Latest Poll Results: Iraq Still Key Issue to Respondents

The results of the latest Ideal Candidate Poll are in. Four out of five respondents to the poll cite the Iraq War as the most important issue that should be addressed by an Ideal Candidate. Ideal Candidate wants to know more. What position should Ideal Candidate take on withdrawl? Should it be total and immediate withdrawl of all troops? Or should our candidate campaign on a variant of Obama and Clinton's formula, withdrawl of most troops by a deadline with a residual presence to "maintain security?" Ideal candidate encourages you to post a comment.

Ideal candidate also believes that although local activists who are more likely to visit sites like this are less motivated on the economy, in an actual campaign drawing distinctions between the Bush-Gerlach record on the economy and an alternative philosphy (if not a policy wonk statement) from a challenger will play a big role in determining whether independents voting for Democratic candidates higher on the ballot will continue to use the 6th District race as an excuse to split their ticket and remain "true" to their "independent" self image.
