3. You could have always answered "Other"
But you didn't. So you supported the "lackey" meme yourself. It looks ridiculous when you are cynical about your own cynicism.

6. Not really biased, because...
...if it had been, "Vilsack" and "DLC Lackey" would have been the same entry.

7. Sounds about right to me. And I appreciate the honesty in the poll.
Balanced? Nope. Fair? Yup.

10. Dean would be fun..
So that means he won't get it. I really wish "we the people" had a choice in this matter in real life.

14. we do have a say
Edited on Mon Nov-22-04 04:34 PM by JohnnyCougar
Someone needs to provide contact info for the people who make this decision. If we flood their offices with e-mails and calls, it will make it easier for them to chose Dean.

The only reason I wouldn't want Dean is I kind of want a Clark/Dean ticket in '08.

But someone provide contact info!! Who makes this decision?

15. 440 members of DNC
Here is description of committee. I would contact your state party for names and contact info for your state DNC delegation.

http://www.democrats.org/about/function.html

Members of the Committee
While anyone who is registered to vote as a Democrat is a member of the Party, there are 440 members of the Democratic National Committee.

The National Committee has 9 elected officers: The Chair, five Vice Chairs, Treasurer, Secretary, and National Finance Chair.

Membership on the National Committee is composed of individuals selected by the Democratic Party organizations in each state (including the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico), the U.S. Territories (American Samoa, Guam, and the Virgin Islands), and Democrats living outside the United States and those Territories listed above (Democrats Abroad).

Each jurisdiction is represented by its Chair and the next highest ranking officer of the opposite sex. An additional 200 votes are distributed to the states and territories based on population, with each receiving a minimum of two additional seats. Each delegation must be equally divided between men and women.

Also seated on the DNC are representatives of various Democratic constituencies and elected officials. These include two U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives, two members of the College Democrats, and three representatives each from the Democratic Governors, Mayors, State Legislators, County Officials. Municipal Officials, Young Democrats, and the National Federation of Democratic Women. Fifty members are appointed by the DNC Chairmen, and approved by the DNC, and are considered "Members-at-Large."

25. I think calling anyone from DLC a lackey
doesn't help that category much.

26. I didn't call everyone from the DLC a lackey
Vilsack is DLC. He wasn't included in the "lackey" portion. Besides, there is an "other" category where you can mention a DLC non-lackey. Have you heard anyone else's name thrown around that I should have thrown in there?

27. Then why have DLC lackey?
If you wanted DLCers to vote in other?

You honestly don't see it. Whatever.

28. Because anyone who the DLC selects will be a lackey most likely
personally, I can't see the DLC promoting someone that is going to act independently of the DLC. If you can think of any examples as to how this will not be the case, please explain.

31. I keep asking you to provide an example of who you want
as a choice, and you refuse to provide one. Nevertheless, Rosenberg looks like he will probably get it, which would be my second choice anyway. The only reason I wouldn't like Dean is that he still has viability as a potential candidate.

33. My point wasn't to get a particular name on there.
My point was the bias in the poll, which you made for me.
