    Rank the Candidates

    From one of the many media newsletters I get...

    AMID THE DEMOCRATIC DIN, DEAN EXCELS AT MEDIA SPIN - Based on a metric prized highly by Madison Avenue - media impressions - Howard Dean is clearly the Democratic frontrunner for a Presidential nomination. A year before Americans will vote for a president, Dean is leading his closest media rival - John Kerry - by a margin of two-to-one. Of course, the candidates have yet to make significant advertising buys, so the media impressions we're talking about there are the free kind - PR. During the month of November, Dean generated 2,906 press mentions among the major media outlets archived by Factiva, a joint venture of Dow Jones and Reuters that compiles news content. By comparison, Kerry accumulated only enough media clips - 1,678 - to secure what presumably might be a vice presidential candidacy. But former general Wesley Clark - whom many believe would make for a more ideal ticket with Dean - wasn't far behind with 1,469 clips. Meanwhile, distant runners Al Sharpton (683 media hits), Dennis Kucinich (630) and Carol Mosely Braun (343) will need to put their spin machines into high gear if they expect to close the gap. The Riff will be keep an eye on that, as Factiva plans to publish a Democratic candidate "Media Visibility Index" monthly through the Democratic National Convention in July.

    Media Hits
    Howard Dean 2,906
    John Kerry 1,678
    Wesley Clark 1,469
    **** Gephardt 1,329
    John Edwards 1,249
    Joe Lieberman 1,225
    Al Sharpton 683
    Dennis Kucinich 630
    Carol Moseley Braun 343
    Keep on Civin'

          I thought the "media hits" translated very well with how the candidates are currently doing. They do this for every election, and most times, it's a very accurate view of how the candidates end up doing.

                In a Chris Matthews interview last night, Dean was asked about how we handle Iran. He said we would have to ask the Soviet Union to stop selling nuclear equipment to Iran and if necessary, buy it ourselve from the Soviet Union.

                He said it four times.

                Soviet Union.

                  Slim pickings as usual:

                  1. Kucinich
                  2. Dean
                  3. Kerry
                  4. Clark
                  5. Sharpton
                  6. Braun
                  7. Gephardt
                  8. Edwards
                  9. Lieberman

                  I think Dean's going to win, unless Clark's or Kerry's campaigns have any suprises left.

                      You probably missed the word "former."

                        Bill O'Rielly used to refer to Russia as the Soviet Union He also used to refer to Germany as East and West Germany which scared me a bit

                          Absolutely. Can't wait till the spirits sanctify his ass. And besides, he's a vulcan. You can always trust vulcan logic.

                              what you are saying is you would rather see Al Sharpton as president than Howard Dean

                              Dean's not a bad guy. He has some crazy left-wing ideas, but not as bad as Sharpton's left wing propaganda.

                              I'll vote for Dean over Bush, even though I can't stand the far-left.
