Whom would you vote for right now among the Republican candidates?
 
Hope this is not too political a question. Just trying to get a feel about which Republican politician TOTVers like.

At the moment I like Rick Santorum among the Republicans. Not sure why though.

Shouldn't this be under the Political link? Just saying......

I did not see a poll option under the political section.

If it does not get ugly with the opinions, this would seem to be an appropriate area.

It is a poll not a free-for-all like with many of the arguments on the political forum.

Also, many TOTVers do not subscribe to the political forum; so, the results would be quite skewed if only those people were voting.

None of the above

None of them.

tough to start polls
 
maybe two more choices which are subtly different?

+ none of the above
+ not voting republican

This cannot be anything but a Political Post. It does not belong in this section and will be sent to the proper area or be deleted by Admin is my guess.

I agree that I like Santorum, though.

Just my opinion, but I do not think this has to be in political. It only needs to go there if folks start trying to justify their positions. That could happen of course, but it does not have to.....

I concur. Maybe just look at this as some sort of mini historical poll, or something...

Other suggested sub-categories:

+ I'm for (fill in the blank) but I don't know why

+ ABO

I do not think that this thread is for the hard core political thread subscribers. Some of us know how the political subscribers feel. Let's try and get an idea for how the other TOTV subscribers feel.

It is a simple poll to ask the members of TOTV which Republican runner they would pick.

There are no other choices.

It would be nice if we try and keep the political comments to a minimum and non-political so it does not get put into the Political forum.

Thanks,
Z

So far, so good.

jebartle 03-06-2012 01:20 PM
right now
 
none of them

The first person who stated "none of the above" made this political.

MOVE IT

They voiced an opinion about the presidential election.

I stayed off this forum for almost a year when they had political mixed in with everything else. Time to leave again.

There is little or no discussion on this poll. I did not put in an option for "None of the above". My mistake.

wendyquat 03-06-2012 02:11 PM
Not happy with either choice! But I will vote!

I agree with your ABO.

Sorry, but no matter how you frame it, the topic (not the way people feel about it) is political.

Some candidates are still "waiting in the wings", Mike Bloomberg and Jeb Bush come to mind.
I don't think it is political to have a favorite that is not mentioned in this poll.
So, I also say; None of the above. :undecided:

Taltarzac725 03-06-2012 04:30 PM
Thought it would be interesting to have a poll on Republicans on Super Tuesday.

Great idea. Thanks for posting. :gc:

Ron Paul has a lot going for him and I he should be the candidate for the Red voters.

You are welcome.

Got a pretty good response with the poll.

Since this is a political thread we will close this. If you would like to start a new one in the political section that would be more appropriate.
