Remember when I said we want to run against him?
Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton holds a 9-point lead over rival Barack Obama among likely Pennsylvania Democratic primary voters ahead of the state's April 22 primary, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released on Wednesday.Posted by Karol at April 2, 2008 10:57 AM | TrackBackClinton, a New York senator who would be the first female president, leads the Illinois senator 50 percent to 41 percent, the poll found. She also runs better against the likely Republican nominee, Sen. John McCain, in Pennsylvania, Florida and Ohio -- all important swing states in the general election.
In a general election matchup in Florida, McCain closely trails Clinton 42 percent to 44 percent but McCain leads Obama, who would be the first black president, 46 percent to 37 percent, according to the poll.

I promise not mention Huck in this post...oops, I just mentioned Huck..oh well
Anyways...polls right now mean nothing.
If the war takes a turn for the worse, mccain is done....if mccain picks that fraud Romney as VP, he's done
Posted by: Larry at April 2, 2008 11:12 AMMcCain's not going to pick Romney; the same baggage that damaged him in the primaries would damage McCain in the GE.
And he should be in no hurry to choose his running mate. It would do nothing for him, and just give the MSM more time to smear the ticket.
Posted by: Snoop Diggity-DANG-Dawg at April 2, 2008 11:26 AMI think, if the Dems do lose (which isn't certain--who knows what the hell's going to happen tomorrow), they'll look back at the approximately 4-5 months they gave McCain and kick themselves.
Just proof that there's no one in the Dem party whose big enough to step in and shove one or the other candidate overboard. Even the Goracle can't save Clan Donkey now...
Posted by: James at April 2, 2008 10:06 PMOh yeah, those old reliable national polls.
Posted by: Not Dawn Summers at April 3, 2008 02:04 AMPolls are all well and good, but the state of the economy will also have a big part to play in this election.

Click the link, they're actually state polls.
Posted by: Karol at April 3, 2008 10:54 AMI doubt the economy will mean much this time around. For one thing, Bush isn't running for president again. For another, the Democrats have been running Congress for the last two years. And Bush has been pretty much a liberal in domestic politics.
And it's hard to imagine the war taking an obvious turn for the worse, at least from the American perspective. It looks like the Iraqis are going to spearhead major offensives from now on.
The Rev. Wright stuff was a mortal blow to Obama in the general. If he's the Democratic nominee the Dems are finished unless McCain turns out to be a child molester. The garden variety infidelity scandal won't be enough.
The Democrats need to find a way to nominate Hillary without losing the black vote, and I don't see how they get there from here. Obama supporters still seem to think the general election is a formality if he can secure the nomination.
