McCain Doing Worse Than Obama -- Among Iowa Republicans!
By Greg Sargent | bio

A great catch by Steve Benen concerning the Iowa poll we posted on below: With John McCain getting the support of only three percent of Iowa Republicans, guess who's doing better than he is with that constituency -- Barack Obama!

Turns out that Iowa Republicans were asked an open-ended question about which candidate they supported, and were permitted to choose from either party. And of those Iowa GOPers, nearly seven percent picked Obama -- more than double the number who picked McCain!

Man alive, that's grim......:rofl: :rofl:

4. This needs to be on the national news tonight. This is extraordinary.

That's he's more than a blip, that he's BEATING Thompson, who's a national front-runner in some polls, is amazing, and very telling as to both Obama's broad appeal AND the utter disgrace of the GOP field. They...have...NOBODY!!!
