Obama wins MoveOn.org's Town Hall vote on Iraq
by From MoveOn.org's recent candidate Town Hall:
Senator Barack Obama led a field of seven Democratic presidential hopefuls in MoveOn.org Political Action's straw poll on the question "Which candidate do you believe would be best able to lead the country out of Iraq?" Obama received 27.87% of the total votes cast and was followed closely by former Senator John Edwards who garnered 24.74%.
What's interesting is that among MoveOn members who did NOT attend/watch the Town Hall, Edwards was the winner on getting out of Iraq, with Richardson second and Obama in third. So what did Obama say to convince folks? Hillary did not inspire confidence among this group to get us out of Iraq, but MoveOn is the same group that helped bring Howard Dean to prominence in 2003 because Dean had a strong anti-war platform.
Click here to listen.
MoveOn member vote, overall:
Obama 27.87%
Edwards 24.84
Kucinich 17.18
Richardson 12.26
Clinton 10.70
Biden 6.19
Dodd 1.05
The membership vote was conducted during the 24 hours following the organization's Tuesday night Virtual Town Hall at which the contenders answered members' questions about US policy in Iraq.
Anyone who was a MoveOn member as of 7 pm EST Tuesday, April 10th was eligible to vote. Members did not have to listen to the Town Hall to vote.

They would let a disaster happen
These surrender artist candidates are a disgrace.
I certainly hope the United States doesn't become an "Obama'nation".
A President's foremost responsibility is commander in chief and national security should be his focus. None of those candidates have any credible national security or military experience that bolsters confidence. These guys just want to surrender and capitulate in negotiations with people who are hostile to the United States.
That said, George Bush is a failure and if he doesn’t get busy winning the war and securing our borders, then his lack of results will guarantee we will become an "Obama'nation"!
