Deja Vu All Over Again

From CNN: Poll: New Hampshire win rockets McCain to front-runner status

McCain has the support of 34 percent of registered Republicans in a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey out Friday. That's a 21-point jump from the last CNN/Opinion Research poll, taken in December, well before the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary earlier this month.

First off, why is this blog bothering to post on the Republicans - Because history has clearly and unambiguously shown that in a national election, don't count out the lesser candidate. There are too many voting booth discrepancies of the man made variety which can destroy the assumption that the obvious superior candidate will win. In other words, this guy could very well end up as the next president.

The Republicans, just like their Democratic enemies across the aisle, vote for the insider, the electable known quantity. McCain fits this bill in spades (and here I thought it was Romney). We are talking about the party of the 'imagination challenged.' Would all those pistol popping anti-immigration pro-war etc etc angry white guys vote for McCain. Its a rhetorical question.

We can also let out a slight sigh of relief because the same poll has Giuliani even further down the pack now.

Hopefully this poll, unlike most recent polls, actually has some degree of truth to it. The present rule would be to take all polls with a grain of salt, especially as they are manipulated by the MSM for some CEO's desired effect.

Clinton versus McCain, this is really the best we can do? Excuse me, I need to cry.
