Someone confronted me last night about this poll showing Kerry beating Bush by 3 points, wanted my take on it, and I said this poll is irrelevant. They then said "Why?" And I said "It's the middle of frickin January, and we don't know if Kerry will win the party nomination or not." Matter of fact, we don't even know who will get the nomination. Do I care who gets the nomination? No. They're all unelectable. I'm not worried, nervous, or scared.

Also, what is seldom mentioned is that Newsweak polled warm bodies, not registered voters or likely voters. Fred Barnes mentioned last night that Newsweak had a poll in 1984 showing Mondale beating Reagan. Same shtick here.

I would have told him it was a New Hampshire poll.

Something Newsweak and the media didn't tell ya.

these polls are meaningless for several reasons, the most important of which is that they're measuring a "known" – Bush – against an "unknown" – some hitherto obscure figure suddenly proclaimed as the Democratic frontrunner. When the unknown becomes known, his numbers slide and the media and the Dems go off in search of a new white knight.

He's right

Plus, Dean is far from out of this race. NH isn't Iowa. From what I can tell the Deanies weren't fully prepared for they way they vote in Iowa

They also weren't prepared for the dirty tricks being played by Kerry and Edwards

You can bet the Deanies won't make that mistake again ..
