Yes but it does not prevent the dems from outright stupidity. ROTFLOL.... Sharpton Tops NY Prez Poll Firebrand Rev. Al Sharpton is favored over all other 2004 presidential hopefuls among New York City Democrats, according to the latest Zogby International survey. "In New York City, Sharpton was the strongest [Democrat] with 13 percent of the vote, followed closely by [Sen. Joseph] Lieberman (12 percent) and [Rep. Richard] Gephardt (11 percent)," Zogby reported on his Web site last week, in news that was mysteriously ignored by the mainstream press. In New York State overall, Sharpton trails only two other Democrats - again, Lieberman (14 percent) and Gephardt (13 percent). But with 9 percent support statewide, Sharpton's third place finish puts him ahead of white media darlings Sen. John Kerry (7 percent) and Sen. John Edwards (4 percent). He also beat alleged presidential rising star, Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, as well as former Sen. Carol Moseley-Braun and former Sen. Gary Hart, all of whom attracted a meager 3 percent support in the statewide survey. And the good news for Sharpton doesn't end with the Zogby poll. A Time/CNN survey conducted Feb. 19-20 shows that the New York minister is the presidential front-runner among black Democrats nationwide. Citing Time/CNN's latest numbers, Sharpton's office said in a press release Monday: "Presidential candidate Al Sharpton has twice as much support among African-Americans as his closest Democratic rival, ties North Carolina Sen. John Edwards for fourth-place among all registered Democratic voters, and is ahead of former Illinois Sen. Carol Moseley-Braun, Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, Florida Sen. Bob Graham and Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich. ..." Sen. Joseph Lieberman leads the pack with 16 percent in the nationwide Time/CNN poll, followed by former House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt (13 percent) and Sen. John Kerry (8 percent). Then come Sharpton and Edwards, each tied at 7 percent. Among blacks, however, Sharpton led the field with 20 percent - leading Gephardt and Lieberman, who were tied with 9 percent. Moseley-Braun received support from just 6 percent of African-Americans, followed by Edwards with 5 percent, Kerry at 4 percent, Graham with 4 percent, Dean at 3 percent and Kucinich in last place with 1 percent. Though aspects of the Time/CNN poll were covered in a handful of media reports, none mentioned Sharpton's front-runner status among African-Americans. newsmax.com
