MoveOn Primary Results

MoveOn.org PAC has posted the results of its primary. Dean comes in strong with 44%, but he needed 50% to get the nomination.

That's all good though. What's not is the 2nd place finish of Kucinich with 24% of the vote. WTF where they thinking? MoveOn of course represents the firmly left, but Kicinich? You could not build a better parody of the worst aspects of liberal America. Its like his sole purpose is the make the left look bad. Look at him, he's half man half rat. And filled with retarded ideas to boot. Didn't Cleveland go bankrupt when he was the mayor? Not to mention he was firmly anti-choice until about a minute before he announced his candidacy... Get this clown off the stage before he embarrasses us all. Please.

Kerry came in 3rd and he's not much better. All you need to do is look at him to know he's not fit to be president in the 21st century. You know, that time period where people have TV and actually have to look at candidates? I'm firmly convinced that if Kerry gets the nomination then the next 4 years are Bush's to lose. Thankfully Bush seems to be pretty good at failing, but I'm not counting on anything.

Sharpton came in dead last, which is sort of surprising. These are liberals voting, thought he go overwell. Course the voting is online, which means these are mainly white liberals. Bet there is a lot more unconscious racism then they'd like to admit...

I think Kucinich's performance shows a real hunger for a liberal candidate among MoveOn's constituency (as indeed does Dean's). Dean is only really a liberal by comparison to our other major choices (he's what used to be called a moderate). Kucinich is playing to role of the real liberal (whether that's accurate or not).

I see the MoveOn results as a very positive thing indicating an emerging organization among liberal voters, essential to reverse our sldie toward becoming a one-party state.

Most definitely. Better yet it looks like raising money on internet might actually make the process a bit more democratic. Lets hope it holds...
