August Straw Poll: Your choice today (1 of 6)

[OP_Carl]

If the election were today, who would you select for pres?

[Blubayou]

I am not happy about voting for anyone and have considered not voting at all.

[MissBrattified]

Oh, sorry...I misread the poll--it says, "If the election were today, who's President?" I thought that meant who would be elected--not who I would personally vote for.

Is it possible for ADMIN to delete my vote so I can vote again?

[Jermyn Davidson]

Today, I voted for OBAMA, but I may change my mind and vote my party on the actual election day.

I really, really wish the Repubs had put someone else up there.

You and 2 out of 3 in the Republican coalition! McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform seems to be working its true intended goal. Whoever gets cozy with the media becomes the candidate. Of course, with a real leftist in the running, McCain is no longer their darling, and the media has left McCain in a lurch and flocked to Obama the Messiah. I wonder if McCain's special law will allow him to re-finance his campaign as well?

It's pretty tough to balance a party of 62 million on a one-legged stool, huh?

So do I but WHO?????? Pat Buchanan? Newt Gingrich??? Who is there?

I had been really hoping at one point that Condoleeza Rice would throw her hat in the ring, but she did not do that great of a job as Secretary of state and I am sure she knew that that would rise up to haunt her repeatedly in the debates and campaign.

But that again leaves us with a big question, Who does the Republican Party have that could assume the mantel of leadership. I might have voted for Romney, certainly, no let me rephrase that < CERTAINLY> would have prefferred him over McCain, could not abide the Baptist smarmy guy, (Is that terrible, I can't even remember his name right now! THAT'S BAD!)

The only reason I would NOT have voted Romney would be if I gave in to the Conspiracy theory part of my nature that I try to keep locked up in the dungeon!

George Allen.

I think that's his name, I'm not sure. The guy who was caught in that ever-so-dreadfully-serious "Macaca scandal." Many had him pegged as serious conservative presidential material.

Fred Thompson was my heartthrob - and then he broke my heart!

Huckabee? Yeah, me too. Once I got beyond the "Baptist Preacher Credentials," I found him to be seriously wanting.

I think Romney would make a far better pres than JMcC, HRC, or BHO. But I must confess to retaining some trust issues with him.

So sorry. There was a limit to the number of characters I could enter into that field. You're right, it is a little ambiguous. Hopefully the term "straw poll" will help others.

This is an anonymous poll asking individual members to show who they would select for president if the election were today. Straw polls such as this, when conducted before and after selection of running mates, can show whether a candidate's veep selection has helped or hurt.

You have given me an idea, though . . .

Send me your vote changes and I can manually make the change for you.

I tweaked the question a bit.
