1. Just goes to show how many ignorant and ill-informed voters there are

on BOTH sides. I was wrong, but shouldn't have been. People who voted as they did, can't have all the facts and are only voting on what they've heard. I'll bet you anything.

2. All of their ratings from democrats are pretty good

especially when you compare them with Joe Lieberman.

3. I didn't think Obama was still that high.

I sort of expected him to be lower, considering he hasn't exactly been as advertised.

4. And biased on this surveyUSA page, it is hard to believe Bush won Ohio

5. Bush did NOT win Ohio. The rigged machines handed it to him.

6. Dang. Only one person picked the right answer. Here it is:

Obama 86% approval from Dems in IL
Nelson 73% approval from Dems in NE
Boxer 68% approval from Dems in CA

For better or worse, these Democrats tend to get the approval of their Democratic constituents. And as someone has mentioned, Lieberman's Dem approval has been 45-50% in the last couple of polls. Hence, there is a good chance he will get kicked to the curb.

7. Obama (not my choice). Saw this last week.

[Placebo]

8. Woo-hoo!

I was right. Go Obama!

[rep the dems]

9. I was half right.

I thought Boxer would have higher approval than Nelson.

[Redbear]

10. Part of it has to do with expectations and comparable politicians

Boxer compared to the average California pol is pretty good, but Nelson compared to some of those people in Nebraska is like Gandhi.

[NJ Democrats]

11. I was half-right

I got the Boxer as lowest part, but I though nelson had the highest.
