1. No Offense To You

But it's ironic that a poll completed on Friday is already "old"...

2. I think Edwards will surprise everyone

He may not win, but he will have a better showing than these polls indicate. He did amazingly well last night, and that's going to have an impact.

3. Is Obama running for president...

or auditioning to be Mr. Roarke?

4. My money is on Obama to win.

6. While I favor Obama...

...I must say that the juxtaposition of images in your post is quite ironic -- an Obama "vote for peace" slogan directly under a picture of the candidate under a photo of Ali taunting an opponent whose brains he has beaten out. Not exactly the image that makes me think of "peace."

7. I knew I should have invoked the feng shui check on that post!

* on edit, I changed my sig line to create harmony in my post and make the irony go away.

Cheers.

9. Boxing is a sport, and Ali is an ambassador of peace.

5. What I'd like to know...

...is, since that poll was taken in a three-day window surrounding the Iowa caucuses, how much the numbers changed from before to after.

8. How can any poll taken almost on a daily basis

with only 300-500 surveyed be even close to accurate....yet the MSM will use these polls as being accurate without ever the giving the margin of error.....Unless a poll has at least 1000-1500 voters sampled I consider them worthless...
I see in this case the moe is 5% but still only 500 surveyed....

10. Jan 2-4 so 2/3 of calls came before Iowa--lets see where those #'s particularly Edwards

are tomorrow--I'm predicting Obama will win NH but Edwards will pull a surprise and come in second.
