The New New Thing

Andrew Sullivan points out this poll that shows that the Democratic party (at least at this point in the cycle) would be better off having Barak Obama as their candidate.

It's interesting to see how the "mainstream" candidates Clinton and Edwards are not polling well against their Republican rivals. I have to say that this makes sense to me. Since she seems to find herself unable to come out and admit that she was wrong on the vote granting President Bush authority to go to war with Iraq, I am finding it harder and harder to believe that she is viable candidate for the Democratic party.

Edwards on the other hand has the problem of not having any attention paid him by the media as the viable contender that he could be. Which of course makes it harder for him to be a viable contender.

So, those with baggage are not doing well, but the NKOTB (no, not that one! This one) seems to be hold his own. Oh well. It is so early in the election cycle that I am hard pressed to pay attention, but with the primary schedule moving up, it seems like it's time to start paying attention. So, more on this subject later.
