State Democratic Party Chairman Dwight Pelz said Friday he wasn't aware of any polls assessing support for presidential candidates among Democratic voters likely to attend the Feb. 9 caucuses. But after the P-I published an article reflecting that, a couple of savvy readers cried foul.
It seems that the state party itself conducted a straw poll in late 2007, soliciting responses from the thousands of people on its email list. The result was a narrow first-place finish for Dennis Kucinich.
On Monday, Pelz said that didn't quite count.
"The Kucinich people, to their credit as we acknowledge, they got people tro send in responses for Kucinich," Pelz said. "But that doesn't rise to the level of a scientific poll of Washington state caucus-goers."

Dennis is the one candidate that could make for a REAL change and not just more of the same
