The best horse has not entered the race yet!

I am holding my bets until that happens!

Here's the picture from the best horse in my lifetime:

SECRETARIAT

THE KENTUCKY DERBY:
==================
Secretariat broke last but gradually moved
up on the field in the backstretch, then
overtook Sham at the top of the stretch,
pulling away to win the Derby by 2-1/2 lengths.

THE PREAKNESS STAKES:
====================
Secretariat broke last but then made a huge,
ast-to-first move on the first turn. After
reaching the lead with 51⁄2 furlongs to go,
was never challenged and won Preakness by 2-1/2 lengths.

THE BELMONT STAKES:
===================
Only four horses competed against Secretariat
for the June 9, 1973, running of the Belmont Stakes,
including Sham, who had finished second in both
the Derby and Preakness. In the stretch, Secretariat
opened a 1/16 mile lead on the rest of the field.
At the finish, Secretariat won by 31 lengths (breaking the margin-of-victory record set by Triple Crown winner Count Fleet in 1943, who won by 25 lengths) and ran the fastest 1½ miles on dirt in history.

Secretariat's world record still stands, and in fact,
No other horse has ever broken 2:25 for 1½ miles on dirt.

Pray away the gay is going to sink Bachmann.

The same ruling class Republicans who thought McCain/Palin was a good idea are setting us up for Romney/Bachmann. They hope to snag conservative votes by allowing a conservative as the VP, but they’d still have one of their own at the top of the ticket.
No way. It didn’t work in ‘08, and it certainly won’t fly in ‘12.

Romney & Bachmann would each reelect Obama.

"Perhaps more than any of the other GOP contenders, Bachmann's fortunes may depend on whether ... Palin or Perry get into the race," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "All three of them are likely to appeal to the GOP's Tea Party constituency."


The strange thing is that, if you go to the actual poll and look at the internals, it does not support that contention: "If Perry does not run, Romney would lead with 28 percent, followed by Bachmann with 16 percent and Palin with 13 percent.

If Perry were to run, but not Palin, Romney would lead Bachmann 28 - 17 percent with Perry remaining at 10 percent."

IOW, Bachmann actually does better against Romney with Palin and Perry in the race, as more of their votes would go to Romney than Bachmann if they were not in the race. She would still be second to Romney regardless if either, or both ran, but she is a closer second if they both run. It will be interesting to find out if the election actually plays out that way if either or both Palin and Perry enter. Would they actually take more votes from Romney than Bachmann, as this poll indicates? It is not the dynamic I would suspect.

I read in the Examiner today that Romney refused to sign a pledge against gay marriage. If true, can anyone opine how this will reflect the polls?

I do not believe in the “science” of political polling done by Partisan people, having said that, Palin is well within the margin of error in 2nd place and is not even announced.

Also I believe it was Fox (also partisan/they ALL are) had a poll last week that included Perry/Palin and the rest, and they had a terrible number for Sarah. One of them is lying? They ALL have an agenda.They are never going to have a poll showing Sarah Palin out front, but she will win without their help

And speaking of unscientific, how bout averaging phony polls??? LOL that is totally ridiculous on it`s own.

So MSM Push polling for Bachmann, and they can`t even get MB in 2nd place alone outside of the margin of error.

Does not bode well for Bachmann, combined with report yesterday that big donors are not interested in Romney or Bachmann
