Poll question: If Gen. Clark didn't run who would you support?
If he decided against a run. I ask this because Gen. Clark has quite a bit of support here and I'm just wondering who, among those who have announced, his supporters might turn to. (I'm also not including Gore on this poll, assuming he isn't running).

3. Interesting. Out here in CA there's little to no support
Which is funny because in 04 there was a lot more.

Most people out here are either Hilary or Obama.

8. Obama comes out strong for most people on that test b/c he's so middle of the road
On issues he's still a little vanilla & is not taking a lot of strong stands yet--tho' I expect that to change. So far as I've seen with him, the medium is the message. I prefer my candidates a little wonkier and a little less chummy--but that said he's still my first looksee should Clark falter, drop out, or not run. Having heard him speak, I agree he has "itness."

Mojo, I guess, is an adequate substitute for substance.

10. Same here.
Obama, Richardson, Kucinich, Clark. I'd be happy with any of those.

6. I still think he's just waiting for a propitious moment to jump in. But given that big IF....
I'm completely undecided. I would look seriously at Obama, Richardson, Vilsack, and Dodd. I'm not really adverse to looking at Kucinich or Biden, but I don't think they're going to break out of the single digits. I'm completely open minded this time around. I think we have a cornucopia of good candidates.

7. I have no idea! I only have complete faith in Wes Clark.
I would have a lot of soul searching to do to give anyone else my utter faith and confidence in him/her to win the General Election. I doubt if I could muster up real enthusiasm or donate and work for someone else.
We'll see should the time come.

On second thought...If Clark really pushed for a particular candidate...I'd probably vote for that person. I believe Clark knows best and I have utter faith in his decision making abilities.

11. I would like to choose Kucinich, but since I want to win more,
I selected Richardson. IF he could win the primary, he would be unbeatable in the general.
