Brownstoner Democratic Primary Results

Of the 393 readers who voted Democratic in our online poll yesterday, 51% opted for the senator from Illinois.

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.

2:09,
How is 12:19’s comment about Israel hate mongering? His comment critized the creation of a nation, an opinion to which he is entitled. Had he made anti-Semitic comments I would have agreed with you 100%. We have to be careful not to mix critism of Israel with racism against the Jewish people. The are not necessarily one and the same.
2:46- you are such a one-issue bore.
2:25- I beg to differ. the swiftboaters were shown to be the the fiction spouters by a whole lot of official documentation, including military records and men who actually served with him. If anyone tried to misrespresent anything, it was the swiftboaters who made a crusade of character assassination of a Vietnam Veteran and war hero. Funny, they only did so during Bush’s second election campaign- if Kerry’s record was such an issue over the years, they should have been screaming about it since he got his medals. A little too politically expedient if you ask me.
Wow, Montrose, your 1:27 post was only three lines long! I never thought I’d see the day where you expressed a viewpoint in less than 15,000 words. With miracles like this, maybe Kucinich can win.
Nice of you to point that out for 2:21, 2:31–and to refrain from calling him the fucktard that he is.
2:09 – a black and a jew? – keep dreaming

Actually, Bloomberg has been a life long Democrat all his life. He changed to the Republican ticket in order to run for Mayor of NY since the Democrat contenders were crowded with people and he also received endorsement Giuliani from the after math of 9/11. While in office he has voted like a Democrat on just about everything, with a few exceptions when he handed out party rules for the Republicans. He has always been a Republican on paper only.
“the term “swiftboating” did not come from a Democratic political tactic”
Perhaps not, but misrepresenting the claims of the “Swiftboaters” who claimed that Kerry exaggerated his military record did.
if you are referring to bloomberg, 2:11 he was a republican up until a year ago and is now independent.
certainly not a “big city dem”
you need to do some more big city reading.
