13. They'd love it, wouldn't they?
Bushies also voted for him in South Carolina primary after making sure they don't have to declare their party!(they passed the measure right before primary day)

3. any online political poll is going to show the results the netroots will typically want
Explains why Edwards won (wonder which online group sent their members to vote in it?)

7. Got any proof that it's rigged? I didn't think so...
Who's to say that AOL members didn't vote that way on their own?

9. So why is HRC significantly ahead of Obama in this poll?
Edited on Mon Jun-04-07 09:49 PM by draft_mario_cuomo
If what you are saying is correct, their positions should be reversed since Obama is clearly a strong #2 on the netroots.

8. Well, I use AOL, and I'm not mentally challenged
but their polls always have really wacky results, so I don't really give them any consideration (the same goes for a lot of most online polls, really).

12. I think Edwards did great
and he is coming on strong.Finally somebody says what we all are thinking: The Dems in Cogress must bear a big chunk of the blame for the mess of Iraq.

I am on the verge of declaring my support for him after what he showed me in the debate.

14. But I liked Obama's answer better: "John, you're 4 years and 1/2 too late!
You voted for the war!" And also loved when Gravel pointed at him saying "some here on this stage authored the war authorization"

16. That was Obama's best moment imo...
And he would've been a fool not to say it!

17. The only thing better...
than pointing out how short a time Obama has been around the national stage, is getting Obama himself to do it.

The only thing better than pointing out how nuanced a position Hillary has taken regarding the war.... is getting her to do it, over and over.

Nice work John!
