Things have shaken up a little, with Hillary showing some signs of life in the netroots (which will likely improve given her strong recent support for the netroots and stellar debate performance last night), Obama making significant gains after bleeding support the past few months, and Edwards facing a small but significant (10 percent) drop in support.
I've grown to like Dodd's oddball candidacy, but he's got zero real traction, just edging out the disliked Biden by a single vote out of 14,959 cast. Even that crank Gravel got more votes (with few people embracing his schtick).
The top three Daily Kos candidates are in inverse order to the national polls which show the race as 1) Hillary, 2) Obama, and 3) Edwards.
Are we contrarians or visionaries?
p.s. I voted for "No Freakin' Clue". I'm enjoying watching the campaigns without any emotional investment in any of them. It's quite liberating. I wish more of you would give it a shot.
