Howard Dean activists say no to Kerry, yes to Obama

April 7, 2005

WASHINGTON -- Two-thirds of Howard Dean's online activists from his 2004 presidential campaign say they don't want Al Gore or John Kerry, the Democratic Party's nominees from 2000 and 2004, to run for president in 2008, a survey found.

Dean, currently chairman of the Democratic National Committee, was still the first choice of the Dean online activists.

Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards and New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton got the most other support for a 2008 run, with Kerry and Gore far behind, according to the survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. Dean has said he will not run for president in 2008.

Half the online activists -- well-educated and upscale -- say they stay in touch with people they met during the campaign.

''We wanted to know what would happen to this group after Dean lost,'' said Andrew Kohut, director of the Pew Research Center. ''This was the first campaign movement born and nurtured on the Internet.''
