4. These national polls mean absolutely nothing....
...and I think they are a last-ditch effort to create an illusion about how well Hillary is doing.

Look at every poll---in the states where we have had a caucus/vote or an impending caucus or vote.

Hillary always has HUGE leads before the campaigns enter those states. When the campaigns
are unleashed on those states--Obama surpasses her or the race is even.

In Iowa, Hillary had a commanding lead months (and even weeks) before the caucus. She
ended up on a downward trend with Obama and Edwards on upward trends, until the caucus--where
she came in third.

In New Hampshire, Hillary had a 15+ point lead over Obama in November! Hillary beat Obama, by
only 2-3 percentage points.

Now look at Nevada. In June, CNN had Hillary up by 28 points over Obama. Now, the latest
poll shows Obama up by 2.

In South Carolina, in November--a Pew Research Poll had Hillary up by 14. Now, Obama is up by
at least 10 in most polls.

Look at all of these numbers from Iowa, NH, NV and SC in November---just two months ago! Hillary had
commanding, double-digit leads in all of these states. NONE of her leads held up when the
campaigns came to town.

These national polls--where the candidates have not yet heavily campaigned--are meaningless.
Yes, Clinton has leads in those states, but those leads have evaporated
in ALL FOUR states that have had elections or will have an election in the next week.

5. The same state that handed us Bush, while stealing the election from Gore
Woopdee-doo.

Can't someone just get out a big old scissors and cut that wart off this country, already?

6. Man, Hillary is kicking ass in the states without delegates that nobody can campaign in.

7. doesn't matter. Plus, anytime Obama shows up at a state his poll numbers go up
and he hasn't gone to FL anytime lately that I know of.
