Fantastic! Sounds like a plan!

Thanks for putting a cool poll up. It’s nice to be in a poll for once :P

The unspoken reason. “Please run; here’s why.”

P.S. Please run; here’s why.

BTW, I got an email from Mark Noonan (GOPBloggers.com):

we suspected it might happen, but after the massive importuning of Paul supporters, we decided that we’d put him in the poll this time. If we find that it is Paul spamming, then we’ll take appropriate action.

I’m certain he means pro-Paul spamming, not that it would be ordered by Congressman Paul himself, in case anyone thinks it reads that way.

First rounds on me. :-)

Hmm, where to go, where to go, where to go…

tickleddragon, you’ll get a seat at the head table, right next to csdeven.

Hey, can I be invited to that too. I think CS and I owe each other drinks too. ;)

If we win, all of HA is invited, including the trolls. San Diego is beautiful at any time in the year.

I agree about Huckabee. Even though his polling numbers aren’t there, I consider him a top tier candidate, replacing McCain, who is off my list of acceptable candidates. He’s just wearing thin with this immigration deal and his stance on expanded questioning of terror suspects.

But, like always, whoever can beat the leading dem will get my vote for the nomination.

doesn’t unacceptable mean that you wouldn’t vote for them, even if they were the nominee? I won’t vote for McCain (self-serving jerk) or Guliani (actaully a leftist except defense/law and order). If one of them gets it, I won’t be voting next year.

Freelancer, csdeven will then fly to San Diego and we’ll wine and dine him/her, and all will be forgiven :)

The day after the nomination, all will be forgiven.

Cheers!

Of course the poll itself isn’t reality, especially now that the Paul folks are gaming it. I see at last snapshot that only 29 respondents who didn’t mark him their first choice consider him acceptable. Try as they might, this comes through.

I have high hopes for Fred. That doesn’t mean that I’ll accept this poll blindly.

McCain 532 acceptable / 2883 unacceptable
Paul 507 acceptable / 2795 unacceptable

That’s 85% voting against in both cases.

Those -61.1% and -59.5% numbers are gotten by dividing the net difference between acceptable and unacceptable numbers into the total number of responses. So if a candidate had 50% for both acceptable/unacceptable (Tancredo is close to that), that result would be a zero. That result is weak for analytical purposes. Plus it doesn’t account for people who chose not to respond one way or the other to that candidate.

With around 1% support in real polls, I don’t see his being included as worth the hassle.

McCain -2351 -61.1%
Paul -2288 -59.5%
