ELECTABILITY: NH CNN poll shows Clinton with highest "electability" rating
"The most impressive number for Hillary Clinton is electability. Often portrayed nationally as polarizing and unelectable, the New Hampshire poll shows 47 percent of likely Democratic voters believe she is most able to defeat the GOP nominee in a general election, while Obama receives 17 percent in that category."

1. CNN weighs in. Any reason to be skeptical about their objectivity?
Nah. They've always been straight shooters, right? Right?

4. Oh, please. What the hell kind of poll asks about "electability"?
It's a ridiculous notion, and a ridiculous poll.

Talk to me in six months. Then we'll have some basis to discuss electability. In the mean time, CNN is simply doing it's best to manipulate voter opinion under the guise of gathering and reporting poll numbers.

3. You forgot this sentence in the article...
"While only 9 percent of Democratic voters say they are undecided on who they support at this time, 64 percent say they have not yet made up their minds on who they will vote for in the primary."

64% haven't made up their minds.

5. exactly. This is so incredibly premature. One must question CNN's motives.

6. no, I didn't "forget" anything
:eyes:

The conspiracy theorist wannabes here are just too funny. If I wanted to hide information, I wouldn't have posted the link.

:rofl:

See, it is perfectly legit to enter that information into the discussion. It's pretty odd to imply I "forgot" something.

7. Color me dense but
what the hell is the difference between "undecided" and "haven't made up their minds"?

Am I missing something here?
