Any questions about which one would be more electable come November?

1. K&R

[Barack_America]

2. Yes, but only the opinions of Dems in large Blue States count.

We don't have to listen to the rest of these so-called "Americans".

:sarcasm:

[TheDonkey]

15. lol

[XemaSab]

20. You're apparently in one of the states that counts...

I'm in a state that counts too! OMG! HUGH!

(Oh, and Hillary won California by carrying LA, San Diego, the Inland Empire, and the Central Valley.... namely, the more conservative areas of the state :eyes:)

[JimGinPA]

3. There never was any doubt in my mind nt

[Metric System]

4. You know what's a bit scary for Dems in those numbers?

On the issues of Illegal immigration, The situation in Iraq, and Terrorism, McCain leads both Obama and Clinton by double digits.

[high density]

5. They've got a few months to fix that still

Republicans get points on those items by default. As soon as it becomes more broadcast that McCain wants us in Iraq for 100 years, people will stop thinking so highly of McCain on these sort of issues.

[debatepro]

10. Interesting quote:...

But I will also stand my ground because there are fights worth having.”


Like authorization for the Iraq war?

[Yael]

21. Telcom immunity isn't apparently one of those fights

she didn't even bother to call in sick to work -- she just didn't show up.

[THUNDER HANDS]

13. Illegal immigration will be a tough issue

but Iraq and terrorism are fluid issues, subject to any random event.

[WillTheGoober]

6. heh...

Well -- as much as I'd love to just end it all based on that poll ... I don't think so.

:) Polls have been so reliable this year, I know.
But I'm going to continue to support my candidate with every bit of money and enthusiasm I can manage to muster given the hard times in our economy right now. As I see my pay cut and as I see my mom is pain because she can't afford Health Care, I know I turn to polls to decide my choices. :eyes:

Hillary is my candidate; whether polls agree or disagree.

W.

[jakem]

7. kick.

[thesubstanceofdreams]

8. K&R n/t

[RiverStone]

9. Kicked! No doubt here!

:hi:

[mathewsleep]

11. *bling*

would you look at that jem.

[Hope And Change]

12. K&R!

:kick:

[theHandpuppet]

14. Not suprising

The MSM and GOP have been working for 20 years to villify her. Some of us just happen to be immune from the hype.

[Occam Bandage]

16. His numbers have really risen. It seems the more people see him, the more they like him.

HRC, on the other hand, remains stably polarizing.

[AtomicKitten]

17. Voters are liking him more and her less.

Gobama!

[tritsofme]

18. Hillary has been a walk in the park for Obama, wait till the GOP attack machine

gets oiled up.

They'll knock Obama's favorables right back down to earth.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

19. I expect that his unfavorables will go up but HRC is starting out at an average of 48%

Sure, some will argue that they can't go up much from that, but all it takes is one or two percent and you are losing the election.

[Yael]

22. Yes, because the Clintons are a walkover in a campaign.

:rofl:

[tritsofme]

25. Despite all the whining from the Obama folks.

The Clintons have not run a nasty campaign.

The GOP will not be shy in saying the things that dare not be said during a Democratic Primary.

[Yael]

23. Interesting stats on the Dem candidates down the list

Hillary has maintained a 44-45 since before Edwards dropped out to current.

Edwards' last week, he was at 13 and Obama at 33.

Today, Obama is at 47 (+14)

[mrreowwr_kittty]

24. Aaargh! Fuckin' McCain has low unfavorables. nt
