January 2007 Straw Poll

It is a new year, and so I am going to start these up again. Vote in the MyDD straw poll.

I think the changing field of candidates should significantly reduce ballot stuffing, considering our past difficulties with Bayh supporters. Still, there has been recorded stuffing on behalf of Edwards and Clark in the past, but hopefully conducting this late at night will help reduce that problem. Also, here is my standard plea to potential poll stuffers:
It isn't that I think stuffing is wrong. On a moral level, there is nothing wrong with it at all. It is just that I would love to see what regular readers of MyDD actually think about the 2008 Democratic primaries. Please, I urge you, do not taint this poll by sending your blog readers, you email list, your MySpace group, your Facebook group, or your Yahoo group to alter the results. Think about this for a moment--wouldn't it be better to know where your candidate stands among MyDD readers, than it would to overtly skew the results of a poll to make it seem as though MyDD readers are behind your candidate when, in fact, they are not? Don't you want to know where you candidate actually stands among MyDD readers? If I were behind one candidate, I would want to know where my candidate stood. Skewing the results tells you nothing except that you are able to skew the results.

Anyway, you can't skew the results without my knowing. I have access to every vote made in polls like this, including a history of votes in chronological order, and as such I know when stuffing is taking place. Whether that stuffing is for Clark, Edwards, Feingold, Richardson, Bayh, Gore or whoever (I have seen stuffing on behalf of every candidate I named), is it really more useful to you to have me broadcast on the front page of MyDD that you stuffed the poll than it is to know where your candidate stands among the potential contenders? Please tell me it is not.
Rise above Freeperdom. Don't stuff the poll.

Now, with that said, please vote in the January MyDD straw poll. I have included the ten candidates making the most serious moves toward running. If you don't like the choices, or think I should have included someone else, then just select "Not Sure" in the poll.

Re: January 2007 Straw Poll (none / 0)

I went

1 - Clark
2 - Edwards

We are going to need a serious negotiator in 2009 and having met Clark at YK06 he is the best candidate in my book. However, Clark is still on the sidelines (most frustrating).

Edwards is in the race, has Senate experience and is saying (and now doing) the right stuff in my book.

I rated 'Not Sure' above Clinton at 11th.

Re: January 2007 Straw Poll (none / 0)

The only thing I don't like about this is that it is full rank choice, instead of just a top 3 rcv like we have for city elections in SF. The problem is that at a certain point, I have I tough time distinguishing my contempt (there are multiple DLC members) but I want to fill the whole thing out anyway because people do reverse investigation. I don't know, I think the problem has more to do with too many crappy candidates then it does with the poll.


by Bob Brigham on Tue Jan 09, 2007 at 12:53:05 AM EST

I only voted for four (none / 0)

Top choice, Edwards, followed by the three other candidates whom I would theoretically consider if for some reason Edwards left the race. I put not sure as 5th and didn't rank the rest, because there is no conceivable way I could end up supporting them in a primary.

Re: Why not draft someone? (none / 0)

I don't think they are all crappy, but there is some dead weight at the bottom of the barrel.

I'm busy with a different draft where I can be far more effective, but with the CA Gov and Speaker both on the same page with moving the primary to Feb, I'm sure I'll start fighting for somebody as the internet is the only rational way for a candidate who doesn't suck to be able to win in CA.

he doesn't seem to have any organization in IA (none / 0)

I have been surprised about that--I had heard that Clark regretted getting in the race late and skipping Iowa last time around. He did some campaigning for some Iowa Democrats last year, but I haven't heard any gossip about him putting together an organization here.

Maybe he figures Edwards is too far ahead in Iowa at this point for Clark to compete, which is probably right.

Re: he doesn't seem to have any organization in IA (none / 0)

Looking back, Clark benefited from getting in late last time: his NH & SC numbers were quite strong before people wanted to get the primaries over and rally behind Kerry. Up until the week of Kerry's Iowa win, Clark was running in first or second in NH.

The major mistake Clark made was not going into Iowa, where he could have landed in the top two, if not three. From there, he could've done well in NH and SC, won Oklahoma (which he did), New Mexico, Tennessee, and Virginia, fared strong in Wisconsin, and that would have been enough to go into the March Super-Tuesday.

Basically, Clark can come in late this summer, run hard at Iowa, and less-so in NH (people know him there already), and come out of those two contests very strong.

Just a thought.

Re: he doesn't seem to have any organization in IA (none / 0)

I've heard enough gossip to suggest that Clark will make a real effort in Iowa as part of an 08 run.  At least I can honestly say that I've heard enough gossip to be hopeful that he will.  No one is too far ahead in Iowa to be competed against while the contest is still over a year away.  Edwards was nowhere, so to speak, in Iowa a year out, and a month ahead of the Iowa vote Edwards was in low to middle single digits.  Gephardt was way out in front in Iowa at one point.  A great deal can change in a year.

Biden got 11th, as usual.


by KainIIIC on Tue Jan 09, 2007 at 01:45:44 AM EST

Re: January 2007 Straw Poll (none / 0)

Is Obama really a good progressive? How do you figure? Nothing in his Senate voting record shows it, and he frequently goes out of his way to abuse the generic Democratic party on meta issues and pander to the mythical 'center' in speeches. He could just as easily be using his platform to build up the party. I'm increasingly viewing him as a very selfish person.

Gore would be my first choice. I voted Edwards, because I do like the man (and his wife), and he is unquestionably a progressive populist. And he doesn't talk meta in speeches to the general public.

I think Clark supporters are running out of steam because Clark hasn't been as clear about his desire for the job as have Obama and Edwards. But Clark is my second choice.

Re: Please run separate poll with Gore in it (none / 0)

Not taking a shot at Gore here, but don't you think the separate polls with the addition of just one candidate are biased? It's intersting to see, but it's sensationalism. Imagine a poll that was prefaced with, "And here's your dream presidential strawpoll featuring John Kerry."

Yes, Gore's not Kerry, etc. etc. -- that's not the point: this is an example of the premise. If he's in the poll, he should be in the regular one. If people want to vote for him, than they will. And he probably won't perform as strong because he's not declared and leaning more away from running than towards it. So, the less-than-usual performance can be brushed off with a "Well, he's not even in the race." or it can be trumped up with "He's still registering and he's not even in the race." But a seperate poll inflates his actual support.


by jrb1968 on Tue Jan 09, 2007 at 11:24:21 AM EST

Of course I would rather (none / 0)

for Gore to be in the main poll! But that isn't going to happen until Gore says more than "I haven't completely ruled out a run."

As for your Kerry example, you could announce Kerry's inclusion any way you like, it wouldn't add to his total.

Rankings polls such as this one with IRV on the back end are supposed to get around that.

"Electability", is a word that is not exactly definable but we all know it; I too sense it in Kucinich. I guess I feel guilty; his policies are very much the ones I want for the next president, though it will not be him.
He still might play an important role in the Iowa debates; he could force the others to deal with issues that they rather not, especially Iraq but also health care or other items on the progressive agenda that stall in congress this year.

Re: January 2007 Straw Poll (none / 0)

I agree. But I think she could do with making her case amongst the netroots, finding some common ground because if she wins the nomination she'll need all the help she can get. And at the moment the general sense across the main sites seems to be that very few people would campaign for her, though most would vote democratic regardless of the names on the ticket.

In terms of their voting records there is very little between Edwards, Obama and HRC. If people are only willing to support someone who was against the war from the very start then fair enough but that might well mean having to abstain in the presidential election.

HRC is not a progressive but she has some progressive tendencies and she could do a lot more to bond with the netroots in areas where there is agreement.

My top choice is Gore. I think you should include him even though he's not declared. After all, you include Obama, and he hasn't really declared yet, either.
Gore is the big kahuna, and if he were to enter, the bottom tier would all drop out for lack of oxygen. And the bottom tier is about 8 of the candidates on your list.

I'd vote for Kucinich higher, but alas, he will never be considered a serious candidate.

Re: January 2007 Straw Poll (none / 0)

Edwards is doing well - reward for taking the race seriously. Contrast with say Clark who seems to have left it too late once again. If it is not clear your candidate is running, you start to consider other options and may not return should your original choice re-enter the race. I think Gore may find the same thing happening to a fraction of his support.


by kundalini on Tue Jan 09, 2007 at 09:02:47 AM EST

"Left it too late again"? (none / 0)

For God's sake, it's only January 07!

There's plenty of time for Clark to jump in.  There are plenty of campaign people still uncommitted to campaigns.  There's a full year until the first caucus.

Last time, only Gephardt really had much of anything on the ground in Iowa this early, but it was a strong organization made up of people he had worked with and trusted for many years.  And while I didn't any of them personally, I would guess they were dedicated and competent.  How much good did it do him in the end?

Obviously it takes a good, solid staff to be competitive in any state's primary or caucus.  But what will ultimately matter most is the quality of the candidate.

I think Wes Clark will be very competitive this time around.

But that is very different indeed from saying it's too late to get in.

Besides, I think Clark has started.  He's lining up money and contacts before he goes formal is all.  He already has grassroots support.  Nothing like he'll need, but more than enough to grow.

Why's that? You don't like lawyers who represent those wronged by large corporations? Corporations that would otherwise continue their unsafe practices because all they care about is profits?

The best example would be the case he took on with the young girl and the pool filter. The grate to the filter had come off and the girl had become stuck on it. The extreme suction pulled out her intestines. She has to spend the rest of her life with a bag attached to her body.

The company knew about the fault in their product as they had gotten many previous reports of the fault and the risk involved, but they didn't care.

They paid a lot more attention after the bad publicity from that case and the large settlement John Edwards got for the girl and her family for her ongoing medical care, suffering and the companies gross negligence and indifference.

That's standing up for the wronged little guy against the big guy's abuses. That's what the Democratic party believes in.

I voted for "Not Sure" as my top choice.

At this time in 2003 I had an opening favorite but had decided to spend the first half of the year investigating all the candidates to see who stood out, who caught fire, who really seemed to understand what leadership is all about.

Near the end of the summer I spent a weekend making my analysis and jumped into Howard Dean's campaign with both feet.

This year will probably progress along a similar path.

for the poll to be relivent you would probally have to skew the poll based on several factors. name reconition,money,network, and support outside the netroots. Which would probally give Clinton a +25% skew, Edwards a -12%, Clark a + 3%,Richardson a +12%, Gravel would probally become nil, Kunnich +2%,Obama -3%,Biden,Dodd and Vilsack would probally also become nil.

Putting it
Edwards at 26%
Clinton at 24%
Clark   at 16%
Obama at   14%
Richardson at 13%

and Biden,Dodd,Vilsack and Gravel at nothing or so small it's not mesurable.(well there is 4% margin i'm attibuting to al of them together with not sure because people general are)

Who's Gravel?  I've never heard the name before, unless it's actually a vote for a bunch of little rocks.
