Just for fun,
I have put together a straw poll on the 2008 Democratic Presidential nomination. Don't complain if your candidate isn't there because, if you haven't noticed by now, that sort of thing doesn't change my mind. All of these candidates have either said they are actively considering a run, or are actually running already. No one else has said that, except for that weirdo from Alaska, and I don't care how you parse their words. Besides, this is the final straw poll that will include candidates who are "considering" a run. All straw polls after this point will only include announced candidates.
The poll is only active today,
so go and vote now. I'll go over the results tomorrow. Mark Warner has been removed and Barack Obama has been added.
Also, the Florida Democratic Party only needs another
$1,885 $1,480 to pay for a recount in FL-13.
You can help out here.
This is an open thread. Tell the world what is on your mind.
Update: Evan Bayh has been excluded from the poll (that is why there are so many "none of these" in the results). I like the guy even less because of this stuffing now. I can't imagine this will help his image in the netroots much either. Here is a hint to poll sutffers--the key to poll stuffing is dong it in a way that no one would notice it is poll stuffing.
Update 2: Forget the poll. Also, I'll add Mike Gravel into future polls. We are so close to having more caniddates announce, I'll just wait until the field is pretty set before doing more of this again (early 2007). Not to mention that we need some sort of secure voting mechanism so that annoying stuffers can't ruin the fun. That is what this really is to me--fun. Too many people sem to try and make some kind of point with these polls.
