Reply #20: That poll has some excellent news for Democrats generally [View All]

So you don't like Lieberman? Big whoop. His "lead" is well within a 4.5% margin of error, and Undecided is still the winner. Then you've got to factor name recognition into the mix: Sen. Clinton wins by a landslide, but she's not running. Holy Joe still has some leftover credibility from his stint as Gore's #2. This will diminish, as he loses the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries.

But the BIG news here is bush*s 63% disapproval rating in NYC. Just IMAGINE what the Repuke convention is going to look like! Pure insanity. The RNCC is going to stomp into a place where their candidate is out of favor, 2-to-1, to dance on the graves of thousands of New Yorkers. That isn't going to play well. A large segment of that 63% is going to find time to make a public statement of some sort.

Also worthy of note is bush's 55% disapproval among indy voters.

If the RNCC is thinking they can pick up New York in 2004, they've got a lot of expensive bribing and propaganda to do between now and then.
