Nobody has contributed to the poll in days anyway, and if you read through the thread, I haven't discriminated against any of the candidates (providing they were actually making any headlines that day or week).

you remember incorrectly t33kid fan:

All the candidates you missed had announced a good 4-6 months before your little poll. Research first, then speak. Gephardt was a big blunder there t33boy, he may well win the nomination yet. And anyone who really follows politics knows Clarke has been jockeying for position since before the Gulf War. But perhaps you are just a dilettante, in that case you are excused.
As to the rest of your blather, its a fucking forum. If you put up a thread, don't think you can come bullying around telling people exactly what they can and can't discuss. If you are discussing candidates for president, their ability to take on the current president is not only relevant, its the ONLY relevant thing. Unless they are just talking to bring up policy points they hope the eventual winner, Bush, will have to respond and react to. That may be all they are doing, because basically this election is an exercise in futility for the Dems, who are treading water until 2008 when Hillary runs and takes the party down in flames. If this election doesn't, that liberal fest will mark the complete end of the Dem party as a national force. I predict it will break into various feuding components, much like it is now, but with less effect.
