  OUR OWN LITTLE POLL
  It's all in fun and there's no scientific validity to it, but I'm sure you've noticed our on-site preference poll. For the past two months we had a list of ten hopefuls. Here's how you voted over that period:
  
  John Edwards 33%
  Barack Obama 24%
  Al Gore 22%
  Rudy Giuliani 9%
  Hillary Clinton 4%
  John McCain 2%
  Joe Biden 2%
  Chuck Hagel 2%
  Mitt Romney 0%
  Condoleezza Rice 0%
  
  We've updated our list a bit and started a new poll. We've dropped Rice and added Sam Brownback, Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich, Bill Richardson, Tom Vilsack and Dennis Kucinich. Take a look at cast a vote for the fun of it.
