68. I'm not making an argument for or against Hillary or Obama, I'm simply stating, ...
the polling to date in this elections has been off the mark too often to be trusted. Second that even if it was accurate for today, the electorate can be easily swayed by just about anything from a terror attach to swiftboating, and what is significant today has little bearing on public opinion 9 months from now. Third, that it is not conspiracy theory to realize the potential that these polls could be designed to manipulate. And, four, I don't thik Hillary is the stronger candidate for the future, because it is too early to gather criteria to make that decision, which whenever made is likely to be little more than a guess or opinion.

I will boldly state, if a person chooses to believe in the iching and uses three coins to determine the future and the sentiments of the electorate as a whole, nine months from now after who knows what future events, that person is equally enlightened as to the actual outcome of the general election as if he/she were to study and speculate on todays probably inaccurate polls.

For me it matters little as I see the Obama Hillary debate as six of one half a dozen of the other. The system of government or the democratic party will not significantly change, and viewing how the democratic party has performed the last seven years, they deserve another republican trouncing. It might be beneficial in helping them to become a genuine opposing party, if the world can survive in the mean time.
