Okay, I just set up this poll on PollDaddy.com.
You can only vote once and the voting is limited by Cookie AND IP address.
So, QRZedders, cast your vote!
http://txandrx.com/primarypoll.htm
I will vote as soon as I post this...
I can't make a decision as yet.
Basically, I want someone who can beat Hillary, that is not Rudy.
Unfortunately the other issues don't matter, as the current crop of candidates isn't very good!

Here is the checkbox showing how I stopped people from voting more than once.

EDIT: And I only posted this poll here, no where else, and told no one else about it.

I would love to see a Thompson/Hunter ticket.
If Ron Paul's stance on the Military was not so messed up, I could see putting my vote in for him...

Oh, that'll work. With such a sense of refined security, you should be managing DHS.

Oh for Christ sakes, it's just a fun poll. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/Skin/Default/PostIcons/icon4.gif
Maybe I will upgrade to the next level of poll and then I can see and weed out multiple IP addresses. Yes, I think I will spring for the $20 and do just that.
EDIT: Upgrading will be of no use, as the IP data is only collected for display on Pro accounts or higher when the poll is set up.

If Fred Thompson would get off his dead a** and DO SOMETHING... ANYTHING he would get my vote in a heartbeat. Sadly, I don't see that happening anytime soon. Hunter is also a good choice for VP.

Ron Paul has more *SIGNIFICANT* issues like his basic understanding of DEMOCRACY and THE CONSTITUTION. Those are VERY BIG issues for me. Even Hillary (ugh, gawd forgive me for saying this) looks better than Ron Paul.
Excuse me. I now have to go wash my hands.

Interpreted for Ron Paul supporters: Vote early and often.

Foul!
You must now spend sixty minutes in the penalty box.
The only way Hillary would look "better" than anyone around her would be in line at an Iowa abattoir. And, even then, the point is arguable.

Daaaaang...
That's a bit harsh, Albert. I said I would wash my hands.
Note to self: Never tick off Albert.

Send this off to anyone you wish. Get it out to as many people as you can regardless of who they support. I want to get as many people voting in this poll as I can.

Now you've just issued a challenge for ballot stuffing.
But how are you going to explain that $20 internet charge to your XYL from "polldaddy"? That's just one "e" away from something utterly frightning.
I did play nice though, my vote has been recorded.

Thanks. I will leave the original poll up until everyone has had a chance to vote in the new one, then I will close it.

Ah...... #Sorry. #Bill has already been President for eight years, he can't run again.
And besides, his paddle is already on display at his presidential library, and even if it is taken off display, Monica has first whack at it.......or is it with it? # http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

Ron Paul is the only one who can do that.
Huck doesnt have a chance (the US will NOT elect a Baptist minister), Fred is not healthy enough and will get creamed in the debates against Hillary.
And none of the others will win the primary.

I don't see anyone worth voting for, except for me. But if elected, I will not run (or something like that). OTOH, that pension does look good.--

Who cares it's going to be Hillary by November of this year, ignore all the rest of the wishful thinking going around. Heck, even Rush Limbaugh knows this so it should be obvious by now http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

Not if Ron Paul gets the GOP nomination.
Besides Rush and all of these other media establishment people WANT Hillary to win because that'll give them something to bitch about for the next 4 years and their ratings will go up.

How will you explain things in about 6-10 weeks and Rue Paul is a foot note? I suppose you will be claiming some conspiracy theory or other explains why Rue Paul didn't get the vote...

Thanks for putting Alan Keyes in that poll, but I wish we could make a first and second choice. Alan has been my favorite republican candidate in recent elections.

Ron Paul may not get the GOP nomination, but he won't become a footnote.
If the GOP doesn't put up Ron, then his supporters will either sit out, write in, or vote 3rd party. Either way the GOP won't have enough support to win if Ron isn't the nominated candidate.
I just hope the GOP realizes that because I dont want Hillary.

If Hillary voted for the patriot act and Ron Paul didn't, doesn't that make her a wonderfully loyal patriot and Ron Paul a low-down, scum-of-the-Earth, America-hating traitor?

The first poll was a freebie. It was not secure enough and I had no way of telling if one IP was voting multiple times.
So I paid for the upgrade and started a new poll, which I have sent to everyone I know.
I closed the original. Vote in the new one.

Ron Paul WILL affect the outcome of this election one way or another. Anyone who doesn't realize that is exceptionally naive. The only question is whether or not Ron Paul's affect will be in favor or against the GOP.

Looks like Ron Paul is winning.... perhaps representative of the future?
