Survey: Dentists Prefer Barack

In The Wealthy Dentist’s weekly poll, we recently asked: If the Dems take the White House in 2008, who would you rather see sitting in the Oval Office — Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama?

Nearly three out of four dentists we polled said they would prefer Barack to Hillary. (Do you suppose this means people love Obama, or that they hate Clinton?) One of the most interesting results was that men were twice as likely to prefer Hillary Clinton as were women. (So much for sisterhood.) You can also see more detailed results.

We got comments on this survey from all across the political spectrum! Here are some highlights:

• “Neither. I’d rather slit my throat.”
• “I think they would both be terrific. Too bad they don’t run together!”
• “The men are going to go below the class ceiling. Women are going to rise above the glass ceiling.”
• “I am sorry, if Hilary wins, I am moving to Europe!”
• “Al Gore looks better and better. He got screwed in 2000.”
• “Go for it Girl!!! She’s ‘been there done that,’ well spoken, intelligent, has the most intelligent first person as a spouse. No problem – can the party get it together and get her elected?”
• “I still prefer another 8 years of Republican rule. Small business has been hampered by the Democrats. Eight more years should balance the owners’ and workers’ rights.”
• “Either one means socialism is on the way.”
• “The democrat you know is better than the one you don’t know.”
• “God help us”
• “It has been a long time since a sitting U.S. president has been assassinated. Hillary would probably tempt someone to try again.”
• “Barak for VP!”
• “I think they should fire everyone currently holding office and then randomly go through the phone book and select new candidates. Let them debate on national TV and let us vote.”
