Over the weekend, we tested the political waters just about ten weeks before the Presidential Primary in Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee.

Circle February Fifth on your voting calendar next year.

We asked you to pick your favorite democrat [0] in the race (republicans come next week).

And as of Monday, here are the top winners.

1.  Hillary Rodham Clinton

2.  John Edwards

3.  Barak Obama

4.  Undecided

But the "no democrats" option led them all.

The poll [0] is active all week, so you can still vote and leave us your comment here [0].


I've shown you several ads from Fred Thompson, which haven't aired in our market.

So, in keeping with the spirit of the poll, here are the latest spots from democratic candiates released over the last week.

 [0]Hillary Clinton is underscoring her commitment to Healthcare with this ad about helping out a constituent.

 [0]Barak Obama shares a little about his personal life and his commitment to education.

 [1]And we have a couple of John Edwards spots highlighting healthcare & jobs.

I should wait for next week to talk about the republicans, but I can't let this ad go by.

 [1]Candidate Mike Huckabee has called in a heavy hitter in his latest campaign ad from his website.

It's a take-off on the popular "Chuck Norris Fact Generator [2]."

An example: "Chuck Norris once tried skipping a rock across the Pacific Ocean. We now know this rock as Haley's Comet."

So here's the Huckabee version.
