The real narrative. What this graph tells us...

[Bread and Circus]

A lot of people act like the mere act of questioning Hillary Clinton's inevitibility and suitability for office makes one a "hillary hater", and somehow foists John McCain to the throne on the shoulders of such questions. If you aren't with her, you are de facto part of the vast "RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY" :scared: However I contend there is both a vast Right Wing Conspiracy and a vast Left Wing Conspiracy as well (aka the Democratic Wing of the Democratic Party). What I've noticed is that Hillary's poll numbers generally haven't budged from where she started month's ago and they are on par where she as been since she was outpolling John Kerry in 2004 straw polls (where she routinely beat all the "boys") back before she was even (officially) running. That's just odd. By now, any candidate with her backing, connections, and up front money would have the nomination sewn up by now. However, she can't seem to drum up any support past the people who were supporting her 4 years ago. Every time someone dropped out of the running her numbers, remained unchanged but her opposition numbers went up. This to me means there is a huge "anybody but Hillary" wing of our party. Rather than unite us and have us coalesce around her as the consensus candidate she retains her tenacious core but not much more. I have a feeling that this is how she will likely move the country. Just enough to win, but not enough to ever get the mandate she needs to get anything done.

1. But the most recent Gallup daily tracking graph has her at more than 50 percent.

4. and that's why you should never believe Gallup

Gallup pollsters are whores for big business, they're corporatist water boys. That's a ridiculous graph, and is absolutely false. They've been in the Hillary's pocket the whole way, and now they're really stretching credulity.
