Once again, it is the second Monday of the month, and so it is time for another MyDD straw poll.
Go vote in the MyDD April straw poll.
I decided to hold this poll in the evening, instead of the afternoon. The way I figure it, the only people who read MyDD in the evening are the hardcore fans of the site, and I want to see who the hardcore fans of the site prefer in 2008. It might also reduce stuffing, but since
I have developed techniques to remove the stuffed votes after the fact, that is only a minor benefit.
Only announced candidates are included in the poll. I will turn off the voting before I go to bed, which should happen at around 2 or 3 am eastern.
You can see previous poll results here.
Anyway,
go vote in the poll. Let's see where MyDD readers stand on the 2008 Democratic primary.
Update: Kucinich stuffers have shown up. Just so you know, it is a futile effort guys. I can tell when votes are stuffed, and remove them from the total.
Update 2: Stuffers have shown up, but there are still some legitimate results coming in, so I will let it slide for an hour or so.
Update 3: It took me about an hour to remove all of the stuffed votes--and there were some clever stuffers this time--but I still managed to clean everything up. Here are the first place results, from the first 1,652 legitimate voters:
Edwards: 43.2%
Obama: 34.3%
Richardson: 7.9%
Other: 5.9%
Clinton: 3.8%
Unsure: 1.9%
Kucinich: 1.4%
Dodd: 0.7%
Biden: 0.5%
Gravel: 0.4%
I will have a more complete breakdown of results tomorrow.
