Not another one! Call to poll...
:grr:


"July 2006: dKos presidential straw poll":

http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2005/7/19/14615/3368

(don't ask me what sense to make of the title.)

At the moment JK has 84, beating only (of those listed): Vilsack (22) and Bayh (65).

Bill Richardson has 127. Huh? The guy who wouldn't allow a recount to go forward in New Mexico? (if I have that wrong please point me to a credible source for rebuttal).

Biden has 88. We should catch him pretty quick...

1. Dutifully done.
JK's up to 100.

But, really, I'm becoming increasingly convinced of Kos's political insignificance. The numbers over there just emphasize how marginal most of those people are. I hardly ever even go over there at this point, there are so few people posting things I'm interested in reading. I've also gotten sick of the alarmist posts ("Read this or you'll die!!") - tired of being manipulated on all sides.

2. were not gonna catch up
2%, I dont really care, I voted for Kerry and all but Clark has 37% of the vote, Richardson is indeed an odd pick since he strikes me though being a decent man with good intentions with being DLC to the core, if I recall he supported NAFTA very strongly.

3. Not to be indelicate,
but he's on my sh*t list because of the recount roadblocks he threw up in NM. As far as I know that's never been explained. And unitl it is, I won't even listen to him.

4. Nah its ok, I am not gonna get mad at you for
being pissed off at Richardson, I am indifferent to him rather, no love for him but no hate really either.

8. Passed Biden. That's something.
Altho the Richardson thing still has me stumped.

7. But..but... we need to move left...
we need to return to our roots... we need to activate the base...

What do these choices have to do with any of that? Feingold ought to be winning, if not Kerry.

:crazy:
