ARG! What's Important In The Latest ARG Polls

If these polls by Dick Bennett and the American Research Group are onto something, here's our takeaway:

1. McCain has recovered his mo' in NH and SC, solidly beating his challengers. He's down a bit in Iowa, but he still leads.

2. Maybe even more interesting, Mitt Romney is steadily climbing in both NH and IA, where he ranks second and third, respectively. (We haven't seen Romney rank second in ages).

3. In a one-on-one match-up, McCain would rather face Romney than Giuliani, so #2 will not be greeted with boos at McCain's headquarters in Arlington. Also: Romney doesn't win, place or show in South Carolina.

4. Obama's lost his aura in NH, and John Edwards has gained support.

5. Edwards still holds a commanding lead in Iowa.

6. And Clinton holds her own in South Carolina, still ahead by double digits.

Maybe she, like Enron's employees, did not assume she had a Texan "CEO" who was a liar and a fraud?

Don't forget the Zogby poll of NH from early April that had Romney tied for the lead!
