1. Wonder why Hillary is leading all over the country

some reports say 20 points over Obama and more over Edwards.

[ElizabethDC]

3. Well, Kos isn't exactly representative of all Democrats

nor is DU, for that matter.

[snowbear]

5. I dunno about that Elizabeth..

I would trust DU or KOS over =any= MSM poll any day of the week.

Although I will give you this... a year out, none of us have a clue.

[ElizabethDC]

7. I wouldn't

how often do those with good netroots win the elections? Who was the favorite on Kos and DU in 2004? I'm pretty sure it wasn't John Kerry. That being said, the internet will have much more influence this time around. However, based on the cross section of people I know, the MSM polls are pretty accurate.

[wyldwolf]

18. The favorite in the netroots in 2004 was Dean... in fact.. MoveOn...

... had Dean #1, followed by (no, not Kerry or Edwards)... Kucinich #2

[wyldwolf]

17. well, KOS and DU polls were sure accurate in 2004... not!

[snowbear]

4. The MSM want her in... The Republicans want her in... The Democrats.. that's a different story.

With apologies to the handful of hardcore Hillaryites on here.

But really Bit.. you should know better than listen to polls a year out..

None of them ever match up with ANY Democratic website you'll find on the web.

[illinoisprogressive]

11. And the msm has been pushing Hillary at us hard.

[EVDebs]

16. If Dems go with Hillary, say TATA to your jobs. That's all I can say

You'll end up with no progressive agenda AT ALL and the globalizationist headsuptheirasses that run things in DC will continue running the country into the ground.

2. EDIT... Ignore my post saying those were April's results.. They are CURRENT..

for May 2007..

Good grief KOS, you had me cornfused..

He has the April info available to look at too. But those numbers ARE for this month..

[UrbScotty]

6. Those are also my top three picks.

For me:

1. Obama
2. Edwards
3. Richardson
4. Kucinich
5. Hillary
6. Dodd
7. Gravel
8. Biden

[snowbear]

8. I wonder who this "no freak'n clue" is that keeps coming in so high?

Gore?

Clark?

Either of them?

[ElizabethDC]

9. Well they might be interested in those who have already entered

I still know people trying to decide between the top three.

[UrbScotty]

14. Funny, because IIRC, Clue is an active DLCer

...who worked on Lieberman's campaign.

[illinoisprogressive]

10. Kos and mydd are edwardsbots. And they try driving the obama people away

[loudsue]

13. Probably because Obama & Hillary are so tight w/ DLC

Kos folks don't go for that kind of thing. I was shocked to see that Gravel was only 3 points below Hillary.

:kick:

[Ready4Change]

12. I could have guessed. Here's how:

For the past 2 weeks, on TV or radio, the only, few times I've heard Edwards mentioned, it was a comment about his haircut.

I conclude that his is the real front runner, and the RW in control of the media are doing what they can to invalidate him. The haircut is all they've got, or else we'd being hearing something else by now.

Go Edwards!

[mnhtnbb]

15. Edwards still leading

Edwards 40%

Obama 25%

Richardson 9%

no freakin' clue 7%

Hillary 6%

[progressoid]

19. Golly, an online poll. That really clears thing up.
