Jason! You've got momentum! Fire up that campaign machine!
Interesting to note that if there is frustration among Dems with Herseth Sandlin's Blue-Doggery, it doesn't show up in this straw poll. I heard some dissatisfaction expressed by our Dem-leaning crowd, but not enough, apparently, to hand our lone seat in Congress over to the next Michele Bachmann.
The participants in the poll identified their political affiliation thus:
Party | number | % |
Democrat | 23 | 48% |
Republican | 10 | 21% |
None | 10 | 21% |
Independent | 3 | 6% |
Other | 2 | 4% |
Margin of error is larger than Russell Olson's campaign war chest. Scientific rigor be jiggered, I'm working up some cross-tabs to look for interesting phenomena (cross-party voting, SHS-Bjorklund voters, etc.) Stay tuned! In the meantime, your speculations, ruminations, and hearty chortles are welcome.
