Sign up to NOT vote for Hillary...

Hi everyone,

Its my personal opinion that Hillary Clinton will say/do pretty much anything to win the Democratic nomination. And, of course, I am entitled to my opinion. Generally, I find the things she says and does disingenuous. The idea that she earned $109,000,000 over the last 6 years (not counting 2007 as she hasn't filed her return yet) makes me question her ability to understand the plight of the blue collar worker. Part of me believes that she relies on the hope that that particular section of the population doesn't watch the news or read the papers, and that some of the underhanded and contradictory things she says and does will be unnoticed by the same population that she's trying to win the respect and vote of. So... as a show of support to this end (and I've never actually been political in my life), I've created (removed by moderator)

Check it out. If you agree, please sign up. Otherwise, no one is twisting your arm. Thanks for listening!

How to get to the supers

Hi,

Great question. The idea is that provided we don't have a weak showing (like 20 people signed it), we will send the link out and post to as many of the pertinent sites and super contact infos as we have publicly available. Who knows? Maybe press will get a hold of this. Regardless, I think that even if we have a decent number, we'll pass it along and they can watch the number grow. If you have any additional suggestions, I'm definitely open to them!

I think this is a bad idea.

Think about what you're doing strategically (if your idea is to get Obama collected). If you start something like this, what do you think the response from Clinton supporters will be?

The smartest thing to do is to put Clinton in a Huckabee position where she loses gracefully and everyone is friends at the end. Your path is the path of conflict, which leads Clinton supporters to get their revenge on Obama later.

Hi Web,

Thanks for you feeedback on the idea. Although it doesn't agree with my own, I do sincerely appreciate the comments. My intention isn't to create conflict, although to your point, it may indirectly do so to those that would take offense to this polling. And really that's what it is. A poll. If you look at it in a different way, its not any different than any other poll currently being taken regarding who might win in a General Election between Obama v McCain or Clinton v McCain. Just a more drilled down version with the opportunity for people to be heard specifically on this topic. I would never have come up with this idea except for a friend of mine saying that he would vote for Obama but not Clinton and would rather vote for McCain than Clinton. Oddly enough - he's a hard-core republican. So it led me to thinking - exactly how many people have that sentiment. Anyway, I still think it would be very interesting to see what the population thinks in this regard. Don't you agree?

OK, so it's not a poll then. You are soliciting people to say that they will not vote for Clinton, which will prompt Hillary people to do the same thing against Obama.

That's will transform Hillary voters into McCain voters. You will see.
