October 2011 IAL Member Poll: Who Do You Lean Toward As A Primary Candidate?
« on: October 07, 2011, 02:03:20 AM »
Since the field is pretty much set in stone now I think it would be constructive to know how are members are leaning at this point.

Poll will expire in two days. Results will be viewable after poll expires. You may not change your vote so give it some thought.

You may comment however you see fit but I think it would be better to keep your vote to yourself until after the poll expires. After the poll closes feel free to go nuts.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

A secret ballot!  I like it!  It's so American, and so non-unionista!

Okay, five of you have voted. Let's get the rest of you on the record. I will release the results early if the participation is near complete.

How can anyone participate in a political forum and not vote?
Being Friday and also many folks come by once a day maybe
cut time a little slack to allow them to vote.  If one does not
vote here can he be expected to vote in the election?

No "none of the above option"?

I did vote earlier and considered that we were talking primary.
When the results are in, I'll disclose who and why

OK, I have a few minutes between flights so I voted. Not giving anything away but I'm betting that mine will be a sole vote. I'll explain later.

Ten members have voted as of right now. If we can get five or six more I will open the poll results early.

"None of the above" seemed inappropriate given that no one else is likely to enter the primary at this point.

Not participating in the poll would work about the same way, I expect.

We have been through quite a few moronic debates, witnessed gaffes, listened to policy statements and had time to get a feel for the candidates. You can always change your mind later. I will do another poll next month so if things change you can throw your support in another direction at that point.

This poll will be "un-stickyed" after the poll is concluded.

What?

Because there's a difference between an election and a meaningless internet poll.

How dare you? This is no meaningless internet poll, this is an official IAL members poll,
highly prized and extremely significant.

The official audited vote totals of this poll will be turned over to the RNC with a list of our demands.

Besides which it's designed to draw you out into the open... ::dueling::

Seriously, I know that I am assessing and reassessing as we go forward and know that, although we have had candidate discussions, I for one am interested to see how our opinions are evolving.

Cain literally 9 to 1 over Bachmann, Gingrich and Paul (someone needs to fess up over that one).

9 to 2 over Perry.

Okay, this was pretty much the way that I expected it would be. Just wanted to know.
