And yet he's polling above Trump in Texas. So yeah, he may be a small-town guy who has a lot of history as an elected official. That cuts a pretty clear contrast to the big-city basterd who has been ruining the country for the past two years.
Wonder if those guys at the Lawyers, Guns, Money blog got permission from the Warren Zevon estate to use his song title?
Song titles aren't protected by copyright law — that's why you have multiple songs with the same title. You just can't copy the tunes, as George Harrison found out.
Ahhhh. OK.
Case in point, off the top of my head:
Song title “Lady”
Entirely different songs by Kenny Rogers, The Little River Band, and The Commodores
Fun Fact: Lionel Richie wrote the Kenny Roger’s song
Good news for Frackenquencher, actually. . . .
. . . The poll numbers above total 92+%.
So, perhaps, there’s up to about 8% of voters who might actually favor him, but they just aren’t willing to admit it???
Perfect
Polls are bs. And CoPols TheBigLine are f'd.
April 2007- HRC 39% +, Obama (Who? less than 39%)
So what?
He won Iowa, and Super Tuesday and other places and then PUMA and Denver in August.
Polls are meaningless this far out.
Agreed . . .
. . . but, zero’s still a lot closer to zero than thirty-nine, or “less than thirty-nine”???
And, btw, sorry you didn’t get counted . . .
PS. Last anyone checked, Floopenhicker ain’t Obama.
Time to start maneuvering for cabinet positions and such…
I think it would be great if they would all sit down together and decide how to best run as a team against this threat to our democracy. It would save a lot of bullshit, time, and money. Who says we have to continue to do it the way we always have?
My hope is the Democratic candidates will continue to be civil to and honest about each other. The primaries could lead to a united party which, I confidently predict, would completely defeat the Trumplican© crime syndicate.
Sadly, internecine warfare over how much the Democratic party represents the interests of the Captains of Industry and their allies, the High Priests of Evangelism, (who, it will eventually be uncovered, are running one of the worlds' largest money laundering schemes.) could let the Free Market Experiment come to fruition.
Naomi Klein said she does not believe it can happen in a democracy? This is still a democracy…isn't it?
Indivisible is making them all promise to play nice and put out the Dumpster fire.
Hick even signed it (if anyone cares)…
Well Duke, if you want to split hairs, it's a democratic republic
Aye…true.
Her point was, that to succeed, the Robber Barons would need to remove the citizens' ability to reject their government. They (Miltons' minions ) are getting very close to doing just that…
Milton Friedman is chortling in whatever Free Market Hades he resides.
Obama was on Hillary's heals in the polls from the word go in 07 and 08. No one is going to come from single digit polling to take out Biden.
I know it;s legal or about to be in Denver, but seriously.
This can be looked up. Books, live people who were there, oh, and that internet thingy.
washpo
I agree those under 3% should adjust the stump to signal where in the cabinet or judiciary branch they think they'll fit.
Now look at this same point in 07 which is comparing apples to apples. Clinton 33 Obama 21 Gallup. There was no one in that race that came from single digits to be a factor and I don't think it will happen in this one either.
What a great lineup of talented and trusted politicians. Wow. I'm glad I get to cast a vote of conscience for one of these worthy people. I'm leaning towards Inslee while my wife has donated to Castro. If the media starts reporting their policies and positions it is going to suck oxygen out of the tweetster big time.
Well, I think the poll points out there is a 5% margin of error. So Hick COULD be up in the 6% range And previous contest polling says anyone over 3% or 4% has SOME chance to catch fire. And in 5 of 100 cases, the entire poll could be wrong and Hick could be leading!!!
In a different poll, where a list was NOT provided, Biden led the field with 13%. 54% said "don't know who" they were backing. Even throwing in the "lean" votes, Biden only bumped up to 17%, which is a LONG way from a convention majority.
In the real world, we are 8 weeks away from the first debate, and just over that before the end of the second quarter and the "competitive" financial reporting kicks in. In the meantime, everyone probably has enough to buy some airline tickets and hotel rooms, nearly everyone has enough to hire a good communication advisor or two, and some actually have staff in the field already working on rounding up voters or caucus goers for contests in just over 7 months.
Stacey Abrams has some sort of theory that someone could get in the race as late as September and move the needles around. So who knows … and in the meantime, we get to hear some better than average talk among the candidates and their supporters, have a chance to hash out some priorities, and (hopefully) watch the Republicans decay a bit more.
Good thing he’ not polling at less than zero then, I spose’ . . .
Hick should get out now, wait a month or more and announce his bid for the Senate.
When you look at the top 6 on that list one of them will become our next president and it's very doubtful for anyone in the 5-7% range to move up to win a single state in the primaries. When Obama came from behind in 08 he was never that far behind Hillary. I only hope that some on the far left don't get all butt hurt again like they did in 16 when Sanders lost and I hope they've regretted the consequences of their actions by not voting for Hillary. Get out and vote in the final election for the person most likely to beat the traitor Trump and don't waste your vote on a 3rd party in this one, too much is at stake.
The problem with that is that Hickenlooper judges himself to be a bad fit for the Senate. I happen to agree with his self assessment. He’s always been in “in charge” type positions rather than ones where the goal was to work with co-equals. Some people have both sets of skills, I think we should take Hickenloopers word that he would not be a good Senator instead of trying to force the round peg into the square hole.

DHS, ala Napolitano
I see Hickenlooper as more of the Cecil Andrus-style Secretary of the Interior. The position is MADE for someone who wants to find "the middle way." He could get sage advice from Ken Salazar. Heck, if he wanted to be all bi-partisany, he could reach out to Gale Norton, too.
I would be a little surprised if Hick runs for the senate but it's his best chance to be relevant in politics going forward. As far as I'm concerned anyone who takes out Gardner is a good fit for the senate.
