Net Users Reject Duck

Here's how bad Howard the Duck did in Iowa:

Voter surveys in Iowa Monday night held surprising news for the former Vermont governor, whose Internet-driven candidacy attracted scores of young supporters.

In Iowa, Dean underperformed among several groups that were supposed to be key to his success. Kerry beat him among young adults, liberals, heavy Internet users, those who strongly disapproved of the war with Iraq and first-time caucus-goers.


Dean couldn't even win the heave Net users. With his campaign ignited by innovative uses of the Net, he should have easily got this segment of the caucusers.

Remember, the Iowa results are from 100,000 people who were slathered with political ads, phone calls, and door knocking for months. Plus, New Hampshire is a different animal.
