Interesting thing I've noticed about DU polls
They seem to be able to predict how well the candidates are going to end up doing. Dean was the Cat's Meow on here before he really started to hit it big nationally, and Kerry lost his touch here first. Considering the way the polls here seem to be going, I would be willing to bet that Clark might surprise us in the coming primary season.

2. If there's a Seabiscuit in this race, it's Dean
Clark is too glamorous for that role.

3. One thing that sinks your theory...
Dean led early polls without having to "bus in" supporters to pump up his DU numbers.

The poll getting shut down the other day because it was getting "freeped" (Skinners' words) by Clarkies skews any comparison and makes it useless.

4. True, true!
That Clark blog thing pissed me off..

Also, the end of it is that DU has declared as a whole that Dean will get the nomination. It's over before it even started.
