Latest Dem Poll: Clark Still in the Lead
Here are the latest CNN poll numbers on the Democratic candidates. Clark led the group with 21 to Dean's 16, however, last time around Clark was at 22% and Dean at 13%. So Dean went up a point while Clark went down a point. Here's the rest:
Clark was followed by former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean with 16 percent, Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman had 13 percent, Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry with 13 percent and Missouri Rep. Dick Gephardt with 8 percent. The field was rounded out with activist Al Sharpton at 6 percent, former Illinois Sen. Carol Moseley Braun with 4 percent, North Carolina Sen. John Edwards with 2 percent and Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich with 2 percent.
The debate is not bad, we're watching now (probably a rerun.) We like Clark, Dean and Edwards the best. Kerry just doesn't move us and he harps on his Vietnam war service too much. Gephardt and Lieberman are too much like "your father's oldsmobile." Sharpton, Mosley Braun and Kucinich all add to the discourse, and we're glad they're there, but we just can't take their candidacies very seriously.
There was lots of ganging up on Clark. Moderator Judy Woodruff talked too much. Lieberman didn't do himself any favors by bashing Hollywood.
