  Oh come on now libs, they made up their minds, both groups. Then have no trouble making up their minds, they simply can't agree on one of the two. And I'll have to admit that although the Republicans have made up their minds, I'm not happy with the decision, but at least the candidate issue is settled on the right, while the left continues to cannibalize itself, watching these two try to destroy each other is interesting. Wonder when they'll figure out when one of them is finally picked their opponent will be from the other party.

    Two things strike me as funny here: Democrats act like this is the first time in history a presidential nomination wasn't decided before heading into the national convention. It also illustrates how useless polls truly are.
    I'm guessing now that Obama finally has been pinpointed on some issues, people are learning just how hollow all that "change" rhetoric was early on.

      Is that why Obama leads McCain in the very Gallup poll you cited yourself? FYI, Clinton also leads McCain in the Gallup you cited.
      I'm guessing now that McCain finally has been pinpointed on some issues, people are learning that a McCain presidency will be a continuation of Bush's policies. Voters have already shown distaste for Bush's policies when they turned the 2006 midterm elections into a referendum on Bush and voted the Republicans out of the majority in BOTH chambers of Congress. If the eventual Democratic nominee can demonstrate how little McCain's policies differ from Bush's, then McCain's presidential campaign can be transformed into another referendum on Bush's failed policies.

        I didn't say anything about McCain. At this point, it's easier for the Dems to tee off in McCain than it is for Republicans to tee off on an undecided opponent.
        Don't be surprised if McCain is our next president.

        Actually, that wouldn't surprise me. Either Democratic candidate will face an uphill battle. While a Republican candidate can win by simply energizing the Southern and Central base, the Democratic candidate must be able to turn a swing-state. If McCain can win the reliably Republican Southern bloc and central states, he will win a plurality of electoral votes. There simply aren't enough electoral votes in the Democratic Northeastern and Western states to prevent that.
        What would surprise me is if you actually took the time to read your own articles before posting them. You gloat over Hillary Clinton overtaking Obama in the polls while completely missing that the same poll shows BOTH Clinton and Obama overtaking McCain.
        Don't you read your own articles? LOL

      "libsRfunny" are you from Mars or Venus?
      The Republican never had a black man and a white women "running" for highest office in the land, not seriously as Democrats have now, nor they will ever have.
      1989, I predicted that a Black Man will be our president. You can see that on my website, which is about Afro-American life, from beginning of slavery to the White House.

      Did you manage to find the only poll out of the current 6 of the last 10 days (which by the way claims their sample as V not LV or RV -likely or registered voters, so their V puts their sample immediately as suspicious for its value ) that has her 1% up. The average of all polls has Obama up by 8%
      http://www.realclearpolitics.com/
      Now tell me again why is that a submission ? Why is the effort to pick the 1 in 6 that shows what you wish to see the news to post about? You all republican machiavellian hypocrites with garbage for ethics should be ashamed of yourselves and your methodology to approach the truth .
      We have seen it how it has performed well for the US past 8 years . You have even corrupted one of the democrat candidates to play dirty like you . Enjoy the graveyard that both History and the American people will place your methods to VERY SOON.I'm gonna have a party while this is taking place. The end of political and mental tyranny is indeed a beautiful prospect .

  um, go to:
  http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/pr...
  you will see that Obama is clearly ahead.
  the RCP avg. has him up nearly 8 points.
  and...
  a 1 point spread? that's a statistical tie. but in three other polls, Obama is ahead by 10 points or more.
  so, go ahead. keep saying he can't win. keep saying he's unelectable. keep saying whatever you want. it only seems to help Obama.

    lol, yeah, right. This is just the Gallup Poll, not the average of several polls over past couple months, which is how RealClearPolitics does it's thing.
    I find it interesting how when a single poll has Bush's "approval" ratings low - yet still higher than Congressional ratings, liberals like yourself are all for it.
    But, when someone posts poll averages from RealClearPolitics showing Bush's overall averages are better than a single poll, all of a sudden, it's a "right wing web site." I actually had some moron say that.
    Here's a lil tip on how to read polls: MOVEMENT is the big thing. Are they going up or down? That's about the only use they provide.
    And, in this case, Obama's polling is going down. Maybe next poll will show it going up.

      The key now is not so much with the national polling but what the polls say out of the next three states in play - Pennsylvania, Indiana, and North Carolina. Results here will either end this race or it will allow the race to move forward into June. It all starts Tuesday Night in Pennsylvania. Polling currently shows Senator Clinton up by as few as 3 percentage points. Without question she needs a double digit win here to make any kind of statement that would cause the 'Supers' to start going her way. One well known conservative radio talk show host in Philly is predicting Obama will win the state 51% to 49%. If this happens and I don't think it will, Hillary will be out of the race by Thursday. If she wins by 1 to 5 percentage points it will be spun by the media as a Obama win. The race would then go on to Indiana and North Carolina but with no 'Momentum' for Clinton thus setting up a possible sweep of the two states by Senator Obama.

        How about Hillary winning it by a few points in Pennsylvania and managing to still lose in the total delegates of all contests? Notice the % difference in Indiana and Pennsylvania are declining for Hillary but the N. Carolina one is steady at 14% .
        Of course if most democrats knew what is good for them they would deliver a blow to Hillary here and end everything. Instantly this would give Obama a 10% boost countrywide in the next few weeks . I do expect rational people will start understanding the true value in that outcome for the party. It is shame for America to try to cannibilize one of the best candidates it had in a while at the benefit of true liars, machiavellian characters and otherwise uninspiring corrupt politicians. History will not be kind at all with that segment of the population that proved inept and uneducated , totally unable to reach the most appropriate decision in so many issues for a decade. That time is rapidly ending though. No more wrong directions.

      Do you know what else the Gallup poll YOU CITED shows? It shows BOTH Obama and Clinton have taken over the lead from John McCain, who had built a small lead in head-to-head matchups not more than a few weeks ago.
      The "movement" you cite shows McCain's numbers dropping below BOTH Obama's and Clinton's for the first time in weeks. I guess McCain's numbers are "moving" down, whilst Obama's and Clinton's numbers are "moving" up. From your own article, the numbers as of today are:
      Obama: 45% McCain: 44%
      Clinton: 46% McCain: 44%
      You would have known this if you had actually bothered to read your entire article IN FULL. Thanks for posting the GOOD NEWS!

        Read into it what you will. Easier for Obama and Clinton to keep momentum going while McCain is relegated to being a temporary spectator.
        Things will be different when the real race begins.
        Also, just as with the latest Gallup poll, when factoring in margin of error, all races are deadlocked. But, you can pretend you have great news on your hands. Ignorance is bliss, after all. LOL

        all the polls are not deadlocked. I proved that above.
        Obama is ahead in many polls by larger than the statistical plus/minus margins of error.
        even the RCP avg. has obama ahead of clinton by 7.7% which is more than any of the polls' plus/minus margins of error.
        but you keep spinning. we'll back up so you can flail away.

        "Also, when factoring in margin of error, all races are deadlocked."
        LOL. It's entertaining watching you try to analyze data as if you knew what you were doing. FYI, the national polls will not determine the winner of the Democratic primary as most states have already voted. The only polls that do matter are the ones in remaining states. And in those states:
        1) Obama has shrunk Clinton's double-digit lead in Penn to single digits.
        2) Obama has erased Clinton's lead in Indiana.
        3) Obama leads by 14.5% in North Carolina.
        3) Obama leads in Oregon by 10%.
        The only national head-to-head poll that IS relevant is the one you are ignoring -- the one between McCain and the Democratic candidates -- because that general election IS predictable by national poll data. And in that poll McCain is losing momentum to BOTH Obama and Clinton.
        LOL

        There's no such thing as a "most accurate poll." The statistically limiting effects of sampling, chi square tests, p-values, etc. apply to ALL polls. The fact you would make such an ill-informed statement reveals how lacking your background in fundamental statistical principles is.
        Regardless, it's laughable LIBS would attempt to use this Gallup poll to slam the Democrats when HIS OWN poll shows McCain losing ground to BOTH Obama and Clinton. It's as if he didn't bother to read his own article before posting it. LOL.
        And then, of course, there's you who has to resort to quoting another poll because you don't happen to like th results of this one--falsely believing that somehow the limits of sampling, chi square tests, p-values, etc. applies only to Gallup. That Rasmussen can somehow defy fundamental statistical principles.
        LOL.

      gallup is not right wing. not in my book. if it was it'd be hard to explain how obama has been up on hillary for so long in the gallup poll.
      but to look at one result and ignore all the other results that say something different (which you did), well, thats just stupid.
      and congress getting low approval ratings doesn't really point to one specific thing or another since many people feel negatively about congress for many reasons. the ratings for congress were low when it was controlled by the GOP (actually rock bottom) and they're low now. and all the people who claim this congress is a "do nothing" congress should look into just how many filibusters the GOP has done since the dems took over.
      but bush is different. one man. no personnel changes. and the ratings continue to sink. so thats simply all about him.
      and its obvious he is doing a very bad job.

      http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/pr...
      Does that Obama curve look downtrending to you? Do you notice how the date on the last point in the chart is near the last 2 days ? More garbage lies to expose your real intentions. You would love Hillary as opponent woudlnt you? Well DREAM ON.

  Its like trying to choose between two used and raggedy old
  couches to put in your living room. The choices just leave you
  staring. I've said it before, I want some other choices for president, I do not want any of these people in the whitehouse, that includes McCain. If McCain were elected president the media would spend four years stripping him of any dignity he has. The media has become a verbal meat grinder that will take no prisoners. All future GOP candidates will be compared with president Bush. I almost have to question why you would want to serve in public office anymore. It has become a very large fish barrel and there is no escape.
  I will not vote in this election

  Top Hillary Fundraisers Rip Into Howard Dean For Saying Super-Dels Should Announce Support "Starting Now"
  Two of Hillary Clinton's most prominent fundraisers tore into Howard Dean in interviews with me today, sharply criticizing the DNC chair for saying yesterday that super-delegates should say which Dem candidate they support "starting now."
  "Governor Dean should do what he has said he will do -- refrain from injecting himself into the primary process, as millions of Democrats have yet to cast their votes," Hillary national finance chair Hassan Nemazee, one of the most influential fundraisers in the Democratic Party, told me today.

  "I have never put any stock in polls, not likely to start now."
  Remember that the next time you see Bush's "approval" ratings, which are conducted via a poll. Also keep in mind Congressional approval ratings consistently rank lower than the President's.

    You keep harping on the silly "approval" ratings of congress. An opinion poll of congress as a whole is absolutely meaningless. An opinion poll of each INDIVIDUAL member of congress would have some relevance.
    Maybe even an average of the opinion polls of each member would have some relevance, but opinion polls of congress as a unit is meaningless and only used as a political club by right wingers trying to make Bush's numbers look better by comparison.
    BTW - Only a couple members of congress would poll lower than Bush and those would be the ones under indictment or caught in a public bathroom.

  The Democrat Party is screwing themselves. By picking the most far left guy they have had since McGovern apparently they haven't learned there lesson. Imagine a 28% tax on capital gains, idiotic!
  The republicans picked the best candidate for the general election a middle of the roader like McCain. The Dems led by the Moveon, Huffington, DailyKos crowd will probably pick the guy most aligned with there views. What a monumental miscalculation. All the middle of the roaders belong to McCain. Not even Dem centrists can stomach Obama. I predict a victory of Nixonian proportions for McCain. An 18,000,000 vote landslide like Nixon's may not be possible but it might be close tp that.

    85% of the American public is now opposed to the Iraq war that "middle of the road" McCain wholeheartedly supports.
    "Imagine a 28% tax on capital gains, idiotic!"
    That's what it was for quite a few years of American prosperity. You don't have to imagine a low paid hourly worker losing over 30% of their pay in taxes, that is currently what is happening right now.
    The tax on speculator's profits is far below that, and 28% would still be less than an hourly worker now pays. Oh, and the trickle down theory as justification for the rich paying less (as a percentage) than the poor, is pure unadulterated crap.
    "Not even Dem centrists can stomach Obama."
    That's as silly as your "Nixonian" victory.

      Even the best the leftitarded Huff 'n Puff Post could find was 61%, and many of those oppose the "cut and run." The fact is that we are there. How do we get out without leaving a vacuum that makes the situation worse than when Sadly Insane was running things?

        Sorry, my bad. It depends on what the question is. Try "Do you think the Iraq war was a good idea?" Again, 80% of the American people are opposed to something that the middle of the road McCain supports wholeheartedly.
        I like the new "leftitarded" insult. It sums up perfectly the depth of your understanding of the issues and your level of intelligence in discussing them.
        "...without leaving a vacuum that makes the situation worse than when Sadly Insane was running things?"
        Who gives a flying f***k what the Iraqis do in their own country? They did not attack us and the oil belongs to the Iraqis, not us.

Apparently Rush Limbaugh is still pushing Operation Chaos but in a new direction. A friend of mine was listening when he started the new pitch. I found the transcript on his website
"This is all the evidence that you need to hear that Operation Chaos is working. They have to end this. Now, yesterday, I made my own pitch to the superdelegates of the Democrat party, as we initiated the doomsday phase of Operation Chaos, and it is clear after this debate in Philadelphia on Wednesday night that neither of these two can get elected. Obama is falling apart before our very eyes. The messiah characteristics of Barack Obama have been obliterated, and he has been revealed to be nothing more than your average politician who hasn't yet acquired the experience sufficient to let him get away with all the lies that he tells.

  Mrs. Clinton is known by enough people that half the country hates her. They cannot win. So my pitch to the superdelegates, "You've got to get rid of these two. Somehow you have got to come up with a third candidate if you hope to win."
  How many superdelegates haven't even been named yet? Answer 64, 65. Howard Dean wants the superdelegates to vote now. Almost 10% of them haven't been named. Chairman Dean, you and the other white guys had better realize that Hillary Clinton is not -- by the way, he wants them to vote now to get Obama nominated. That's his whole point, just end this. There's no way he can be saying this now for the superdelegates to vote for Hillary.

Obama, Rezko, Auchi, and Ayers have a Palestinian rerrorist friend, a Mr Rashid Khakidi. They raised money for him. He has direct ties to the PLO. Right now hw is teaching in N Y, but he is a bad influence on a man who fancies himself President.

I began to notice this dip in Obama's numbers (according to Gallup at least) yesterday, when a poll showed Clinton closing Obama's lead to three points. This is quite a surge, but the question is, can she sustain it or is it a statistical blip?

  I've never been polled on how I planned to vote, but I have responded to 3 or maybe 4 other research polls over the past 10 years. One was for TV-watching habits and two were about topics that were important to me FOR an election, but not about any candidates specifically. It seems like there was another one, maybe about radio, but that's a bit foggy, maybe not.
