1. Good for Bill!

[surfermaw]

34. Hasn't he been at 7% forever

last poll coming out of N,H giving Edwards an increase, with Hillary and Obama loosing....

[peoli]

2. O.o

[MadBadger]

3. Hahahahahahahaha!!!

You're a riot Methuen!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

7. Edwards falling to 16, Richardson rising at 7, MOE 5%.

You're not in Iowa anymore, Johnny.

[MadBadger]

9. I came here expecting him to be 1 or 2 point down, and I see him 9 points down

That is not on the verge, that is disengenious.

[burythehatchet]

16. I can't stop giggling

[MethuenProgressive]

18. That's a direct quote from Johnny, isn't it?

:hi:

[cali]

4. well, not quite on the verge

but it's pretty clear that Edwards is not making any head way in NH. If he's really as low as 16%, he's got an impossible task ahead barring something cataclysmic.

[no name no slogan]

5. So THAT'S where the Joementum went

:thumbsup:

[Renew Deal]

6. That's a bit of a stretch.

:shrug:

[MethuenProgressive]

8. Trending down, trending up, now both within the MOE.

I'll take a third place finish in NH!

[TwilightZone]

10. Now THAT is a positive outlook.

Much better than all the negative crap floating around here. ;)

[MethuenProgressive]

19. It's that MOE that's really positive!

16 - 5 = 11, 7 + 5 = 12!
A 3rd place Richardson finish would absolutely liven up this pie fight!

[Donnachaidh]

11. after that 2 PER CENT finish in Iowa?

great big WISHFUL thinking problem. :rofl:

[MethuenProgressive]

17. Richardson's original 21,000 was more than the final 2%. But they do this "vote" thing in NH.

Iowans wouldn't understand.

[Carrieyazel]

12. I was hoping he would be closer to 15%. Richardson's a great candidate, and a slam dunk in Nov.

Too bad more people don't realize that.

[Thrill]

13. OUCH

[Egnever]

14. ???? on the verge?

[burythehatchet]

15. They're actually tied. JE is at 16%, 1 + 6 = 7 and BE has 7 too!!!

[itsrobert]

20. So that pust Edwards at 21 and Hillary at 24 counting MOE

3 pts can be made up real easy in a day. lol

[MethuenProgressive]

22. Richardson 12, Edwards 11 w/ the MOE.

If the Edwards trend down continues he'll be in Gravel-land late Tuesday night.

[itsrobert]

23. If you believe this poll

I don't, however. ;)

[MethuenProgressive]

24. Yeah, what does WMUR know about NH, anyway?

:eyes:

[Skip Intro]

29. Or Obama at 34 and Hillary at 34.

[itsrobert]

21. Actually, I'm at 0, so the MOE gives me 5 percent

I'm doing better than half the GOP. ;)

[BeyondGeography]

25. And Clinton is really tied with Obama

:scared:

[MethuenProgressive]

28. y'know...

...there's that old rule that some *say* they're gonna vote one way so people don't think bad of them, but then vote another way once in the booth.
I honestly "hope" NH dosn't end up doing that, BG.

[BeyondGeography]

31. Didn't happen in Iowa

[MethuenProgressive]

33. I know NH lots better than I know Iowa

And there's more racism up here in NE than people let on to.
If Barack does well up NH, I'll be glad for him - and for NH, too!
Good luck to your candidate.

[BeyondGeography]

35. Cheers...and Bill made me laugh the other night with that hostage negotiation line

[Eurobabe]

32. My Dad is in Keene, and he said after Iowa

alot of people have moved away from Richardson over to either Edwards or Obama. People don't see him as an agent of change either. :shrug:

[PresidentObama]

26. One poll, first off. And second off, Richardson's numbers doubled don't even equal Edwards numbers

So how is that on the verge??

[MethuenProgressive]

27. Johnny trending down, Bill trending up, MOE of 5%.

It's called math.

[PresidentObama]

30. The math still doesn't add up....

The MOE is +/- 5%

Even if you add five to Richardson's number, which is doubtful, he's at 12% and Edwards at 16%

That's not on the verge of passing him. Maybe if he was one or two points away. Especially when it's O-N-E poll, and you're considering the MOE in your favor.

[MethuenProgressive]

36. Richardson comes in third in New Hampshire's first vote!

Congrats to Dixville Notch!! :hi:

[Essene]

37. Math much?

I mean... come on.

[MethuenProgressive]

38. We'll see how my number crunching turns out here:
