According to Des moine register poll Hilary is on top in IOWA. I guess Huff post does not think it is important news. If there is any bad news for hilary it gets posted at the speed of light.

If it is a dead heat or narrow lead, this is a great advantage since Edwards has been camped out in Iowa for three years. We'll all be toasting Hill with a glass of ethanol in Jan.

Are a small states like Iowa and New Hampshire and a small percentage of the voters in this country once again going to be able to chose the looser,like they have done in the past.

Here's another inconvenient truth for The Huffington Post (aka Obama Blog) courtesy of the Des Moines Register:

"Hillary Clinton has climbed into first place in a new Des Moines Register poll of Iowans expected to participate in the state"s Democratic presidential caucuses, with John Edwards and Barack Obama both in striking distance.

The Iowa Poll shows 29 percent of likely caucusgoers preferring Clinton, a New York senator, an improvement from the Register"s most recent poll in May.

Edwards was the choice of 23 percent in the new poll, slipping from the top spot since the May survey to nearly even with Obama.

Obama, an Illinois senator, was at 22 percent , virtually unchanged from May."

Yes that's right.

She's now leading in Iowa as well, according to this poll published Sunday,10/7:

who's leading on bill's poll?

bill and schillary are professional liars - hso what - they have been doing it to you and me and themselves for many years - schillary will stop at nothing/do anything to get into the oral office where she will sit at the same desk her husband once used to hide an intern

Hillary will be worse than Bush
She is just a smarter, cleverer version of George.

She wants to be a war president too
The attack on Iran will be left to her

As to the original post, the electoral college-basis for presidential elections puts greatest emphasis on state-by-state voting. National polls are somewhat useful to candidates at this point, but the state primary caucuses or voting, is what is important now. Especially, the early voting. It seems premature to declare Mrs. Clinton the Democratic candidate (or even the presidential winner) when not one single vote has been cast. Last time around, Govenor Dean was the national polling favorite prior to being mugged in Iowa. Yes, it yielded Senator Kerry, but, so much for national polls a year out.

I don't know about you,but if Hillary had
chosen one shade darker for her outfit,I
swear it looked like she was speaking
to a group of people in China.
Must admit,that I cheered very loud when
Clinton took the initiative over Kosovo.
It was on the way to my birthday party and a
friend connected to the Peruvian Embassy
citized the action.
He hated Clinton,and quoted Pinochet.
Miles from anywhere,we asked him to
get out of the car and find a taxi.

Now it is more important than ever to expose Mrs. Clinton's religious agenda as outlined the current issue of Mother Jones. Her ideology is contrary to the progressive movement. Read it and weep.

Iowa cannot be so out of step with the rest of the country. The so-called national polls are baloney.

Anyone who thinks any of these candidates have it tied up is diluted. Hillary & Obama moved to the right and lost me- OUT OF IRAQ (and Afghanistan (mistake #1) and NO WAR WITH IRAN)PERIOD. Return all rights lost in the last 6+ years, void all appointments (supreme Court), liberally convict and imprison all conspirators to this agenda of Imperalism and Dictatorship, fueled by Capitalism. Drastically reduce military presence throughout the world- expect for humanitarian aid.Begin to rebuild our reputation by working more closely with the UN. I want to know how we're going to the China debt off our kids backs, and I want all to have great health care- including long term care. I want immediate response to environmental issues. I wnt to see grain in peoples bowls and not in silos rotting- or still in the fields. I want necessary medications to resolve illness to be readily available and free as needed. I want the backbone of life as we know it- the labor force revered for what they do- regardless of educational attainment.Basic life requiremnets given- fresh clean water to drink, warm housing,the opportunity to make a real living.I want everyone to have the right to make an ass out of themselves in public.I want people to have such a lust for life the continue learnning everday of theri life and have no need for drugs to make life tolerable. I want every child to be born healthy, cared for, safe and loved.Perhaps I ask too much.
