3. Yup. No way she can win.
I mean she only has a little more than half! She should drop out now and concede to the messiah.

Ya know the meme being pushed hard by your fellow Obamatons.

36. Neither one is done.
Neither one has a lock.

Neither one is automatically entitled to the nomination.

What we had yesterday was, for all intents and purposes, a tie.

13. Odd citing an obvious jest about a prevailing meme as the problem
I might have thought the "Gallup proves Hillary can never get over 48%" post this is in response to was more ass-hole celebratory.

Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 05:01 PM by tblue37
independents and moderate Republicans, whom we need if we are going to win the general election.

Meanwhile, although McCain doesn't do well among a large slice of the Republican base, he does much better than they do among the independents and Democrats than his primary rivals.

I liek both Hillary and Obama, but I prefer Edwards. Unfortunately, he isn't avalable anymore, so I think Obama will give us a better shot in the general election. On the other hand, a ticket with both Hillary and Obama (in any order) would probably be unbeatable.

22. Looking at those trends, it appears that when Obama
tied Clinton last night he was already on a down-swing. He might actually have won a few days earlier. It seems as though some of his supporters had second thoughts the closer they actually got to the voting booth.

33. Actually, Clinton supporters as a group do believe in polls
I doubt 10% of Clinton supporters thought she would win NH, given the polling leading into the primary.

Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 06:04 PM by The Backlash Cometh
By atleast 10%, or rather, Hillary drops 5, and Obama gains 5. somewhere in that figure. Trust Gallup to come up with a reason to skew things in a way that would favor CoC interests.

turn the map of the US BLUE in November. And put us in the position to control the white house for 16 years.
