4. these are generally all over the place and change once the

candidate is chosen. It has historically been worthless.

[K Gardner]

6. But your fellow HRC supporters are throwing all sorts of numbers around..

are they worthless, too?

[Evergreen Emerald]

13. that is what the experts say: that those numbers change

just as they did when Bush had greater negatives than Kerry and Gore.

Dean had lower negatives than others, and still lost. They are meaningless.

16. So...

the MSNBC/McClatchy poll shows John Edwards with the highest favorable rating and the lowest unfavorable rating.

The Rasmussen poll shows John Edwards with the highest favorable rating and the lowest unfavorable rating.

The MSNBC/McClatchy poll also shows John Edwards as the favorite second choice.

Interesting.

[K Gardner]

17. Yes, that about sums it up :-)

18. These are important numbers.

I am a Kucinich supporter (for years), but could throw my support behing Edwards as a compromise Unity candidate.

He is clearly the most electable in the GE.
