I'd been expecting to see this for some time now. From CNS News:
In an unscientific poll released Thursday, the liberal activist group MoveOn.org revealed that its members believe Sen. Barack Obama is the best choice to lead the country out of Iraq. Presumed Democratic 2008 frontrunner Sen. Hillary Clinton lagged far behind.
he Illinois Democrat earned 28 percent of members' support in the organization's "virtual town hall vote" held online this week.
Former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina and U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich (Ohio) took second and third place with 25 percent and 17 percent, respectively. Clinton (N.Y.), with almost 11 percent, came in fourth.
She's not bombing because she's not liberal enough (though she has gone to some efforts to hide her liberalism, as they all have), but because of her tremendous "negative" numbers. I can't recall the exact numbers, but a few months ago they were stunningly high, even among Democrats.
These other candidates are more of an unknown quantity--a definite plus when you're a Democrat.
