Startling results of latest poll!! Fabulous news!!
Hillary, Obama, and Edwards both beat all the major Republican candidates,
AND lose to them by a 20%-25% margin according to the latest DFW poll, which
is at least as reliable as half the ones cited here.

Cheerleading for those of the results that you wish to believe may start as of now.

5. Yes, well.......
If I start to get serious rebuttals, it's time for panic in the ranks.

8. True Enough, Sir
One of those "We have met the enemy, and he is us" moments so dear to close students of the critter....

9. In other words: never underestimate a sage marsupial over a dim hominid.
Wise advice.

3. Hillary winning would not be much ot celebrate.
Among other things we need to stop the war and quit meddling in the internal affairs of other governments.

4. I think the polls--like the mainstream news--exist to make the Democrats look weaker than they are.

7. I don't know if they ALL are
I know Charlie Cook, and he's fairly neutral. If he has an agenda, he
conceals it well. But most of them, I agree--they have a desired result,
and most of them desire us to look bad. But those who jump on some poll
as a sure sign of things to come are either are better than the Delphic
Oracle, or more sanguine than the guy who jumps out of a window eighty
stories high, hoping to sprout wings before he gets halfway down.

11. I agree as a great example would be the use of
the abc poll from last week. Prior to the release of that poll all the msm showed hrc ahead in iowa ranging from 2 to 10 points. Then last week abc showed different. Obama ahead by 4% points. Did the msm even try to show the iowa caucus in a state of flux by showing their own polling beside the abc poll? No, they lead with the abc poll as if this one poll was written in stone and all other polls were wrong.

Now you have this zogby interative poll which is bogus. Why? because nationwide I and 52 others belong to zogby international/interactive polling and only 5 of the 53 received this polling questionaie email.I believe zogby front loaded this poll and left out many HRC people as I noted only 5 out of 53 received the email. Yes, many different results can be obtained, for example the latest gallup poll shows HRC defeating all repubicans and all dems are looking good but to get the opposite where all dems except hrc defeat the republicans. Strange.

10. So in other words, the media's "top 3" cancel themselves out?
Which leaves the door wide open for a Kucinich sweep of the primaries!
Now that IS fabulous news!! :woohoo:
