Polls mean NOTHING in February of 08. Start concerning yourself with them in around October. I’m surprised with a tagline of “Mister Politics” that you don’t know that they mean NOTHING today.
Haha. Maybe you’re right, but the poll reflects the fact that McCain has a proven track record of scoring well with “independents” and moderates.
The real problem with polls showing a candidate losing to Hillary Clinton is that she is such a defined, well known candidate. People have had over a decade to learn not to like to her and her negatives remain alarmingly high to the general public.
For Romney (or any candidate for that matter) to being running as far behind her as he is means something in even in Feb.
