National Polls and the Presidential Race

Posted by Little Miss Know it All

Its official–Hillary is kicking Obama’s rear end.

Aren’t you all excited?  I can see the lot of you jumping up and down with joy at the news!

Okay, here’s why these polls don’t matter–its not a national race!   This is a state by state race.  Where is she in Iowa?  How’s she doing in New Hampshire?  South Carolina?  Florida and California?

The early voting states are where primary presidential elections are won and lost.  Forget Hillary vs Obama, you have Edwards and others who can score victories in those states.  Anyone remember how Bill Clinton was doing in national polls before the primary election?  Of course you don’t–he wasn’t registering in them!  He came in third, THIRD, in one primary state, and blew everyone away with his strong showing.  Then went on to take the nomination.

Don’t take this as a Hillary bash.  I’m a fan.  I’m even more of a Richardson fan, but we all see how he’s doing.  Just remember that this is a media hype, one that has nothing to do with reality.  Show me how she stacks up in the primary states, and then I might get excited.  Maybe.
