And there is no reason why we should use them as the basis choosing for the nominee. Furthermore, EITHER Democratic candidate is of necessity not going to be doing that well in the polls while they are both still in the race going after each other and McLame is, much like the proverbial cheese, standing alone.

Thank you. :hi:

3. They are of very little value -- the closer the poll, the less value.
I think if they show a big margin, they are of more of a value, but I agree that polls this far out can be misleading.

The reason I think Obama will lose the EC is because of demographics in 3 key swing states -- not just polls.

4. Of course, and people who are for Hillary might say they are for McCain
Edited on Mon Mar-24-08 11:01 AM by Quixote1818
instead of Obama and those for Obama might say they are for McCain instead of Hillary, just so polls show there candidate doing better against McCain.
