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)

[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.

[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.

Clinton or Gillibrand. Schweitzer and Cuomo are not Democrats.

DINOs DINOs DINOs!!!

They both absolutely are Democrats.

[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.

[PJ]

Is cutting funding to a homeless youth organization fiscally conservative?

Cuomo isn't on the record for advocating anything that would be contentious in a Democratic primary like Schweitzer and gun control. He's continuously toed the line in his governance as a Clinton-esque centrist, but he wouldn't campaign on anything fiscally conservative. The left would be right to point to his record, but that's nowhere near the same problem as running for the nomination as, say, Huntman's views on climate change or Brian Sandoval and abortion.

Cuomo is just going to try and paint himself as Slick Willy's protege.

[PJ]

I'm not saying Cuomo would not win the nomination because of the funding cuts, I'm saying those are attributes that would be considered conservative rather than liberal.

Day 3 report: Hillary Clinton still leading with a giant margin. She has 35 votes, and Chris Christie, the best performing republican, has 9. (Christie is in 2nd.) Rising from 1 vote to 7 is Rand Paul in 3rd. 4th is Dem Kirsten Gillibrand, with 5 votes. Other D, (Brown and O'malley have been mentioned), is 5th with 4 votes. Also, tied with Other D, is Joe Biden. 6th is Brian Schweitzer, with 3. Paul Ryan, Rick Santorum, Bobby Jindal, 3rd party (Green and Justice mentioned), Other R (Bush mentioned), are tied for 7th. Tied for 12th is Andrew Cuomo and Marco Rubio, each with 1 vote. Hickenlooper, sadly has 0.

[PJ]

Day 4 Report: Clinton still leads with 41 votes (Best dem). Far behind in 2nd, is Chris Christie with 11 votes (Best Rep). Rand Paul is 3rd with 8 votes. the 4 way tie for 4th is in between Biden, Gillibrand, Schweitzer, and Other D (O'Malley and Brown), each with 5 votes. 8th place is a 3rd party candidate, Green or Justice mentioned. 4 way tie for 9th is between reps Jindal, Santorum, Ryan, and Other R (Bush and Martinez). Tie for 13th between Cuomo and Rubio, each have 1. Hickenlooper still has 0.

[PJ]

I will be locking this poll in 12 hours. Cast your votes if you haven't already. Clinton is still leading, with Christie in 2nd.
