actually, the fascinating part is that she HAS accomplished something I had
never seen before in national politics. She actually managed to move her
negative scores down sharply, which doesn't really happen much. Usually,
negatives like she had(44% or more) are death in a general election, and
still might prove to be, but she did drop hers by 5%, and damned if I know
what did it.


.....perhaps it was the cleavage.

I'M BLIND! I'M BLIND!

Interestingly, Bush's poll numbers also went up 5 points. I suspect
both are more a result of no news rather than any particular "good"
news.

IAC, as much as I'd hate to see it, several are predicting an HRC-Obama
ticket, and with the info currently available, I'd offer it could end
any chance of national elected office for him. For the "Dem or death"
crowd, I'd offer that if all but HRC would bow out and endorse, oh say,
Richardson, and then Richardson would run with Obama, I'd think both
would remain contenders, regardless of '08. And if Obama would team up
with Romney, Giuliani, or McCain, I think it'd be a winning ticket AND
set him up as heir-apparent.

Unfortunately, it appears more and more it'll be HRC and Obama, and it
appears they'll lose. If Bloomberg gets into the ring, and the GOP is
running just about anyone short of the evil loonies (like Tancredo) or
even the decent, "innocent" loonies (like Paul), and Obama is on HRC's
ticket, he might as well leave politics.

I still maintain the best thing for most of the world would be
cross-party ticket consisting of one of the few sane folks from each
party (and have Bloomberg's endorsement) but I don't actually-really
think it would happen. HEY! Speaking of which....maybe HRC will decide
to go cross-party, pick Tancredo, and wa-la! They're both done!
