Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has finally surpassed New York Senator Hillary Clinton in the polls. Unfortunately for Romney, it's a poll measuring the number of people committing to vote against him.
Numbers! Gimme numbers!
The Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 44% of Likely Voters would definitely vote against Romney if he's on the ballot in 2008. That's a point higher than the 43% who would definitely vote against Clinton. Only one other possible candidate surpassed Clinton in this category all year (former House Speaker Newt Gingrich who is not considered a candidate at this time).
It's only one poll, and only 1%, but I'm in a negative numbers mood.
In terms of partisan reaction, it's interesting to note that 25% of Republicans say they would definitely vote against Romney while 22% of Democrats would vote against Edwards.
Enough poll talk. 'K, bye.

Poll posts are dumb. But what the hell.

That may be dumb, but I like the momentary thrill of Romney being more hated by 1000 people who have been selected by random by an anonymous pollster.

And I anonymously join you in being anonymously joyed as well.

Then I will agree, which makes it anonymously unanimous.
