Okay, we've had "yes, no, or maybe" polls about Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Wesley Clark, Barack Obama, and Al Gore. I don't have any idea who I'm going to support in the primary (note to others: that does not, necessarily, mean that I am looking to be convinced just yet), though it seems like Dennis Kucinich may have some support here that isn't showing quite yet.

The poll system at Daily Kos is too limited, because we can only choose one answer to one question. I think we'd benefit from knowing more about how we collectively feel about the presidential hopefuls.

So I'll start this off by asking about HRC. If other people add similar diaries with polls on other candidates, I'll edit and link to them. Ideally, we should have the same wording on question and answers for each candidate.

So... nominate Dennis Kucinich?

P.S. Apologies in advance if I misspelled his name; I'll go back and fix it as soon as someone lets me know, if that's the case.

This morning, I woke up feeling much better than I have in a very long time. I imagine I'll feel much the same way on January 3rd, when the 110th Congress is officially sworn in, and the real work begins.

However, let us not forget those members of our community, and our allies, who will not be joining them. Let us also not forget that we have another election coming up in "just" two years' time, and that it will be here before anyone expects it. With this in mind, I would like to tell you a true story that I think offers a few lessons for a game plan for the next couple of years (and, hopefully, beyond). Read More

In a brilliant piece in today's Washington Post, Harold Meyerson rips the "moderate" line that New England GOP senators love to describe themselves with to shreds. Seems the MSM is finally starting to get it: "moderate" is nothing but an illusion for even those Republicans who would likely be welcomed here with open arms -- if they switched party.

Here's a link, if you'd like. (free registration probably required -- definitely worth it)

I don't know what the rules are on diarying about news items that have yet to be printed, but it's up online so I guess that makes it fair game. (yeah, I know, I'm still a little wet behind the ears. Gimme a break, check my UID if you need to know)

Anyway, the Washington Post is running a very interesting poll piece tomorrow. It's a bit of a mixed bag, really, but has some good news for us.

I'm a Marylander (at least when I'm not away at school), so I've obviously been watching this race rather intently. There is one aspect of this race, particulary the Democratic primary, which I find very troubling. For those who don't know, right now there are two front-runners polling neck and neck, Kweisi Mfume and Ben Cardin, with several other candidates who rarely get more than a percentage point or two. These others include Allan Lichtman, Josh Rales, and a host of others that I can't remember right now.

Here's my problem: Why aren't these people campaigning where they should be? Read More

So, after a few hours, it appears that about 7% of registered Kossacks have voted on the FP straw poll. While that may be dismal turnout by some standards, it seems that the results have been fairly stable for much of that period.

This raises the question in my mind: of the four prospective candidates who have garnered the most support in the FP poll, who's your pick and why?

For quick reference, these are:

Feingold
Clark
Edwards
Warner

...we have Alan Schlesinger. (Ever hear of him? I sure haven't, not on this site anyway... not that I'm surprised by that one) I don't live in Connecticut, and I will admit to not paying much attention to the race outside of the Democratic primary. Let's face it, that's where all the fireworks are. That all said, I think it's worth taking a quick look at what Schlesinger's been doing lately... or rather, should I say, what he did last decade.
