American Research Group(ARG) comes to the rescue again!!!

Every time Obama or Edwards get close to Hillary ARG comes out with a poll that is out of sync with the moment.

It is obvious that ARG is using its polling to keep Hillary standing on the impending tide.

I am even willing to think they are calling 30% of known Hillary supporter and another 70% are actual new people being polled.

If anyone wants to beat Hilary in the primary they need to follow the advise in a commentary I read yesterday. Here is the link, it is interesting

Huffpo never cease to amaze me with all their ridiculous photos of Obama.

Republicans are warming to Hillary for two reasons:

1) Out of all the Democrats, she would be the easiest to beat in the general election.

2) Out of all the Democrats, she would make the best president if she won.

Well from these poll results in Iowa and common sense I would say that Hillary has made the same mistake as her alter ego and declared "mission acccomplished" before the real battle has begun. Yet people keep clinging to second tier candidates and no tier candidates (Gore) over narrow and nuanced single issues rather than making a race out of the Democratic primary to select someone who can win in the general with impressively high ratings for every progressive political ideal and issue that I can think of except that he had the audacity to run for President. Then there is the canard about lack of experience. Senator Obama has whipped the pants off of every "supposedly more experienced" second tier candidate and has run neck and neck in organization and fund raising against the biggest Clinton/DLC juggernaut in my memory. So what is wrong with this picture? So what's with the so called liberal progressives? Is Barack a human rights and gay rights advocate, hell yes. Is Barack against this evil war and want to get our troops out as quickly and safely as possible, oh hell yes. Is Barack for a woman's choice, yes of course. Is Hillary more capable and intelligent than Barack Obama on health care, SS, understanding the constitution, or other domestic issues, no way. So where's the beef? It is getting harder and harder by logical and deductive reasoning to understand. Everyone says that a black man can't win in the general and yet the facts are that Senator Obama's negative ratings are lower Hillary's in almost every demographic group and particularly among moderate independents and swing republicans.

Maybe it's the historic tendency for liberal progressives to self-destruct over the absolutism and the purity of their politically myopic lenses through which they view candidates. I will proudly and I believe intelligently continue to work for Barack Obama to be the Democratic presidential nominee.

OBAMA/WEBB '08

You go Obama!

Take out the war-mongers!

WHO IN THE WORLD ARE THEY POLLING? ALIENS?

The only way to get out of this Bush-Clinton-Bush merry-go-round is Edwards/Obama.

Populism is the only effective cure for the cancer of corporate fascism. Save America!

THIS JUST IN! 100 percent of the people will not agree with their chosen candidates 100 percent of the time. I'm a huge Obama supporter and I'm not comfortable with the whole McGurkin issue either. But Obama is running to be president of the United States - not just president of me. I am smart enough to realize there are many, many belief systems and ideas out there and some I really disagree with. But that's America. The freedom to believe or not to believe. That doesn't mean that belief system should be removed or discounted. Obama isn't pandering. He realizes he's going to be president of the UNITED States of America. All of us. Some people will disagree with him and some will agree. Pick another issue and those people who disagreed will agree, and those who agreed won't.

IMPEACH CLINTON '09

IMPEACH CLINTON '09

Edwards is the way to go. He is progressive and electable. He has dedicated his life to fighting against the profit/death machine in his work, and now is running for president. What's not to like. He's a mill kid made good, and for those of you that don't know that means he earned his own money.

Edwards/Obama 08!!

If Senators Clinton and Obama manage to scratch each other's eyes out, Edwards may rise to the nomination. Not a bad result. I think, however, that the electorate will come to their senses about Hillary's being Bush Lite (or Bush in drag, if you will), and Barak will win her votes.

If the fundie Christians** stick to their guns and back away from Romney or Giuliani as threatened, Barak could end up as president. While I can see some international PR benefits from his election, I'm not at all sure he is up to the job. Edwards probably is.

**Personally, I cannot get the words fundamentalist and Christian into the same sentence.

Dead candidates in Iowa. You finally got rid of Edwards the only live one running.

Trick of Treat. Now Democrats are supposed to pick between the born again homophobic bigot and the darling of NAFTA, IMF and the World bank. Both pro war. No thank you DLC. If Nader does not run I will write him in.

I'm so tired of holding my nose before going into the voting booth. Just once I'd like to be able to vote for someone, rather than against someone. Sadly, to me, none of these candidates on either side really excite me, and the frontrunners especially turn me off, so it looks like another bullet vote coming up in 2008....
