Results of the Common Iowa Presidential Straw Poll

About a month ago, I posted a poll asking who do you support to be the Democratic nominee for President in 2008.

In the past, these polls have been somewhat of a decent showing of what readers of this blog thought. However, this poll caught on with supporters from the Dodd, Richardson, and Edwards campaigns and the results are skewed in that direction. The interesting thing however, is that many of the people who voted for Chris Dodd seemed to come to the site from Facebook. The poll was posted on a Richardson blog and that drove much of his votes. I couldn't find any pattern that showed where the Edwards supporters came from. There was 905 votes in the poll.

Here are the results...

1. Chris Dodd 43%
2. John Edwards 30%
3. Bill Richardson 11%
4. Barack Obama 7%
5. Hillary Clinton 2%
6. Joe Biden 2%
7. Dennis Kucinich 1%
8. Mike Gravel 0%

Could be that folks are finally starting to recognize our best choices don't come from the 'first tier'. For example, 1 in 8 Americans are veterans...1 in 8 democratic candidates truly understands what that means. Go Dodd!
