I have said in passing around here several times how impressed I was with the Kucinich folks' organizing, as I had heard them blow out the competition in a Wisconsin Public Radio straw poll a few weeks. (A mention of it on
my blog got notice on at least one DK mailing list--that a "Deanie" was impressed with them.)
Well, WPR did another straw poll today, and, since I got home before the end of the program, I was able to call in for Dean this time. (I am a Selective Luddite: sure, I'm writing this on my wireless laptop while watching my TiVo, but I refuse to get a cell phone.)
Anyway, the final results:
Howard Dean 25 (39%)
Wesley Clark 18 (28%)
Dennis Kucinich 17 (27%)
Carol Moseley Braun 3 (7%)
Dick Gephardt 1 (2%)
John Edwards 0 (0%)
John Kerry 0 (0%)
Al Sharpton 0 (0%)
Joe Lieberman -1 (-2%)
Yes, one woman called in and specifically voted
against Lieberman. So, even when the "Sharpton Line" is 0, Lieberman can get under it.
