April Poll

[MHS2002]

Both will have a problem with what I suspect is going to be a major issue in 2008: illegal immigration.

Its a good thing Warner is on the right side of this issue.  He recently signed a measure that denies illegal aliens public benefits, including access to Medicaid, welfare and local health care services.

I was going to say, good move by Warner. Carl, what problems do you think Allen would have with immigration issues?

[CARLHAYDEN]

The Republicans are really badly split on immigration.

Wall Street favors pretty much favors unlimited immigrations whereas Main Street favors stopping illegal immigration and expelling illegal immigrants.

While Main Street has the voters, Wall Street has the money.

So far Bush has really antagonized many in the border states which his amnesty proposal (which he chooses to not call amnesty).

Bush's failure to beef up border security, even though authorized by Congress is also angering many,

If the Democrats had half a brain they would take advantage of this by comming together and denouncing illegal immigration.  (I wont hold my breath, though.)

[Notre Dame rules!]

It's interesting that neither of the most feared candidates, Bayh or McCain, are top tier candidates within their respective parties.

The Senator in Bayh scares me off, otherwise he's great. McCain isn't conservative or liberal enough to satisfy the Republicans, plus he's a Senator.

[Notre Dame rules!]

So, the frontrunners on this forum are a little known Senator from WI, and an even lesser  known Gov from SC.

A few weeks ago it was a little known Governor from CO and a flat senator from IN.

Interestingly enough, Hillary Clinton came close to this about a month ago.

[Democratic Hawk]

1) Evan Bayh
2) Mark Sanford

Democrats

1. Whom do you support for the Democratic Nomination in 2008?
2. Which Republican would you most want to NOT get the Republican Nomination in 2008?

1.  Gephardt, but realistically, Edwards.
2.  Frist--b/c I think he can win.  Really. 
But out of fear b/c of his/her regime if he/she wins: Newt Gingrich.

[Joe Republic]

Can I vote in this, or is it strictly Dems and Reps only?  Heck, it's probably too late anyway.

[Gabu]

1. Evan Bayh
2. Mark Sanford

You'll have to pick one of the major parties. I let polls be open until Friday anyhow.

[Defarge]

1)  Evan Bayh.  Take back the White House!
2)  John McCain

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

1) John Edwards- I love his One America platform and he's very likable

2) John McCain- like the guy, but I have a feeling any Republican wont be much different than Dumbya

[Akno21]

Results Friday afternoon, hopefully.

FINAL APRIL POLL RESULTS

FINAL APRIL POLL RESULTS

Edwards' popularity surprises me a little, though I'm glad to see Feingold doing so well. However, Warner disappoints me.

I'm not too worried about McCain, because if he got the GOP's nomination, it would mark a much-needed return to moderation.

Can't say much about the Republicans but primaries and fears don't really parallel each other.

[South Park Republican]

I would still have to say

1. George Allen
2. Mark Warner

Do you get thee feeling thatt 2008 might put Virginia in play?

[Moooooo]

Do you get thee feeling thatt 2008 might put Virginia in play?

Id say Virginia will be out of reach for the Democrats in 2008.  Unless, Warner is the Democratic nominee and the Republicans nominate someone like Romney or Pataki, which is highly unlikely.

It was 53-45 with Kerry as the Democratic candidate. If we nominate anyone better (not real hard), doesn't have to be Warner, just not Hillary or Feingold, and it probably swings two points. If the state is then 51-47, at least the GOP will be forced to spend valuable money there.

Nominating Hillary or Feingold won't swing Virginia two points methinks.

He said "just not Hillary or Feingold."

Oops. missed the "non" part.

Good work Akno.  I'll be interested to see how things change over time.
