4. I recognize the time the polls were taken, but I wouldnt use Rasmussen to refute such claims.

5. I'm sorry but coming from an Edwards supporter, that's just absurd

You guys have been posting over and over and over again old polls showing Edwards as the most electable, and now this comes out, and shows that's no longer true, and you start trying to prove that ONE poll changes what's clearly a trend.

6. And to use Rasmussen to do it.

Look, this may not be the current trend, but I saw the poll and it even had election matchups, so why not post it.
