1. Thanks. The polls are all over the place this week. strange...

3. Not really...

She is between 8-13 points ahead in every one of them...

The Rasmussen that was published showing a 2 pt difference included Democratic leaning independents, who are notoriously volatile...

Among Democrats she is ahead 8 pts even in Rasmussen...

15. How is she doing among Americans? nt

2. what bothers me is that all these polls have Gore in them

Gore is not running. So I don't understand why they include him....

4. Lynn Sweet was saying this today. No reason to put Gore as he is not running

5. Yes and if you watched Tucker today

Tucker and Lynn Sweet stated the Polls are not accurate because Gore is in them. The Polls need to include the acutal candidates who are running. If they did that both of them feel Obama numbers would even be higher than the polls are showing.

7. Most polls include a "without Gore" set of choice and Obama tends to fare worse in those.

Like this one (Cook), Hillary's lead stretches to 11 when Gore is not included. Click on the pdf for details.

8. Wrong. Hillary's lead has been greater in polls that omit Gore.

Remember Clinton-Gore. If people can not have Gore, they prefer another Clinton.

6. future running mates? n/t

9. I'm not sure Hillary would be willing to take the VEEP slot...or that Obama would want her there.

:)

Obama - Clark would be rather tasty though...

10. You and I are thinking alike

I like Obama with Clark

[liberal renegade]

12. ain't gonna happen

mark my words......

[liberal renegade]

13. she's not going to need the veep slot

but Obama will and he'll gladly accept...

[David Zephyr]

11. Go Obama!

:thumbsup:

14. Without Gore Hillary is up 11...

And since Gore is not running I would submit this is the more accurate figure!!!
