I'm not betting the house on any of these numbers, but if this is true that means hillary was able to keep pace with Obama + the Kerry List. Which is pretty impressive if you think about it.

I guess her money troubles may be a thing of the past.

The staff is now getting paid.

All of that is good and all if in fact this is true, its difficult to say what is and what isn't this campaign season.

Yes, I cherry pick polls but here is the last (before sup tues) rasmussen national tracking:

Hillary gained a point and Barack stayed at 40. I'm not sure if gallup is coming out with one last national tracking.

I also would like to take this opportunity to ask if anybody knows about possible exit polls coming out and if so when.

I would like to say good luck to the clinton people and obama people in that order. Yes, you know where I stand. I would also like to say good luck to ronald reagan, mitt romney, ron paul and john mccain. in that order. because that's pretty much the GOP's order of themselves anyway (save a move or two for jonny macccccccain.)

CALI
C-53%
O-41%

Missouri
C-54%
O-43%

MASS
C-56%
O-39%

Overall, these numbers are very good for Hillary. Maybe Zogby isn't correct?? Or maybe he is? Who knows. My head aches.

I wonder if indeed MA could be a tie if so many outlets show a double digit hillary lead.

The Polling % of Women is important. Any poll with less than 57% women is going to be off. Many polls still do general election breakdown 52-48

Its here. At first I thought Kos was going to be a bit more well, open-minded, but here it is. This is no longer a blog for liberals to chat and discuss and build for the Democratic Party.

Instead, its a blog for Obama.

When all is said and done tonight, over 800,000 people will have turned out in Florida and voted for Hillary. That's fairly amazing. I know for those to whom this isn't good news, there will be a story.."oh, its not REALLY an election. it doesn't matter at all. its meaningless. zero. nada. nothing"

But think about it for a second, Hillary turned out nearly a MILLION voters tonight, and she didn't even (or some might say barely) campaigned.

If absolutely nothing else, it shows a few things:

Now that we're in the business of choosing candidates for how good they make us feel, I'd like to take a quick poll. Well, you can respond in the comments because I'm gonna ask a few questions.

What I really, really enjoy about the current mainstream press is that somehow its over for hillary. Not to make a big mention of it, but our favorite website drudge is even asking, is this the end?

Is this the end for hil? she's maybe 1pt behind in NH (thats a tie, if you're into statistics). she's been leading or a close second in iowa. (I'm not going to link to these polls because you all know the NH & Iowa polls, if you want I can repost the links)

she's totally destroying the field in nevada....(http://www.pollster.com/08-NV-Dem-Pres-Primary.php)

Alrightee all. Since the important iowa caucus fastly approaches I am going to ask for a simple, easy to understand mini-NON-zogby poll here. Actually its not really a poll, I just want you to respond.

Here's the question:

A lot of folks on this site might remember me as a big Edwards supporter. I even was critical of Kos when he said Edwards didn't have the money to compete in the General. I flirted a bit with the Obama campaign, because I just loved some of Obama's speeches and I think he is simply a good, good man.

But I'm switching to Hillary right now. That could change, I'm apparently a swing voter this primary season.

this isn't so much of a diary as it is an inquiry. it was mentioned in a few days ago that kos was in pain and couldn't get a CT scan.

any news on that?

im pretty sure that he had blue cross blue shield in cali, which is apparently a few steps away from a death sentence. at any rate, if anybody has any thoughts, please tell.

If you ain't got no money take yo'broke ass home

We flyin' first class
Up in the sky
Poppin' champagne
Livin' my life
In the fast lane
And I wont change
By the Glamorous, oh the flossy flossy

Here's a little sense of what our good senators think of about war with Iran. Yes, there is a lot of disappointment to go around. But Hillary voting for a resolution that senses we should use "military instruments" against Iran?

I don't have a lot to say on this diary except to say that Kos just kicked some serious ass on hardball. Not "W" type kicking ass. Real ass kicking.

I know this is more of a comment than a diary. But I'm really proud of Kos today.

You know, for the longest time I felt I was pretty much on my own in this mad world. I was my own advocate. If I didn't work hard, I'd probably be pretty darn screwed up. Nobody looked out for my interests.

Until yesterday when I learned that I am represented by a Lobbyist. I'll call him Loopy. Loopy Lobbyist.

Now, I feel a LOT better.

In the most recent issue, Ted Sorensen was asked by Washington Monthly to write a speech for the 2008 Democratic Candidate at the Convention. He came up with this.

Here is what I think are the best lines of the speech.

We remain essentially a nation under siege.

You want to know what americans know about guns? Know this: The NRA has a $180 million operating budget.

Want to know what americans don't know about guns. Know this: The Brady Campaign has a whole lot less than $180million.

give. do it. give. give. and give again.

From what we know so far about the crimes at Virginia Tech, the gunman was an angry man who wanted to kill is girlfriend...Domestic violence.

in other words: a woman's problem. so not really important. violence against women is widespread in this country and around the world. in american we think: sure, we should do something about it. but it's just not that big an issue. how many presidential debates focus on this type of violence? yet it effects millions of women in america every second.

i wanted to just write up a quick open thread maybe for just doctors who are familiar with the condition that sen. johnson is in.

is this brain hemmorage worse than a stroke?? what is the general thing that happens in this situation?? How likely a chance does he have for survival???

i just think we need a thread right now that is reserved for professional medical opinion.

short diary, but its an emergency situation.
