 Poll: Clinton and Giuliani Are SlippingPosted on Dec 4, 2007A new USA Today/Gallup poll fits a trend other surveys have been pointing toward, namely that the front-runners in both parties are slowly losing their headlock on the election. Hillary Clinton, though still in the lead nationally, has lost 11 points in a month while Barack Obama and John Edwards have both picked up a few. Meanwhile, Mike Huckabee, once firmly stuck in statistically insignificant territory, continues his climb, like that other famous Arkansan who surprised his way to his party’s nomination.

Something about “President Huckabee” doesn’t instill wonder in me.

loveinatub (#177923) expresses my frustrations exactly.
When someone asks me (I start discussions) about my choice for President, I tell them Kucinich. When they ask about any of the “top tier” (hate that expression) candidates, I tell them they are all just more of the same, except for Kucinich. Then I simply reply to any comment about electibility: “NO ONE IS ‘UNELECTABLE’ IF WE VOTE FOR THEM.”
Support Kucinich - host a party, send money, send along to all your friends the videos where he really shines and gets his message out and ask them to do the same. They NEED TO BE ASKED because they won’t do it if you don’t! Keep talking about Kucinich and keep saying: “NO ONE IS ‘UNELECTABLE’ IF WE VOTE FOR THEM!”
PEACE AND IMPEACH!!

Does the testy Giuliani know about shrinkage? Oh yah!
The housey Hillary, quick in the kitchen, but can she handle her dirty laundry? ... “Bill, Honey, I shrunk the ...”
Yep, as the top dogs shoot their wads into the approaching omega point, they’ve lost their alpha.
However, Obama—unsoiled by Hillary’s mudslinging ("character issues?” Come on!)-- launders her dirt clothed as political discourse. Obama hasn’t shrunk. He’s a show-er and a grower.

Obama is doing well in Iowa but people are tired of giving the 120,000 caucus-goers in Iowa all the power to pick the next president. Obama is another Dean with even fewer accomplishments.

Ideal 2008 race; Kucinich vs. Paul.

Its time to use globalized terms for a couple of the Presidential candidates. A term bandied about in certain coffee shops about Mike Huckabee is dubbing him “Mullah” Mike and Hillary Clinton “Madonna Hillary”
If these tags take off blame the effects of too much coffee

Those early polls never mean anything because people who not political junkies do not focus in until after Thanksgiving.Every Presidential election cycle this happens because the media is so lame and refuse to discuss anything relevant decide to show a poll and then waste newspaper space or television time to tell you why the numbers are what they are.The most amazing thing to me is that Hillary bought those numbers and started running what many thought was a general election campaign.Does anyone remember the inevitability of Howard Dean 4 years ago.The game has just strted.

I only wish Kucinich would rank higher nationally. People just constantly do damage to our democracy by voting for the “lesser” of the evils instead of voting for someone who actually represents their values. In this case, democrat liberals should be vote lock, stock and barrel for Kucinich and completely ignore Clinton or Obama or Edwards. The corporate media will NOT cover Kucinich and those American liberals think they are wasting their vote if they indeed were to vote for Kucinich. Change would come alot faster and quicker in this country if people would start voting their who they truly think represents their values instead of voting merely to prevent someone else from winning.

I just wonder when Clinton’s problematic present will catch up with her!!

Arkansans seem to have personalities that wear well on people. As for Giuliani, his problematic past seems to have finally caught up with him.
