MoveOn Members Lift Obama Into First Place (Updated)

Here are the full results from MoveOn's Virtual Town Hall vote (remember, this does not imply a MoveOn endorsement):

Sen. Barack Obama 28%
Sen. John Edwards 25%
Rep. Dennis Kucinich 17%
Gov. Bill Richardson 12%
Sen. Hillary Clinton 11%
Sen. Joe Biden 6%
Sen. Chris Dodd 1%

I would have thought John Edwards would be stronger than this. Well like they said, this isn't equivalent to an endorsement from MoveOn.

UPDATE: But wait -- there's more! MoveOn members who watched the Town Hall at one of the parties voted differently from those who did not. Here are how the folks who attended the event ranked their choices:

Sen. John Edwards 25%
Gov. Bill Richardson 21%
Sen. Barack Obama 19%
Rep. Dennis Kucinich 15%
Sen. Joe Biden 10%
Sen. Hillary Clinton 7%
Sen. Chris Dodd 4%

Good news for Edwards, Richardson, Biden and Dodd. Not so good for Obama and Clinton -- the two front runners.

Wow, a drop of one-third for Obama viewers (John's numbers remain the same for both groups). Unless there's some selection bias for watchers, sounds like a very bad single performance for Obama.

I wonder if he has a problem with the audience, rather than the other way 'round?

Richardson's nine point gain seems to have hurt Obama the most.

I will tell you that the people I know in Louisiana who like Edwards the most REALLY like Richardson even more.

I think the younger demographic of YouTube watchers gave Obama the boost over those that attended house parties.

The reviews I read said Obama was a bit flat, Edwards down right "eloquent" and Rishardson came out more stridently anti-war than anyone.
