Dean/Warren 2016
Democracy for America (DFA), a progressive
group that grew out of former Vermont governor Howard Dean’s unsuccessful
presidential campaign, just released an unscientific survey of their roughly one
million members asking for their preferences in a hypothetical race for the
Democratic nomination in two years. Elizabeth Warren, the former Harvard Law professor and consumer advocate was the clear
favorite, garnering 42 percent of the respondents, while Clinton trailed a
distant third with only 23 percent. We voted for Howard Dean. here
