TX Dems poll

[DaHoot]

I just got an e-mail with the results of the poll taken online from the Texas Democratic Party and thought y'all would be interested in them. Sorry if this is a dupe.

Edwards 37.65%
Obama 21.37%
Clinton 20.43%
Kucinich 11.88%
Richardson 5.17%
Biden 2.41%
Gravel 0.8%
Dodd 0.3%

1. WOW! nt

2. When they limit the poll to "Democrats"

and "likely to vote in the primary," Hillary Clinton doesn't do as well as Gallup and Razzie say she does.

6. Except that isn't how the poll was done. Notice the word "online."

3. I saw that poll too and am pleased to report that the Dem

straw poll pulled a 3:1 response over the Repug straw poll.

4. Edwards Is Strong With the Activist Base

....I guess Kucinich doesn't really play well outside Austin. Richardson could do really well here potentially, as could Obama.

7. ...and the activist non-base are good at scoping out online polls.

5. Gee, Maybe Now I'll Feel Better When I Go Back There For My Class

Reunion! Austin goes Democratic, but where I went to school Ft. Hood, TX, or the town of Killeen, my friends there seem to have their head in the sand about THE IDIOT!!

I don't argue with them, and it's a good thing they can't read my mind, but they DO know how I feel! I'm still getting emails about BILL CLINTON! It's so STUPID!

But maybe TX is going back again! When I lived there it was pretty Democratic... in the old days... I'm a Boomer!

9. It's still bad here

But I see more and more people turning from the repugs. I'm not convinced this state is ready to go back to the Democrats yet but with the right candidate I think Texas just might be able to at least be competitive again. Governor Zoolander (as he's know to some of us) only won by less than 10% last election and that was with the whole Kinky Friedman campaign eating some votes I'm sure would have gone Democratic.

8. This looks like an online poll. That's hardly a reliable sampling base.

Maybe I'm misreading it. But this looks like it's not a real poll. I mean, congrats are in order for Edwards for winning among this group of people. But calling it a poll suggests it's a measure of the full electorate.

10. you are correct.
