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.
republicans scare me.
I think most republicans in the state of NY couldn’t care less about creationism.
The fact that there are folks in other states of the union who hold religious convictions different than those prevalent in the Big Apple does not mean that they should be denied a voice or denigrated.
Who has a louder voice than Al Sharpton? I think he is at least as wacky as some of the fundamentalists. But he’s from here so we are used to him.
There is a strong tendency among big-city Dems to demonize and marginalize those with whom they disagree. I find it one of the least attractive traits of the modern liberal. I think it may be one of the reasons why they are so good at losing elections.

“If Republicans want to teach creationism, they should just send their kids to private schools instead of destroying the separation of Church and State.”
But, that’s the rub isn’t it? Most of the Republicans are either very wealthy or very poor in Middle America. They can’t afford private schools are even have private schools in their little hilly villages and incorporated towns. There answer to everything is pray your way out of financial ruin, peer inadequacies.
1:06, what about this guy?

The reason most Republicans belive in Creationism, is because they are not evolving.
Most people who’d I’d consider to have moved up the human evolution chain a bit are Democrats.
12:58, did I miss the fundamentalist Christian ranting on this board, or did you just make that up because it’s easier to denounce than actual, real-life people who don’t share your world-view?

Che certainly was responsible for killing thousands in Cuba during the early days of the Castro coup he then killed many thousands more in his forays in Peru and Bolivia. He was not a nice person although he was photogenic and cool. Many liberal democrats in NYC were rooting for his team back in the 60’s, some still are.
12:47pm Oh now, don’t get your panties in bunch over your embarrassment and shame being a Republican. Radical Christians and Neo-Conservatives and Republicans are all the same thing and you know it. You’re trying to split hairs.
If Republicans want to teach creationism, they should just send their kids to private schools instead of destroying the separation of Church and State. That’s just one example of radical fundamentalist Christians attempting to bring back the Dark Ages to the US.
I have a theory as to why Che is such a hero.
Are you ready for this Montrosse?
He was really nice-looking and sexy with his long locks and he had a great name.
He couldn’t love somebody named “Che”.
Sure he murdered thousands and many who knew him think he was truly sadistic, but he was sooo cute. He had true chic.
