Question about the polls showing candidates v. MCCain
I have been wondering whether supporters of Hillary may be saying to pollsters, "I'd vote for McCain if he was running against Obama" and if Obama supporters are saying, "I'd vote for McCain if he was running against Clinton."

That would skew the polls for each and have McCain look better than he might if the Dem candidate had already been chosen.

2. I thought about that as I was typing my post but
live in my optimistic little world, that people will wake up to the SCOTUS issue once the primary season is over

3. I hate it when I post such wise insightful posts and get only
one reply, althouogh it is better than my wise insightful posts which get no reply.

4. We're too busy trying to kill each other to care.
