Recall that Public Policy Polling was the same outfit that had Hoffman up 15 points in NY-23 before Election day. I suspect their methodology may not be up to snuff.

Wow, and she tried to portray herself as untouchable. This is rich. She deserves this. As a left-leaning independent, I believe both parties will try to purge their "moderates"

And this poll does not even consider the Independent vote. Let me help to explain something to the pundits that is pretty basic,

INDEPENDENTS ARE BY NO MEANS MODERATE AND THEY MAKE UP THE BIGGEST GROUP OF VOTERS.

Keep calling them "moderate" and you will lose.

Obama won the independents during the primary and the election WHEN HE SPOKE OF CHANGE, CHANGING THINGS, BEING BRAVE AND DOING WHAT IS RIGHT. When he "left leaned" if you will.

When he started to reveal himself for what he really was, he LOST THE INDEPENDENTS WHO ARE NOT MODERATE.

Both parties are trying to purge moderates. The moderates are the deal-makers, the bribed, the lobbied, the chameleons, the career politicians.

There will be a new conservative party, and if the left doesn't shape up, there will be a new liberal party.

I think it is ssssssssoooooooooo funny that the Democrats, who back-stabbed the American people by taking single payer and public option off the table will BE THE PARTY THAT OUTLAWS CHOICE. Shameful.

But that's what you get when you lay down with Blue Dogs, Hopechange being the main one. Fleas.
