Clinton - Sanders - O'Malley... What do you feel, reading each name? We are waging a war of words with extreme passion, expounding diaries, and hundreds of comments streaming down the threads like alphanumeric stalactites of last-wordsmanship. But the question begs: Are you really going to change your mind?
Could that one fact - that one angle - that one quote really cause you to completely re-evaluate where you now stand on your choice in this election?
Many previous polls have explored candidate support, but I'd like us to have a sense not only of where we stand in this community, but to get a measure of how entrenched we are. Not only how much we support our candidate, but whether, if at all, we could support the other candidates.
Many of you have dug into your corners and are holding fast, expending so much energy and exchange over the candidates of the Democratic primary. Of course our diaries and comments here can spread beyond the skewed symmetrical abstraction of the fold mark and have an impact in the larger world, so I would not consider this a measurement of futility.
But please vote in the poll below, and let your thoughts about the discourse be known in the comments and we shall see who here gets the last word...
UPDATE: (unscientific attempt at adding a table) - I will update periodically.
