"American War and Military Operations Casualties: Lists and Statistics
Tactic: polling the Facebook way
logos of the different Facebook groups that MoveOn members can join to express their opinion about the Democratic party’s nomination battle
Description: The progressive group MoveOn wants to know how its members feel about the struggle between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for the Democratic party nomination. Instead of using a tradition poll, they created a series of Facebook groups and asked members to vote by joining the group whose message they most agreed with, ranging from “wake me up when this primary is over” to “Obama: you won! time to focus on McCain” (see graphic above). MoveOn staff will track the number of members who join each group and from these numbers will be able to tell which views are most popular with their members.

But that's not the most interesting finding from this morning's poll in the Telegraph. The paper found "a striking level of anti-American feeling in every country".
