1. Go Obama, go!

[Hardrada]

2. Make it a real race!

[Colobo]

3. Beautiful

I don't really trust Rasmussen (they always give Bush more credit than he deserves)... but I would like to believe Obama is making things happen... :)

[WI_DEM]

7. To be fair to Rasmussen their polls in '06 for Senate were pretty accurate

One of the most accurate polls of that year. Yes, their Bush ratings seem to be tainted.

16. Also, their '04 presidential state polls were right on the mark

They predicted every state correctly, by about the right margin too.

[Island Blue]

8. You guys do realize that the first primary

is about eleven months away - right?

[DonkeyInChinaShop]

9. And Loserman had 40% at this same point in 2003

[WI_DEM]

11. which is why the first line I wrote is "this poll is as meaningful as any at this point"

meaning that yes, I know that these early polls are not cut in stone.

15. And the party nominee will be chosen in 11 months 3 weeks (Feb 5th)

10. It feels to me as if the race is volatile. I expect significant shifts

not just in Iowa and New Hampshire, but everywhere.

Activists talk with each other, and swap tales, and join groups, and make comparisons and contrasts, meet for pizza and beer, maybe see a film or two, watch Jim Lehrer, read an article in THE NEW YORKER, attend appearances by the candidates, and somewhere at the other end of all that they emerge with a clearer notion of who gets their vote.

It's late for beginning that thinking and sorting out, but early in terms of how it eventually settles.

That's what gives caucus and primary campaigns their zing.

12. Good. I don't trust Hillary Clinton anyway... she's adrift in the wind on Iraq.

and I personally don't think she can win.

[B Calm]

13. Hillary keeps saying we need to end this war by 2009! WTF is wrong with her?

why not now!

[originalpckelly]

14. AHAHAHA! This is what the DLC gets for being bought off!

:rofl:

[treestar]

17. Like being second in lap 1 of 4000 laps!

[tabasco]

18. Glad to hear it.

My God, a Hillary nomination would just about finish off the Dems for my lifetime.
