Reply #5: They poll their members. [View All]

If the race is statewide, rather than national, they only poll members from that state. I'm not sure how they poll for Congressional races - - whether they poll folks from that district only, or whether they still poll statewide.

The problem Solomon has with this is that - - apparently - - MoveOn hasn't polled its NY members about who they want to support - - HRC or Tasini.

I think Solomon is right about reducing the size of HRC's primary victory next month would do a lot to counter the "she'll win the primary in a walk" spin around her, and get some of the folks to stop and think who are selfishly pushing her to run in 2008. I also agree that Tasini doesn't seem to have the fund raising ability for his campaign to do it alone. He'd have to have the help of some big guns - - like MoveOn - - or a very, very, very large organic 'Netroots embrace of his campaign. Both seem unlikely scenarios at this point. Not impossible, unlikely.
