The article presents the results of the online presidential primary of the MoveOn.org Political Action Committee (PAC) in 2003. According to the author, more people voted in the online primary than are expected to participate in the Democratic caucuses in Iowa and the primary in New Hampshire in January 2004. Results indicate that almost 44 percent of the 317,639 votes cast were for former Vermont Governor Howard Dean, but he fell short of the 50 percent mark needed to win the MoveOn endorsement. Wes Boyd, treasurer of MoveOn.org PAC, remarked that participation far exceeded their expectations.
