Marist Polls: Fun for the Whole Family
by GreenEggs
Originally posted to BNN 3/8/2005
Marist has released another poll for the 2008 presidential contest which I will procede to laugh at. Care to join me?
Alright, first off, the numbers:
Democrats
Clinton 39
Kerry 21
Edwards 15
Biden 5
Clark 4
Feingold 2
Richardson 2
Bayh 1
Warner 1
Vilsack *
Undecided 10
Republicans
Giuliani 25
McCain 21
Rice 14
Jeb 7
Gingrich 5
Frist 3
Owens 2
Romney 1
Santorum 1
Hagel *
Allen *
Undecided 20
First impression: Republicans are more indecisive than the Dems, whodda thunk it?
Second impression: Hillary's running on name recognition only, no matter what MyDD says.
Third impression: Why no Lieberman? The "Go Joe" line hasn't expired already has it?
Fourth impression: Polls suck.
Actual analysis:
1) If Clinton wins the nom, we're done for, but lets hope she stys in the race long enough to fake out the Republicans Dean style.
2) Kerry has a good shot at winning the primary due to his strong Democratic backing, but when all is said and done, he's dead in the water.
3) Edwards will not be nominated. Moreover, Edwards will not be elected. Edwards is, in essence, a decoy. It's just that no one's realized that yet.
4) Biden may just be the Kerry of 2008, coming out from behind to win the nomination. He's a great people person, albiet with a VERY partisan, Bush-bashing background. But by 2008, Bush-bashing will most-likely be entirely acceptable.
5) Clark will stay in the race until the very end like last time. And again, he will have very dedicated supporters, but he simply has no chance.
But after all is said and done on the Dem side of the fence, if McCain wins the Republican nomination, he will win. And that's not such a bad thing, really.
