This is the result of my informal poll. Those casting votes were not asked,if they were eligible to vote. I did not ask if they were registered voters. I did not limit voters to a single vote. I did not ask for race, age, gender data. I did not ask if voters were independent, republican or democrat.
I had only two questions:
One was to determine which candidate from the Democratic Party would readers of my blog pick. And from these readers what winning combination of selected pairing would the readers pick to represent the Democratic Party.
1. Who would you vote for to appear on the Democratic Ticket for President of the United States of America? Obama came in with the highest percentage. Pelosi the spoiler came in second. Gore came in third. Clinton came in fourth and Edward last.
Bloggers who read my blog leaned more toward Obama in the race. Although Gore is not a nominee, he came in third. The majority of the votes casted were for a male. However, women would get some votes, but Clinton was not their favorite female pick. Once again those who selected a woman voted favorably for the woman who was not the nominee, Pelosi.
Hilliary Clinton 13% 10
Al Gore 17% 13
Barack Obama 31% 23
Nancy Pelosi 29% 22
John Edwards 9% 7
There was a total of 75 votes casted on the blog. I would suggest that Obama has a greater chance of winning the nomination if their are a number of others running against Clinton. However, if the race was just between Clinton and Obama, Clinton would capture more votes.
2. Winning Democratic Ticket
Gore and Edwards came in first. Edwards and Obama came in second. Obama and Clinton came in third. Gore and Clinton came in fourth and Edwards and Clinton came in fifth. Obama and Pelosi was the spoiler and came in last.
Gore carries the pairing. Gore received votes in all pairing. Both Gore and Edwards were the favorite. However, Edward was unable to get any votes when paired with Clinton. However, Obama was able to get vote in each of his pairing. Obama even received votes when paired with Clinton. The strongest pairing did not occur and that would have been Gore and Obama in this poll. In the pair of candidates Obama has a better chance with a male candidate rather than a female running mate.
Obama/Clinton 18% 9
Edwards/Clinton 0% 0
Gore/Edwards 37% 18
Gore/Clinton 12% 6
Edwards/Obama 27% 13
Obama/Pelosi 6% 3
There was a total of 49 votes.
