FYI: Strategic Vision has some questionable right-wing leanings...

1. Edwards down slighty, Richardson up slightly, Obama & Clinton up 1 pt since last SV poll (nt)

4. Different tune than you were singing yesterday . . .

"Your girl" is behind in the Iowa polls once again . . .

Come on Richardson, push Hillary into 4th!

6. Its a new poll. And its you who is singing the different tune

Yesterday you claimed only local firms could properly poll IA Democrats and out of state polls were unreliable.

Here's your quote.

"Local media sponsored polls, like the Des Moines Register and KCCI, have consistently found Edwards comfortably ahead of "your girl." Others like Zogby, doing polling a week or two earlier or later, find "your girl" in the lead. So either traditionally stubborn Iowans are that volatile in their presidential preferences, or the out-of-state pollsters are sampling the Iowa Democrats in different ways than the local pollsters."

Now you seem quite happy with the results of this poll (don't know why as Edwards has lost ground since SV's last poll) even though Strategic Visions is hardly a local pollster.

So please share some more of your contradictory wisdom.

Or you can just sum it up as "the only polls that are legit are the ones I agree with".

3. Al, oh, Al -- where are you, Al?

I think it's getting to be that time -- he could blow that tight race right out of the water.

5. Been pretty tight there for awhile now.

I saw not too long ago a poll saying Edwards 27, Clinton 26, Obama 26.

Really, Iowa is the only poll that matters right now. Whoever wins there is going to get a big bump, I expect. That's going to shake up the whole map as far as national support goes.

8. Enjoy your short stay.

Richardson is claiming in the polls because he has been airing clever ads and pou8nding the pavement.

Your insinuation about Hispanics is deplorable.
