9. Uncalled for

Can't you just be happy that your candidate may be doing well- whomever that may be, anyway. Can't tell from your so positive post there.

14. I am not a Green

I am a Democratic party member- president of my county Dem club in fact. Dennis Kucinich is also a member of our party, btw.

Why nothing positive about your candidate rather than snide remarks about both me and Kucinich?

And surprise- I'm not even a Kucinich supporter.

2. Interesting to see * under 50%...

definitely a warning sign there for Smirky.

[lastliberalintexas]

10. Exactly

I think this is a great poll for us Dems. A generic Dem is within the margin of error with Shrub in GEORGIA?! Wow!

[unfrigginreal]

3. Wow, looks like the smell wore off a certain rose pretty quickly n/t

[DrFunkenstein]

4. Sharpton's Gaining!

He could take Georgia!

[pruner]

6. sure… assuming he's still in the race by then

but that seems pretty unlikely based on his Q3 fundraising and current debt level.

5. Wow

Bush has only a 8-point lead in Georgia and second Wow is Dean is right in the thick of things with 9%--only 3-points behind leader Gen. Clark.

[unfrigginreal]

7. There's obviously something wrong with this poll...

we all KNOW that Dean couldn't be doing this well in the South.

[CMT]

8. Also yesterday someone posted a Edwards internal poll

from SC showing Dean running second there. I notice that Dean doesn't publish internal polls on its web site but does post positive independent polls.

15. AJC has some comparisons from Feb

Kerry dropped the most, then Lieberman

snip>
Meanwhile, more than half of 500 Georgians surveyed by pollster Beth Schapiro Oct. 13-19 said they intend to vote in the Democratic presidential primary next March, with newcomer Wesley Clark slightly ahead with 12 percent to Sen. Joe Lieberman's 11 percent. Rep. Dick Gephardt, with 10 percent, and former Gov. Howard Dean are close behind.

Lieberman had 20 percent in a Georgia survey Schapiro conducted in February. Sen. John Kerry has fallen even harder, from 13 percent to 2 percent, and he might be the biggest casualty of Clark's entry.

Although Bush leads a generic Democrat, 49 percent to 41 percent, his re-elect number -- those who say they would like to see him elected to another term -- is at 48 percent, which Schapiro said "may indicate some vulnerability."

12. you could be right...such as the 6% margin of error?

When looking at this poll 6 was the magic number. The only thing this poll reveals is that those with higher levels of support than 6% currently have a shot of winning the Georgia primary. Anyone with 6% or less is a longshot, and has little or no political base to build on.

This poll also reveals that shrub has the same levels of support that he does nationwide! This could be the most damning news for shrub, because Georgia is supposed to be his bedwetting base...his hotbed of nutheads. :crazy:

11. Eff Ga

We won't win that state. Let's go for the key states like PA, Ohio, Fla, Mizzou, etc...

Unless our candidates will break out a confederate flag GA is a done deal. Although I must admit its interesting that King Chimp isn't holding 60% of the vote. In fascist Georgia?

Maybe there are people down there with some genetic variation afterall.

[PATRICK]

16. only Bush numbers are important

The Dem candidates are not significant at this point, unless someone proves "offensive' to the Southern sensitivities. Maybe Clark could catch fire in the south. If this state can be opened up to challenge then it is all over whether this particular state is fixed beyond all hope or not.

17. Here in "fascist Georgia," there are quite a few of us

with "genetic variation," enough to support a couple of mailing lists for Dennis
Kucinich.

Enough to have given Georgia's electoral votes to Bill Clinton, helping him win the White House. Enough to have done the same for Jimmy Carter, whom we previously elected governor.

Prior to the 2002 introduction of computer voting, we had two Democratic senators and a Democratic governor. Not too bad for a "fascist" state.

In addition to Jimmy Carter, "fascist" Georgia has also produced some civil rights leaders you're probably familiar with, including Martin Luther King, Jr., John Lewis, Julian Bond, Andrew Young.

Stereotypes tend to be misleading.
