Edited on Sat Feb-17-07 11:03 AM by ginnyinWI
Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards.
If you were to vote today, which of these three would you choose?

3. these top three were listed by Blitzer yesterday
I didn't see what poll he was quoting, but those three were at the top of it. Of course it's very, very early to be believing any poll. At this time in the last cycle, Dean and Clark were the favorites I think.

4. Gore or Biden
Gore, Biden, Hillary, Obama, Edwards. In that order.

Any of the Democratic candidates would be a victory for the country. Any of the Republicans would be a disaster.

5. The media says they are...because they are...
At this point in time...that could change...probably will...personally I think Richardson will overtake Edwards...

But right now, the polls are indisputable...these three are the current frontrunners!

7. I hope he jumps in, too
He's got a lot of credibility with the left, and could jump in by fall and be a serious contender. If nothing else, he'd add a lot to the debate.

9. John Edwards is my favorite of the three..
I'm very impressed with Edwards this time, his willingness to admit pass mistakes or votes, and his position on healthcare reform. Mike Gravel is the other candidate I'm currently looking at. Obama is a good Senator, but I still don't know enough about him or his staff to support him.

And I believe...a Democrat supporting Hillary for the nomination is like a Republican supporting Dan Quayle. They could both win the nomination, but what about November?

11.  I like him too, so far
But that could easily change, especially if Gore would run. I'd like to hear the two of them debate the issues.

13. Clark or Richardson
But if forced to choose between the three you named, I'd go with Obama first, and then Edwards second. I do trust the judgement of either of them.

15. Has to be Other.
The main stream media have championed the 9/11 lies, G. W. Bush, the loss of our jobs, the phoney war on terrorism, the war in Iraq, the loss of our constitutional rights, and the upcoming war with Iran. Why should I choose between these three media darlings? Their very presence on this list should cause you to treat them with extreme caution.

I am looking at Kucinich, Richardson, and Clark.

17. I'm torn between Edwards and Obama.
I'd like 'em both on the ticket, in either order.

18. Hmmmm, support both :)
I like both Edwards and Obama, would be awesome to have either as the nominee. My first choices are Clark and Gore, but I'm skeptical about both. I really like Obama a lot though, and looking closely at how his campaign is shaping up.

20. Obama's campaign called our house yesterday, and my husband
gave them a little cash (not much -- just $25).

I was sort of impressed that they'd called us so early in the game.

If Edwards had called, we might have ponied up a little, too.

:hi:

19. Obama is my first choice
Followed by Edwards, Richardson and then Hillary, which I really hope doesn't win the nomination.

I'm also assuming Mr. Gore won't run. If he does...
