I skipped the ones where I might have been
tempted to third party because there was no
specification of what third party might be
available. I would vote for mayor bloomberg
in a huckabbee/ clinton or obama/bloomberg
case...or so it seems to me now.
looking at the results it seems that again
mr paul has quite an internet following
well... anyway we will see what will be.

	It's interesting to me that so far many of the people who would vote for Paul in the general election would also vote for Thompson but not any of the other Republican candidates. I'm that way myself; I think Thompson has the best domestic policy positions of the Republican candidates besides Paul. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	I don't know which term best describes my political views, so I went with paleolibertarian, which mostly fits, but paleoconservative probably could fit as well, or some kind of libertarian/centrist/conservative mix of some kind. Ah well. Regardless, if Ron Paul isn't in the running, I will be writing his name on the ballot over whoever is. (Reply to this)

	gwreddragon 2008-01-09 05:25 pm UTC (link)
	I'll vote for anyone running against clinton. My sentiments exactly. If Clinton is on the ballot, the sheer horror of her becoming President would cause me to vote for whomever would be most likely to defeat her. Otherwise, Thomson seems okay, Romney, I guess better than a socialist Democrat, the rest no. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	The real question is what if Ron Paul ends up as the Republican running mate? I don't know whether I would simply not vote or whether I would pick the scumbag lucky enough to have Ron Paul running as VP. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Voting for the current crop of Republicans and Democrats is like voting for HIV or AIDS: both will eventually kill you, but one will do it faster than the other. (Reply to this)

	I really wish you'd left Edwards in the poll. He's already announced his intent to stay in the race till at least the convention. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	cpk 2008-01-09 07:13 pm UTC (link)
	Edwards? Where's my fork. Sure, Edwards will probably win SC, but that's about it for him. And that has about as much meaning as Harkin winning Iowa in '92. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	I think Huckabee should be president because his name is really fun to say. Or Thompson, because that would just crack me up. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	This just goes to show you that internet polls are jank. You get about 40% identifying as an ideology/party that routinely polls 1% on election day. It's nuts. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Out of curiosity, what's the difference between Neocon, Conservative, Traditionalist Con, and Paleo-Con (what, your views haven;t changed since the Stone Age?;) ) Seriosuly, this is the first I've evere heard of anything other than "Centrist, Conservative, and Reactionary". (Reply to this)
