So about these GE polls.

Putting aside how premature they are for the moment and that the picture is sure to change once the nominations are nailed down and settled once and for all, here's one thing I have a serious problem with.

We keep seeing polls that say "If Obama is the nominee would you vote for Obama or McCain" and "If Clinton was the nominee would you vote for Clinton or McCain".

What we never see is "If Obama wins the pledged delegate race in the primaries and caucuses and the Democratic party super delegates give the nomination to Clinton, would you vote for Clinton or McCain?"

I have not seen one single poll that even attempts to get a measure of what impact winning the nomination in that manner would have on support for the Democratic candidate in the GE even though it's been painfully obvious for weeks that that is the only way Clinton will win the nomination. People have got to be interested in what the impact might be... so why is nobody asking during all these different polls?

I'm tempted to suggest some letters be written to some of the MSM news outfits and major polling firms asking why nobody is looking into this. It's not exactly trivial info.

1. You don't have to worry the powers that be will make sure

BO gets it. The fix is in.

2. The fix is in?

The race isn't over yet, but he leads in every category: states, delegates, popular vote. How can you call that a fix with a straight face?

3. That's funny, awhile back I heard someone say TPTB will make sure

Hillary gets it, the fix is in, they don't think Obama's tough enough to beat McCain.

Man, those Powers That Be must be incredibly conflicted.

Unlike the voters.
