Sen. Obama Wins Democracy for Texas Presidential Poll

   

December 17th, 2007

     

Senator Barack Obama, with 32% of the vote, is the winner of our first Presidential poll, followed closely by former Senator John Edwards, with 29%.  With a combined 61% of the vote, it's clear that DFT supporters know a progressive candidate when they see one!  See the complete results here. Why did so many DFTers support Obama?  Here is a sample of your comments: "Obama is the one who puts principle above winning, whose style is that of a statesman and who can unite the country and rise above partisanship." "Obama has the unique experience, vision, and character to unite our divided nation, restore America's standing in the world, and inspire a new generation of community activists, organizers, and leaders." "I find the same kind of optimism in Barack that I did many years ago in our beloved John Kennedy. We need a change and to greet the future with energy and hope." "Obama inspires me and gives me hope that the status quo in D.C. will really change." Our congratulations to Senator Obama - now let's see what happens in Iowa!                    Your DFT Steering Committee - Erik Azulay, Glen Maxey, Mark McCulloch, Karl-Thomas Musselman, and Fran Vincent P.S. It's not too late to donate $5 or $10 to help offset DFT's costs in running this poll.
