POLL: IN MATCH-UP BETWEEN HILLARY AND KERRY, MOST DEMOCRATS WOULD CHOOSE SUICIDE Survey Spells Trouble for Dems, Pollster Says
A new survey of Democratic voters indicates that in a hypothetical match-up between Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and former presidential nominee John Kerry, most Democrats would choose suicide over either candidate.
The poll, conducted by the University of Minnesota's Opinion Research Institute, shows Mr. Kerry drawing 21%, Sen. Clinton 18%, and various forms of suicide 61%.
"Throwing yourself in front of a speeding city bus" was the most popular means of suicide at 22%, with "jumping off the roof of a really tall building or bridge" coming in second at 17%.
According to pollster Rockwell Pritchard, the surging popularity of suicide bodes ill for both Sen. Clinton and Sen. Kerry as potential presidential candidates in 2008.
"It's still very early, but even at this stage of the game the prospect of one of those two being nominated shouldn't be making Democrats want to kill themselves in these numbers," Mr. Pritchard said.
Reached at his home in Massachusetts, Sen. Kerry pointed out that while he do as well as suicide, he still polled higher than Sen. Clinton, adding, "That's better than a sharp stick in the eye."
But Mr. Pritchard was quick to throw cold water on Mr. Kerry's upbeat assessment: "In a head-to-head match-up, a sharp stick in the eye beats Sen. Kerry by a two-to-one margin."
Elsewhere, at his confirmation hearings yesterday, Attorney General nominee Alberto Gonzales said, "You call this an interrogation? Where the heck are the hoods?"
Hmmm...to avoid stooping to the level of the DUers, I won't comment.
Well, it fits, too: suicide by jumping in front of a city bus requires the government being involved in your demise. That's typical of Democrats.
Sounds about right ;-)
That makes you want to rethink your whole life pattern.
An Excellent Choice!
LOL… Excellent!
"Throwing yourself in front of a speeding city bus" was the most popular means of suicide at 22%
Liberals to the very end though, using a mass transit city bus to end it all.
Oh come on, it's a riot!
LOL!
Now if only the RATs had the guts to put their money where their mouths are.
I kinda thought they'd go for light rail.

QUICK, GET MY BROKER ON THE PHONE!
BUY ALL POSSIBLE KOOL-AID STOCK!
Cool. Bring'em on and pass the popcorn. That sounds entertaining and productive.
(Except I think their real answer to the choice is "John who?")

Can you imagine the mass hysteria if you added Algore and the "Breck Girl" to the mix?
Lines would form for cyanide with a Kool-Aid chaser!
LOL!
