Do you buy the media horse race?
Why is Obama top tier and Dodd bottom tier?

Dodd has had decades of experience in public service while Obama has barely served one term in the Senate.

Also in earlier elections, candidates have come from low poll numbers to win the nomination. I think Bill Clinton had low numbers at one point.

1. while I have no opinion on your Obama/Dodd comparison
I don't buy the media horse race.

I also disagree with the media placing Edwards/Clinton/Obama in the center podiums at every debate (and the moderator giving the three of them 2,3,4x more questions to answer than the other candidates).

Shake it up fer gosh sakes!

5. No. They are interesting to read, but the only ones that count are the
exit polls on primary day.
