69% of the voters voted BEFORE Obama's win in S.C. and many as early as before Iowa!

[jenmito]

And 51% of those who voted TODAY said Ted Kennedy's endorsement was important. These numbers mean that most of these votes came in before Obama "caught fire" AND the majority of voters considered Kennedy's endorsement important, and that's not including anyone who voted early. This is good news for Obama.

3. Is it difficult for you to understand? Let me simplify it for you:

He'd do better if the vote was held later. HE'S doing better NOW than a month ago.

[jefferson_dem]

6. Yeah. What really matters is who won.

Wait a minute. Did anybody really win? Hmmm....

[polichick]

2. Yeah, a lot of early voting there - too bad. nt

[NJSecularist]

4. Well... the same will happen in California.

You can probably get used to the same thing in California, the only difference is that those votes count.

[jenmito]

5. I don't think so.

[NJSecularist]

8. Why? Your own wishful thinking?

Explain to me why. California's absentee voting is just as large as Florida's.

[jenmito]

9. Obama didn't compete in FL. He did and is in CA.

And the delegates in CA will be divided up. It won't just be a "popular" vote.

7. Eek, I can't follow your twisted logic. Just let the votes stand as they are.

10. Did Obama change his platform after Iowa or South Carolina?

He lost plain and simple.

[jenmito]

13. He gained momentum, recognition, and legitimacy.

[jackson_dem]

16. The momentum is gone after tonight

[jenmito]

18. Wishful thinking.

11. You left out something...

O'Donnell also said that there was a poll conducted this week and of the people polled 69 % said they had already made up their minds. This was people who had not voted yet. The 51% includes "important" and "somewhat important." The rest were "not too important" and "not important at all."

[jenmito]

12. I think you have your facts wrong....

And the 51% included "very important" and "somewhat important."

[calico1]

14. My mistake. I left out the "very."

But she did state that most of the people voting today had stated their minds were already made up. So it's a bit misleading to imply that the only reason for her lead was the early voting. That was part of it, not the whole picture.

[jenmito]

15. I don't think that number was 69%. What are the chances that your 69% is the same as the 69% I

posted about?

[johnnydrama]

17. face it

Hillary won a decisive 0-0 win, and Obama came in a distant 0 to Clinton's 0.

[jenmito]

19. Good point. And that's not even counting the

0 delegates Hillary won.
