Posted by D. Cupples | Though I'm not a member, I was invited to the annual Alachua County Democrats' dinner in Gainesville, Florida last night (and I had a nice time). A straw poll was conducted and 412 people (presumably democrats) voted for their favorite democratic presidential candidates. I don't know what the poll results mean, but the results are below:
# of Votes %of Votes
Hillary Clinton 133 32.3%
Barack Obama 91 22.1%
John Edwards 73 17.4%
Dennis Kucinich 49 11.9%
Bill Richardson 40 9.7%
Joe Biden 17 4.1%
Mike Gravel 5 1.2%
Chris Dodd 4 1.0%
For what it's worth, this Gainesville crowd is known as progressive -- though, I know many of the people who were there, and not all of them actually were.
