The '08 race has revealed the weird science of the Democratic primary system -- and the true problem with the long Obama-Clinton battle.
  • Do even national polls now mean anything - or is it too early?

    I'm voting for whoever gets the Democtratic nomination, so really, I just want them to pick someone so I can get to November and vote against McCain. However...please recall that some national polls had Kerry up by about 11 points in early July of 2004 (I actually went back and found the exact number).

    By the time the Republican convention was over the lead was down to a few points and by the time they were done swift-boating Kerry they were tied or Kerry was behind. Sorry, but I'm not sure the polls right now, even if they show one of the Democrats or both of them ahead, mean anything come November. We simply don't know what will happen between now and November...whoever gets the nomination. Or, has someone here been to the future, seen what will happen and can tell us the outcome, and, if so, can you please provide the following info so I can place some bets: Stanley Cup, NBA Finals & NCAA tournament winners, please.
