Brownstoner Democratic Primary Results

Of the 393 readers who voted Democratic in our online poll yesterday, 51% opted for the senator from Illinois. Hillary Clinton came in second with 29% and Edwards a distant third with 15% (there’s something the two areas agreed…
Well, it looks like Barack Obama is more popular in Brownstone Brooklyn than in New Hampshire. Of the 393 readers who voted Democratic in our online poll yesterday, 51% opted for the senator from Illinois. Hillary Clinton came in second with 29% and Edwards a distant third with 15% (there’s something the two areas agreed on). The other most interesting number: 28% of respondents said that they would support Mayor Bloomberg instead if he were to decide to run. Only 7% of respondents reported being Republican. Surprised?
Update: We’ve added a lot more detail on the jump.

Duh! Obviously the important other factor we left out was sex.
“- the buck fush t-shirts, bumper stickers, i-hate-bush-more-than-you-so-i’m-cooler bullshit”
Don’t forget the trust fund babies walking around weating Che t-shirts. as if he would not have taken ALL of their shit and placed 20 families in their brownstones. Of course, he and Fidel would have kept the choicest park block ones for themselves.
“We need Lincoln back!”
Really? You do know that Lincoln suspended habeus corpus, right? maybe that’s where Bush got the idea?
Strap on a gun, 10:58, you’re needed in Afghanistan.
“10:39am You like to listen to yourself talk, don’t you?”
Yes, actually. And it’s a good thing, too, because I hardly meet anyone else around this town who does.
North Sloper, see the 10:39 post about reading comprehension. It should answer your question about “my stance” (I haven’t provided one, I was just explaining which ideas might lead one to vote for Republican).
I’m not a cloistered urban provincial. I’m a cosmopolitan neocon zionist Jew warmonger who thinks this country, and the sliced bread we’ve brought the world, are the best thing since, well, ever.
you must be a stalker 10:54
Mr B
I agree with those prior posters who ask for the full breakdown. We were generous enough to share our race/income etc, now you tell us the results. I know that info is valuable to your advertisers but there’s no harm in posting it here.
Give up the goods Mr. B. We deserve it.
10:39, are you also a cloistered urban provincial? Because you certainly espouse views that would lend support to that position. Nothing to back up your statements, which in effect are gross generalizations, and I could go on and on. You make it sound like Republicans are martyrs, crusading for what we all think is holy in America. Corporate America is doing just fine and if we can force them to give back 1/1,000 of what they make off of the general public, so be it. I take pride in America, and I’m not a Republican. Where does that leave your argument? As for the rest of you “stance,” it’s wholly ridiculous.
wow, 35 posts before 11am. Should hit 100 by lunchtime.
although i prefer a good ol’ fashioned Goldman Sachs/Brooklyn Heights post.
That was a classic, hearing all the Slopers try and say that the Goldman execs were actuallying moving in to their hood.
I’m feeling nostalgic.
So, why don’t some die hard democrats tell us what good they have accomplished in the past 50 years?
What is the signature achievement of the Democratic Party in the post-WWII era? I’m so very curious.
i’m torn. i’m rich, so i like republicans. but i’m not an asshole, so i like democrats. what do i do?
