How About None of the Above?
This graph shows the results of a USA Today/Gallup Poll that asked the following question:
"Between now and the 2008 political conventions, there will be discussion about the qualifications of presidential candidates -- their education, age, religion, race, and so on. If your party nominated a generally well-qualified person for president who happened to be [see below], would you vote for that person?"
Not good news if your an older, gay non-believer who's thinking of running for President.
The Carpetbagger Report also has a breakdown of the results, What kind of people won’t Americans vote for?, by political ideology. The study showed that liberals are more open to "non-traditional candidates" (read that: someone other than a WASP male) than those who are conservative. I'm glad I was sitting down when I read that one. Who would have thunk?
