Howard Dean won the MoveOn.org presidential primary going away, 44 percent to Dennis Kucinich's 24 percent and John Kerry's 16. For what it's worth, etc.

    guess Bush can finish unpacking.

  2. Sean   22 years ago

    Since no candidate reached 50%, MoveOn says it won’t endorse any candidate. So where is all the PAC money they collected going?

  3. Anonymous   22 years ago

    so much for majority vote

  4. Anonymous   22 years ago

    or the popular vote

  5. The Lonewacko Blog   22 years ago

    Al Sharpton only got 1677 votes, or 0.53%. Obviously, Dean supporters – aided and abetted by the Secretary of the Internet – intercepted TCP/IP packets nominating those other than Dean and modified them for their nefarious ends. And, there’s that strange Internet outage in Florida.

    If pResident Select Dean thinks he can pull this off, he’s got another thing coming! I demand a recount!

    Count all the votes!
    Count all the votes!
    Count all the votes!

    [If you can do better, let’s hear it.]

    How would a Dean administration compare to the current administration of shrub?

  7. gallup   22 years ago

    Why worry about it, Croez! Online “votes” are as reliable as plastic forks.

  8. jacob   22 years ago

    “Al Sharpton only got 1677 votes, or 0.53%. Obviously, Dean supporters blah blah”

    no, not neccesarily. mit could just mean that moveon.com users have only mildly bas taste and not atrocious taste

  9. arjay   22 years ago

    Wonder which one we will get, since Dubya is finished due to Iraqui quaqmire. Does anyone doubt it?

  10. nodiff   22 years ago

    Dubya ain’t finished by a long shot. Watch those WMD’s turn up at just the right time. Keep a close eye on that development.

  11. Douglas Fletcher   22 years ago

    “How would a Dean administration compare to the current administration of shrub?”

    Badly, I think.

  12. Anonymous   22 years ago

    Don’t even entertain the thought, Doug. It’s an INTERNET POLL, for heaven’s sake!

  13. caveman   22 years ago

    The nation’s first Libertarian PRESIDENT!?

    Did I miss something?

    Holy trogledyte! I must’ve been drugged and stuck in a cave somewhere, during the 4 years (or was it 8) that he was in office.

  14. caveman   22 years ago

    I MUST have been drugged. I can’t even spell!

    (Trogl-o-dyte)

  15. James Merritt   22 years ago

    Let’s remember that the nation’s first Libertarian president, Harry Browne, started out by winning a few online polls, so let’s not be so quick to dismiss their significance.
