In order to prevent future episodes of yesterday's, um, unpleasentness, I'm am going to start combining the VP sweepstakes polls with the Emprical Cattle Call diary entries. The Cattle Call will be front page, the VP sweeps polls will be under "link and discuss."
Dean: 100.00
Clark: 61.38
Kerry: 53.27
Gephardt: 50.79
Lieberman: 46.76
Edwards: 25.46
Sharpton: 10.58
Kucinich: 8.66
Moseley-Braun: 8.59
Media results for 11/18 was the only new info added, and media results for 11/11 was the only old info removed. Dean threw down quite a media thumping yesterday, as stories surrounding the discovery of his borther's remians dominated the headlines.

Here are the VP sweepstakes rules:
Winning moves a candidate on to the next round, and eliminates him or her from all other preliminary ballots
Second place or 25%+ keeps a candidate viable for the final preliminary ballot, but does not remove them from other preliminary ballots
There are seven preliminary categories, and exactly twelve candidates will advance to the next round. Seven will be preliminary category "winners," the other five will be the top five vote getters on the final preliminary ballot.
Category #1: Security Personnel
Enjoy!
