In a stunning reversal of political trends, the latest Sykes poll has the Reverend Jeremiah Wright ahead of John McCain and Hillary Clinton if a national election was held today.

Wright leads McCain by a significant 12% with a margin of error of plus or minus 4%. Ms. Clinton does slightly better with a 9% differential.

"If they want to run against me, I'm down with it." said the Reverend Wright. "If you mess with the bull, you get the horn."

Wright led McCain among all demographic groups. White males over 30 with jobs and IQs over 70 showed a large 21% increase in support for the Chicago minister.

"I like the guy," said Leslie Seydel, an iron worker from Gary, Indiana. "If Wright says it's Easter, you'd best start coloring your eggs."

Wright also led among black and Hispanic voters who would rather chop off a finger than vote for McCain.

"Are you crazy?" asked Maria Espinoza of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. "If McCain gets in, I'm going to Mexico, and I'm from Bolivia."

Ms. Clinton fared slightly better than McCain among gay voters with large Judy Garland record collections. Wright edged her by 6% while McCain was outpolled by a whopping 83%.

Clinton also ran slightly better among women with criminal records for shooting their husbands with large caliber hand guns. Wright was ahead by a statistically insignificant 3%.

"This makes for an entirely new ballgame," opined Lou Dobbs because he could think of nothing else to say. "I believe the media had a large part in these results because of our constant running of the Wright videos from Youtube. The law of unintended consequences came into play."

Vice President Dick Cheney was unavailable for comment.
