Hey guys, in the latest CNN/Time poll, taken May 21-22, 2003, the results are:
Kerry 14%
Gephardt 13%
Lieberman 13%
Sharpton 8%
Edwards 7%
Graham 5%
Dean 4%
Moseley Braun 3%
Kucinich 2%
No one even breaks 15%! I guess the fragmented nature of the Democratic primary field means that no one can possibly get a majority of delegates, especially since the DNC mandates proportional representation in all states.
How are any of Kerry, Gephardt, or Lieberman going to break out of the pack, especially with Sharpton getting around 10% support because of the reliability of the black vote? I don't see a way for any candidate to emerge with more than ~40% of the delegates, at best.
I love to laugh at the "quality" of the 2012 GOP field, but
my f***k was the 2004 Democratic field awful.
