vague political musings
Jan. 27th, 2007 08:15 pmI was debating with a friend the other day about whether the Democratic party was more likely to nominate Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton as the Democratic presidential candidate for 2008, which inspired the following poll.
[Poll #915428]
If you're curious, I think Obama's the more likely of the two as his grassroots campaign is starting to gather steam among the youth vote, and his moderate stance has popular appeal to the independents and centrists fed up with the self-absorbed politics of the two main parties. Clinton seems too much of a controversial figure - people either love or hate her. To be honest though, I really have no good sense of Obama's stance on most issues; I'm just going off general impressions. I'm registered with no political party.
( And now for a stupid but vaguely entertaining quiz thing )
