Not Bush Dean. I have his bumper sticker on my car. The other bumper sticker reads “Re-elect Bush because you’ve waited for Armageddon long enough!” ---

Not Bush! Maybe Clark…I am still undecided. ---

**Not Bush** Frankly, I’m disgusted by both parties but I can not in good conscience vote for a man who seriously thinks of me as a dreadful sinner and a second-class citizen. At least the Democrats _probably_ won’t be signing declarations about Marriage Protection Week. I’d consider a Republican candidate if they started drawing a bit more from the libertarian side and a bit less from the fscking Religious Right side. ---

Not Bush. I don’t really like Dean. Or Leiberman. The pack of Dems that fulfill the loony factor of any presidential primary really doesn’t require much discussion. Which leaves Edwards, Kerry, and Clark. I like Clark I guess, he seems to be reviled by both the far left and the far right, which is a-ok in my book. ---

**Not Bush.** I’d vote either Dean or Green. ---

Not Bush. If Dean gets the Democratic nomination, I’ll vote for him, unless he does something incredibly despicable (or I find out about something incredibly despicable he’s done) in the interim. I really don’t see him as unelectable, since I could see himself successfully selling himself to the country with his moderate record. If Clark is nominated, I might vote for him, but I need more information about his stands on the issues before I can decide. If neither of them are nominated, I don’t see any of the other major Democrats as being significantly different from Bush regarding issues I care about. In that case, I’m voting for whichever Libertarian is nominated, or possibly a Green. I think that giving support to a third party will have more of a beneficial effect in that case than determining who will be the next president.
