I don't see either as being choices

 

[mathwonk]

yes, they seem to have been removed. shouldn't we have write ins?

Huntsman doesn't get enough credit for his experience.

That wouldn't allow you to vote again, it will still register that you've voted. The only changes are the addition of Santorm and Huntsman, so unless you want to change your vote to them, it doesn't matter.

That's what I mean, no one who already voted can add a vote for either of them so what good is adding their names. While I wouldn't give Santorum a job at Mickey D's, I wouldn't be heading for the hills if it was Huntsman. I would probably give him a vote.

It won't let me reset it, so why not start a new thread Poll 2?

How do you figure the vote got split when you can choose as many as you want?

Because there were multiple Republicans to choose from, not everyone who chose republican chose all republicans. That doesn't necessarily mean they wouldn't prefer one republican they didn't choose over Obama who they also didn't choose.

Er...so now the poll says I voted for Paul, which I certainly did not.

It says I voted for Romney. The vote count is correct because I moved the count to match the candidate, but as you move names, the poll still shows the original *position* the person you voted for was in. The poll software is sucky.

I'd vote for Alan Simpson, but he's not running.

The actual interview is longer. I generally agree with Simpson.

(Unfortunately there is an ad with that video).

Santorum still at zero, lol. Would I be out of line wishing one of his kids had a terminal illness that only the stem cell therapy he is against could cure?

edit: On second thought I'm sure there are some people who will be outraged by that statement. So I will rebut the outrage right now. Who better to need it if not the child of someone who is against it? My kid when I am for stem cell research?

I see Paul is getting some votes. I like his so-called isolationist and anti-war views. If you've read Sun Tzu it's not hard to see what China is doing and will do to us. You can bet that most of the idiots who either run or want to run this country haven't read it. And if there are people who have read it you can bet they aren't republican hawks.

Hey I don't want to hear it...it says I voted for Santorum!

PS I absolutely did not!
