1. you know that Warner's stock has risen dramatically

in the past few days for his role in Kaine winning in Virginia.

3. True. His numbers will shoot up over the next couple months.

But this poll is news none the less. So I decided Id post it regardless of whether or not I liked the results.

2. Can you say: NAME RECOGNITION

What is one thing that Evan Bayh, Russ Feingold, Tom Vilsack, and Mark Warner have in common? THEY DONT HAVE ANY.

Biden ran for President once, Clark ran for President once, and obviously everybody knows who Kerry, Edwards, and Clinton are.

4. True.

5. Presidential primary polls

at this point are useless. They just gauge name identification.

6. In 1991 Jerry Brown and Mario Cuomo led the poll.

Cuomo of course never ran and Brown never really was all that much of a contender.

7. At this time 4 years ago....

Pollsters weren't even bothering to INCLUDE Howard Dean in '04 presidential polls, back in 2001 and 2002.
