Hmm, I think if I choose Howard Dean as my candidate in a primary, and I'm a Democrat, I'm probably voting for him in the general election.

There's no weaseling. One of those MEN (I said it), will be our president. It's incredibly naive, for instance, to assume that John Edwards and John Kerry are out of it. We're a year away, we have a long way to go. It's won't be the Green, it won't be the Libertarian, it won't be the Natural Law candidate, nor will it be the Psycho anti-tax tax payers who love God Party's guy.

It will be a Democrat or a Republican. For me to make a poll and selectively say "well hey, let's just put Bush and Dean here, cut to the chase!" would be subjective, naive, and jumping to conclusions. Truth is, it could be Dean, it could be Kerry, it could be Clark, but it could also be one of the only two southern REAL politicians from the south, Gephardt or Edwards (particularly in light of Clark and Lieberman throwing it in in Iowa). Excluding Kucinich, Braun, and whoever else because their polls are low would just show plain ignorance of past races. Clinton, to name one, polled low at this point, too.
