Obama wins Asian presidential straw polls
January 8, 2008
LOS ANGELES An all-star cast of Asian American leaders Dec. 6 energized the audience at the AAA-Funds Presidential Candidates Forum which selected Sen. Barack Obama as winner in the presidential straw poll. But AAA-Fund itself is not making any pre-primary endorsement as it has invited every Democratic Presidential campaign to the Forum.
Three candidates responded: Sen. Hillary Clinton, Sen. Barack Obama, and Gov. Bill Richardson. In addition, Eric Bauman, Chair of the Los Angeles County Democratic Party, delivered opening remarks.
Following the Forum, guests participated in the AAA-Funds Presidential Straw Poll, in which voters ranked their first, second, and third choices. Sen. Obama won the Straw Poll, with 71 percent of first-choice votes. Sen. Clinton finished second, with 23 percent of first-choice votes. (Clinton and Gov. Richardson led the field in second-choice votes, with 34 percent and 24 percent, respectively.)The Forum and Straw Poll were held at the East West Players Theater in Los Angeles historic Little Tokyo.
