Poll question: Did you think 6 months ago that Barack Obama would be doing so well now?
Edited on Tue Jan-01-08 11:56 AM by Katzenkavalier
I remember many people over here saying that Obama would fizzle quickly, that he was no match for Hillary, and all sorts of things. Now, 2 days before the Iowa caucus, the man has the momentum on his side in Iowa and is basically tied with Hillary in NH, and if he wins in those two states, he will be the one to beat by Feb 5.

So, be honest: Did you think he would be doing this well about 6 months ago?

2. When it's easy to tell what the pollster wants the answer to be, I don't answer
It becomes a push poll.

3. This is not a push poll. I'm asking something valid.

6. I knew it would happen because
that is what the press pushed.........it was Obama/Clinton all the time. None of the other candidates had a chance. Are they the best candidates, absolutely NO. They are only the ones that the press wanted to push because they are the first.....first woman.....first black.

7. YES, primarily because the media has been behind him all the way!
I'm not sure how or why the media choses their darlings, but when they do, it's almost a guaranteed win.

9. I knew he had it in him
It's all in his resume as community organizer, which his opponents overlook at their own peril.
