Sam, the election is still 11 months away with hundreds of millions of dollars of "dirt" about to hit the airwaves. I don''t believe specific polls this far out are useful because most people aren''t really paying attention yet.

Is this ''Love John Edwards'' week at CBS? Yesterday, we were treated to the gushing story of how he worked his way up from the coal mines of South Carolina.

Now it''s the comparison of Edwards to Rocky Balboa.....he''s down....he''s a long shot.....but don''t count him out!

Pathetic leftwing blather!!!!

PS By ''predictions'' I don''t mean they''re my predictions, they''re what the polls found - those kind of predictions. You can see the specific numbers by clicking on the link :)

Just an update on the head-to-head polls, there''s a site called RealClearPolitics.com that lists the results of all the major polls (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/national.html) and nobody''s safe against everybody on all polls, not even Edwards. Here are some revised predictions:

1a. Hillary vs Giuliani, Romney = wins
1bc. Hillary vs McCain = LOSES by 2 with CNN, wins with Fox, Gallup

2a. Barack vs Romney = wins
2b. Barack vs Giuliani = TIE with Gallup, wins with CNN, Rasmussen, Bloomberg
2c. Barack vs McCain = TIE with CNN, Rasmussen; wins with Gallup

3a. Edwards vs Romney = win
3b. Edwards vs Giuliani = TIE with Rasmussen, wins with CNN, Newsweek
3c. Edewards vs McCain = TIE with Quinnipiac, wins with CNN, Rasmussen

Like who we pick might depend on who gets the Repub nom. If Rudy wins the nom, then maybe the nom ought to go to Hillary. If McCain wins the nom, then maybe the nom ought to go to Edwards. If Romney or Huckabee win the nom, then it would be safe to go with Barack (or Edwards or Hillary . . . )

Gosh, a little too close for comfort . . .

Edwards is the candidate who stands for my core values. I like all the Democrats but he is the cream of the crop!

After 8 years of division, this country doesn''t need another divider and I see Hillary as a divider. Looks like she''s on track to getting the nomination. While winning in 2008 would be easy for a moderate Democrat like Edwards, it''s going to be an uphill battle for unlikable Hillary with all the baggage she comes along with.

America doesn''t want a President who knows what is like to worry about where the next meal is coming from, how to pay the bills, and what to do if someone gets sick. We want rich spoiled brats, who don''t know anything about, and care nothing for the regular folk. After all, it was the Republicans who called the so-called "little guy" a myth on the floor of the House. And we all saw how popular the Republican Congress was! If Americans cared about average Joe, we wouldn''t pay any attention to what Paris Hilton did. We would follow the exploits of the mechanic from Spokane who can''t pay his mortgage and has three sick kids.

I''ve been an Edwards supporter since 2004 - in fact I thought he should have been the candidate then not Kerry.

Polls show that Edwards beats every single GOP candidate -- he IS the most electable candidate period.

So why are we still hearing only about Hillary and Obama?? Put them on a freaking reality show and let the grownups get on with fixing the country.
