2008 Slog Poll Results: Who You Want to Be the Democratic Nominee.
posted by on August 9 at 17:30 PM
Below are the results from our second poll of Slog readers on the race for the Democratic nomination. Our first poll, way back in January, produced a similar top-three when Al Gore was factored out. You guys like, in order of preference: Obama, Hillary, and then Edwards.
We’ll try doing these unscientific polls on a more regular schedule in the future (maybe monthly instead of every-eight-monthly) so that we can watch how your opinions change over time as the primaries draw nearer. Perhaps we’ll even draw some unscientific conclusions about your unscientific box clicking.
Boooo. These results remind me of dogshit.
Clinton-Gore '08 has a resonance. Think hard on it… Clinton has the backing of the hardcore republican base, and Gore has the hardcore democrat base.
How many votes were there total, Eli?
@3
...it says the total votes at the bottom of each ballot.
I cleared my cache to vote for Richardson a couple of times. Most of these votes aren't legit.

Pick Your Candidate:
It's rough because of the broad generalizations, but interesting nonetheless.
Also:
kucinich is a long shot because people keep telling us he is, even though most everyone i know agrees with nearly everything he says. we are trained to embrace mediocracy.
Kucinich has no chance because although we are thinking animals, we are still animals. And the part of us that we share with other pack animals, the part that likes to form up under an alpha male or alpha female, is completely unreceptive to the idea of Denny as an alpha anything.
@ Poe, not in my brower it doesn't ....
Well, I'll check it out when I get home. I use Safari at home so maybe I'll be able to see it there.
That "pick your candidate" website is totally geared to produce a Kucinich result, whatever the guy claims. It doesn't even mention the traditional issues, like economics. It's just hot-button moral issues. It is in fact a clear bias to extremism, either right or left.
What Fnarf said. I know I've got little in common with Dennis "Peace Department" Kucinich but that's who I allegedly agree with 90% of the time. There are no practical questions asked by that site.
@10, @11 - true.
Reality favors Gore and Obama. MSM favors Sen. Clinton. And activists favor Kucinich and that wacko GOP guy who hates the Iraq War but won't win.
All "hot-button moral issues"? Whatever.
They're soliticting suggestions for the next 25 issues to add to the list. Here's the existing list.
