6. thats the problem with these stupid polls there a SNAPSHOT in time that...
poll was done on 1-07-08 six days ago. what people said six days ago will not apply in a new poll. so I am not interested after NH all this horse race bullshit from pollsters.

10. I know...but they are more useful than an unsupported claim by a pundit
which is all you have in the OP.

7. I think you heard wrong.
I believe he said that Senator Clinton is up by 3% in polls in SC, but that some of the recent controversies could cause shifts among black and white voters.

12. I think that
issues such as racism and sexism can be discussed in an intelligent and meaningful way. I also think that there are those with agendas that do not include intelligent or meaningful discussion, who hope these issues will divide democrats.

11. Polls are a tool of oppression.
They are blurred snapshots used like feature length documentaries.

They are produced for CUSTOMERS who don't buy what they can't use and the customers, candidates, and pollsters are often all one-and-the-same.
