Ok, here's another poll, this one inspired by a certain someone who claims that "Bernie Sanders is no Obama" (something I'm sure we all can agree upon, but which does not necessarily mean he can't win).

(1,936 posts)I started out supporting Clinton in 2008, switched to Obama fairly early (Feb.?). This year I am supporting Clinton with no inkling of changing.

(27,247 posts)When it got down to Hillary vs. Obama, I felt like I didn't have a dog in that race. I wasn't too excited about Obama because I thought he didn't have much experience and I didn't like the way he praised Ronald Reagan. And I didn't particularly care for Hillary because of her IWR vote, which, among other things, helped give legitimacy to the fradulent Bu$h misadministration.

(32,147 posts)I see Bernie as our best chance to not only continue his work, but to improve on it now that we are a couple terms out from Bush. I think the country is ready to move forward.

(12,081 posts)voted for Obama when he won the primary. Now I support and will only vote for Bernie because like John Edwards I believe he is the one who truly cares about the poor and the middle class.

(3,041 posts)I supported him too, but now I think he cared only about his ambitions and thought populism was the way to achieve them.

(12,081 posts)have been even worse but I don't believe it had anything to do with how he felt about poor people. I could be wrong.
