Straw Polls
By Byron LaMasters
At the Dean Meetup this week, the organizers announced straw polls held at Labor Day events in Dallas and Hays Counties. The results were interesting. Dallas County had Dean with 46% followed by Clark with 11%. Hays County straw poll had Dean at 62% and Clark with 23%. All other candidates in both polls were in the single digits. To me, this tells me two things.
1) Howard Dean has extraordinary support from the grassroots base of the Democratic Party unrivaled by anyone.
2) Wesley Clark could easly catapult into second place in the polls should he enter the race. He's already there in terms of the size of his Meetup and in straw polls.
Note: I wrote the numbers down quickly at the meeting, so if they are incorrect, I apologize and would apreciate a correction. Any other straw polls in Texas recently?
