Overall, the response by the candidates to the 10Questions experiment was shameful. Only Mike Huckabee, to his everlasting credit, responded right away. Beyond that, only Edwards, Gravel, and Obama (via clips form campaign questions) answered by the deadline. No others responded, despite 3 reminders (!) (count \\\\\\\’em… 3!) on the Op-Ed page of the […]

This week’s turnout set a new record. A wave of Ron Paul supporters showed up only minutes after the poll opened, well before I had released any announcements. There was another surge of voting after I posted a “polls are open” diary on on RedState. RedState’s owners would probably be very reluctant to admit it, […]

Dodd’s advance to 2nd place in depth in the DEM Tuesday Tracker echoes the results of the most recent DailyKos frontpage poll. GOP participation has fallen off drastically, probably because RedState, where the poll is announced, has tied itself into knots over the prominence of Ron Paul supporters there, and an admin wiped out the […]

This week’s Tracker produced largest turnout so far, probably because the Republican debate in Michigan kept Ron Paul supporters on a high level of alert throughout the evening. Paul voters crushed their opposition, most of whom have made barely any effort to show up for the last couple of weeks.
The turnout on the […]

I sent out email announcements for the Tuesday Tracker for the last couple of weeks, prompting many participants to return. But the response from DailyKos has dropped off, and the usual Ron Paul swarms haven’t been materializing. This week, instead of posting diaries across the political blogosphere right at noon, I’ll try late afternoon or […]

Results remain fairly consistent with previous polls. Once again, John Edwards took the Democratic poll in every dimension. A relatively low turnout in the Republican poll permitted a 10th round IRV victory for Fred Thompson. Ron Paul started out leading with 1st rank votes, and also took the lead in overall depth. Round after round, […]

The weekly online poll by Pajamas Media was recently reconfigured to exclude most of the candidates. It now allows votes for only the top 4 Democrats and top 5 Republicans, based on reporting from the poll aggregator, Real Clear Politics. That’s unfair, in my view, and it could also be risky in such a crowded […]

Once again, John Edwards prevailed in every dimension of the Tuesday Tracker poll for the Democratic candidates, held September 11, 2007. That week’s Democratic poll saw a large jump in turnout over previous weeks (though at 147 votes, it’s still pretty small). Ron Paul took the Republican poll in another dominant showing.
Edwards was stronger than […]

As usual, John Edwards has prevailed in every dimension of the Tuesday Tracker poll for the Democratic candidates, reflecting a voting population drawn primarily from readers of DailyKos and myDD. Fred Thompson and Ron Paul split victories over the previous two weeks. Thompson’s strength reflects the preferences of voters attracted by the announcement links on […]
