1. MOE 6.8 %. This is definitively a meaninful poll.

Except for the idea that Clinton is ahead (definitively news :sarcasm:), it is absolutely meaningless.

2. 30% Hillary, 10% Gore?

Is that for real?

4. Those Hillary Democrats became a bunch of hypocrites.

They hate Bush for the war but they kick the guy to the curb who opposed this madness from the beginning while support an opportunist who didn't have problem giving Bush the power to start this war

[SaveElmer]

7. Yes and those idiotic Democratic voters can't remember...

Who the last Presidential nominee was (John Kerry)

Who the last Vice Presidential Nominee was (John Edwards)

or

Who the previous Presidential Nominee was (Al Gore) - oh btw he was Veep too...


Yes it is only Hillary they have ever heard of, so they slavishly give her name even though they all secretly hate her!!!!


:sarcasm:

8. Does this mean the DNC grassroots education strategy is working?

:sarcasm: :sarcasm:

Sorry, but sadly the rank and file are basically sheep to MSM and Republican propaganda that
have already setup the contest. Lets hope the Puke strategy of pushing Dems to nominate their
ideal candidate backfires and Hillary really turns out to be a winner.

3. She has the most name recognition.

[silko]

5. No. She just has been said to be Dem nominee for

6 years by those jerks in the mass media.
A self-fullfilling prophesy.

[Robbins]

6. Kerry

If he doesn't win the New Hampsherie Primary he will not win the nomination.

9. I've said this before, and I don't like it

...but the race will be Hillary v. McCain.
