Here we go again

In fact, at RealClearPolitics, the AVERAGE of the polls showing each candidate v. McClain shows Obama doing better than Clinton, +2.6 to +1.2, both within the margin of error (i.e. very close race for both). In favorable ratings, average of the polls, O leads C +12.3 to +4.7.

I posted about lying with statistics earlier. I don't think any primary polls are an accurate reflection of what may or may not happen in the general election for either candidate.

As HC gets more desperate, it gets more surreal. I think this is going to end up being uglier than I imagined earlier. Her exaggerations get greater every day, and her husband is no better. They appear to be on a crusade. Delusions of grandeur, victims of conspiracies, ala Nixon. I never thought we'd see another politician like Nixon but boy was I wrong.

Saturday's DNC meeting may become a zoo. The Republicans must be loving all this.

Clinton Casts Wide Net of Exaggeration, Claims to Lead in “Every Poll”

From CBS News’ Fernando Suarez:
BILLINGS, MONT. -- During an evening rally in Montana’s largest city Tuesday night, Hillary Clinton explained to the crowd why she should be the Democratic Party’s nominee, but what ensued was a list of overstatements and exaggerations as she made her case. “You have to ask yourself, who is the stronger candidate? And based on every analysis, of every bit of research and every poll that has been taken and every state that a Democrat has to win, I am the stronger candidate against John McCain in the fall,” she said.


The problem is, there are a number of polls that show Clinton in a close race with John McCain, many within the margin of error, not including a few that show Barack Obama beating McCain by a larger margin than Clinton.
