I've written about a few of the impromptu straw polls held on Air America Radio's The Thom Hartmann Program in the last couple of weeks. He held another one today at a different hour on a different day, but he got results that were much the same.
[Excerpt]
Who would you vote for if the election were held today?
Senator John Edwards 38
Congressman Dennis Kucinich 27
Senator Hilary Clinton 4
Senator Barack Obama 3
Gov. Bill Richardson 2
Senator Chris Dodd 2
Senator Joe Biden 1
Former VP Al Gore 1
Congressman Ron Paul 1
Former Pres. Jimmy Carter 1

I still wonder what this all means. I get how Dennis Kucinich polls so high--this is after all a liberal talk show, and Kucinich represents the most liberal person running. And, Kucinich (like Ron Paul) has a rabid pack of fans, even if there are apparently not enough of them to win the prize. But what's up with Edwards (my pick, by the way)? This primary campaign could be a lot more interesting than we thought it would be.
