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.

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.

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

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.
