Has anyone switched from Clark supporter to Dean supporter?

[MIMStigator]

?

[Jerseycoa]

1. Nope (eom)

[Jerseycoa]

17. I also switched from Dean to Clark (eom)

[A-Schwarzenegger]

2. Many times.

[Cha]

5. LOL!

[webkev]

3. more likely other way around isn't it?

..since Dean was first..

[Walt Starr]

4. Yep

I also switched from Lieberman to Kerry and from Kucinich to Sharpton.

It took me a while to make up my mind

[AP]

16. What are the chances you won't change again?

?

[Walt Starr]

22. You got me

The Andrew Young endorsement came close to cancelling out the Gore endorsement in my mind, but I still give a slight edge on positives to Dean.

It doesn't mean that Clark won't demonstrate another very positive quality and I change my mind back to Clark.

It also doesn't mean I won't change to Kerry, Lieberman, Sharpton, et al, but I give an edge to Dean right now and the negatives I see all over DU do nothing to phase me.

If you want to convince me to vote for your candidate, give me something positive about that candidate that I don't already know about. I ignore all negatives about all of the candidates.

[Texas_Dem]

6. No way

why would anyone do that?

[Ksec]

7. its not the smartest bet to always bet the favorite in the Kentucky Derby

How many times when you bet the favorite do you get burnt?

Im still a Clark guy, I think hes back in the pack waiting on that stretch.

8. Heck No

[MIMStigator]

9. I've never heard of it happening

nt

[in_cog_ni_to]

10. no

but I did switch from Dean to Clark.

[MoonRiver]

11. No. In fact I switched from Dean to Clark

[MIMStigator]

12. Me too, Dean to Clark

nt

[kayleybeth]

19. I switched from Dean to Clark too

I kinda sorta backed Dean for a little while, very early on (even donated a little money to him the first time he brought out the bat) but my heart was never in it. Then someone told me about General Clark, I read up on him and joined the Draft Clark movement and there has been no turning back! Dean's okay, but Clark is THE MAN, in my humble opinion.

[BootinUp]

13. I'd have to start a new account then...so no! n/t

[MoonRiver]

21. It seems like switching from Dean to Clark is a clear pattern.

I've edited this twice because I posted under the wrong thread, and can't straighten it up!! Oh, well.

[creativelcro]

14. Clark to Dean

[tameszu]

52. I call shenaneggans on this one!

An ex-supporter of any candidate probably wouldn't have the relentlessly attitude that you have toward toward him.

[Mz Pip]

15. Other way around!

I switched from Dean to Clark. Never to return.

MzPip
:dem:

[Cha]

18. I guess I missed the nice thing you had to say

about Dean.

[Mz Pip]

48. Guess so

On edit: I will support Dean if he wins the nomination. He looked terrific on paper back in the summer of 2002. Then he opened his mouth and I got turned off.

MzPip
:dem:

[LincolnMcGrath]

20. I would not wear either one of their

jock straps. Thats just gross!

[Carni]

23. No

I don't have anything against Dean but until the fat lady actually sings I still think Clark's record would create more of a problem for bush/rove and company.

[Donna Zen]

24. Kerry to Dean to Clark

Jimmy Carter said tonight on Hardball that Clark could take the South!

[kayleybeth]

26. I feel the same way

The Repukes fear Clark. They are praying for a Dean nomination.

Welcome to DU, by the way :-)

[Clark Can WIN]

55. President Carter said Clark could take the south

??? That's good news. I think that's about as close to an endorsement as we will hear from him. JC is a class act.

[WillyBrandt]

37. Also Kerry to Dean to Clark

Clark combines the best qualities of Kerry and Dean with some of his own stuff.

[deminflorida]

25. Once the voting starts, I expect it to be very close.....

Clark has a series of southern states at the end of the primaries that could help him sprint across the finish line. So I don't believe the front-runner is the best bet in this race. It's gonna piss some folks off, when they lose....Boy is it gonna piss 'em off.

The media's gonna help in making it a close race as well. They love drama. Watch for the Bush administration and neo-cons to start shifting into the panic mode around mid-march, if it's close.

[AnnabelLee]

27. I think I might qualify

for switching from Clark to Dean, that is. I was interested in Clark waaay back when, after the first rumors that he had met with some Dem bigwigs/fundraisers; I think that was some time around November of '02, before the Draft Clark movement was in existence. (Or, if it was in existence, I'd not heard of it). I did quite a bit of research & posted a thread about him, but there wasn't much interest. There was nothing else in the news about Clark for months after those first reports of meetings.

I saw Dean give his speech to the CA Dem Convention in March, & was very impressed. I researched him, & decided that he was the candidate I wanted to support.

[elfin]

28. From Dean to Kerry to Clark here

and that's where I'll stay.

[Zero Division]

29. Hey, I went through the exact same progression for my top preference!

:hi:

[Democrats unite]

30. I went from Grahm to Clark for a very obvious reason

EOM

[Bucky]

32. Me too.

I started checking Clark out just before he announced. I liked Graham's take on things, but he didn't quite "feel right" as a winning candidate. When he left I already had half a foot in the Clark camp.

That said, ABB. For the time being, AEDBGWIWCDTTBB.

[TrueAmerican]

31. I switched from Clark to Dean

Psyche! Gotcha!

[wiley]

33. From Dean to Edwards to Clark

I'm desperate and Dean is just not the strongest or most electable candidate. I don't know WHAT I was thinking about with that Edwards thing. Can we just ignore that slip? Listen, Clark can win. If I thought Dean could actually win I would support him. Can we all just wait until March and get along? Then we all can say we actually have a good idea of who has sea legs.

Thank You.

[Hope4]

34. I am going from Dean to DK maybe

Something seems wrong about the last few days and that poll posted on here today really open my eyes to how far Clinton was down in the polls, then what happen to him and he still went on to win. Amazing how you forget things like that.

DK people, you need to get to NH to warn the voters there as they are people who do not like to be messed with. I have a feeling powerful groups are trying to decide this. Let the voters.

[IronLionZion]

35. i switched back and forth

my support for Dean is not as solid as some of the Deanies here. But whatever, my primary is not until April 27. It would be better to have them earlier. because all this time is being wasted when Bush is unopposed in his primaries

[Clark Can WIN]

56. Exactly! All the primaries should be early and on the same

damn day already. Our primary system sucks eggs.

[kaitykaity]

36. I'm a Dean/Clark ticket supporter.

Does that count?

[KaraokeKarlton]

38. I'm solidly behind Dean

But I also want Clark to replace that weinie Rumsfeld.

[SIBYL 16]

39. Dean won't be there in the end Result !

Jude here. I really don't think he will servive the comming onslaught of what The feeding frenzy is about to bring him after that deal with GORE. He is No Bill Clinton and not even close to center. He is scum and he will be Toast! even with all his endorsements He will go down Baby. He is a very angry man and you you people are eating it up! I like the kind gentleman approach with civility and candor for a Press. Clark has that appeal, Dean just wants to gnaw on you face and act tuff, He's a pussy.

[Hope4]

42. Interesting

I am thinking of leaving dean after this last week and DK seems to be the only one that cares about the people. Clark and Dean care about the rich power groups.

DK is a dem all the time and I cannot figure out what Clark is? At least dean has been a dem all the time.

[KaraokeKarlton]

46. You're talking to a Vermonter

And if you knew what I know about Dean's campaign history and what he's able to overcome you wouldn't be so cocky. Dean has been in politics for 20 years or so and he has NEVER lost an election. He's about the greatest campaigner I've ever seen. On top of that, he ran against the ugliest hate campaign in my lifetime...and he won. It was just 6 months after signing the Civil Unions Bill. All the usual right wing national figures came to Vermont and tried to boost the Republican candidate. They failed miserably. Everytime anyone attacks Dean is just makes him stronger. If the party leadership wants to embolden him even more, they will do as you predict. At this point, there's really nothing they can do to beat him fairly, and if they betray the voters after the 2000 election there will be widespread mutiny within the party. They're really stuck between a rock and a hard place because no matter what they do, Dean is the one who is ultimately in control.

[kayleybeth]

54. Way to make your case there, SIBYL 16

I'm sure you changed a lot of minds and brought several new Clark supporters into the fold with that post. Calling one of our Democratic candidates "scum" and "a pussy" never fails to go over well with undecided DUers. Welcome to DU, by the way. Hope you enjoy your stay.

[mzmolly]

40. Being Clark entered the race late, he's gonna pick up more of 'other'

candidates supporters then the reverse. The good news is Dean is growing in the polls, and the others...well you know :P

[1songbird]

41. I've gone from Kerry to Clark.

I'm looking for a Clark/Kerry ticket.

[creativelcro]

43. YES: Clark to Dean.

I went back to Dean, after realizing that Clark has too much of the military man mentality for me...

[DoveTurnedHawk]

47. Posting Twice, I See

:eyes:

DTH

[WillyBrandt]

50. You know how it is with some

Karl Friedrich Gauss said "Few, but ripe." Others follow the maxim, "Many, but wrong."

[Selwynn]

44. No but I will support Dean if he wins the nomination...

...setting my personal dis-preference for the man aside.

[usregimechange]

45. been back and forth between the two... n/t

[AnnitaR]

49. Dean early on, to Edwards, to Clark once he announced!

Will not waiver from Clark now! He is our best chance at beating Bush. He will bring in the military vote and can win in the South.

A Clark/Dean ticket would the Pukes worst nightmare!

53. No. From Dean to Clark

Was a lukeward Dean supporter, (looking for ABB) but thrilled when the General decided to run. Supporting him whole-heartedly and proudly!

(In Nov 2004, of course, still ABB)
