Presidential poll update
In the VFR election poll, with 42 readers responding so far, I am fascinated by their individual choices, their unique hierarchies of like and dislike. For example, there is a respondent who votes the straight Republican ticket with just two exceptions: in a Huckabee vs. Clinton race he votes for Clinton, and in a Huckabee vs. Obama race he votes for “None.” Meaning that he dislikes Huckabee so much that instead of simply not voting he would rather vote for the Democrat Clinton than Huck; yet at the same time he dislikes Obama so much that he will vote for neither Huck nor Obama. Alongside many individual variations, two common patterns have emerged. The second most popular is to vote the straight Republican ticket in all ten races. The most popular pattern is to vote for Romney and Thompson, and “None” for the rest of the Republicans. I’ll be leaving the poll up for a couple of days before I add up the results.
By the way, I haven’t responded yet myself. I am genuinely torn about what to do. Join the fun. Maybe you’ll help me decide. Email entry |
