If It Can Happen In NC... Maybe there is hope.

You have an excellent grasp on American politcs, but if you think SC is going to vote Blue and not Red in 2008 you are proving why a native understanding is so important

Yep, I agree with that part.

No, I dont really think SC is going to vote Dem. But if even in SC polls currently have the Dems ahead, well thats saying something, damn.

Is it just so obvious that it is beneath your effort, oh great Finn?

Great Finn?

Thank you.

You're not beneath my efforts Snoodly.

No one is.

I just figured that since, based on consistent prior experience, you were likely to disagree with, refute, bemoan, scratch at, and attempt to mock ( in that cute way you have) anything I write, it would be better for your edification if someone whom you trust (Nimh) explained it to you.

Don't you agree?

I think that you're tapdancing, and won't answer a simple and direct question because you'll have trouble giving a convincing answer. Tell me in your own words, Finn- if SC is, and will for the near future remain intractably "red",why is that so?

Here, talking of hopeful trends..

Last month, Survey USA published a multi-state poll in which they pitted Hillary Clinton against three of the main Republican candidates, surveying standard-sized samples in each of 15 states.

The results were almost hard-to-believe positive - for Hillary.

As it happened, Rasmussen came out with two sets of polls days apart from each other just around the same time, which in total covered five states. And the results were just as positive.

So I decided to make a table of those results, to make visible just how large a shift in political preference is tentatively appearing on the horizon.

In the table below, I've paired up the poll results from Survey USA (green), Rasmussen (orange), and other state polls that have appeared in the meantime (in blue), for each of the hypothetical match-ups: Hillary vs Giuliani, Hillary vs Fred Thompson, and Hillary vs Romney.

The numbers are listed by state. The numbers you see listed are the margins of 'victory' (in blue) or 'defeat' (in orange) for Hillary. The margin of victory/defeat for Kerry against Bush are given on the left.
