Results of Recent Polls

Who would you like to see get the Democratic nomination for President

Hillary Clinton - 27%

Barack Obama - 22%

None of the Above - 18%

John Edwards - 11%

Joe Biden - 11%

Dennis Kucinich - 4%

Bill Ricardson - 4%

Others - 3%



Sample Comments

It's time for a woman to take charge.

Dennis would be the president from Cleveland!

Biden seems the most sensible to me.

Could we have Bill instead of Hillary?

Where's the None of the Above Choice?




Brady (Quinn) or Grady (Sizemore)?

Brady Quinn

Grady Sizemore

The results are in after very heavy voting and Brady Quinn was your choice over Grady Sizemore by 72% to 28%



Sample Comments

Can't I have them both?

It's pretty close, but Sizemore wins. I think he has a better personality than Quinn. Grady has the best smile and dimples!

I need to start an organization called Brady's Lady's.

I am a huge fan and also now even a bigger Browns fan since we have Brady. He is such a great quarterback and even a better person. He is way better looking then Grady!

Both are great eye candy

I saw a picture of Brady on the beach. All i can say is wow! Talk about a 6-pack!

Regardless of individual cuteness I've never been a Notre Dame fan so therefore Grady gets my vote simply because of Brady's roots.




Should Atlanta Falcons Quarterback Michael Vick be banned from the NFL for his dog fighting operation?

Yes - 84%

No - 16%



Sample Comments

I'd rephrase that question b/c it has not been proven that he has a dog fighting operation. That's the whole problem. Vick is just stupid not a malicious criminal.

I could not support a player, team or league that condones such behavior.

Read George Graham Vest's Eulogy to the dog.

I am just sick when I read about the way they treated and then killed those dogs.



Would you vote for a Mormon (not necessarily Mitt Romney) for President?

Yes - 62%

No - 38%



Sample Comments

I hope we still don't rely on religious or other prejudices. Let the best person win.

I don't want my president to be a religious fanatic.

Don't Mormons have multiple wives? That doesn't seem to reflect our values.




What do you think of the Alec Baldwin call to his daughter?

It is a big deal. It was a terrible thing and he should pay a price. - 72%

No big deal. Parents say things like that all the time. - 28%



Sample Comments

All future visits, etc. should be strictly supervised by an objective observer.

I would hate for all my personal rants and raves to be made public.

That little girl will remember this forever.

He is a good actor but a poor father - and which is ultimately more imporant?




When invited to a wedding reception with a sit down meal, which of the following would you most prefer?

Your hosts had assigned you to a table but you can take any seat at the table - 57%

No seats or tables have been assigned - 28%

Your hosts have assigned specific seats - 15%



Sample Comments

It's nice to know what table but beyond that, let us decide which seats

I like the fancy name cards so I guess assigned seats

Just don't stick me with some old relatives




Consumer Reports tests showed McDonald's coffee is best. Which do you prefer?

Starbucks - 43%

I want to see prince at halftime

I LOVE Peyton Manning





Who's side are you on in "the feud" - Rosie O'Donnell or Donald Trump?

Rosie O'Donnell - 58%

Donald Trump - 42%



Sample Comments

I think it's a big publicity stunt from both of them - and it worked.

Donald Trump is a spoiled rich man.

I used to like The View but it's now the Rosie Show. What was Barbara Walters thinking?





Do you view the Seinfeld show differently after Kramer's (Michael Richards) racist rant?

Yes - 23%

No - 77%



Sample Comments

No but I do have a different view of Michael Richards.

He is still as funny as all get out. I was surprised of his outburst but sometimes people lose it. I wasn't there to witness it or know what was going on with him at the time.

It's very strange to see Kramer and recall the actions of Michael Richards. What a shame.





Has head coach Romeo Crennel lost control of the Cleveland Browns?

Yes - 45%

No - 55%



Sample Comments

The players have to play the game

There's a reason he was an assistant coach so long and not a head coach.

The players seem to like him - they came through Sunday




Saddam Hussein was found guilty in an Iraq court and wil be scheduled for execution. Should he be executed?

Yes - 99%

No - 1%



Sample Comments

He is a mass murderer - of his own people!

His thousands of victims demand justice from their graves

No - Will killing him bring anyone back? Killing is never justified

I just can't

I'd be embarassed if it was discovered but the world is a crazy place.



Are you more likely to watch CBS News because Katie Couric is the anchor?

Yes - 4%

No - 96%



Sample Comments

I don't respect most morning news program anchors as real journalists.

She doesn't have the strong, serious personality that a news anchor requires.

Thankfully we are past the days where we care whether it's a man or a woman - the ability is what matters.



The visitors to a celebrity website voted for the sexiest males. Who would you pick?

Johnny Depp - 52%

One or more Dogs - 42%

One or more Cats - 38%

Other Pet - 12%

No - 8%

I don't really "own" them. They are family.

2 cats and 2 dogs!

Beach Boys- 3%

Sample Comments

No country choices? What about Reba, Faith, Shania, Carrie and on and on?

Carrie Underwood is great for cruising

The Bangles sound like summer all year round




Would you have cosmetic surgery to improve your looks?

Yes - 34%

No - 42%

Already Have - 24%



Sample Comments

Already Have - laser skin resurfacing and eyelids. To beat old age!

Too many "after" pictures look scary

Not yet but maybe someday



Which celebrity would you trust most to leave your child with on a playdate?

Jennifer Garner - 82%

Angelina Jolie - 18%

Katie Holmes- 0%

Britney Spears - 0%




Sample Comments

Of those - Jennifer Garner, but I wouldn't actually leave my son with any of them (and he's 25)

None of the above!

Britney won't use a carseat, Katie is under a spell - I guess Jennifer or Angelina would do.



Would you speak up to a parent being harsh to their child in public?

Yes - 21%

No - 79%




Sample Comments

"Harsh" is a relative term so unless there was real abuse, I would mind my own business.

Now, the level of harsh you speak of is relative to each individual. I have seen TOOOO MANY times a child trying to take advantage of the 'public scene' to attain 'their' desired result....soooo I have no problem when I see a strong, un weilding parent stand 'their' ground to take the control 'back' where it belongs. I sincerely feel todays young person is not being taught the most basic of decency behaviors...public or otherwise. Parents....TEACH YOUR CHILDREN SOME MANNERS....NOW!Thank you.

The way some of these parents treat their children in public is terrible. I am afraid for how they treat them at home.



Do you drive an American car?

Yes - only American - 18%

Yes but have driven foreign - 29%

No - 53%




Sample Comments

Really and truly . . . are any cars really "only American"?

I know nothing about cars but my Honda never breaks down while my friend's Ford seems to have lots of problems.

It's a global economy now - if an American worker wants to earn that big union paycheck they have to produce better.

I try to buy American whenever possible



Would you date your friend's ex-boyfriend or ex-husband?

No - not worth it - 72%

Ex-boyfriend yes, ex-husband no - 18%

Yes, everybody is somebody's ex - 10%




Sample Comments

I wouldn't want one of my friends dating my ex so I won't do it to others. Not only that but it's tasteless and down right scandalous

People have lots of boyfriends so I don't see a problem with that. An ex-husband could get complicated though.

Like the question said - everybody is somebody's ex, so why worry?

I met my current partner when he was dating my friend. She is fine with it.



Will you watch the SuperBowl?

Yes because of a party or to be with others (don't care about the game) - 45%

Yes - because I enjoy the game - 28%

No, won't watch - 27%




Sample Comments

I have been a football fan for as long as I can remember, and the Super Bowl is the biggest game of the season. Plus this year my favorite team is playing in the big game!!

I watch for the commercials

If you don't watch, it's like you missed out on something.

Just once I'd like to see the Browns win something




What do you think of re-gifting?

No problem - I often re-gift - 56%

OK for me to re-gift but I don't like to receive re-gifts - 26%

Re-gifting is bad either way - 18%




Sample Comments

What is the purpose behind a gift? To fulfill a social obligation or to try and make someone happy with something special? I always choose gifts unique for the recipient.

If it's in brand new condition and you can't use it but someone else can, what's the problem?

In my family, there is one gift that has been passed around so much it has become a joke.




If you were getting married next week, would you take your husband's last name?

Yes - 42%

No - 55%

Hyphenated - 3%




Sample Comments

I'm not a doctor, lawyer, or published author, but I still feel that I have as much right to my birth name as he does. This issue actually ended an engagement.

I use my maiden name as my middle name (not hyphenated). I like us being a family with one name and not my having one name and my husband and children having another one.

My husband took mine (as a middle name) and I did the same with his.

I want my children to have the least confusion possible so would take his name.



What TV character do you identify with most?

Rachel Green (Friends) - 38%

Carrie Bradshaw (Sex in the City) - 36%

Grace Adler (Will & Grace) - 22%

Deborah Barone (Everybody Loves Raymond) - 3%

Murphy Brown (Murphy Brown) - 1%



Sample Comments

I wish I could say Carrie Bradshaw but I am more like Deborah

None of these characters are even close to being realistic

I identify with Grace but my life is very different


Would you vote for Jerry Springer for a statewide office?

Yes - 24%

No - 76%



Sample Comments

How many women has he degraded on his show - and now he wants to be taken seriously? No way.

He can't be much worse than our current governor

Don't we have enough problems without this guy sleazing up the statehouse?



Our movie reviewer Carolyn McFaul is upset at the exorbitant use of the "F-word" and other sleazy things in the 2 movies she reviewed this month. (click to read). What do you think?

Lighten up Carolyn.
That's how people talk and act. - 42%

Right on Carolyn.
We don't need to hear/see that. - 58%



Sample Comments

Those words have become so commonplace that I don't even notice them anymore

It's a shame that guys trying to "score" by lying to bridesmaids are turned into heroes. What does that tell our daughters?

This is what people seem to want - so Hollywood gives it to them.


Just as you pay more for extra luggage, some airlines are considering charging people for their excess weight. Should overweight passengers pay more for their airline tickets?

Yes - 19%

No - 81%



Sample Comments

People in first-class pay more and get more including a wider seat and more leg room. If overweight passengers pay more they should get more!

If they take up more room, they should pay more.

No way am I going to get on a scale at the airport. It's bad enough I have to take off my shoes.



Tom Cruise recently criticized Brooke Shields for her use of therapy and antidepressants to deal with postpartum depression and told Today Show host Matt Lauer "You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do." Has this changed your opinion of him?

Yes - 82%

No - 18%



Sample Comments

Tom Cruise stated that he has read all of the literature on this issue which is interesting because most psychologists and psychiatrists haven't read ALL the literature. I hope Katie Holmes gets out while she can.

Not at all - I knew he was all looks and no brain before this latest comment

I am convinced that he is disturbed and needs to be rescued from the cult that he's in.

I never liked him from the first time I saw him. He's a jerk.



The City of Cleveland plans on installing 28 cameras at various locations that will take a picture of violators cars and mail them a $100 or $200 ticket. What do you think?

Good Idea - 14%

Bad Idea - 86%



Sample Comments

The city needs the money

I wish we had a decent alternative to this mayor - she is a joke

I don't trust the cameras - what will they be used for next?



Do you think Michael Jackson will be found guilty?

Yes - 32%

No - 68%



Sample Comments

Guilty? Of course, but that doesn't matter

Probably not..a nut case, yes, but probably not a pedaphile, instead of being arrested he is more a case of arrested development

No I don't. If there's any grown man weird enough to sleep with little children and *not* have anything sexual happen, it's Michael Jackson!

At the very least, he was definitely inappropriate



What should happen to the Runaway Bride?

Criminal Charges - 23%

Civil Charges - 36%

Criminal and Civil Charges - 17%

Nothing - 24%



Sample Comments

She needs mental health counseling, not a fine. People need to leave her alone and in peace. This kind of thing is more common than many people believe.

She planned this ahead and then tied up valuable police and other resources that could have led to tragedy. She should pay for that.

There's a lot more to this story then we know



Would you relocate (out-of-state) for love?

Yes - 3%

No - 97%



Sample Comments

Why should I leave family, friends and home - if he loves me he can move here.

(I'm) too established here.

If he was really my dream guy and soul mate, I would go to him

For a great career opportunity - yes. For love? No



Should the feeding tube be reinserted for Terri Schiavo?

Yes - 31%

No - 69%



Sample Comments

There is no winning side in this tragic situation

Why did her husband suddenly remember her wishes after 7 years? Once he had a new girlfriend and 2 kids with her, he conveniently remembered that Terri wanted to die. What a slime.

The politicians had no right to get involved in this. It was a family matter and the husband had every right to speak for his wife.



A proposed development, anchored by a Wal-Mart store had been planned for the Steelyard Commons site. Now it looks to be a dead deal - some say because of Cleveland City Council.

Should Wal-Mart have been welcomed to build in Cleveland?

Yes - 82%

No - 18%



Sample Comments

Besides Dave's there is no place for residents of Cleveland - like me - to shop. We have to drive to the suburbs just to get things.

Wal-Mart is non-union so they shouldn't be allowed in the city.

Let the people decide - not some politicians who don't have to shop for a family anyway.



Do you snoop in people's bathrooms when you visit?

Yes - 37%

No - 63%



Sample Comments

No. I respect my host's privacy.

No - the golden rule says "do unto others..." I don't want people snopping in mine so I don't snoop in theirs.

Yes - It's harmless and I am curious. I'm sure they peek in mine.




Some schools have stopped having Valentine's Day exchanges since some kids are left out. Should they still give Valentines at school?

Yes - 92%

No - 8%



Sample Comments

No. I remember the pain in not receiving any valentines

Of course - let kids be kids.

Yes - teachers can make sure that nobody is left out





Would you rather be 20 lbs over your ideal weight or 20 lbs under?

Over - 84%

Under - 16%



Sample Comments

That would be a sizable drop in weight for me.

20 lbs under would be unhealthy and I'd look like a skeleton

I'm glad the anorexic look is out of fashion now



Did you make any New Year's Resolutions?

Yes - 71%

No - 29%



Sample Comments

I never keep them but I still make them

I am excited about 2005 - this is my year!

I used to but not anymore




Will you be spending more or less this holiday season?

More - 62%

Less - 38%



Sample Comments

I spend more every year somehow!

My husband is out of work so we are cutting back

My kids are spoiled and it's my fault. Always more, more, more!




What do you think of the 57 year old woman who just gave birth to twins?

Approve - Good for her - 3%

Disapprove - Those poor kids - 97%



Sample Comments

I am a mother of three and just recently sent my first born off to college. I couldn't see myself starting over again with the baby stuff. I want to be loving my grandchildren at 57 and giving them back to their parents at the end of the day.

She's crazy!

Those kids will miss out on a lot because she is being selfish.

She will not have the physical stamina needed to handle twins at that age. I barely do at 28.




What's your Favorite Reality Show?

The Apprentice - 23%

Survivor - 54%

The Bachelor/Bachelorette - 3%

Amazing Race - 20%



Sample Comments

I think they are all pure junk.

Amazing Race is like a travelog - the scenery is breathtaking

I wouldn't miss Survivor for anything!




Who do you THINK (not who do you WANT) will win the election?

Bush - 42%

Kerry - 58%
