Those polls were current polls, not what will happen 1/2 year from now...great real. I know the old saying is, you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but come on...

Bad news> 23% of Dems say Obama Should Drop Out By Pejman Yousefzadeh, May 23 2008 So we have this result of polling done to gauge whether more Democrats want Hillary Clinton to drop out of the race. The result may surprise people: As Barack Obama inches closer to formally wrapping up the Democratic Presidential Nomination, the number of Democrats who want Hillary Clinton to drop out of the race has declined. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 32% of Democrats now think Clinton should withdraw from the race. That's down from 38% who wanted her to exit the race just ten days ago. A month ago, 34% thought she should leave the race. Among all voters, including Republicans and unaffiliated voters, 33% now say Clinton should leave the race. An earlier survey found that 29% of Democrats say she should run an Independent campaign for the White House. Clinton supporters are evenly divided on the question. As for Barack Obama, 23% Democrats say he should drop out. That number has remained quite consistent through all surveys on the topic. Wow. Obama has all but wrapped up the Democratic Presidential nomination and the Hillary-should-drop-out faction is larger than the Obama-should-drop-out-faction by only 9 percentage points? The mind reels. Still, one cannot ignore the poll results indicating that more and more people want her to stay in through the end. And given the bad blood that has developed in the Obama campaign, any prospect that Hillary Clinton will continue to stay in the race will be an unwelcome one in the Obama campaign. redstate.com

Why Ed Rendell is in Clinton's camp............In 1994 his wife was appointed by President Bill Clinton to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. In 1997 she was once again nominated by President Clinton, this time for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit where she continues to serve as an appellate judge today.

wisdom of Elliot Spitzer: Interesting stats! Here's the math on the Paul McCartney-Heather Mills divorce. After 5 years of marriage, he paid her $49 million. Assuming he banged her every night during their 5 year relationship, it ends up costing him $26,849 per lay, not counting attorney's fees and court costs. On the other hand, Elliot Spitzer's call girl Kristen charges $4,000 an hour. Cra zy, right? But... Had Paul McCartney employed Kristen for 5 years, he would've paid $7.3 million for an hour of sex every night for 5 years (a savings of $41+million). Value-added benefits are: a 22 year old hot babe, no begging, no coaxing, never a headache, wide open menu, ability to put BOTH legs around you, no bitching and complaining or 'to do' lists. Best of all, she leaves when you're done, and comes back the next day, ready for another round. All at 1/7th the cost, with no legal fees.

Ford Motor Co. executives say they believe that $4 gas is here to stay, resulting in a fundamental consumer shift away from gas-guzzling SUVs and pickups and causing continued losses at its core North American auto unit. The company said it expects gas prices to remain in the range of $3.75 to $4.25 a gallon through the end of 2009. And that expectation prompted the nation's No. 3 automaker to announce deep production cuts for what has been its best selling and most profitable vehicles for several decades and could lead to more plant closings and job cuts down the road. "We saw a real change in the industry demand in pickups and SUV in the first two weeks of May," said Ford Chief Executive Alan Mulally. "It seems to us we reached a tipping point."
