Look at that chart again ;) It says

"SelectSmart.com Visitors Interested In Dean

While not the most frequent "winner of the presidential selector race" (see below), Howard Dean has generated the most interest among visitors to SelectSmart.com, based on an analysis of visits to the candidates' biographical sketches and positions pages.

Then go on to the charts. The overall results as well as the results for all the demographics I checked had Kucinich as the winner. If you go to Select Smart's forum you'll see that several people have already taken the Select Smart staff to task for mis-representing the picture. Select Smart's response is that they clearly specified that for Dean it was interest whereas for Kucinich it was people who matched with him.

I pasted the results for you in my initial post but you can go through the various states yourself and check. Dean, his supporters, and the media are doing one helluva job of putting him in the front-runner's place but the results on Select Smart and several other polls are not bearing that out.

Other than that, I agree with you. Support the candidate you MOST like and want in the primaries. That's what they're there for.

My point about ABB being there to condition us into accepting whatever final choice they'll give us remains. It's up to us not to be complacent but we do need to be aware of how machiavellic and manipulative the people in power will be.
