In 2003 MoveOn issued a poll in the presidential race. Saying they wanted a true majority, they claimed that they would continue to run the poll until one candidate received at least +50% of the vote. In the first run, no one came very close, but I believe Dean was leading at around 30% or so. The second time, Dean slipped and Kucinich started to gain rapidly. The poll was not repeated after that. MoveOn, like too many Americans, has no real faith in democracy or in our ability to make positive change through political risk. It's a cynical organization, well suited to our cynical times.
