[finnman69]

It's a race to the left.

[ewing]

Moseley Braun had 7021 votes for 2%..

Go Dean!

Dopier than Mondale with all the sexiness of Dukakis.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Kerry knew he would lose, that's why he was dumping on the poll while it was going on.

[ewing]

Who is fruity enough to be Deans running mate?

[dead]

Moonbeam.

[ewing]

Kerry actually was advertising banners on Yahoo.com for support and people to vote for him in the primary..

[JohnnyZ]

We need to get Dean up to 50% so he'll get that PAC money and become the front-runner :)

[ewing]

Isnt Jerry Brown running for mayor of Oakland?

[COBOL2Java]

Who is fruity enough to be Deans running mate?

Mondale! He's tanned, he's rested, he's ready!!

[kipj]

This is wonderful news. The further the rats move to the left, the lesser their chances are for winning anything. It's just a damn shame that Sharpton is not in the running.

[DPB101]

Who is fruity enough to be Deans running mate?

Ben "The Tutti Frutti Commie" Cohen of Ben & Jerry's fame.

[mykdsmom]

EDWARDS 10146 3.19%

BWAHAHAHA!!!!!

[NeoCaveman]

SHARPTON 1677 0.53%

Damn racist Democrats, those votes for Sharpton were probably mostly Republicans

[Republican Wildcat]

In the runoff...Go Kucinich!

[Constitution Day]

EDWARDS 10146 3.19%

Heh heh!!!!
Makes you think all those trial lawyers financing his campaign just might be throwing their $$$ away. < grins >

[beckett]

Rob Reiner (aka Meathead) shilled for Dean on Charlie Rose last week, touting a Dean/Clarke ticket on the theory that Clarke can compensate for Dean's rabid hatred of all things military. If Reiner is a bellweather for the mood of Hollywood -- a not unlikely assumption given his respected position in that community -- it bodes well for Bush, because it means Hollywood will be wasting its campaign dollars on a thoroughly unelectable candidate.

[FryingPan101]

Thanks for the post. This is too funny. Bunchajerks. The fact that Al Sharpton is even considered a candidate make the whole Dim party a big joke.

[defeat_the_dem_igods]

More importantly, how much revenue did it generate for moveon.org, how many email addresses were obtained, how many hotmail and yahoo addresses will now go un-answered?

[eureka!]

snicker

[rocky88]

I am not at all impressed by the outcome of a measley 297,000 votes... but it's nice to know that whatever money moveon.org has will go to Dean. What a waste to throw money at an anti-war candidate during the War on Terror. These people are stupid!!! Keep 'em comin!

[2rightsleftcoast]

I was watching this on FOX and Susan Estritch was speaking of Sharpton and said " if only he was white he would have a chance" or something to that effect. That is a perfect example of the lefts phoniness IMHO. If a right wing commentator made that comment he would lose his job. When will black population wake up to the fact Dems are not your friends. I am going to write FOX and ask why host did not jump all over her for that comment.

[ConservativeDude]

those votes for Sharpton were probably mostly Republicans

more specifically, most likely from freepers....

[CholeraJoe]

Sharpton's major constituency doesn't have internet access. Obvious, blatant discrimination.

[mushroom]

According to the Supreme Court, shouldn't Sharpton have gotten something like 13% of the vote. Since he didn't, does this mean that Democrats are racist? Even more important, isn't this a hate crime?

[OREALLY]

CNN's Paul Begala

[LdSentinal]

Where's the million votes that MoveOn said they would get?

BTW, congrats to Dean. The Fedayeen wing of the Democratic party is very active.

[CapandBall]

Dean ping, the far left love this guy.

[PeoplesRep_of_LA]

apparently the Left got the memo that the GOP wanted to support Sharpton and a running away. That, or people who vote Democrate are inherently racist phonies.

and Natural Law KUCINICH is in 2nd? God really has blessed America again.

Leiberman is their only candidate who can make a reasonable case to the American people(read: non Left), every other one of these loons is going to damage the DNC's Congressional races as well as humiliate the party. Thank you God.

[L.N. Smithee]

I couldn't find this on ABC News. Do you have a precise link?

I am very interested to know if a major news organization takes an internet poll seriously.

[ItsOurTimeNow]

Am I the only one who's slightly uneasy about Dean's increasing populartiy?

We can't approach 2004 with such a high degree of Bush Confidence...I'd hate to be blindsided by the "unspoken" Left. Now, more than ever, we can't lose sight, we can't lose steam, and we can't let our guards down even for a moment.

"Voter Fraud" will be huge on election day 2004. We need to do what we can to prepare for this.

I cannot fathom this country being steered with Dean at the helm. It gives me nightmares.

[Chairman Fred]

It'll be Dean - Kucinich: the Fruitcake and the Fruit Bat.

[ReaganWarrior]

Most interesting result of poll--Lieberman polled so low. This may further cause establishment leaders and funders to think about telling him his time has come and gone, and sending him out to share a pasture with Gore.

[ewing]

ABC's the Note has been running updates on this all week long.

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

ROTFLMAO! In the interest of greater diversity we the Supreme Court of the land do hereby overturn all election laws and demand points be given to minority candidates.

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

and Natural Law KUCINICH is in 2nd?

Kucinich is a Democrat, always was...
well actually he's a communist but that's obvious.with.

[lonewacko_dot_com]

Obviously all the votes for Sharpton were not counted. This is an obvious attempt by Dean supporters - aided and abetted by the Secretary of the Internet - to steal this Internet primary. Without a doubt, TCP/IP packets nominating someone other than Dean were hijacked and modified to support Dean!

I demand a recount!

COUNT ALL THE VOTES!
COUNT ALL THE VOTES!
COUNT ALL THE VOTES!
COUNT ALL THE VOTES!

[Mike Darancette]

Dean and Kucinich(D-MARS) garnered over 67% of the vote ---- BWaaaaHaaaHaaa

[PeoplesRep_of_LA]

Kucinich is a Democrat, always was...

Well, the Natural Law Party website promotes him. He's an ideological soulmate of the Natural Law kooks. I think that party should tag him whereever he goes, if people knew how insane those types were then they'd REALLY dislike that so called adult.

[JohnnyZ]

Am I the only one who's slightly uneasy about Dean's increasing populartiy?

Yes. Have you seen this guy? No way he can win more than 5 states. He's a joke.

[BillyBoy]

I see the racist Dims threw out all the Sharpton votes from anyone who wasn't a party regular. Nice try guys, you won't have that luxery when the REAL primary comes around and the GOP gets revenge in those "McCain" states.

We know you racist Dims HATE the idea of black people having any position of power in your party (and ALWAYS have!) but we're gonna make you RESPECT your black powerbrokers, one way or another.

[MurryMom]

Dudes, we need to all give money to the Dean campaign and make sure he's the nominee!

MurryMom cast her vote for Sen. Edwards in the MoveOn.com primary, but is ready to put up Dean signs all over Murrysville when and if Gov. Dean takes on the Smirking Chimp next November. It's one way to stop the permanent Bush Recession!

All contributions to the Dean and/or Edwards campaigns are sincerely appreciated. Thanks for your efforts on our behalf!

[joef]

Ya know, Dean may seem "unelectable" to you...

But he's getting people who didn't even vote last time interested. And a good chunk of those people have decided to vote for ANY dem in 2004, because they want to see Bush out.

If Bush lost the popular vote last time, and now he's energizing more Dems to get going, that doesn't bode well for him.

And of course, if Dean does win (which is more possible than you'd all like to think), wouldn't that make all your attempt to "freep" the campaign look pretty foolish?

Perosnally, I'd love to see a Dean commecial that says "Paid for by the crew at freerepublic.com". That'd be fun. You guys could be like all the guys that voted for Nader.
