1. The great thing about polls...

is that if you look hard enough, you can probably find one that says what you want. Just in the past couple days, there have been polls (from other organizations) that make the same claim about Hillary and Edwards.

6. What that means is that during the primaries, we can each select our candidate

based on positions, history etc, without having to worry about who is our best shot at beating the Republicans.

7. You know...I'd never really thought of it that way.

Excellent point.

2. Hillary's Pavlovian claims that she is the most electable candidate have been blown out of the water

3. She doesnt get above 50 percent because of her high negatives
