1. just remember clinton would get zero republican votes...says alot about ron paul

[Captain Hilts]

9. Not true. Suburban Republican women and Ind. women will vote forher. nt

12. My sister is a suburban Repub woman

from Arkansas no less, and she will not vote for Hillary. She supports Obama.

[Captain Hilts]

13. Well, that's better proof than my eight years in polling! A focus group of one! nt

2. Ron Paul? Hahahahaha. Someone who is against Soc. Sec. and Medicare?

Someone who is against the EPA? Someone who is against the govt being involved in healthcare in any way? Someone who is against the government doing just about anything? Someone who is basically against taxes, even those being used toward education and public roads? THAT Ron Paul?

Seems like some people need to do a little research on this guy, instead of just going by a few soundbites.

He's a libertarian. He's definitely on the right...way on the right. And he basically does not believe in government. They are pretty scary people, those libertarians.

3. I need clarification. Do you have to have a donor star to vote in polls?

[onehandle]

5. No you don't. In this case a mod locked the poll this morning.

That's why you can't vote in it.

And even though I posted the poll myself five days ago, my hat's off to the mod.

Interesting results.

7. I was asking because if you did that would cast a very interesting light on the poll

Since you don't need a star, then it's highly likely that a bunch of pro-Ron Paul trolls "freeped" the poll.

[Forkboy]

8. I think what's likely is that a bunch of people wanted to piss off the OP and Hillary fans.

:shrug:

[mrreowwr_kittty]

10. Yeah, that too. Although as someone who considers myself strongly opposed to a Clinton nom

I cannot imagine picking ANY Republican over her in a poll.

[scarletwoman]

11. I voted for Ron Paul in that poll because I thought it was friggin' hilarious how folks were getting

so hysterical about it. I suspect there were a great many other evilDUers who voted the same way for the same reason. Watching heads explode is great entertainment. :evilgrin:

4. I agree with Ron Paul on a few issues and am totally diametrically oppsed to him

on a lot of issues.

i couldn't bring myself to cast a vote for either of them in that poll. So I left it top others.

The poll reminds me of our occupation of Iraq: no good choices all bad choices.

6. Hey! This is the place where...

Kucinich wins polls all the time even though he has a tough time breaking 2% in the real world.
