Who will you vote for in 2016?

[PJ]

I just am curious about everyone's opinions. Let me know. By the way, mine's Clinton, with Hickenlooper and Gillibrand as backups.

[PJ]

10 minutes after poll started, Clinton winning with a whopping 2 votes. C'mon people, vote! (I'm a little impatient if you didn't notice)

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

If I vote for President at all, I will likely vote Green, although I could possibly see myself voting for the Justice Party candidate instead.

[Donerail]

[1]Schweitzer
[2]Hickenlooper
[3]Paul
[4]Third party I guess, or generic R.

These Dems are pretty awful.

[TNF]

[1] Sherrod Brown

[RogueBeaver]

[1] Paul Ryan
[2] Bobby Jindal

[Keystone Phil]

1) Rick Santorum
2) Chris Christie
3) Marco Rubio

[Thomas D]

O'Malley. Home state loyalty and all that jazz.

[windjammer]

Clinton, I supported her in 2008 and I will do the same thing in 2016!

[BluegrassBlueVote]

1. Hillary
2. Cuomo
3. Gillibrand

Unenthusiastic about everyone else, although I'm a Christie fan.

[PJ]

[1]Schweitzer
[2]Hickenlooper
[3]Paul
[4]Third party I guess, or generic R.

These Dems are pretty awful.

I just picked the ones who are most likely to run at this point in my opinion

[PJ]

[1] Paul Ryan
[2] Bobby Jindal

Then why are there no votes for Ryan or Jindal?

[PJ]

[1] Sherrod Brown

I like him too but he doesn't seem like a front runner at this point. That doesn't mean he won't run though.

[PJ]

Day 2 report: Clinton still has a huge lead with 12 votes, the nearest being other D, with 4. (O'malley and Brown have been mentioned as other D.)  A 3 way tie for 3rd is in between Gillibrand, the leading republican Christie, and a 3rd party candidate, each with 2 votes. (Green and Justice have been mentioned for 3rd party.) The tie for 4th is in between dems Biden and Schweitzer, and reps Paul and Santorum, each with 1 vote. Still with 0 votes are Cuomo, Hickenlooper, Rubio, Ryan, Jindal, and Other R.

The rest... eh.

[Frozen Sky Ever Why]

Clinton or Gillibrand. Schweitzer and Cuomo are not Democrats.

[BluegrassBlueVote]

Clinton or Gillibrand. Schweitzer and Cuomo are not Democrats.

DINOs DINOs DINOs!!!

They both absolutely are Democrats.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

[1] Rand Paul
[2]Brian Schweitzer

[PJ]

I wouldn't go so far as to say they are not democrats, but they are not liberal. Cuomo cut funding to Homeless youth organiztion and Schweitzer is anti-gun control.

[Donerail]

Schweitzer is anti-gun control.

Which makes him a FF. Democrats need to realize they can't pretend to support the Bill of Rights and just ignore one of them.

Clinton: Ew no. Iraq et al.
Biden: Ew no. Patriot Act, anybody?
Cuomo: If I wanted what Cuomo was selling I'd just vote for a Republican.
Gillibrand: PIPA support was disappointing. Unsure on her position on guns - it was promising in the House, but her Senate tenure hasn't been as great. Pro-NDAA & pro-Patriot Act and pro-FISA AMendments and pro-DP too. Pretty bad on Iraq too, and very pro-Israel. Might vote for her if the R is really bad, but certainly not a good choice.
Hickenlooper: I like his green-ness, though his gun control stuff is irritating. He also opposed the marijuana initiative, though he gets points for being willing to implement it at least.
Schweitzer: What the Dems should be. Yes.
Brown: Pro-NDAA and pro-PIPA, but pretty solid other than that.
O'Malley: Pretty FF guy. Can't really find much to criticize.


Rubio: Too rightwing. Anti-gay, anti-Roe, pro-PATRIOT Act, etc. At least he's pro-gun.
Christie: Eurgh, awful on education. Pro-medical marijuana at least, and at least supports civil unions. However - he has a brain. That's more than can be said for several other Rs. Maybe.
Paul: What the Rs should be. Yes.
Ryan: Bleh? Pretty awful on education. Anti-gay too and wants to ban flagburning. Anti-SOPA though - there's some hope there. Pretty pro-war too.
Santorum: No.
Jindal: One of my litmus tests is don't be a stupid. Jindal fails. Sorry creationists.
Walker: Bleh-ish position on education. Not my favorite option.

[TDAS04]

1. Clinton
2. Schweitzer
3. Biden

[PJ]

Schweitzer isn't that bad. I like his education and alternative energy policies. And he is about as liberal as MT's ever going to get. Does anyone know Schweitzer's position on Universal Backgound Checks? I'm pretty sure he is against banning semi-auotmatics.

Rand Paul is a f*****g extremist! He's not a libertarian, he's against drugs, gay marriage, he's pro-life... He wants to destroy government system. I dont understand why he's so loved by the libertarians because he isn't a libertarian, he's a right-wing extremist, a constitutionnalist!
