new Pennsylvania poll shows Dean with double-digit lead

[pruner]

Dean 28
Lieberman 17
Gephardt 10
Clark 9
Kerry 7

Dec. 11-14. MOE ±3

Even more telling, Dean would hold Bush to a 49-43 percent margin while the president would score 50 percent against Lieberman, Kerry and Clark, and 51 percent against Gephardt, the poll shows.

6. But, But, But... Dean Is Unelectable! All Hail (Insert Name Here)!

Poll after poll, all the Democrats are equally competitive against Bush (within the margin of error). In this one, as in others (e.g. Montana just two days ago), Dean is on top. But lots of Democrats have had that "top" honor. That's because they can all beat the chimp.

It's time to give this desperate argument a rest, my fellow Democrats. See my signature for the only unelectable candidate in the Presidential race.
