Since Andrew Sullivan has become flavor of the month with the Obama crowd...
I thought I'd see what the guy has to say about the post-debate polling figures:

Clinton Up Four In National Gallup

02 Feb 2008 01:48 pm

Gulp. She now leads by seven.

That "gulp" is the sound of someone facing up to an unstoppable political reality. Now if only Andrew's fans here would follow suit!

1. He's kinda conservative for my tastes, but on the other hand, I do like the
"out my window" entries on the ATLANTIC dish blog, or whatever it is.

There are worse conservatives out there than Andrew Sullivan.

2. Yes, there are worse conservatives. He certainly has been tough on Bush.
btw, OC, have you decided on your candidate, now that John is gone?

3. he deserves credit for his anti-torture stance...
...but he also says a load of stupid stuff. I was a bit amazed to see him praised by Obama-backers on DU.

5. Hi, Olney Blue. Nope. I'm still shopping.
Agree with you on Sullivan with Bush -- he's put on the brass knuckles and started swinging fairly early in the game.

6. I can't vote in the primaries until February 12.....
wonder if it will be all over by then! I haven't decided either- I trust both candidates.

7. Good for you. Vote for your choice. That's always an honest vote, and
you're right -- we've got the good candidates while the Pukes got nobody.

4. Sullivan is an idiot.
Taking a 1-day bump as God's truth after all the flawed polling in this race just doesn't seem smart. And yes, I know Obama supporters were doing the same when the polls showed Obama getting a small bump. In the end, all you can do is keep working hard for your candidate.

8. Hey Bidenista, do you get paid to post here?
I see you joined DU on the 14th of last month, you have been here a grand total of 18 days yet you have close to 600 posts.

10. I just find it interesting that you just joined and now seem to have
a full time job pimpin Hillary 24/7.

Hell boy, you got almost as many posts in less than 3 weeks than I do in 4 years or so.

11. "pimping Hillary"? "boy"?
It really is a mystery that Obama's backers aren't drawing more people to his campaign.
