#1 Besides women and Catholics, these include the elderly, the less educated and suburbanites, leading Clinton to argue she is her party's stronger candidate.
'the less educated' being key here

#2 early polling shows

Comparative analysis of the validity of early poles against the final vote? This is space filler by the usual suspects to cover the columns and airtime between ads.

It's known as bandwagoning. PROPAGANDA [remember its evil if the Trunks do it, but OK if the Donks or their minions do it].

#3 And the relevance of this to electoral vote count is?

#4 CATHOLICS?!?!?!????

Do they know how radical an abortion backer this guy Obama is?

The ignorance and gullibility of the public astounds me.

#5 Considering the source of the poll, I will brush it off as propaganda at the moment.

#6 trailing with people over age 65

They may want to tamp down the Old White Guy rhetoric. After all, Spite is the most underestimated motivator.

#7 "he's doing no worse than the past two Democratic presidential candidates."

Neither of who were named Clinton, and who both lost.

We vote by states. Given that the Repubs who dislike McCain are heavily concentrated in "red states" and the Dems who dislike Obama are heavily concentrated in swing states, its quite possible that Obama could win the popular vote and lose the electoral vote. Wont that be fun?

#8 This is simply propaganda retaliation against Hillary's recent claims. Doesn't matter if there is truth or not.

#9 I think the d's are framing that discussion as we speak in anticipation of Denver.

bo's "new" is wearing off earlier than I thought (with the media). Without that shiny coat intelligent people should begin to realize how important it is to have competence in the White House. bo, 8 years too early at least.

#12 Mojo: perhaps that headline will work also in extreme Southern Florida.

#13 on a serious note; if/when BHO takes on Mcpain in a series of debates I think mcpain thrashes him. BHO's lack of experience will become glaring, the only thing he has is youth. I think his wife is a political liability.

The public will see who looks more presidential - when mcpain was visiting iraq obama was having to defend wright (which he ultimately backtracked on). White hillary voters will prolly vote for juan. If juan goes for the juggular I think he wins by 10 pts. The country is ready for a black prez, just not this one.
