3/28    Finally, the Clinton Death Spiral?  Obama up 10 pts in Gallup tracking
        poll for first time
        http://www.gallup.com/poll/105841/Gallup-Daily-Obama-Now-52-Clintons-42.aspx
        \_ And McCain still up on both. (Barely.)
          \_ Not a problem once the democrats have a decisive choice.  Voter
             turnout in the primaries had the 2nd place democratic candidate
             often beating the sum total of all republican votes so I think
             the presidential will pretty much be decided by the Clinton/
             Obama choice.
             \_ Are there any numbers from previous elections that equate
                higher primary turnout with general election victory?  Are
                you taking into account the huge number of cross over voters
                this year who voted strategically?  Are you counting the number
                of people in both C and O camps who said they would stay home
                or vote for M if their candidate didn't get the nomination?
                \_ I don't think he was counting anything.  His statement was
                   more of a statement of faith than anything else. -!pp

2/10    I like Woz, and I like iWoz, but let me tell ya, no one worships
        him because he has the charisma of an highly functioning
        Autistic person. Meanwhile, everyone worships Jobs because
        he's better looking and does an amazing job promoting himself
        as God. I guess this is not the first time in history. Case in

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.

2/20    Ok serious question, NOT political.  This is straight up procedural.
        Has it been declared that we didn't find WMD in iraq? (think so).
        So why did we go into iraq (what was the gain), and if nobody really
        knows, why is nobody looking for the reason?
        \_ Political stability, military strategy (Iran), and to prevent
           Saddam from financing terrorism.

8/5     Regarding NKorea relesing the journalists, here's what I think the
        actual deal between Kim and Obama is:
        - Both agree that Kim needs to save, or gain, face to pave the way for
          his son's succession and for NK's stability.
        - Both agree that Obama doesn't like losing face by publicly
          apologizing.

           massive deficit, and now, Swine Flu.  Has any president except for

        \_ Good thing the legislature passed the biggest tax increase in
           history!  That should solve it.
           \_ because cutting taxes has done such a great job so far!

           citizens and foreign governments. This Snowden guy must have

www.gallup.com/poll/105841/Gallup-Daily-Obama-Now-52-Clintons-42.aspxThe latest results are based on Gallup Poll Daily tracking conducted March 27-29.

Survey Methods Gallup is interviewing no fewer than 1,000 US adults nationwide each day during 2008. The general election results are based on combined data from March 25-29, 2008. For results based on this sample of 4,407 registered voters, the maximum margin of sampling error is 2 percentage points. The Democratic nomination results are based on combined data from March 27-29, 2008.
