Friends Of Bill Abandon Hil

MoveOn.org recently put on a "virtual town hall" where prospective presidential candidates (all Democrats) discussed their strategies for the war in Iraq, which essentially boil down to who will pull the plug the fastest. After the meeting, they sponsored an on-line poll asking which candidate their members would now support in 2008.

While such polls are notoriously unreliable, it is interesting to note that the members of an organization that was originally launched to defend Bill Clinton (urging the country to "move on" from that whole perjury thing) have little interest in seeing his wife in the White House. Here are the overall results:

Sen. Barack Obama 28%
Sen. John Edwards 25%
Rep. Dennis Kucinich 17%
Gov. Bill Richardson 12%
Sen. Hillary Clinton 11%
Sen. Joe Biden 6%
Sen. Chris Dodd 1%

Those who actually "attended" the virtual meeting are even less taken with Hillary:

Sen. John Edwards 25%
Gov. Bill Richardson 21%
Sen. Barack Obama 19%
Rep. Dennis Kucinich 15%
Sen. Joe Biden 10%
Sen. Hillary Clinton 7%
Sen. Chris Dodd 4%

Finishing behind Joe Biden? That's gotta sting.
