Obama wins MoveOn.org's Town Hall vote on Iraq

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.
