Title: Presidential Candidate Poll
Post by: Tyrian on March 17, 2007, 11:04:41 am
Inspired from another thread (I don't remember which one), pick who you want to run for President of the USA.  Since there are so many, I only listed the main ones (And one of wishful thinking, Giuliani). 

I voted for Obama.

I don't know the candidates stances atm (only a very broad sense of what they stand for), but I'm going to say I'm leaning for Obama atm.

when you put in a fake choice like that, it ruins the whole poll.

Yeah especially a retarded fake choice that, for some reason that eludes me, is currently in second place.

I threw in Leonidas for president as a joke...I didn't think anyone would actually pick him... :nervous:

I'm curious as to the real results, so forgive me for editing out Leonidas and resetting the poll. Everyone please vote again (I voted Guliani). :D

as much as i think someone with ideals, who is able to stick with their ideals (Leonidas) would make a better president than any politician, i had to pick obama, cause he is both a democrat, and is not hillary.

sure, edwards is from my home state, but that works against him more than it works for him (more likely to be christian)

I want Romney to win the Republican primary. From what I've heard, far more articulate than his opponents.

I want Obama to win the Democratic primary. Again, far more articulate than his opponents.

We'll see from there.

I watched that ****head running my state and thought it would never end-- if he were to end up running the country I would hit the sauce hardcore.

Nay!

Because we all know that elections are false.

False in the eyes of your God-King Xerxes!

Kneel before the one who controls goat-head, lobster-hands, and MAGIC! *boom*

MacGyver! (http://www.specialfarm.net/macgyver2008.html)

Actually, I think the whole thing's kind of pointless. Hillary will win the Democrat primary, and she'll lose the election, unless there's a strong female republican vote that'll swing her way (which I doubt). I suppose I'd probably like Obama to win, based on his policies and his fairly non religious outlook on life (at least, as non religious as I think you can get as an American politician these days), and because it'd be funny watching Howard squirm on the off chance they're in office together (I dread to think). Giuliani will probably win if he gets the republican primary.

Giuliani will probably win if he gets the republican primary.

Not to say that McCain isn't a formidable candidate either.

Guiliani stopped over in Indianapolis a while ago, and I've got to say I was fairly impressed.  If either of them win the primary, I'll be voting for them.

Obama's too young, or I would vote for him.

I'd go for Romney. He seems to be able to work well with both parties (as a Republican in Mass., and the political polarization is a real turn off for me, so being able to do this is very important), has a good track record, is smart about economics, has a variety of experiences, is articulate, is able to spell out his plans rather than just say he has some (yes, Edwards and Kerry, I am looking at you when I say that) and has a refreshing lack of scandals and skeletons in his closet.

Title: Re: Presidential Candidate Poll
Post by: Cobra on March 23, 2007, 01:08:58 pm
Obama.

I got dragged into a political discussion during a math help class including my teacher and two other people, and we started discussing the likely politicians who would win.

Clinton is a *****, anyway.

Also, the snuffleupagus thing is freaking old.
Title: Re: Presidential Candidate Poll
Post by: Janos on March 23, 2007, 11:28:37 pm
I cannot but love the fact that despite every Democrat liking Obama waaaay more than Clinton they're still going to cheer for Clinton because "she is electable". Yay for tactical support, haha.

Richard Prior FTW!  (May he rest in peace)!
