Our Own Poll

Written by: Karen Kostoff on Jan 11, 2008 1:32 AM EST

Hi DFA Member;

I know you all heard from me or Teresa calling or emailing to find out who you support to be the nominee in the Democratic Presidential Caucus next week. Originally intended to have this done before the Iowa Caucus. That's why some answers reflect GREAT candidates that have since dropped out. Reason being, we had a hard time hearing back from people. So of our 183 members between Las Vegas and Henderson we actually only got 49 responses.

Unfortunately, we had some wrong numbers or emails. So it would be great if you could log in to your DFA account and update your profiles for us.

Out of the 49 responses we received not everyone got back to us with who their 2nd choice would be. So the First Choice numbers should add up and why they are in bold. The 2nd choices don't and that's why. Undecided is like a first choice because in our Caucus Uncommitted can be a viable group.

John Edwards First Choice 24

John Edwards 2nd Choice 13

Undecided 8

Hillary Clinton 3

Barack Obama 1st 6

Barack Obama 2nd 2

Dennis Kucinich 4

Bill Richardson 1st 2

Bill Richardson 2nd 3

Joe Biden 1st 2

Joe Biden 2nd 1 

Thanks to all of you that participated. I am happy to see my candidate as the number one choice as John is on most of the blogs. We really need support for him at the Caucus more than ever. There is a great diary on Daily Kos by RDemocrat about why Edwards people are sticking with John. It states it all with very good reasoning. This nominee is so important. There are issues voters are overlooking to get on the bandwagon with other candidates. This is a serious election. Our world is in serious shape and we need a strong leader to clean up the mess we are left with and move on with innovative opportunities to make our lives better and move forward. John has polled all along that he is most electable paired with all the Republican candidates. We have to win in November or you can forget the word "change." Alter Net posted a poll about 2 weeks ago that said " ...John Edwards beats the GOP field by an average by an average margin of victory of 16 points."

So check out Kos as RDemocrat posted a Part 2 today. Then I want to specifically mention one of our DFA members Jed Report has been doing some amazing posts on Kos. Please look for his Diaries/Comments. It's always exciting to me to see his name on there and then his posts are always terrific, interesting and informative. Kudos to Jed Report for all he does including his own site www.jedreport.com.

Thanks everyone and remember one weekend and week left to our Caucus!
