First Paragraph ATLANTA, March 8 -- Reports of a surge of support across the nation for Senator Gary Hart since his victories in New England Presidential primaries were bolstered today by a Gallup poll that showed him leading President Reagan in a national sample of voters.

Oh, no! The sky is falling! Bush is gonna lose! We're doomed, DOOMED, I TELL YA!

Oh, wait...I just noticed the date ;-)

[JohnHuang2]

[ambrose]

This is terrible! Hart is going to win! We're doomed!

[JohnHuang2]

LOL!

I remember a landslide. Reagan's landslide. Hart went on to oblivion --- not his party's nomination.

Damn, I just love polls.

[JohnHuang2]

Clearly, this poll shows we have history all wrong: Reagan was defeated by Hart in 84. It was a landslide victory. We know this because Gallup polls are always 1000% correct, no? ;-)

[fsorbello]

That's classic! Excellent post...it really keeps things in perspective.

[onyx]

Of course Gallup polls were always correct back when they had the polling market cornered. Now, Zogby leads the parade, and I believe he has Botox Kerry comfortably ahead of our President Bush.

Back to the classroom for us, John. We have history all wrong.

[JohnHuang2]

heh!

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Bump!

Primary Numbers: Lukewarm for Kerry***Weyrich's point is that the media have been creating a groundswell or a zeal for John Kerry where, in relative numbers, it does not exist. If that's not bias, we don't know what is.***

[JohnHuang2]

By the way, this poll had Reagan at 43 percent, Hart at 52 percent....sound familiar?

[JohnHuang2]

G'morning, Cincy :-)

[ex-Texan]

LOL, LOL, LOL !

[Fledermaus]

The idea this country is "divided" and Bush has to worry about Kerry or Edwards is a joke.

Do any of you really think, regardless of the press (that crowned Dean the nominee before even one vote was cast), that people are going to elect anyone but Bush when they get into those booths and think?

I don't.

I have many complaints with Bush but I'm not stupid.

When it's time to pull the lever, they'll wake up.

[JohnHuang2]

I added the exact numbers to the header -- hope you don't mind.

[JohnHuang2]

Well said, my friend. Totally agree.

[Fledermaus]

Thanks, but I was just trying to hit on Cincy and onyx! lol

It must be my bed time!

[JohnHuang2]

hehehe
G'nite, my friend.
