(Subtract "Against" votes from "For" votes for net results.) If only the women currently running for president were on the ballot in the general election and you could vote for or against anyone, how would you vote?
I am not promoting sexism, but rather trying to understand it better. Please comment.
Please research each candidate before voting...

Barack Obama. (Write-in)
I honestly had to look into it carefully after I made this poll, but I have made up my mind. Originally I was thinking I think I would either vote for Kat, or write in Barack Obama. While any of the candidates in this poll would have been acceptable to me up until recently, Hillary Clinton has lost my respect, and I am now bordering on siding with a vote directly against her given these choices on the ballot, but while I still have nothing against the other candidates, Barack Obama still has the most positive potential in my opinion... so he gets my vote, even if I'm the only one to vote for him here.
Anyway, I hope people like this poll.
Subtract the votes AGAINST each candidate from the votes FOR that same candidate to get the candidate's net vote count. The highest net vote count indicates who is leading. This is a single vote balanced plurality voting system. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

I would write in a vote for my candidate but gender is not important to me
Barack Obama gets my vote!I would write in a vote for my candidate but gender is not important to me
Although I am a Hillary Supporter I am going with write in and that gender doesn’t matter to me. I live in the state of MA and in the past seven yrs we have had the opportunity to vote for a women Gov. I did not find any of them to be worthy of being Gov. 2 were Republicans and one was Democrat.Kate Swift: Thank goodness I watch that video, because I say no. My sense about her; it sounded like she was running for Senior Class president. I had read her bios but I can’t rely upon that, I also have to have a visual to get a better understanding of character.
Cynthia McKinney: Not after her little fiasco with the Security Guard in the US Capital in 2006. To make it brief she didn’t let him do his job which is screen everyone who came into the Capital. She felt she was above that, and proceeded to vilify him for it; which also says a lot about her character.
Hillary Clinton: Is a fighter, I know that most people have a different opinion but for someone to get up every morning and face what she has to face takes a lot of courage. I don’t want a quitter president, or someone who looks like a push over. Her resume is very impressive. To sum it up if I was an owner of a company and had her or any of the ladies that you mention interviewing for a top position, it would be her tha...

Mary Ruwart: I watched the Libertarian convention on C-Span; and my impression is she is a push over. When her turn to speak during their debate; in her description of herself she said she wasn’t like Senator Clinton, that totally turn me off. To have to relate to another candidate to get your point across…well to me that makes you a weak candidate. The man next to her however said if they had Senator Clinton on the Libertarian party that would be a good thing.
And NO I am not voting for Obama!!!!

About that idea of hiring her into a top position for a big company... I can understand how one could see her as having the potential to bring in a lot of money but, considering that she has lied on her application, I would personally rather have a lower risk and more trust worthy employee. That is I guess a difference in how people do things. Thanks for your vote and your feedback.

None of the above
All are obviously capable...None are READY... in my opinion.Anyway... thanks. :)

This one's pretty negative, and terribly inaccurate...
http://www.sodahead.com/quest...
calling Barack Obama "just another wolf in sheeps clothing like the rest of the media selected candidates you all think you are left with" and going on to say he'll "target muslims and arabs and continue unsustainable energy policies that will create further issues"
Don't know if you were misinformed or what, because it seemed very out-of-character for you... but that was you, right?
Vote against Hillary Clinton
I really wish I could cast an anti-Hillary vote! That would be terrific!Here are the results of this poll so far...

Vote against Hillary Clinton
Obama 08Vote for Cynthia McKinney
Maybe i'm being a little partisan, but kat and cynthia are the only two choices i could imagine suporting. (Though i give mary credit for voicing a controversial position in the irrational realm of statutory rape.)Vote for Kat Swift
Kat has the best positions of the Green Party Candidates, therefore she has my vote.Vote for Kat Swift
kat Swift is "the One" with Real Answers, and a Value System and Experience in order for "future answers" as the U.S.A. Grows and Evolves.None of the above
I don't know those women, except hc, and I know so much about her I can't stomach the thought of her being pres. I don't care if a man or woman is pres. I vote for the Person! Sincerity and Honesty are big with me. At this point I would vote against hc, and write Obama in.I would write in a vote for my candidate but gender is not important to me
Gender has nothing to do with anything. A person's character and a genuine love of this country, is all I ask. As well as good leadership.Here are the results of this poll so far...

i dont like her at all,,,,cant go with anyone beside omaba !!!Vote for Cynthia McKinney
moderated...Vote for Kat Swift
Playing along and assuming that any of these candidates could actually win the election, she would be my first choice. I'm often torn between voting for the candidate who comes closest to my own views, and the "viable" candidate who comes closest - or sometimes, is least objectionable. I don't wish to throw away my vote, so with the current election system we have, I will only vote for a "viable" candidate. I hope you will blog about this later, and include all the results from all of your various polls in your blog. Thank you for calling my attention to this one.My screen name, by the way, comes from an insult that was hurled at me by a loyal Green, during a past election season, because I thought it more important to defeat Bush than to cast my vote for a Green. He called me "a chartreuse dog, the mongrel offspring of a yellow dog Democrat and a Green." I wish 80,000 voters in Florida had been chartreuse dogs, then the election would not have been close enough for them to steal it.
The people who voted Nader made a deliberate, often very well-thought-out choice not to vote for Gore, knowing full well the situation. The people who stayed home? That was just sloth, or apathy, or foolishness. And yet nobody dwells on how random samples of 80,000 of *them* didn't take the time to hit the polls and vote a certain way.
The choices put forward each election are pre-screened by those with wealth (in the mega fundraising phase) s hat it is certain that whoever wins will toe the line.
Vote against Hillary Clinton
moderated...I would write in a vote for my candidate but gender is not important to me
It was a toss up, but I would prefer to write-in Obama. My other choice would be to vote AGAINST HiLlARy.I would write in a vote for my candidate but gender is not important to me
I would write in Barack Obama on the ballot. I examine each person that is could possibly take the position and whether they are on the ballot or not...the best person will get my vote.Vote for Kat Swift
Funny this poll showed up when it did...I'm going to be voting for Kat Swift at the SC state convention tomorrow!Vote for Kat Swift
Thank you for raising awareness that there are more than just two parties running in this election! I had no idea who Swift and Ruart were until now. It prompted me to go out there and find out a little about them. Again, thanks.Vote for Hillary Clinton
I believe any other choice on this poll would be a waste of my one precious vote.Including your vote for Hillary, and the write-in vote against Hillary, here are the net vote results at this time
(~2pm, 4/29/2008)...
2 net votes for Cynthia McKinney
0 net votes for or against Kat Swift
0 net votes for or against Mary Ruwart
1 net vote against Hillary Clinton (1 - 2 = -1)
So far, a Green Party / Peace & Reform Party candidate is winning.
The Democratic party candidate still has a negative net vote count, in spite of your voting for her because you're used to an unbalanced plurality voting system where only two parties have a chance based on which parties are known to have won in the past. In other words... I've eliminated the biggest flaw in the electoral system.
Vote for Cynthia McKinney
McKinney or Swift sure but definitely -not- Clinton!I would write in a vote for my candidate but gender is not important to me
I would write in my vote but it would be against Hillary.Oh, by the way... Against Hillary was one of the options in this poll... but it's all good. Thanks for the vote and the comment. :)
Vote against Hillary Clinton
not her!
