    I knew polls like that were out there, but Zogby makes one pay for their polls (damn capitalists!).

    Edwards is from SC: no kidding he would be ahead. I would be shocked to see Dean far aheadof Graham in florida, given Graham is popular there. Or Gephard in Missouri.

      Edwards is from NC.

        I'm shocked that Dean is #2 in SC, not that Edwards is #1.

            Some (a lot?) of Kerry's support will move to Clark, I suspect.

                Over the weekend. See, for instance, question #998 and #999 at the bottom. Lieberman outpolls the closest rival by 8 points. Sharpton outpolls Edwards.

                Any poll in which Al Sharpton beats ANYBODY, up to and including the Where's the Beef Lady, is cause for concern. Either the poll is wrong or we have conclusive prove that democracy doesn't work.
                With that said, this is pretty ridiculous, but not much worse than the Ineffectual Ken-Doll vs. Superchimp match four years ago. I can vote now, but I don't have any idea who I would vote for other than "not Dubya," provided of course Sharpton doesn't get nominated by a miracle of God, which isn't likely because in my experience God likes to have more reliable spokespeople who actually represent His ideals as opposed to a pan-ethnic embittered rabblerousing shpiel. Gah.

                  Can someone tell Clark that if he is wants to criticize Bush on the economy, that he should at least use accurate numbers. Today, Clark said the budget went from a 5 trillion surplus to a 5 trillion deficit. Those numbers are not even close. The deficit is ~ 500 billion not 5 trillion. He is off by a factor of 10. He should get his numbers straight before opening his mouth.

                    He's probably talking about ten year projections.

                      I supported Kerry originally, but then I switched to Dean.

                        It would be nice to read something of substance about Gen. Clark here. This thread is all about the Presidential horse race. I don't even know if I should cheer for Wes, beacause I don't know much about him.

                        Here's a radical idea: If we looked at things in greater depth, instead of soundbytes, maybe we could come up with sane policies.

                          Then he should have said ten year projection. He didn't.

                            -he was fired from his job as NATO commander for disrespecting the chain of command.

                            -During the Kosovo war, he wanted NATO troops to attack an airport being guarded by Russian troops, an order that if obeyed might had started WW3.

                            Does that sound like someone you want as President? I sure don't.

                              He's a blank slate given that his positions on a wide range of issues aren't widely known. Other than the fact that he was/is anti-Iraq war, what The Diplomat wrote is the best you are going to get.
