Now here's an interesting poll. Robert has hit on a great idea, at least to Salonistas like me: a poll of who Salon bloggers are backing for president. He apparently went to considerable effort to track down the hundred highest-ranked Salon blogs, plus every other he saw popping up, for a total of 145, and about half responded.

Results are in today. Highlights:

Dean trounced the rest of the eight Democratic candidates with 29 votes, or 40.3 percent.

In second place was Kerry, whose 14 votes gave him 19.4 percent. Dennis Kucinich came in at third place, with eight votes, or 11.1 percent.

“President” Bush got two votes, for 2.8 percent. Edwards got only one vote, for 1.4 percent.

The rest of the Democratic contenders -- Braun, Gephardt, Graham, Lieberman and Sharpton -- received no votes at all.

He's got lots more data, and more analysis, which is pretty interesting.

He's a big Kerry man at the moment, and I think his prediction that most of the undecideds will move to Kerry's camp is wildly wishful thinking. But see what he has to say and decide for yourself. And I bet he'll poll again and we'll find out. If I'm wrong, I'll admit it here. (Though if Dean shoots himself in the foot and a shift to Kerry mirrors a shift in the wider electorate, I'll note that too. That's the only way I see that scenario playing out.)

(And by the way, I was planning to link to his results regardless of whether my fave Dean won or lost. I was just happy he did so well.)
