Breaking-New NH Poll-Edwards Surging

          11/17/2007  12/24/2007
Clinton      50%          0%
Obama         0%          0%
Edwards       0%         50%
Undecided    50%         50%

MOE: 99%

OK, so it's just my Mom & Dad poll, based upon my irregular (to quote my Mom) calls up to New Hampshire.

But since it seems you can find almost any poll to support almost any candidate position (well except for the Biden surge), I figured I might as well post these results, as any.

Especially since we're being ignored down here in Florida, it's about the closest I'm getting to having an impact on the decision making process.

Rumor has it that if I send my Dad a case of oranges, his vote can be bought as well.

Merry Christmas to you all.

•  I'm still 0/2 with my parents

  to my consternatioin they are breaking 1 for McCain, and one for Huckabee.  I've managed to take two of my brothers away though.

  •  I'm excited

    That I think I've convinced them to vote in the primary.

    It wasn't until the '04 presidential election that I got them into a voting booth for the first time in probably 40 years at least!

    I just have to keep after my Mom that she can't vote for Romney just 'cause he has the prettiest hair!

•  lol

  I'm not sure who my parents favor . . .

  by taylormattd on Mon Dec 24, 2007 at 04:33:15 PM PDT

  •  Mine seem to be

    Ron Paul and Huckabee. Tells you how much fun it is to talk politics at their house!

•  This poll is probably more valid than anything...

  the media can come up with.

  by antifascist2005 on Mon Dec 24, 2007 at 04:40:46 PM PDT

•  I assume that momentarily

  the pro-HRC will be out in their usual rabid force to trash the validity of this poll. ;)

  by livosh1 on Mon Dec 24, 2007 at 04:41:03 PM PDT

  •  Sorta like...

    you do to legitimate polls that show HRC in the lead.

    by Trix on Mon Dec 24, 2007 at 04:45:58 PM PDT

    •  To the contrary, I thought they are

      the only valid ones, right?

      by livosh1 on Mon Dec 24, 2007 at 04:49:49 PM PDT

      •  Not quite...

        they're not the only valid ones... they're just more valid than the others.

        ;-)

        by Trix on Mon Dec 24, 2007 at 04:51:41 PM PDT

        •  They're certainly more valid than

          all the ones showing her with the highest unfavorables of any candidate. Now talk about invalid polls! ;)

          by livosh1 on Mon Dec 24, 2007 at 04:54:34 PM PDT

          •  With her unfavorables so high...

            how come your boy can't seem to beat her?

              I don't get to choose until mid-Feb.

                      I didn't realize there are primaries scheduled for that late.

                    Rumor has it that if Obama wins Iowa, it's over... well, everything but the crying, that is.

                        in the face of Edwards' surge.

                          Weren't we talking about Biden?

                          Silly me.

                            we were talking about how Edwards had just been Biden his time preparing for the surge.

                            came up with a Joementum-esque term to describe what he feels is going on with his campaign... I wish I could remember what it was.

                                    I'm confident that I'll be okay no matter what happens... unless Kucinich somehow eeks out a victory.

                                      to the presidential primaries last time, and certainly missed all the action here.  So glad I did.  Not sure I could handle more than one of these, especially here.  :o)

        and still takes in horses for boarding and still gives riding lessons.
