(Angus Reid Global Monitor) - Many Democratic Party supporters in the United States want Hillary Rodham Clinton to become their presidential nominee in 2008, according to a poll by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press. 48 per cent of respondents say the New York senator is their first choice for president.

Illinois senator Barack Obama is second with 22 per cent, followed by former North Carolina senator John Edwards with 11 per cent. Support is lower for New Mexico governor Bill Richardson, Delaware senator Joe Biden, Ohio congressman Dennis Kucinich, and Connecticut senator Chris Dodd.

On Dec. 3 in Iowa, Richardson discussed his chances, saying, "I have met Iowans looking for a presidential candidate who has the experience to bring about the change that our country so desperately needs. I am that candidate. I have the experience to solve the very real problems facing our country. As president, I will end the war in Iraq, work toward solving our energy crisis, and make sure that every American has access to health care."

In American elections, candidates require 270 votes in the Electoral College to win the White House. In November 2004, Republican George W. Bush earned a second term after securing 286 electoral votes from 31 states. Democratic nominee John Kerry received 252 electoral votes from 19 states and the District of Columbia.

Bush is ineligible for a third term in office. The next presidential election is scheduled for November 2008.

Help get Hillary on the ballot in Virginia

Dear Orikinla,

Help Hillary Clinton turn Virginia blue by volunteering at the polls this Tuesday, November 6!

Tuesday's election is a critical one for Virginia Democrats trying to pick up seats in the state legislature, and we need your help to ensure a large Election Day turnout. We can also send a strong message that Virginians are ready to send a Democrat to the White House.

To prepare, we are organizing meetings in Northern Virginia, Richmond, Roanoke, Blacksburg, and Charlottesville this Monday, November 5. Sign up to attend one now:

In addition to casting your vote on Tuesday, we’re asking you to join our effort to put Hillary Clinton on the Virginia ballot by collecting signatures as voters exit the polls. The first five volunteers to collect and submit 500 signatures on notarized petitions will receive a complimentary ticket to Hillary’s Holiday party on December 6. Volunteers that collect and submit 100 signatures will be invited to participate in a conference call on November 19 with a very special guest who will talk about the campaign and our strategy for winning Virginia.

To sign up and receive information for the meeting scheduled in your area on November 5, please click the link below:

We will hand out information on precincts and petitions at these meetings.

With your help we will make history!

Sincerely,
Guy Cecil
National Political and Field Director
