New poll shows...oh, who gives a crap.

[Paragon]

Really, people - it's getting tired. Anyone want to have a substantive debate about...anything?

1. Got cognitive dissonance?

Sorry, but that's just petty, dissing polls when they indicate a turn in events that should really prompt your candidate to work harder for the votes.

I mean sheesh, ARG shows Clark taking a little dip, and instead of getting snippy, I take it as a challenge to redouble my efforts for the guy.

2. Talk to me again on Tuesday.

My guy's actually running in Iowa. :D

[NV1962]

3. What's an Iowa?

Hehe

Good luck there. This tight race is actually very good, whichever the outcome: I think it'll help to ignite more engaged interest in November.

4. Is Iowa in danger of becoming as irrelevant as DC did after this week?

After all, if Howard Dean doesn't do well there, why should it count?

[Paragon]

5. Who said DC really counted?

There's a reason they call it a nonbinding primary. I never compared DC to Iowa, and to do so is silly.

11. The Dean camp seemed to think it was a major proving ground

at least until he made such a poor showing outside of a limited base.

[Paragon]

18. I'm IN "the Dean camp"

I made no such boast.

[beaconess]

20. By Dean camp, I meant the Dean campaign, not Dean supporters

Although many supporters said the same thing.

[Paragon]

21. Find me a link.

I really doubt even the campaign was crowing as much as you're implying.

8. No.

But I confess, I did start a thread that started, "If I see one more candidate in a sweater, I'll..."

[windansea]

10. I know

and the next day I saw Dean wearing one...couldn't resist

:)

[Shanty Oilish]

7. Please let it be over soon

It'll be inconclusive I tell you. But I'm real tired of seeing the word Iowa. It's an Indian word for yawn, I think.

9. Dean's Going To Win!!

I can feel it in my bones!

[YellowDawgDemocrat]

13. I'm still picking Dean, Gephardt, Kerry, Edwards....in that order

We'll see who gets their vote out.

[MoonRiver]

12. Sour grapes, anyone?

[Paragon]

15. see post # 2

:D

14. The proof comes

Monday. We will see what polls really mean, both the early and the late ones. Then everyone will look at NH and new polls and we go through this again.

[NV1962]

16. I'm impressed

by the outpour of respect for fellow Democrats in DC and Iowa.

Carpetbagger mentality - bah.

17. What is the wind/speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

[Paragon]

19. African or European?

;)

22. Sorry, not in this forum...

GD:2004P was never about substantive debate. Where have you been?
