All the bickering result: Gallup-MCain now leads both Obama and Hillary nationally....
Are folks happy now? At times I get so frustated I want to just completely forget about politics and go back to being a robot.

What's next? Hillary and Obama have a gunfight?

And, McCain just sits back and smiles.

1. Gallup = GOP
Beware the source.

10. Beware the results.
Don't dismiss them out of hand, McCain can be trouble. He shouldn't be, but he could be.

2. Relax... after March 4, when we unite behind our candidate (Obama), and the focus goes to McCain...
...this will change.

4. Exactly, right now many Hillary fans swear they will vote for McCain but ...
when they calm down and think about things like Roe v. Wade being overruled they will get on board.

Same with Obama fans- I'm angry with Hillary but I'll calm down and vote for her if she wins. Might not tell a pollster that I would right now though. :)

11. Hillary won't be done after March 4. Don't you get it?
She will try and cripple Obama as much as she can. A strong Dem candidate hurts her future grasps at power (see '12).

14. If she doesn't gain on Obama on the 4th
and doesn't exit the race, then I will be banging the drum along side you, for certain.

3. As Gore learned, the popular vote means nothing. How is it state by state?

8. Well, when it is to our liking we celebrate.....
the results????? Can't have it both ways.

Bottom line: We have got a real barn burner on our hands. AND I AM SICK OF CLOSE ELECTIONS.

6. National polls mean very little at this time. In addition, This hasn't changed
the last time it was taken, Hillary behind mccain, and Obama tied

The truth is WHOEVER our nominee is, we will win in 2008, once people start to listen to what mccain says

Right now, most of those people just know of him as a person who spent time in a North Viet Nam prison

16. The survey shows Obama and McCain one point apart
within the range of error. The Clinton/McCain contest is scarier and shows McCain beating Clinton with a greater margin.

17. Its a result of them beating up on each other. And no one is reminding people McCain
is a warmongering piece of shit. With no answers for the economy.
