4. Interesting and thank you as I missed this poll. BTW my scores

on the political compass test you posted...

Economic -5.00
Political -5.18

Close to Dalai Lama :)

[LWolf]

27. Great news!

:toast:

[Individualist]

2. K&R

[TreasonousBastard]

3. Yeah, well, I went to two DFA meetings...

the second one to see if maybe I was wrong about them.

I wasn't.

A rep from the county Democratic party went to one meeting and didn't bother to give them a second chance.

[KoKo]

5. So...what is wrong with them?

:shrug:

[TahitiNut]

9. They suffer under the delusion that politicians should serve the interests of people

... instead of vice versa. Damned radicals.

[TreasonousBastard]

20. Well, the short list...

They didn't know anything about the local party organization

They had no plans for actual work during an upcoming election-- signage, GOTV... all got "Wuzzat?" looks,

The meeting opened with "So, who will we get to run for the Senate seat?" Completely oblivious to the thousands of Party regulars who were already dealing with the major politicking for an empty Senate seat.

And, there was almost a fistfight. That's when the county party rep left.

[KoKo]

21. Sound's like my experience with my Red going to Purple Southern State...

and some of us have wondered about the DFA.....but then "some of us" were horrified at the antiquated facilities (computers/software) of our Dem Party Locals.

Dean did infuse some money but some of our Voting Rights (against DRE Machines) Activists have been suspicious of the motives of the DFA...because they seemed so "well funded" but somehow "so clueless" as to the MAJOR ISSUES facing the Democratic Party!

:shrug:

6. Although I am not involved with the organization I'm still happy

to see Dennis get some recognition in their poll.

[cooolandrew]

12. From all I hear they helped get many Democrats elected in 06, sounds good to me.

[Fly by night]

7. No doubt due to the "shit or get off the pot" email that DFA sent out about Gore.

Thanks for nothing, DFA fuck-wads.

Gore/Richardson '08. That's the ticket.

[Uncle Joe]

18. I saw this coming, the minute they altered their own poll,

with that second graph and the statement as to how the candidates would do if Al Gore didn't run, and for the record Kucinich is my second - third favorite candidate. I believe Al Gore's momentum was building up only to be snuffed by that change, had that not occurred, I believe Al Gore's lead would've continued to widen from the pack.

8. w00t

[JTFrog]

10. Now that would make a helluva ticket. Gore/DK n/t.

[cooolandrew]

11. It's like his campaign is gathering speed by the second it's exciting to watch.

[Stop Cornyn]

13. That's because Kucinich has a better chance of winning the nomination; he is, after all, a candidate

[slipslidingaway]

14. Thanks for the K&R's. Here are the updated results FWIW

15. If Gore isn't running

DK is the best candidate.

[riqster]

16. What you said. nt

[LindainCinci]

24. Let's just Hope Gore Will Run, because he is the Best Possible

to move us forward with Progressive policy, excellent vision and all the recent polls show he can also win the General Election!

Too bad they didn't list him officially.

He's been doing GREAT, especially having to WRITE HIM IN! He's been on top for a couple weeks.

19. Good!

[Didereaux]

22. pretty much shows the value of the poll.......zip-zero-nada & zilch

[eridani]

28. The poll represents phonebankers and doorbellers and issue activists

--not, obviously, the general electorate.

[BattyDem]

23. If someone had to overtake him, I'm glad it was DK.

Go Dennis! :applause:

:bounce:

29. polling better than someone who isn't in the race?

Kucinich fans have to cling to something I guess... ;)

Actually, I'd love to see Kucinich get it, but he's got a long way to go.
