Kinda like the nominee named Obama when the dem voters got screwed.
Hillary had more votes then the village idiot and your party leaders decided to not allow the voters to make the choice.
Nice of you to bring that up so we can discuss how the dem party works.
Want more of this?
How about the overwhelming majority of Americans DO NOT WANT THIS HC BILL TO PASS yet the demwits two leaders Reid and Pelosi are going ahead with it even knowing the people do not want it.
Who is crapping on who here?
The dem leader believe the people do not have the brains to think of your own so they make the choices for you.
If the rep party gets back to the conservative Reagan style it will be all over for the dems in a matter of time.
Say what???

Do you have a link or source of your loaded poll questions?
Gallup's most recent test of the 2010 elections, from an Oct. 1-4 poll, showed 46% of registered voters saying they would support the Democratic candidate in their local district if the election were held today, compared to 44% who would vote for the Republican candidate. That was a slightly better showing for Republicans than Gallup's prior test in July, which had Democrats up by 50% to 44%.

Gallup also has independents moving or leaning to the republicans.
