New Poll has Gore ahead of Hillary in nomination bid by 15%

[PretzelWarrior]

In a survey conducted this morning with a broad cross section of Americans, Gore takes a healthy lead over the dominant Hillary Clinton in the polls. Americans were asked, "Who would you nominate for Democratic presidential candidate?" 45% said Al Gore, 30% said Hillary Clinton, 15% said Barak Obama, 8% said John Edwards, and 2% said somebody else.

Just so you know, a few of the people polled were my dog, my wife, the people at the coffee shop, and a few celebrities. I watched Guliani on the TV and asked him who he thinks would make the best Democratic nominee. I said, if you think it's Hillary, say "health care". If you think it's Gore, say "9/11".

5. not bad for a guy who's not running

6. You think

10% is good? How odd.

7. for a guy who's not running? yup.

8. Maybe you don't understand...

when he's included with the candidates, he gets 10%. They ask about all the candidates, and include Gore. He gets 10%.

Obama gets 24%, Clinton gets 45% (I think - it could've been 44).

9. maybe YOU don't understand.

when he's included with the candidates...it's always as a "What if". Most people aren't going to choose Gore in a poll if they know he's not even in the running. Most will go with who they like out of the current field.

If he announced that he was running tomorrow, by next week those numbers would look MUCH MUCH different. In your heart I think you probably know that.
