NEW IOWA POLL: CLINTON OUT IN FRONT!

[Harper_is_Bush]

Among Democrats, Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York wins the most support, with 33 percent of likely Democratic caucus-goers backing Clinton and 31 percent supporting Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois.

I think this should serve to demonstrate the pointlessness of getting all excited (front-page excited) over any particular poll.

1. Now I've seen polls with Clinton, Edwards, and Obama in the lead

So it's my guess it's still anyone's race.

2. Bush -> Clinton -> Bush -> Clinton? -> Bush?

Enough... :mad:

9. That's a pretty lazy and cheap attack on the candidate

try and come up with something more intelligent and honest than Clinton = Bush, if you can.

11. Are you suggesting the editorial choice affects the polling they contract?

Not likely.

The point is different polls show different front-runners, so it's a bit silly to get excited about any specific one.

If they ALL had one candidate showing a healthy lead, then they'd be worth paying attention to.

16. When it's the most respected Iowa poll among pollsters...

then it is certainly safe to say...Woot! Woot!

4. The race in Iowa has zoomed past the silly barrier.

Of course, watching the millionaire candidates pose as hayseeds was a good indication that the silly barrier was already broken.

5. When isn't it in American politics?

I think they start at the silly line don't they?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

7. Yeah. But, it's lost it's entertainment value.

I mean, after fifty cream pies in the clown's face you kinda lose interest.

“Now, the man on the stand he wants my vote,
He's a-runnin' for office on the ballot note.
He's out there preachin' in front of the steeple,
Tellin' me he loves all kinds-a people.
(He's eatin' bagels
He's eatin' pizza
He's eatin' chitlins
He's eatin' bullshit!)”

6. I prefer the poll that has Obama out front.

:bounce: :rofl:

8. I like the online poll with Kucinich in the lead

peace and low stress :)

10. Touche.

:toast:

13. The only thing is...Obama Idolers cull the bottom of the barrel

to find polls with him in the lead...ones nobody has ever heard of.
