I'm so torn about who I would like to get the nod........LOL.

[mewzilla]

LOL. I notice they polled registered, not likely voters. And I wonder if this is the same demographic that was recently polled and found unable to name most of the candidates. Yup, I'm impressed.

So who is Holy Joe going to pick for his veep?

[areafiftyone]

I have never seen such a bunch of characters! Which Loonie Tune character would you like to pick? ;-)

[TheBigB]

LOL--Sharpton in 4th place, ahead of Edwards and Dean. I love it! Why don't they just go all the way and nominate Farrakhan?

[brewcrew]

So, only Liebermann and Kerry beat No Opinion. Funny.

Bush has a chance of defeating Hillary next year if the Conservative wackos don't turn on him like they did to his father and not fall prey to another phoney "Perot".

[LurkedLongEnough]

I kinda like "No One". Holds a message.

I think they picked Lieberman out of name recognition! They just did a poll recently and most Democreeps didn't know who the candidates were. Lieberman's name is the only one they recognize from the 2000 election!

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

If he doesn't betray conservatives like his father did, maybe they'll vote for him.

[Howlin]

Bush has a chance of defeating Hillary next year if the Conservative wackos don't turn on him like they did to his father and not fall prey to another phoney "Perot".

But they will.

And be damn proud of it, too.

LOL--Sharpton in 4th place, ahead of Edwards and Dean. I love it!

I love it as well. When you consider Mosley B will be the first one out (unless serious money is pumped her way to keep her in as a hedge agianst Sharpton), and Sharpie gets at least half her numbers...he is a serious force in the campaign.

Ultimate weeny!

[DougPowers]

I think they picked Lieberman out of name recognition!

I think you're exactly right. Many may not know who Mosely Braun or Kerry are, but most of us are all familiar with Jim Henson's creations!

[w_over_w]

This is scary . . . very scary. Do you realize that 6% of the people want either Kucinich or Moseley Braun?

Go Reverend Al--GO!

Joe Lieberman is now the leading Democrat candidate, with 20% support. Note that "no one" draws 5% in this poll. "n opinion" draws 15%. That first answer, "no one," is rather curious. Does it mean that we should do without a President, starting in 2004? Or does it mean that 5% of the identified Democrats believe that none of these Democrat is qualified to be President?

Of greater interest is the fact that the Democrats who don't like ANY Democrat (20%) are tied with those who prefer Lieberman, and ahead of all other listed Democrats. LOL.
