Re: Dole among Gallup's most admired women

The poll is of Americans, but the admirees can be from anywhere in the world and have included Benazir Bhutto, Margaret Thatcher and Mother Teresa.

Interesting that the ad running on TV says top 10 in the world and cites Gallup. Is that the case?

I have edited the post to reflect a better set of numbers received from the Gallup organization. Apologies for any confusion.

Sorry for not being more explicit. Dole mentions the Gallup poll in a new ad and I was digging up the numbers to fact-check the claim.

Why is this a story?

This story is about how Dole didn't make the top 10 in 2007? It's about how Gallup polled Dole in the 90s? Is the poll coming out for 2008?

I feel like I missed the point.

Re: Perdue gets a footnote

Perdue should get a foot, the voters foot, right out the door. Easley ran this state into the ground, the last thing we need is 4 more years of his sorry agenda.

So Easley who is not going to be listed as one of our best governors strongly endorsed Hillary Clinton and Bev Perdue.

The people need to see that electing Perdue will be a continuing of the status quo and the many failures in our state government. I also list Dan Blue as being part of the problem. We need change in North Carolina and the change is to throw the Democrats out.

Re: Burr Veep Watch: Up two, down one

Is Burr supposedly well-liked here? I've never thought of him to be very popular around NC and I'm not sure what real gains he could give McCain other than a little more stable footing in the South.
