Re: New ABC News Poll
 

Barack Obama has been working with Republican Senators who are big into foreign policy - they were in the UK recently and looking at the situation with WMD's being available to rogue Russian states -

usually, when they focus on foreign policy, they're considering a presidental run - I'd love to see him in 2012 -

The lesson here for voters should be competence. Instead of focusing so much on ideology, we should be electing competent people. That should be the lesson for both partys, run competent people.

97% accurate!

I don't know much about the "science" of polling, but 3% error for 1/100,000 of the adult population?

I agree with the competence idea. I think the fact that we usually elect governors is a reflection that Americans also want someone with executive experience.

The problem is that none of these: Kerry, Gore, Dole, Clinton, or Perot strike me as competent. We haven't had much choice if you are looking for competence.

Yes, you don't know much about polling.

Gov. Mark Warner my friend. He is the golden ticket in '08.

That's trivial considering the ability of manipulation they have on the polls [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

39% Approval. Better still, 55% believe the administration "intentionally misled" the nation about the war.

My favorite part is the sidebar box to related stories. Dig these headlines:

Does anyone know what Cheney's Approval rating is? I heard somewhere that it was in the 20's.

Why, I'm glad you asked. In the latest CBS poll, Cheney's favorable/unfavorable numbers were 19/44.
