I suspected that Gore would do well in our poll based on a very surprising (to me anyway) DailyKos straw poll from a couple of weeks ago where Gore just completely blew away the competition. When Gore wasn't included there was essentially a three way tie between Obama, Edwards, and Clark. (You may have to vote in the DailyKos polls to see the results). Clark did poorly in our poll, but Obama and Edwards were pretty close.
Democracy for Wisconsin grew out of the volunteer base of Howard Dean's presidential run, so that will give you an idea of our general political leanings, although the group has broadened considerably since '04. We're pretty representative of the progressive left, and our Yahoo group has members from all over the state, although Madison is overrepresented as you would expect.

Having been a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in 1972, I am not suprised that Gore blows away the competition, even though he is not an announced candidate. Almost all of the progressive activists that I know have expressed an opinion that he can win in 2008, while Hillary probably can't.
Who the h*ll is Mike Gravel??? Never hear of him.
No idea who I want yet, so didn't vote, but keepig a close eye and am pretty impressed with both Gore and Obama (would make a nice ticket???). Nice to see you out here Russell! Welcome to the blogosphere.
