Poll: Democrat candidates for President

It's going to be between Dean, Clark, and Kerry. I think the rest are not in contention for pres, as far as I am concerned. Maybe VP.
Gephardt will be the nominee.
As far as my choice goes.....I would say it's a tie between Clark and Gephardt.

I am fairly impressed with Clark and his candor. I saw that first debate briefly on CSPAN the other day and Clark was talking about the need to balance the budget and reduce the national DEBT. Also, I thought he looked very comfortable in a town hall meeting he held in New Hampshire the other day talking about his ideas. I simply *cannot believe* 
that a four star general can be progressive on social issues! He would be my first choice. Dean would also be acceptable.

I've been out of town for the weekend. Has Clark registered as a Democrat in Arkansas yet? As for Kerry, he voted to give the President the power to go to war whenever the Pres wanted to. I will not vote for a Democrat that did that. And Lieberman is on that list.

I'm a Libertarian so my vote doesn't count for purposes of this poll. Joe Lieberman would make a fine if unexciting President, which I can't comfortably say for most of the others on the list. I honestly wish a true moderate of the caliber of a Sam Nunn was running this go around to keep the rest of the field honest and stop them from pandering to the lowest common denominator of their base. As it stands now the winner of the primary will have been pulled so far left that I'm not sure they can realistically compete with Bush.
Updated Poll to edit for Graham's announcement of quiting his run. He didn't have any votes on this poll anyway.

I like Sam Nunn as well. Max Cleland was also a fine senator from Georgia. Alas the GA delegation has gone to poop. Curiously, they were elected by pandering to the base instincts of the right. It looks like the spawn of Nunn may make a run if Andrew Young declines.
Why do you think none have declared their candidacy? And do you agree with that?
BTW - if it is "Republican" it is also "Democratic."
Do you understand what "incumbency" means? How many "Democrats" tried to run in '96?
BTW - not it is not. It is Republican and Democrat.

I'm probably going to vote Republican in the next election (it really depends on what happens between now and then though). If not, then Lieberman would be my # 1 man (although he tried to regulate the video gaming industry... grr)
I honestly don't know much about the other candidates though.

I suppose the point I'm getting at is, why would a Bush supporter who claims none of the Democratic candidates can beat Bush post a poll about the Democratic candidate? I don't trust a partisan Republic polling this topic. Especially if he's a Limpbaugh listener.
And again, if it's "Republican" it's "Democratic." If it's "Democrat" it's "Republic."
