The Vermont Democratic Party is taking a straw poll of Democratic presidential candidates from now through July 30. Anyone is free to vote, regardless of party preference -- but only once, of course.
The choices are Biden, Clinton, Dodd, Edwards, Gravel, Kucinich, Obama, Richardson, Other and None. You can find links to Web sites for each candidate (except Other and None) at
this link to the poll if you want to study up before voting.
Democratic Party Chairman Ian Carleton said the party is conducting the poll "to provide the campaigns with a measure of support in Vermont." He promises to release the results to the press (that's me), the candidates and the Democratic National Party.
In the meantime, any predictions about who will come out on top?
