I'm glad the Clinton campaign got some encouraging news . . . I was afraid her head was going to fall off if she got anymore bad news!

Hopefully this will calm her down enough so that she can regain her composure - I'm starting to see the springs falling out of her back . . .

Van...Chuck address this Iowa poll on MSNBC I believe he stated like the AP poll it is older than the Register poll ( note: they give NO DATES for the poll) even though they only released it today. In addition the Register is considered the GOLD STANDARD

Actually that brings up a good question why would you take a poll and hold the results for several days or weeks? I guess you release them when your candidate needs them...you think?

Dante — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 17:29:38 GMT

Obviously, these polls by themselves don't point to a Clinton comeback. For one, the Pew poll was taken from November 7th to the 25th, muddying the results. Furthermore, there still remains a big problem for Hillary: She lags against both her opponents in the Pew poll when voters are asked their "second choice," something that can obviously play a big role in the caucuses

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Democrat Barack Obama was endorsed Sunday by the mayor of Iowa's largest city and predicted more criticism ahead from presidential rivals as his political fortunes keep brightening.

Meeting with reporters, Obama trotted out Des Moines Mayor Frank Cownie, who last month won a second term. He has focused on global warming and other environmental issues. "Senator Obama has made a promise and is willing an open-minded enough to listen to the mayor of the capital city of Iowa," Cownie said. "Together we can make change in Iowa."

Another Mark Penn way of distracting the good news that is for Obama. We all know how Clintonite likes to play the game of psychology.

The real poll that counts is the Desmoine Registered poll that started from Nov 25-28 2007. Hillary Clinton and Mark Penn (AP) polls started from Nov. 7 to 25

http://www.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?category=iowapoll07

Here is what an educated reader and writer must ask themselves; which is more accurate?

Is it the one that was taken from Nov 7-25 or Nov 25-28?

I am sure the people of IOWA will take their hometown news paper more seriously.

I'd much rather a thoughtful analysis of the variations of the different polls in Iowa, then the dramatic type of stories - Clinton Wounded, Obama Ahead, or Clinton is Inevitable (I don't believe she ever said that; it's been the press)...I'm starting to wonder what the difference is between Reuters and The Enquirer!

She is a commie Mike. If you say she is not then you have not done your homework. Do you want a communist in the White House? Do you want the old "Bill and Hill show.

We've known this since November 25th it is now December 4th a full 10 days since the poll was released.

Spinnning an old poll as a new one is slightly ok very wrong. I see at least 4 polls closing after it on real clear politics all of them with tighter timeframes making them more relevant.

A 10 day delay is a lifetime in primary politics.

The Iowa State poll is not worth much given that it has a 6 percent margin of error. Most reliable polls have a margin of error of less than 5 percent. Thus the discrepancy that it shows Huckabee in second and Edwards in second. All recent polls with less margins of error have shown Edwards in third and Huckabee in first.

As far as the Pew poll it is a month old! It includes what Iowans were thinking almost a month ago. Alot has changed since then.

If one looks at polls done recently (conducted over a three day period) with a respectable margin of error (less than five percent) three of the four show Obama and Huckabee ahead. That is the state of the race in Iowa.

Clinton leads in new polling

Mike Brooks, Eugene, Oregon — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 17:51:16 GMT

Clinton is the worst possible candidate. In case no one has noticed, the reason Obama and Huckabee are winnning Iowa is becasue they are POPULISTS that propose ending or curbing outsourcing and guest workers (8 million Amercian engineers, scientists and computer programmers have lost their jobs to cheap young replacements from India and China --- 90% of new high tech hires are on those visas!). Now, the Clinton's *own* a company that provides those guest workers, Clinton as a part of her Senatorial career, travelled to India to promote even more H1-B workers. As we enter into this recession, remember that the greedy Wall Street crowd and outsourcing and "free traitors" just like Clinton are the very cause of it! Corrupt, dirty Clinton has no issues. Her "health care plan" is a 200 billion dollar give-away to the health industry and everything else she blathers about has to do with radical feminism and the most extrme gay rights nut jobs. Obama-Edwards for President...because this Democrat wont even vote Democrat, even for the local dog catcher, if Clinton is on the ticket!

Yes, I enjoy a glass of cool refreshing kool aid often, black cherry is my favorite if you must know.

A cemetary of strange suicides and accidents? Someone's been reading too much Poe, or maybe Ann Coulter, they're both pretty scary, though Poe has a much better grasp of story structure. If she's a commie for wanting tax breaks for the middle class (me and everyone I know), easier and cheaper access to higher education for the middle class (me and everyone I know) affordable health coverage for me and everyone I know, then I guess I'm all for communism, except the whole wearing burlap bags for cloths and picking potato crops, I wouldn't want to do that.

Mitchell Feldman, Vestal, NY — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 18:15:27 GMT

As I've said before, Hillary people should realize that a good number of Democrats who support other candidates for the nomination, will not vote for Hillary in the general (were we so unfortunate to have her as the standard bearer). She is as much of a wedge as she is a polarizer.

I guess that this fact shouldn't affect your support for her, as I am one who believes that you should support the candidate who most represents your beliefs, and not make the pragmatic choice, based on who has the best chance of winning.

Still, rightly or wrongly (and I think this has as much to do with the insincerity of her husband, who with much fanfare, announced last week that he was against the war in Iraq from the beginning, haha, I guess he thinks that the propaganda machine can over-ride 'sex, lies and videotape') this is a fact and if Hillary does win the nomination it will not bode well for the Democrats. Even Jerry, knows that.

MK, Los Angeles, California (Sent Monday, December 03, 2007 12:49 PM)

Exactly. The fact that the sample size is so large, yet the margin of error is also unusually large, indicates that the bigger the poll window, the less accurate the results. It has nothing to do with who is ahead. You actually can't tell who is really ahead with a margin of error that size.

Nice to see that you're arguing about polls now rather than against them...Here are the polling and end dates for the most recent polls. The Iowa Univ. numbers aren't available yet.

DMR poll 11/25-28 end date 11/28

RAS 11/26-27 end date 11/27
Pew 11/07-25 end date 11/25

Which poll is pre-historic? There is a four day difference between the end dates for the polls with the ARG poll having the latest end date.
Dates for all the polls can be found here;
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/

(Even though I post these links most every morning, so many seem unwilling or unable to follow a link before treating everyone to their half-baked analysis.)

The polls all indicate that the race is a close contest between the top 3. As an Edwards supporter, what can he do to keep his name in the news and not be crowded out by all of the Clinton v. Obama coverage?
I know you hate Clinton, but Edwards CAN'T be third in the caucus if he wants to go forward, and that means that he must defeat one or both of them. How's he do it?

Obama endorsed and campaigned for Joe Lieberman - and as soon as he was elected to the senate, Obama began voting FOR every war funding bill for a war he supposedly "opposed." He suddenly began voting against war funding when he became a presidential candidate.

Corporate lobbyists and PACs have funded Obama's political career from Illinois to the Senate. But he stopped taking their money in 2007 when he became a presidential candidate. ha! as if they won't remember who paved his way.

We need a nominee that moderate Republicans and Conservative Democrats can support.

The Democratic Party runs a risk of loosing to the Republican Party if they nominate someone that can't win over the republican moderate and independent voters. Evidence in the last few years showed that Hillary Clinton can’t win over the republican moderate let alone the independent voters.

Hillary Clinton has a natural tendency of bashing her opponent and that is not good for general election. She likes to portray opposing view as evil even when she is wrong.

She is the most polarizing figure aside from George Bush in the American politics. Please don’t ask me why she is polarizing, ask Bill Clinton.

Retired Brigadier General John Adams Endorses Barack Obama

"Barack Obama’s ability to listen and inspire will allow him to shape a new domestic strategy of working together as Americans to safeguard our constitutional liberties and secure the blessings of prosperity for all our citizens,” said John Adams, Brigadier General, US Army (retired). “His sound judgment and ability to make tough choices under pressure will help him to shape a new international strategy of cooperating with our friends abroad to enhance global peace and security. We need his vision and integrity to address America's domestic and international challenges.”

The challenges we are facing both domestically and globally require a willingness to change the way we approach problems. I am proud to have the support of General Adams and I look forward to relying on his sound judgment on international issues and his knowledge of the challenges people are facing in Arizona,” said Senator Barack Obama.

Jen C — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 19:30:07 GMT

Regardless of what any "new" polls might say, the fact is that Hillary would not be going bezerk if her internal polling did not tell her that there is some meat behind Obama's ascent in the polls.

Usually she hides behind her henchmen, so if she's showing her own teeth it's because she feels there's something to be worried about.

You don't start reaching back to quote essays written by a 5-year-old, and attacking a guy's character because his approach to delivering universal healthcare is different from yours unless something is wrong. Say you don't agree that his approach is best, but when you say it's indicative of a character problem after professing to be "above the politics of personal destruction", there's more going on here.

Within one week, we've heard this from Hillary's team to Obama:

1. Take down your healthcare ad, it’s misleading.
2. Your PAC is illegal, shut it down.
3. Obama’s got “character” and “courage” issues.
4. When you were 5, you said you wanted to be the President, so now you’re flip-flopping.

And, as Hillary said on Sunday, there's more to come.

They're throwing the entire playbook at him to stop him. This is the behavior of a campaign that is afraid.

Why is HRC stooping so low?" blogs Robert Reich, an old Clinton friend and cabinet secretary -- albeit one who was on the losing side of the key economic policy battles of the Clinton White House. " I’m becoming increasingly concerned about the stridency and inaccuracy of charges in Iowa -- especially coming from my old friend."

Worse still:

Yesterday, HRC suggested O lacks courage. "There's a big difference between our courage and our convictions, what we believe and what we're willing to fight for," she told reporters in Iowa, saying Iowa voters will have a choice "between someone who talks the talk, and somebody who's walked the walk." Then asked whether she intended to raise questions about O’s character, she said: "It's beginning to look a lot like that."

I just don’t get it. If there’s anyone in the race whose history shows unique courage and character, it's Barack Obama. HRC’s campaign, by contrast, is singularly lacking in conviction about anything. Her pollster, Mark Penn, has advised her to take no bold positions and continuously seek the political center, which is exactly what she’s been doing.

No. I lost all my patience defending Bill when he was president. Furthermore, the more I see Hillary's fiendish tactics (plants in the audience, arm-twisting correspondants, skewing polls, corperate sponsorship, fraudulent fund-raising, etc.), the more it reminds me of GWBush. I would rather vote independant or even an honest Republican like Ron Paul.

'...PEGGY NOONAN

Only two of them are inevitable.

'....the Clintons perfected a new method of scandal
management that starts with "These are lies spread by
a partisan conspiracy," proceeds to "That's old news,"
and ends a few years later, when detailed books come
out, with "That's rehash for cash." This strategy is
not a constructive contribution to our political
culture, but it has worked in the new environment.
They'll teach it in political science media management courses in the future....'

This strategy covers up everything
Any scandal is 'managable' by the Clintons
They are the most corrupt Democrats in history
But, the Clinton Cult denies everything.....

'....Mrs. Clinton is acting as if she's scared. She
insists to Katie Couric that she's the next
president--"It will be me"--and she's back to using
the language of aggression -- there's been a lot of
"beat," as in they've been trying to "beat me." In the first 60 seconds of her Couric interview she used some variation on the word "attack" five times. If Mitt Romney talked like this, they'd be asking who put the Red Bull in his milkshake....'

Where's the 'inevitable' Hillary ?
Where did SHE go ??
Running scared ??

Here's Hillary doing her 'George Bush' impersonation
Her campaign manager, Mark Penn is a Rove 'wannabe'..

'...She continues her political kleptomania in terms of themes from the 1988 presidential campaign, which
seems to preoccupy her. A few months ago she was
saying she was born in the middle of America in the
middle of the century, which is what George H.W. Bush
said of Dan Quayle....'

Coincidence ?
The Republican play book !!

'....She proceeded to call herself famous but unknown,
which is what was said of Mr. Bush at the time...'

Wow !!
Annother George Bush !!
Just what America needs !!

'...Now she calls herself ready from day one to be
president. Old Bush's tag line in his '88 commercials
was "Ready on day one to be a great president."...'

Becuase she was a 'glorified housewife'
At least she should be ready from day one to be prepared for Bill's wandering eyes....
And if Bill has a bunch of cigars......

'...This is the first time she's faced a real threat, in Barack Obama, and it's left me thinking about how being The Inevitable is a high-risk game. You can get far being the inevitable choice. A lot of people will believe it and support you, specially the weak, and the pragmatic. They give you early support and early money. Others see the endorsements and contributions.
Another level of giver and supporter kicks in. It
starts to show in the national polls. Everyone knows
you're inevitable.

But there are two problems with this strategy. One is
that your support is by definition broad but shallow.
You have a lot of people, but they won't crawl over
broken glass for you. When I talk to Hillary
supporters they mostly enact a facsimile of what they
think passion is, and are reduced to a dulled
aggression. "We're gonna win."

The second part of the inevitability problem is that
once you seem no longer inevitable--once the polls
stop rising or start to fall, once that air is out of
the balloon and the thing that made everyone fall in
line is gone--well, what do you do? If the main
argument of your candidacy is you're inevitable and
suddenly you're evitable, where does that leave you?
What does it leave you with? Mere hunger. Insistence:
"It will be me."

And anger at this nobody who wasn't even in the Senate when you took the big votes, this cream puff who was a functionary in Chicago when you were getting your head beaten in by Ken Starr. What does Mrs. Clinton do when she's feeling angry? What has she done in the past?
Goodness, this won't be pretty....'

No it won't....
At least J Merle Stanley has been sedated....
That's a start ....

Who on earth did they poll to get this result? Bill Gates' household? One of the hotels where American high tech companies house Indian H1-B guest workers? Only a suicidal fool would support Clinton, the Queen of outsourcing, the "Senator From India", the Wall Street dolly, and I don't know many of them. I've been a life long Democrat and I wont vote for her. I'll vote Republican - McCain, Huckabee, Paul, Thompson, maybe even Guliani - before I'd vote for Clinton. The economy is heading into a RECESSION! We have lost million of jobs do to outsourcing and guest workers (and Clinton is part owner of a company that provides H1-B guest workers). We need somepone who will tax Bill Gates for every H1-B worker he has and do the same for IBM and HP and Intel and every other corporation using these tax payer subsidized indentured servants, a 100% salary tax to make it unprofitable to fire perfectly competent older American workers or workers with families (and, consequently higher medical costs), we need a president who will add duties and fees and taxes on goods and services that are produced as a result of outsourcing. We need a leader who understands that we cannot survive in a "service based economy", that we need JOBS! Jobs trump "choice" and "gay rights" and even Wall Street's gobs of money tossed into our political campaigns. Forget Clinton!

Adam, Sacramento — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 20:10:52 GMT

Mike,

No I won't vote for Hillary under any circumstances.

I am looking at the next presidential term as one very similar to carter's term in 1976. An economy off the rails, An energy crisis and massive international political headaches as well as domestic polarization. In my opinion it's a four year term election as it will take more than 4 years to turn us around.

If I don't have a democrat I'm confident will put into place policies designed to change our course and get us on the correct one, I'll be more than happy to have a republican holding the bag on those four years instead and I'll look to a real democrat for 2012-2020.

In my opinion hillary is Bush-Lite at best. Polarizing and warlike but talking a compassionate game. I'm not buying.

I'll likely vote 3rd party if she wins the primary. I just don't see Hillary healing the wounds but rather ripping open new ones.

John M, San Diego, CA — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 20:13:24 GMT

Would I support Hillary if she became the democratic nominee? I would vote for her because the alternatives are worse. Does that constitute support?

These particular polls are less meaningful to outcome of the Iowa primaries than the recent ones that show a range from Obama +4 to Clinton +2.

The AP poll was initiated when Clinton still had a ~5% lead in Iowa and it closed a week ago. So it's probably not the best current indicator of the state of the race.

The Iowa State poll is a registered voter poll, not a likely voter poll like the rest of the Iowa polls released - so it doesn't have much to do with who is going to actually show up and vote at the caucuses. I would expect Hillary to have a significant advantage among non-LV RV's due to name recognition as those voters are less likely to be engaged and paying attention to the race.

I'm sorry, but the IOWA caucus is a JOKE. Look that the process and the rules and tell me that it isn't the most manipulative thing going. Hell, if you are just 17 but will be 18 when the general election is held you are permitted to caucus. There is so much ability to essentially buy off every vote in the state and that is what the money rich campaigns are doing. Obama can't win outside of IOWA because his money and organization cannot manipulate the vote like they can in IOWA. That is why Clinton is the better general election candidate. Wake up Obamites or we will end up with another Republican and all those wonderful Supreme Courts judges that will send us back to the 19th century.

Hillary is the one that hates, she hates anything that gets in her way. She couldn't care a lick about the public. Just like her husband, she's on some kind of weird power trip. The sooner she's out of the race the better. She's trying to cobble together some strange set of voters to try and win the election. It's not happening, and now she is frantic. What a pitiful display being put on by her and her husband. The real fools are the 20-30 percent of people that will vote for her. The question is, why? Other then hate, what does she bring to the table? Hillary has no skills, no vision, and no experience. She just has a third rate husband on the same power trip as her.

Iowa State University Poll has NO INFORMATION other than the margin which is 6 percentage points that is alot. No dates when taken, etc.

Lynn, Millington

6% MOE is low, all these polls are statistically invalid, they may end up being right (doubtful), but that will be by chance. If your target audience is "likely caucus goers", and everyone knows the best indication of future caucus attendance, is past attendance, and not one person polled is an independently verified prior caucus goer, you are placing total reliance on survey respondents claiming they have or will attend. George Gallop discovered, by prospective review of voting records that over 20% of the 98% polled stating they were definitely voting in the Presidential election failed to do so.

The only polls that have polled verified prior caucus goers has been campaigns internal polling. It is clear from whats happening on the ground that Clinton's poll numbers aren't good, other than that no one knows where the race stands.
