looks like kucinich is the runaway winner in the straw poll (50% when I checked just now)…hillary clinton didn’t fare too well, even with her fundraising machine moving full steam ahead…
I believe there was an issue with people stuffing the ballot box with votes for Kucinich towards the end of the night. Good thing I took a snap shot of the results before that happened. The thing this reinforces for me is that Hillary is a media driven candidate with no actual grassroots support, just like McCain.
But what will be the actual result? The speculators (those willing to put their money where their mouth is) have Clinton way out in front for both the nomination and the presidency.
People in the media will tell you that, Praguetwin. But the facts are that Edwards is way ahead in Iowa, and second in New Hampshire…and Obama has raised nearly as much money as McClinton. This is a primary race and Hillary is already running a general election campaign, not going to get far like that.
I voted, got instant results, and don’t think it really is going to amount to a hill of beans. Because at the end of the day, the Democrat who is still standing is the one who raises the most money for ads.
I’m just saying that the betting folks are way in favor of Clinton. It is one thing to answer a poll, it is another to put money down on a contract. When money gets involved, the results are “market driven” and consistently outperform polls. When I see cash being wagered on Edwards, I’ll believe he has a chance. Until then…..

Gee, I was told the deadline had passed.

May Hillary continue to sink and Obama rise. Maybe I didn’t read it, but I haven’t heard Edwards backing us out of Iraq.
EDWARDS: I tell you what I support. What I support is sending a bill to the president that provides for a drawdown of the troops [in] Iraq.
I’m just not ready to decide on anyone.

Sad but true.
We’ll see.
