Two weeks to the Democratic Primary for President in Kentucky, Hillary Clinton remains decisively atop Barack Obama, according to this fourth tracking poll conducted by SurveyUSA for WHAS-TV in Louisville and WCPO-TV in Cincinnati. Today, it’s Clinton 62%, Obama 28%

Obama is gaining momentum and bridging the gap in Kentucky. He gained one point since the last poll. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[AllentownJake]

17. This is like the Germans

Laughing at the beginning of the Battle of the Bulge.

[grantcart]

42. lol

[NightWatcher]

2. if my candidate were losing, I would'nt be laughing

I doubt the super delegates will let it go to Kentucky

[skipos]

3. Hey, that is almost the 70% she needs in every state from here on out

IF she wants a lead in the pledged delegates!

:rofl:

[gkhouston]

after today, it will be closer to 85% according to Chuck Todd's math

on Countdown last night, unless we see some major surprises today.

[4_Legs_Good]

21. LMAO! Nice!!!

;)

Buuuuut don't foget she's got a huge lead in SDs!!!!

4. Sure hope your sense of humor is still as good when they finally announce Clintons obvious loss...

I suspect more like tears.

[PoliticalAmazon]

26. It will help if Obama supporters don't gloat. n/t

[rodeodance]

5. ha ha. but we all need a good laugh today. thanks

[mkultra]

6. good luck

She can be the president of Kentucky

[NJSecularist]

19. And the President of Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania.

Or we could just nominate her and win all of those states and the election.

[mkultra]

43. beep beep beep

wake up, your alarm clock is going off. Youve been dreaming.

[muryan]

46. Even Rendell said Obama would win PA

let it go.

[bunnies]

7. As goes Kentucky... so goes the nation.

yeehaw.

[galaxy21]

8. I'm surprised he's even getting 28% to be honest

[bunnies]

12. me too.

And after all... isnt KY one of those states that dont count because there is NO chance any Dem will win in November? hmmm.

I guess that only applies when Obama wins. How sad.

[Leopolds Ghost]

18. NO, because they'll vote for a WHITE Dem who is Baptist/Methodist and not a yankee. Duh. ;-)

Obviously, Obama's race takes certain states off the board thus Obama = bad.

[iamthebandfanman]

23. trust me, religion aint got nuffin to do with it

its purely race.

[bunnies]

31. exactly.

Obama = bad. Racism = Good! Thems some real progressive values. :thumbsup:

[iamthebandfanman]

20. me too, and i live here.

trust me, there are racist undertones to it as for the reason why hes so far behind.

[jefferson_dem]

9. Hillary's "we won Kentucky" = Chimpy's "don't forget Poland."

Good luck with that.

[ronnykmarshall]

10. They polled a tube of KY?

[PoliticalAmazon]

27. Yeah and Hillary's WAY ahead. Coincidence? YOU be the judge. n/t

[Buzz Clik]

11. Scoreboard

[GodlessBiker]

13. Seems like Hillary has Kentucky locked up with voters like this.

[iamthebandfanman]

22. ill remember to post a stereotype of ur state

next time i see new york brought up in a thread ...

[GodlessBiker]

25. That's okay, I am a walking stereotype of my state.

[PoliticalAmazon]

28. Lord, I'm not. I have facial wrinkles AND I don't have puffy lips....

Frankly, I'm surprised that is still allowed in California.

[bunnies]

32. LOL. I read your title and immediately thought: California.

You must live in the northern half. I think you'd be expelled from So Cal for that. :p

[PoliticalAmazon]

34. Central Coast California--I'm flirting with dnger living here, I know. n/t

[bunnies]

36. I have a friend who lives in Monterey beach.

You're definitely on the cusp. :hi: Wish I lived there though!

[Kahuna]

45. Go ahead. It will be a slender, stylish couple wearing expensive

coats and bags. So go ahead. :shrug:

[Bake]

37. This former Kentuckian has two words for you: FUCK OFF.

Obnoxious shit.

Bake

[Kahuna]

44. Man. Jethro sure has let himself go.

:rofl:

[stevietheman]

14. When Obama starts campaigning in Kentucky (and he will), watch the numbers change...

like they do every time, and it will be within single digits again.

[KansasVoter]

15. LOL...amazing what the Clinton people grasp on to now.

[rocktivity]

16. Unfortunately for Hillary, that's six states--and as much as 15 points--too few

(assuming an even split of the undecided vote).

To catch Obama, Hillary has to get AT LEAST 69% of the vote in ALL EIGHT of the remaining contests: not one, not two, not four, not seven--ALL EIGHT. If Obama wins NC and gets at least 40% of IN tonight, her "magic number" could go up to as much as 85%. In other words, Obama wouldn't NEED more than 30% of KY and WV to clinch the pledged delegate lead by May 20!

:headbang:

[Upton]

24. Smaller percentage HS and college degrees than the country as a whole

accounts for the large Clinton lead

[yodermon]

29. "I think he would put too many minorities in positions over the white race."

Kentucky Racists can go Fuck themselves.

[TheDonkey]

30. Good one

How many delegates does KY have? Enough to give Hill the edge and win this thing I guess... o wait :rofl:

[SoonerPride]

33. Only small, backward, racist states matter now, huh?

Hillary is going to be out of the race by the time these inbred hillbills get a chance to vote.

[Bake]

38. And you seriously wonder why people think you're ELITIST?

"These inbred hillbills"

Why don't you come to Kentucky and say that? You're lower than whale shit.

Bake

[muryan]

48. Half of my family lives in Kentucky

Just driving past the "Florence Y'all" water tower is all one needs to know about the state. Theres good reason to look down on kentucky, the states full of batshit crazy conservatives.

[not_too_L8]

35. here are some numbers you can bost about

In Indiana, she’d have to cashier Obama, 70 percent to 30 percent.

In North Carolina, she’d have to slam him 60-35.

In West Virginia, she’s expected to do well — but not 75-20.

Kentucky should be a strong state for her, but 79-20?

In Oregon, she’d need a 71-21 tsunami.

Ditto Puerto Rico, 80-20.

Montana would take a sky-high 68-31.

And South Dakota would require a Rushmore-like 76-24.

This parlor game is unfair, because the Clinton win scenario – such as it is – doesn’t depend on her taking the lead in pledged delegates.

Her strategists say their most optimistic calculations show her finishing about 100 behind Obama.

The strategists say that she then would be in a position to argue to superdelegates – the party insiders who get a vote on the nomination, and are likely to have the last word – that she would be a stronger match for the Republican nominee, Sen. John McCain (Ariz.).

But Obama also has superdelegate momentum at the moment, making that improbable, as well.

[lander]

39. You won't be rolling on the floor laughing...

...when IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE OBAMA'S THE NOMINEE.

Oh, wait... why, that's right now!

[MadBadger]

40. Rasmussen has it at 56-31. Hey, Maybe Obama can get above 35%.

That would suck for Hillary

[Renew Deal]

41. It's amazing what happens to people when they become Hillary supporters

You weren't so childish when you pretended to support Obama.

[Vote2008]

47. LOL....how you feeling now???

[Condem]

49. NJ
