Polls comparing Obama/Clinton to Mcain are worthless before the primary is settled

2. Really? Seems Obama supporters used to tout them all the time when he was the

one who could beat McCain.

Guess they're worthless because they show Hillary is the electable candidate -- is that it?

LEAD: A Democratic ticket led by Gov. Michael S. Dukakis of Massachusetts with the Rev. Jesse Jackson as his running mate would defeat Vice President Bush in a general election, a poll made public today showed.

A Democratic ticket led by Gov. Michael S. Dukakis of Massachusetts with the Rev. Jesse Jackson as his running mate would defeat Vice President Bush in a general election, a poll made public today showed.

Without Mr. Jackson, a Dukakis-Bush contest would be a toss-up, and alone Mr. Jackson would be crushed by the Vice President, the Roper Organization survey showed. But together the two Democrats would win, the poll found.

The poll, a survey of more 1,000 voters conducted for U.S. News & World Report magazine, showed that such a ticket would defeat Mr. Bush and the running mate of his choice by 47 percent to 42 percent. The nationwide telephone poll has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus four percentage points.

4. It's not settled

We need to stop getting complacent here. The superdelegates are not going to nominate Obama if he's been so weakened that he can't win the general. We've got to keep working and keep donating and keep posting on blogs defending him against the smears and stop acting like it's over.

5. Well, DUH!

They have one candidate, we still have two--not factoring that into the polls in unprofessional at best and incompetent at worst!

9. That has nothing to do with comparing the relative performance of each Dem

It is why they are losing against McCain now but it has nothing to do why Obama's 9-10 point electability advantage over Clinton was evaporated and turned into a deficit.

6. Early days yet... much more water under the bridge to come

McCain is a flawed and weak GE candidate whose only real asset is the incomprehensible MSM man-love for him. That needs to be overcome by any DEM candidate.

7. Obama's electability going down steadily is something to be considered and will be by sds

11. Wish that in one hand

and shit it another and see which bears fruit...err...or shit first.
