1. I'd like to see Richardson bump Hillary out of that 3rd slot

And at 16% to 9%, that isn't as far fetched as it used to be.

2. Yep, me too.

I'll be doing one of these when that happens:

9. I'm thinking it will happen well before New Year's.

God I hope so, anyway.

4. SUSA is a reputable firm...so the Republican leanings caveat is not required...

However this is an outlier matched against other recent Iowa polls, which either have Hillary in the lead, slightly behind, or a bit further behind...this is quite a bit different than the most recent three..

A few more will be necessary to see if this is a trend, or a blip...

5. This is Strategic Visions, not SUSA.

The numbers are not far off from what we saw from Des Moines Register.

...only Hillary fares a little worse...

7. I believe

SUSA means Strategic Vision USA....same outfit I believe...I could be wrong...in any case there is no reason to doubt them as a reputable polling outfit.

And the numbers show a 12 point spread on Hillary's number...so four polls taken approx. the same time period have her anywhere from 16 to 28...quite a big spread...

8. Not to belabor but SUSA stands for Survey USA, which is reputable as far as i know.

Strategic Visions has a repuke-leaning bias, according to some.

The numbers are all over the place. What else should we expect this early, eh? Seven more months of fun before a single vote is even cast...

6. Excellent...

Normally, I would say Gobama...but in this case I am going to give a big ol' gorichardson. I think it is awesome that Richardson is closer to overtaking Clinton than Clinton is to over taking Obama.
