This poll looks weird
This is why I refuse to do any more predictions. My only prediction is that my prediction just now that I will do no more predictions is wrong. Look at this shit:



Does that make any sense? They're up; they're down; they're up again; no, they're back down. :wtf: Stoopid voters.

1. The media has decided who will run
MSNBC has been bending over backwards to smear Dean, glorify Kerry, and ignore the rest.

3. Oy, enough with the blame the media canard already.
It's getting old, folks. I'd like to see someone back up this contention that the news controls our brains with some actual facts. That would be very refreshing. Bold assertions are not a substitute for argumentation.

2. No more weird than the tracking polls in Iowa
Those also showed Dean's support plummeting in the days leading up to the caucus.

4. What would be wierd is-
if Lieberman's polling #s were going up. I'd be real suspicious then. Look at his polling...a very steady 6-10%, what I'd expect from the Joe. The big 4 are very fluid, I think. Frankly, I think any of the 4 would make great Presidents, I suspect a strong majority of Democrats agree. A lot of people have been polling "undecided" for months, too. People now are beginning to choose their favorites, so many of the undecideds seem to be weighing in for Kerry and to a lesser degree, Edwards. I wish they had included "undecideds" and "all others" so we'd get a poll that ends up with 100% of the sample, it might be easier to understand the trends.

Kerry's #s are interesting....looks like his amazing caucus victory in Iowa ignited his campaign....it will be interesting to watch his line in the coming days.

Thanks for posting.
