Political notes from Free Press staff writers Terri Hallenbeck, Sam Hemingway and Nancy Remsen

Pick your favorite Democrat

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?

Comments:
I went to the site and they wanted
personal information which could be used for solicitation, etc., so I didn't vote. Too bad.
 
What an f'ing scam. The equivalent of a poll tax. Sell my personal info so I can vote! unreal!!!
 
There is no way I would cast a vote that way. For me if anyone cares, it is Richardson. He seems to be the only one who makes any rational sense (which probably means he has no chance!)
 
Where can I cast my vote to impeach Shumlin?
 
Daryl Pillsbury for Windham County State Senate!!!
 
Matt Dunne for Governor
 
Terri Hallenbeck for Congress!
 
Obama/Hagel in '08!
 
Peter Shumlin for President! He would enjoy the fresh supply of interns.
 
Richardson is the man!
 
I think Shumlin is a nose ahead.
