Agonist Presidential Poll Results


Our presidential poll results were surprising inasmuch as support for Al Gore (36%) was much more than I expected. Gore, the clear winner, received twice as many votes as his two nearest competitors, Wesley Clark (19%) and John Edwards (19%).

Hillary didn't do well at all (5%), but that is no surprise. Bill Richardson scored higher than Hillary (6%), but lower than Obama (10%) and much higher than Kucinich (less than 1%).

Personally, I'd love to see an Al Gore vs. Hillary cage match; that would so rock! Besides, Al's already proven he can win a presidential election.

Chuck Hagel (3%) scored higher than any other Republican, more than likely due to this post and the fact that Republicans probably don't want a serial adulterer, cross-dressing, former mayor who lived with a gay man after his divorce as president. At least, I don't want him to be president, but not for those reasons.

We'll do this again in the next few weeks and see who and what changes.

a diary about how Edwards was going to "educate" the American people about the "dangers" of a nuclear Iran. Now John Boy has been reported to have attended the infamous Bilderburg 2004 meeting. Since then several reports have put him attending CFR and numerous other type of globalist society type meetings, yet he has the audacity to bill himself as a champion of the "common man" by becoming "passionate" about good ol "down to earth" values.
A Manchurian's manchurian if I ever saw one.

If I had to pick now, Dennis Kuchinich. Reason? The Space Preservation Act, the one he was apparently forced to shut up about. It's only about picking the lesser of many evils.

Republicans? Well I think Charolette Iserbyt explained that in her book "The Dumbing Down of America".

Mason and a Knights Templar, right?

Spare me.

Edwards just joined the Shriners. Which is the same thing as the Masons and the Knights Templar, updated for the Age of Appliances. Those fez-hats and the little cars they drive in parades are only to disarm you. The Shriners control the Homeland. Look for Edwards to name Pat Buchanan as his running mate.

do the Shriners have any thing to do with the coming conjunction of Aquarius and Libra?

But who knows about those Aquarius people. LOL!

I wouldn't mind if Edwards named Pat Buchanan to head a task force on Immigration, but surely you jest about the VP selection bit.

...material over the last few years, um, I gotta say - would that they actually WERE one of those globalist societies. We all could do a lot worse (and are).

Yeah, sadly this no longer narrows the field much. America - for that matter, the world - would arguably be in a better position today if the White House had simply been left vacant for the last few years and the bueraucracy left to run on autopilot.

but I am supporting Ron Paul. He wasn't on your list.

Paul probably has no chance to win, but he exposes those that claim to be small government conservatives as liars and may have an effect similar to that Ross Perot did in the election between Bush I and Clinton.

Among the Democrats, Kucinich is another that can't win, but he exposes the hyprocrisy of other Dems suggesting they are the opposition when they are part of the problem.

Gore is immensely qualified. I supported him in the first race against W. But it irks me that he won't come out and say he wants to be president. Like he's expecting the world to beg him to run.

Perot pulled that crap when he had a chance to win in his first run and never recovered.

Newsweek
has it quite a bit different than Agonists do.

Hillary and Rudy.

It's obvious to me that blaming Republicans without grabbing the reins and stopping bush is a failed political policy. Might lead voters to believe there's no real difference between the two parties.

Here's what scares me.

Bush attacks and decimates Iran, seals off the Straight of Hormuz, things keep percolating right along. The oil keeps flowing, American people continue to slumber through life, consuming, and worldwide anger against us continues to build.

The longer this horrible policy is allowed to go, the worse the fall when it comes and it will come.

because The Agonist has an established track record on being clueless in politics.

As the Newsweek poll says, the battle will be between Obama and Clinton.
Obama is a good politician like Lieberman, but unexperienced in organizing federal campaigns. Clinton is supported and trained by the dynasty.

And I have got no clue what's inside Obama. Maybe I'll find out after his first term.

what will you promise to eat? Let's get this in writing now.

Can't read polls eh? It wasn't a poll on who Agonistas thought was going to win. It was a poll on who they wanted to win.

And it replicates what your find in netroots liberal polls everyhwere.
