And why, this election round, is YOUchoose not allowing their party voices. Let's call it what it is: THEYchoose.

Where would the 13% of Clinton supporters and the 9% of Obama supporters, who would not decide to vote for one of the two big parties, cast their votes???

These are valuable numbers whose significance is not revealed.

Would they add to the support for third party candidates? Would they stay home?

Why is the report so locked into the two-party bubble?

Could someone please explain to me the logic behind a disgruntled Hillary supporter then moving on to vote for McCain...that just makes NO sense at all.

Oh...and btw:

Obama = CFR

Hillary = CFR

McCain = CFR

Conclusion = joke's on us...we're all screwed (again).

or maybe it didn't pass... hmm... alright.. well, I don't believe he "lied". That'd be a stupid thing to lie about. I'm thinking he misspoke - that happens sometimes

[winterbird85]

oh, okay I found where he said that... well I just looked it up and yes it failed the first time through. then he had to compromise *gasp* with republicans to get it passed. still, he DID get it passed. there's no lie.

"Senator Obama worked with Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) to introduce comprehensive chemical plant security legislation that would establish a clear set of federal regulations that all plants must follow" - it doesn't say he passed it, it says he introduced it.

They all lie. But It's what they lie about that counts.

Considering Hillary is republican light the poll results aren't surprising. That said, Obama is going to continue to lead in delegate count all the way up to the convention. It's simply a matter of maths.

I am also an Obama supporter. I would have to grit my teeth to vote for Clinton, but I would do it to help keep McCain out of the oval office. McCain as president is a terrifying prospect. I do not understand those who will not vote for Obama or Clinton if one or the other is nominated. Their policies are not interchangeable with McCain's. For Democrats to not vote because their favorite was not nominated is giving McCain carte blanche to continue on the road we are already on.
