Remembering that this is from MoveOn which is a progressive PAC, it is interesting to see who members thought "won" the debate about who is best to lead the country out of Iraq.
MoveOn poses two versions of who the "winners" are, however both methods of measurement below are not without problems. In the first case, those who attended parties were likely to already be supporting candidates (or were influenced by other factors at the party) and, in the second case, those who polled on-line may not have actually listened to any of the candidates positions in casting their votes (and/or may also have previously decided). Additionally, I have no idea how big the sample sizes are among the two groups.
Those caveats aside, MoveOn members who watched the Town Hall at one of the parties voted differently from those who did not. Here are how the folks who attended the event ranked their choices:
Sen. John Edwards 25%
Gov. Bill Richardson 21%
Sen. Barack Obama 19%
Rep. Dennis Kucinich 15%
Sen. Joe Biden 10%
Sen. Hillary Clinton 7%
Sen. Chris Dodd 4%
Those responding to an onsite poll about the Virtual Town Hall voted [based on persons who listened or watched the VTHM after the fact]:
Sen. Barack Obama 28% http://www.barackobama.com/
