Kos Readers’ Bizarre Attraction
Over at Daily Kos they polled the readers for their 2008 presidential preferences. Totally unscientific, but a measure of what the fanatic left is thinking. The result: not good for John Kerry!
Daily Kos community poll. 7/19.
8,027 respondents. (6/20 results)Clark 34 (26)
No Freakin’ Clue 13 (17)
Clinton 10 (10)
Feingold 10 (10)
Edwards 7 (8)
Warner 5 (5)
Richardson 4 (4)
Other 4 (7)
Biden 3 (3)
Kerry 2 (2)
Bayh 2 (2)
Vilsack 0 (0)
(the first column are the new 7/19 results; the numbers in parens are from a month ago. Dean and Gore weren’t eligible because they have not expressed any interest in running.
Maybe Kerry’s problem is his uninspiring website (see our “Writers! I Want More Clichés!“).
This lead for Clark is in contrast with Patrick Ruffini’s 2008 Presidential Wire, which ranks candidates by MSM + blog buzz (basically, mentions). In their “Overall Leaders” tally, the order among Dems is Kerry, Clinton, Edwards, Richardson, Biden, then others. Clark is #12.
Our own search at Blogpulse (click here to do it yourself) shows blog buzz about Kerry and Clinton roughly tied, and Clark at close to zero.
The most recent news item we could find about Clark was a pronouncement in Indianapolis that “It’s imperative to expand the dialogue about interoperable communications among public safety officials.” No anti-globalization red meat for the Kos crowd there!
Sure, buzz doesn’t equal a vote, especially in a poll over three years before an election. But something is going on with the Clark bandwagon at Kos. Are the fanatics still looking for a Kerryesque electable stiff, this time with a general’s stars? Or lining up behind Roger Moore’s bizarre support of Clark? Or is something else going on? Weird.
