What are the latest poll #s in NH?

[Salvation]

Southerner on the ticket:

I've been thinking that it will be a Bush/Frist ticket for the same reason...........great minds run in the same direction!

[pettifogger]

Not if Dean takes his Deaniacs and runs independent.

[Darlin']

LOL. Dang... I dunno, I had to take a phone call, so, if he did I missed it.

[festus]

;No, it's not good for us; they are eliminating the real
;nuts.

You know its a bad field when the French Looking Candidat, John f-in Kerry is presumed one of the more sane of the bunch.

[Howlin]

Point well taken.

[Right_in_Virginia]

No, I'm serious.

[Semper Paratus]

In retrospect the "Internet Candidate" Dean didn't have a chance in Iowa where they can't even manage a calculator.

[tet68]

Man, dean dropped .3 of a point, Gephart surging.

No wait, that's an image I can do with out.

[TexasNative2000]

Dean isn't eliminated by any stretch. A strong showing in NH and he's the "Comeback Kid" Part II. Let's keep our powder dry for the night.

[A Citizen Reporter]

"Fox News declaring Dean finished, Bill Kristol actually suggested he might drop out."

How very interesting. Kristol is always so helpful to the pubbies. NOT!

[Howlin]

BTW, Edwards is "their guy," too.

[Simmy2.5]

Well, it won't be as easy with Dean, but I doubt Katchup boy, or Breck boy will be much of challange.

But yes, the political attacks on Dean did start...a little too early.

[OXENinFLA]

Has anyone seen a person of ethnic origin OTHER than Caucasian on C-span?



Oh Hippie almost dropped the "F" bomb!

[Sofa King]

LOL!

[Jim Noble]

Question is, How will Clark now fit into all of this?

Clark may win up here in NH, and if he does, he will have a boomlet, be the "leader" for six weeks or so, until Hillary sends him back to his room.

You saw what the Clintons did to Dean?

The dirt on Wesley is real, and substantive. He can't last past April.

[chief911]

Please let it be so! But he's already said he would support the eventual nominee.

[Steve0113]

are there big fights?

Oh yeah - caucuses are a blast. I went to mine when I lived in Minnesota - people show up just to speak their minds about everything happening in their town, right down to the last pothole. And they do it VERY LOUDLY.

Virginia had caucuses when I was growing up, but we switched to primaries a long time ago. At least they're open, so I can go vote for my boy Al in the Democratic primary.
