Edwards or Obama as his VP choice.

24. Pretty much.
The only way right now I see my vote going to a republican in 08 is if both presidential candidates belong in the other party (as in the dems nominating a big conservative, and the reps nominating a big liberal, and we know neither of those two things will happen).

26. I will
Assuming that Lieberman, Miller, LaRouche and Kucinich have zero chance makes that an easy promise.

27. I will vote for ANYONE who runs on the Democratic ticket.
If you insist on voting principles, as we all would love to do, it's possible we'll wake up to President Brownback. (And that would trigger immediate emigration to Canada for me.)

29. For federal positions I'll always vote dem. State & local? That's another story.
Locally I'll vote for whomever I think best, be it Dem, Independent, Green, Socialist or other. (But never republican).
