I am prepared to laugh at you.

1. Um...uh...KERRY WAS LEADING AT THIS POINT TOO!

So logically, we should elect the candidate who is polling far, FAR below McCain to be our nominee.

Not Hillary, though--she's lower than he is, but not low enough.

Gravel for President!!!1!1!!1! :evilgrin:

7. Kerry ran an inept campaign against a sitting POTUS...

not responding to attacks quickly, ignoring the religion issue until the 11th hour.

Please demonstrate how Obama is demonstrating any of these qualities, and name the incumbent President he is running against, or this argument must be dismissed as apples vs. broccoli.

5. I suspect setting up people to be laughed AT is not a part of the UNITY campaign?

6. No.

I say this because not one person who has made this assertion has been able to refute this - the efforts so far have been comedic at best.
I will not laugh at someone who can seriously refute RCP's polling data, and can explain to me how Sen. Clinton CAN win the General in the face of polling data that says she can't.
