Accordin to MoveOn.org,, Obama beat Edwards...Hillary way down on the list

[loudsue]

"Dear MoveOn member,

The votes are in, and Barack Obama is MoveOn members' top choice to lead the country out of Iraq, with John Edwards a close second (see full results below).

At the Virtual Town Hall meeting Obama said, "The hard truth is there's no military solution...It's time to end this war." Edwards declared, "Congress...must not write George Bush another blank check without a timeline for withdrawal. Period."

Ensuring that Obama or Edwards or another progressive wins the presidency will be a huge fight, and we have to start today: We're launching Victory 2008, an ambitious drive to win the White House. We'll build strength in key neighborhoods, create cutting-edge tools for volunteers, and design the most sophisticated voter turnout effort progressives have ever run."

<snip>

"Now, here are the full results from the Virtual Town Hall vote (remember, this does not imply a MoveOn endorsement):

Sen. Barack Obama 28% www.BarackObama.com
Sen. John Edwards 25% www.JohnEdwards.com
Rep. Dennis Kucinich 17% www.Kucinich.us
Gov. Bill Richardson 12% www.RichardsonForPresident.com
Sen. Hillary Clinton 11% www.HillaryClinton.com
Sen. Joe Biden 6% www.JoeBiden.com
Sen. Chris Dodd 1% www.ChrisDodd.com

These candidates' views differed in quite a few areas, but they all rejected President Bush's plan and agreed that it's time to start bringing the troops home. Imagine what it would mean to have an anti-war candidate in the White House. Think about it."

This shows what I've been saying for a long time....THE BASE, the ones that vote, and the ones that get everyone else out to vote, don't support Hillary. The Hillary fan club is mostly coming from the mainstream rightwing media, and some independents who know her more by name recognition than by her policies.

Hillary has the money and the machine, and she may pull it out. But I don't think it's the die-hard dems that WANT her there...but someone sure does.

1. I don't believe anything that MoveOn says anymore.

Have lost complete faith in that organization.

2. It's interesting that both parties are going through this this time around

I thought both Barack and Edwards did very good; I thought Kucinich did poorly. Shows what I know I guess.

5. You need to update your OP....

Edwards and Richardson beat Obama in the tally of those who were motivated to ACTUALLY ATTEND A HOUSE PARTY. There's a distinction :D
