6. Kucinich is evidently below the 3% they list for Biden and Richardson.

7. Isnt this the debate where Dennis did real well ?

This was all over the net, this week, so what happened... ? Hiding any Dennis surge in the tabs behind a subscription wall is a cheap move.

9. Below the margin of error. (nt)

2. Obama is very well spoken.

I saw him in an interview on public schools and NCLB
yesterday, and he comes across very well. I find
myself naturally liking and respecting him.. but I
just don't know if his actual record is much to speak
of. And I worry that he'll be just another corporofascist
like Hillary and the rest... except for maybe Edwards.

I'm still in Edwards' camp, but I worry about Edwards'
chances because MSM is so anti-Edwards it's unreal.

3. For all the whining people do about Hillary's negatives,

Obama and Edwards, have higher unfavorables.

Funny that.

4. Obama's within the margin of error, I might add.

8. She doesn't have high unfavorables with DEMOCRATS. It is the voting public who dislike her. She can

lose a GENERAL ELECTION. The unfavorables among DEMS don't mean squat.Many don't vote anyway. Geez. Learn to understand the differnce in what favorable and unfavorables count.

5. Very good for Barack!
