Poll: In Match-up Between Hillary and Kerry, Most Democrats Would Choose Suicide
Survey Spells Trouble for Dems, Pollster Says
A new survey of Democratic voters indicates that in a hypothetical match-up between Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and former presidential nominee John Kerry, most Democrats would choose suicide over either candidate.
The poll, conducted by the University of Minnesota’s Opinion Research Institute, shows Mr. Kerry drawing 21%, Sen. Clinton 18%, and various forms of suicide 61%.
“Throwing yourself in front of a speeding city bus†was the most popular means of suicide at 22%, with “jumping off the roof of a really tall building or bridge†coming in second at 17%.
According to pollster Rockwell Pritchard, the surging popularity of suicide bodes ill for both Sen. Clinton and Sen. Kerry as potential presidential candidates in 2008.
“It’s still very early, but even at this stage of the game the prospect of one of those two being nominated shouldn’t be making Democrats want to kill themselves in these numbers,†Mr. Pritchard said.
Reached at his home in Massachusetts, Sen. Kerry pointed out that while he did not do as well as suicide, he still polled higher than Sen. Clinton, adding, “That’s better than a sharp stick in the eye.â€
But Mr. Pritchard was quick to throw cold water on Mr. Kerry’s upbeat assessment: “In a head-to-head match-up, a sharp stick in the eye beats Sen. Kerry by a two-to-one margin.â€

As Rush often says, please leave comedy to the experts.
It’s not as easy as it looks.
If anybody wants a little example of how many people have moved from Western New York, I attended a Buffalo Sabres v Washington Capitals game in D.C. back in March (the 14th, to be specific). It was a good game and the Sabres won 6-4, but that’s not the story. The fact that there were MORE SABRES FANS than fans for the capitals was. The quoted attendance was 14,386 so lets say that a concervative guess of 35% Sabres fans, of which 85% were from Western New York…
Aproximatly 4,300 former Western New Yorkers are living in the Greater Washington area and have good enough jobs to afford Hockey Tickets whenever the Sabres come into town. Just imagine even HALF of those people holding down jobs, owning property, and spending their hard earned money in New York. Too bad reality isn’t as nice.
