well-regarded in some of these places as two day old dog ****.


From CNN:

"Poll: Race for White House tied" (post-Biden)

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/08/...oll/index.html

particularly:

"Sixty-six percent of Clinton supporters -- registered Democrats who
want Clinton as the nominee -- are now backing Obama. That's down from
75 percent in the end of June. Twenty-seven percent of them now say
they'll support McCain, up from 16 percent in late June."

Look, if Darth, Rice, etc., were running, the whole "Bush's Third
Term"/"It's the GOP's fault!" shtick might have more traction than it
appears to have, but they aren't and it is looking like the Dems'
attempt to convince people otherwise isn't working as well as they might
like.
