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.
What does being black have to do with anything?
Che did not slaughter thousands of people, although he would have if given the chance, and he certainly would have killed most of us.
and to the people who keep lumping neo-cons and christian rights, they are really different subgroups of the republican party, so you are only displaying your ignorance.
“10:58. You scare me. Why don’t you pull out those Uzis while you’re at it. And defend your brownstone.”
Don’t worry, it’s not you I’m after, drowsy sloper. I live in a Williamsburg wood-frame, full of nice original details like a coal shoot, and well, that’s it–not a brownstone. The house is just a few blocks from where my grandparents landed after narrowly escaping the fate of a very likely and very likely nasty European death. Then they escaped Williamsburg for Queens. What a country!
Also, Uzis are for suckers. This is the last word in effective home defense:

12:19pm Well said. I agree 100% with you. That’s why I’m an “Independent”.
“The only real things done were appointing minorities – not a bad thing but hardly an “accomplishment”
You’re in denial.
