Eighty percent of voters are undecided or "soft" toward their choices. If they haven't picked Hillary as their favorite yet, they aren't going to, as they've got all the years of info on her already. Meanwhile, Obama is just being discovered by the voters and time after time people come into his camp after they hear him speak and read about the actions of his past both recent and long ago. He will be the first community organizer president, knowing this country from the ground up, while people like Hillary Clinton, Mitt Romney and George Bush remain trapped in the Ivory Towers of their own making.

It doesn't matter how fit a person is. Sure you should lead by example, but you should also lead by ideas and vision. Looking good with no ideas makes no sense electing as president.

I think it was always close. But read them and weep HRC lovers. As for Democrats, the New York senator is leading in an American Research Group poll of 600 Democratic voters who say they will definitely vote in their caucus or primary. In the poll out Sunday, Clinton leads nationally over Barack Obama 34 to 31 percent with John Edwards at 15 percent. Still, 14 percent of those surveyed between Oct. 9-12 said they were undecided.

The polls Clinton was referring to are the ones that show she is gaining support among the different demographics, especially gains among men. Also there are polls that she has strong support among women and senior citizens (people who are most likely to vote). Those are important poles, not the who would you vote for if the election was today. Yes, they are all right in that the only thing that matters is what comes down on election day.

I have never participated in these polls and I know no one personally that has. A new methodology that encompasses a broader demographic (broader than the people who choose to answer their landline telephones and choose to participate in these polls) is called for since so much emphasis is placed on these polls. For example, why are there no scientific online polls that are blessed by the Corporate Military Industrial Media?
