Handy for comparison of Biden, Clinton, Dodd, Edwards, Kucinich, Obama, and Richardson on a selection of topics with focus on Bush’s War.

Obama subsequently won in MoveOn's straw poll, but MoveOn posted two sets of results:

Now, here are the full results from the Virtual Town Hall vote (remember, this does not imply a MoveOn endorsement):
Sen. Barack Obama 28% www.BarackObama.com
Sen. John Edwards 25% www.JohnEdwards.com
Rep. Dennis Kucinich 17% www.Kucinich.us
Gov. Bill Richardson 12% www.RichardsonForPresident.com
Sen. Hillary Clinton 11% www.HillaryClinton.com
Sen. Joe Biden 6% www.JoeBiden.com
Sen. Chris Dodd 1% www.ChrisDodd.com
These candidates' views differed in quite a few areas, but they all rejected President Bush's plan and agreed that it's time to start bringing the troops home. Imagine what it would mean to have an anti-war candidate in the White House. Think about it.

P.S. MoveOn members who watched the Town Hall at one of the parties voted differently from those who did not. Here are how the folks who attended the event ranked their choices:
Sen. John Edwards 25%
Gov. Bill Richardson 21%
Sen. Barack Obama 19%
Rep. Dennis Kucinich 15%
Sen. Joe Biden 10%
Sen. Hillary Clinton 7%
Sen. Chris Dodd 4%
.....................................
There is a distinct probability that a higher % of those who watched the Town Hall at one of the parties watched ALL of the videos, while a lower % of those who watched the Town Hall on their own watched ALL of the videos. Perhaps candidate partisans account for at least some of the differences in the two sets of results.
