CNN and that agent of change thing
Immediately after it became known that Sarah Palin would be John McCain’s running mate, CNN ran a poll asking people if they had supported Hillary Clinton if they would now consider McCain/Palin. Approximately 41% at the last I saw it said yes. That’s enough to turn this election into a washout for Obama. So, CNN immediately changed their poll.
The new poll now asks who is the stronger VP candidate, Biden or Palin. So far, 69% are favoring Biden. So, I guess CNN will let this one ride for a while. However, this begs the question for me. What exactly are people looking for in Obama’s “change”? There’s no “change” with Biden. Biden’s been a DC insider forever. So, I’m perplexed that 69% of the people voting in this poll ever considered Obama in regards to any of the other primary candidates. He had by far the least experience and age and therefore was not the strongest candidate.
But, if I did all that thinking, I’d be doing exactly what CNN wants. And that is, forgetting about the poll they yanked. In the big picture, that’s the only one that mattered.
