Netroots Generation Gap: Edwards v. Obama
MyDD has an interesting post comparing the results of presidential on-line polls between MyDD readers and Daily Kos.
"While both blogs placed Edwards and Obama first and second, on Dailykos, John Edwards won a comfortable victory over Obama, 38%--26%, while on MyDD Obama won a narrow victory over Edwards, 36%--33%."
According to MyDD, the gap could be explained by the age difference between MyDD readers-who tend be under 30-and the slightly older Daily Kos crowd. There is no doubt that Obama will get a strong youth contingent though Edwards has also been targeting the colleges.
