1. This is why I hope superdelegates don't choose our candidate...

It does speak for itself!

2. at least Hilary is t ied

I am honestly worried about that match up. It'd be better if she was ahead, but given that I don't believe Obama will get the nod (and I'm sad about that) at least she's not working from a deficit...yet.

3. Does anyone else notice how quiet it gets when...

someone posts facts against Clinton. It is like the Clinton supporters all decided to pretend that polls like this don't exist.

6. I have noticed it when I try to post facts.

4. It may speak for itself, but doesn't have much to say...

Show me the numbers closer to November if Obama is the nominee, and the Right Wing Noise Machine has been geared up to slime him for a few months, and the same percentage of the population who were fooled into thinking Saddam was behind 9/11 have been convinced that Obama is some sort of Islamic terrorist mole. (Probably related to Saddam! Look at that middle name!)

Obama MAY hold out better than Clinton vs. McCain, but the margins WILL NOT stay anywhere near as wide. When you add the effect of a very dispirited and fractured Republican party to the equation, I'm not that worried that either Obama or Clinton can win in November.

5. It should be a bad sign that a blue state is purple with Clinton. nt

12. This poll is a very small sample and local to an area. Not indicative of anything. Also

the polling has been so off it isn't even funny. Barack was winning California, closing in on her in NY and NJ. And I agree about the Obama nominee being different from Obama the candidate. But don't bother trying to disturb anyone with that fact. They're on their honeymoon still.
