Reply #61: What polls are you looking at?

[AP]

40% on Southern super tuesday. 40% today. He's holding steady.

Juan Williams and David Brooks arguing for Gephardt? You want me to rebut that? It speaks for itself.

I'm not going to argue whether Edwards's populism is fake. I find that notion absurd. Understanding a politicians convictions and policy positions isnt' reading tea leaves. I find it insincere for someone like you, who seems to spend a lot of time thinking about politics, to be pretending that you believe that "credulity" argument above.

Suffices to say, I find your gep arguments (and your Edwards criticisms) merely an attempt to cushion the blow of disappointment rather than provide a set of coherent sensible reasons to pick him.

I'll say it again, a gold watch would suffice. Gore got the P-slot for time served and look how that played out. It's always better to go with the person the people like and who can connect with them, and who would make the better president.
