Polls
I'll vote for whichever piece of trash will get the Presidential election reduced to 8 weeks and mandate that all elections and campaigns be publicly funded.
Polls are liars' math.

Alarm the Troops, Walter
It's time to mobilize. Earn your pay, at any rate.

Media and the Clintons
Just read Kurtz's wailing on Media Notes and now Walter. What is with you guys. After a Clinton is inevitable spell it is now all Clinton is evitable and not available? You people seem to hunt in packs. Nothing new here. Let's leave it to the folks in Iowa and New Hampshire. All this earnest non-reporting is boring. Do you guys get paid per post?

Hillary Is the Only Democrat Who Can Win
Iowa and NH Dems can put it away for Hillary -- or not. They should just remember this: the Republican hate machine is out there to savage any Democrat running in the general election, and it is naive to think it would be used only against her. She is the only one who can throw it right back at them and win.

Hillary's future
Hillary's lead on all levels is going to continue to shrink as more and more democrats wake up to the fact that they have other competitive choices. If she loses in Iowa, look out! Her support across the nation will change. Hillary is, ultimately, a step into the past and that isn't what America wants right now. She is a divisive, big government democrat that wants to expand the doctrine of taking taxpayer money to buy votes and enlarge the payroll of government.

Rigged Mich. Dem. Primary 1 Week After N.H.
The Michigan Democrats are holding a Primary Election on January 15. They only have three candidates on the ballot: Hillary, Kucinich, and Dodd.
It would take to long to explain how this came about. But the result surely will be that Hillary will win Michigan. So now they are talking about Michigan as her firewall, even though it will come out of an utterly fouled-up, probably corrupt situation.

Thanks Mickey...
I've been hearing for weeks now that "Oh, Clinton is too divisive of a figure...Clinton is hated more than anyone else running for office...Clinton this, Clinton that..." Blah blah blah.
Bullshit, I sez. Nevermind the fact that EVEN in the midst of the Monica Lewinsky Scandal, and after 8 solid years of Clinton-bashing by Republicans, the public still liked the Clintons in general more times than not.
All I got to say is this...if our country is more willing to put a man like Giuliani over Clinton into the White House, given ALL of the gaffes, misappropriations, philandering affairs, and shady business dealings...if people would rather have THAT man in the White House instead...then we absolutely deserve everything we'll get over the next 4-8 years after Bush.
Honestly, Obama is still getting my vote for now...but Hillary will inevitably win, and she'll get my vote when it's needed the most.

HRC- All Policy, No Leadership
I'm sick of triangulation. I'm sick of nuanced parsing. Of sound bytes that have wiggle-room.
To win my vote, show me leadership, show the ability to have a room full of people walk out after your speech with fire in their belly. Talk clearly of your vision. Do that and your numbers will take care of themselves.

Hillary's is likely to be the only demcocrat that can win.
If Hillary's the nominee, it'll be a near miracle, after the brutal determination throughout media, to destroy her. Hillary has tried in every way, to soften this determination; but the right-wingers are merciless. They control our politics, and will do everything that can to keep it that way. The Hillary haters have a 50/50 chance of beating her down. But the rest of us democrats will have a good deal less a chance of winning the presidency, should she lose, against which ever slob the republicans, with media clearly on their side, come up with. Nothing prooves her greater qualifications for the job, than the apoplexy of the republicans, in their mad rush to oppose her.

A Hillary Clinton Win will The End of the Democratic Party
The democratic party caved into Bush and Cheney's demands for war against Iraq and our liberty.
The democratic party's refusal to impeach the criminals Bush and Cheney was strike one.
The democratic party's cowardice to end the Iraq war without BS timetables was strike two.
If Hillary Clinton wins the democratic nomination it'll be strike three.
Hillary Clinton: She's Bush with a bra.

A Hillary Clinton Win will The End of the Democratic Party?
Really? The boys at the National Review think the GOP is pretty much screwed no matter what.

@ timbuktom
I don't think the Michigan primary is going to be at all relevant to the nomination. Is there any reason to think that vote's going to count?

We're Going to Surprise You..
I am one of those NH independents who ditched Bill Bradley in order to help John McCain give W a 19-point thumping in the 2000 primary. The pollsters never saw it coming.
Six years later, NH’s First District voters consciously defied Washington’s Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and elected neophyte Carol Shea-Porter to Congress. The pollsters didn’t anticipate that one either.
But how could they? Partisan pollsters typically pretend to be neutral, while hiding the fact that they’re bankrolled by big-money clients. Much of the NH electorate has come to distrust pollsters of every stripe. Many of us respond to a relentless slew of polling inquiries by providing misleading answers, or none at all.
Your poll numbers are unreliable. Hanging out on NH’s Main Streets would give you a much better idea of who’s going to take NH on January 8.
It will be Obama and Romney, by the way.

Tom Morgan....Romney? Really?
I have to say, I gained a lot of respect for New Hampshire independents when they saw through Bush, and handed him a pounding in 2000. But if they're really going to go for Romney, I would lose all respect for them, Romney is one of the few republicans in public life, and the only one running, that I would actually prefer Bush to.
I was actually hoping they might swing it for Ron Paul or Alan Keyes, just as a protest vote, to really wake the republicans up to what a weak lineup they have, but if their going to go for the most obviously shallow, and hollow candidate to run in the last 50 years...man, that really is disappointing.
