Anti-Climacus

QUOTE: New Democratic Party Frontrunners! From OxBlog:

"FASCINATING. Take a look at the top poll here looking at the race for the Democratic nomination. The CBS News/New York Times poll gave half of the respondents the choice between

Howard Dean, John Edwards, Richard Gephardt, Bob Graham, John Kerry, Dennis Kucinich, Joe Lieberman, Carol Moseley Braun, Al Sharpton, or someone else (with the order of the names rotated).

The other half of the respondents were given the choice between

General Wesley Clark, Dr. Howard Dean, Senator John Edwards, Congressman Richard Gephardt, Senator Bob Graham, Senator John Kerry, Congressman Dennis Kucinich, Senator Joe Lieberman, former Senator Carol Moseley Braun, Reverend Al Sharpton, or someone else (again, with the names rotated).

The differences are astonishing:

(first number without title, second with)
Wesley Clark 14% 10%
Richard Gephardt 5% 15%
Howard Dean 9% 9%
Joe Lieberman 5% 13%
John Kerry 4% 11%
Carol Moseley Braun 7% 1%
Al Sharpton 3% 4%
Bob Graham 3% 3%
John Edwards 1% 3%
Dennis Kucinich 1% 1%
Other 27% 10%
Don't know 21% 20%"

Boy, if I were a supporter of Other or Don't Know, I'd be urging them to get into the race. They'd crush everyone else!
