Washco Dems Politi-Poll

Question: Future-former Senator Gordon Smith is all over the map on issues. What is your favorite Smith flip-flop?:

Opposed drilling in ANWR in 2002, then supported drilling in 2005 & 2006.

Opposed Medicare drug price negotiation twice, then voted for it. (OK that's a good thing, but the vote failed to pass.)

Opposed increasing Minimum Wage SIX times before voting for it in 2007, with re-election time approaching.

Voted for invasion of Iraq and more than 20 times for war funding, even after denouncing the war in Dec 2006.

Opposed the Climate Security Act in 2003 & 2005, finally supporting it in 2008, an election year.

Consistent opposition to any universal health care plan, then supporting Sen Ron Wyden's plan. Is it an election year?

Presents himself as a moderate, but historically votes with Bush and the R party line over 90% of the time.

OK, he stuck to his guns supporting both bankruptcy bills, gay marriage ban, tax breaks for big oil, CAFTA, FISA, voter ID...

Question: The Democratic Presidential nomination seems like it will never end. How would you like to see it resolved?

Submitted by Glen_Geller on May 5, 2008 - 5:33pm.

It should end as soon as the total number of delegates lead to a decisive victory for one candidate.

24% (15 votes)

It should go on until every state has voted, even if those votes don't really count.

24% (15 votes)

The numerically inferior candidate should bow out gracefully now and help the winner defeat the Republican nominee.

22% (14 votes)

The numerically superior candidate should declare victory now and ask the opponent to bow out.

0% (0 votes)

The votes in Florida & Michigan should be counted and added to the current scores.

8% (5 votes)

Whatever the outcome, the DNC really needs to find a better process for next time.

17% (11 votes)

The Denver Surprise: Dennis Kucinich wins the Democratic nomination!

5% (3 votes)

Total votes: 63

Something's happening here!!

Wow, as of 2:40 PM Monday 5/19, we had 62 votes, smashing the previous record of 50 votes. I know several of our friends at KPOJ vote, and a few of our Legislators too, and it's very staisfying to see the increase in traffic everywhere on the site.

Thanks Sheilah for catching that. I have corrected the poll with Florida and Michigan.
Ohio is off the hook - for now.

Michigan or Ohio?

Submitted by bobmmay on May 11, 2008 - 11:05am.

Hi Sheilah,

You are correct. I was thinking how the Republicans stole Ohio in 2004 and my mind disconnected for a moment. Thanks for catching that.

Hi,
Just curious. In your poll, you questioned whether Florida and Ohio's votes should be counted. I thought it was Florida and Michigan or are they having problems in the Ohio voting that I wasn't aware of.

Thank you,
Sheilah

Glen, another great survey! And, no, I don't sit at my computer waiting for the next survey to come out.

The voters of Florida and Ohio need some way to save face. The state parties screwed up, not the voters. However, counting their primary votes is not a valid option. Only Hillary campaigned in Florida. Obama and Edwards took their names off the Ohio ballot (and presumably did not campaign). There is no way that the current votes would be valid for a fair fight.

Although it is somewhat of a token gesture, it would be appropriate to split the elected delegates down the middle so that the total votes would be the same. Hopefully, the super (non-elected) delegates will vote their conscience, and not based on all the bribes they are getting from both sides.
