they will change after Iowa

3. Hillary dropped 10% from 10/22 to 11/7. You seemed less concerned then; why so concerned now?

6. The margin of error says it all.

Margin of sampling error for each is +/- 4 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence.

A change of 3 points in 3 days is meaningless, becasue it falls in the margin of error.

Ignore the polls, they mean exactly what the polsters media wants them to mean. Like any other data dump, they are meant to pull your attention away from what is happening in Iowa and New Hampshire. What happens in those states will determine the nomination. Nothing else matters. We are going to know by February 5.

7. These polls will drive us all crazy.

8. The media control your every perception.

First marginalize all but their hand-picked candidates.
You'd swear by the coverage of the last Democratic debate there were only three participants.
The implicit buy-in from dumb JQ Doe is when you reiterate their distracting slime or respond to it about candidates "slugging it out" or other such nonsense.

Then they do their polls.

The Garbage ABC News in their poll had Obama ahead of Clinton in Iowa just this morning.
However no thanks or positives to Obama from that ABC chump for Obama's pulling ahead. The slant was that Hillary was the one who voters want and could win.

See! Even by discussing this every one else has been ignored.

9. looks like Hillary has the national primary sewn up

too bad there isn't a national primary.

[retread]

10. The winner would have to be chosen by poll. n/t

11. True, the Media along with Bush have already

anointed her the winner

And Bush has anointed her the loser in November, so the media will begin to work on that after the primaries.
Correction, they are already working on that, it just won't be obvious until after the primaries.
