It's NOVEMBER for Christsake and she's up 59% to 32%! IT'S OVER! Deal with it!

1. The election is still almost a year away, and the convention is 8 months away

She looks like the likely candidate, but lots can happen in that time. She was ahead like that in 2007 too.

[artislife]

2. Look a little closer...this is a pro Bernie OP

It is showing h beating Obama at this same time during their primary season.

[Agschmid]

17. Hard to tell sometimes, we all see what we want to see on things like this.

Hope all is well.

[oasis]

3. The stretch run to the wire has Hillary with a commanding lead. A lock.

Next stop: The finals.

[moobu2]

4. This isn't 2007

[Scootaloo]

5. No, but that IS a non sequitor.

[Fawke Em]

8. LOL. This! eom

[Xipe Totec]

6. Ha! LOL! nt

[beam me up scottie]

7. Well done!

[brooklynite]

9. Psst! Can I let you in on a secret?

In YOUR chart, Clinton has been trending down since September.

In MY chart, Clinton is trending up.



I could also point out that Sanders doesn't have the financial resources, the political support or the campaign organization that Obama had, but that would be overdoing it, right?

[BlueCaliDem]

27. How *dare* you inject facts into a feel-good discussion!

[Dem2]

10. He could win and that would be cool.

I do feel like deja-vu here. I'm pretty sure I replied to a similar post earlier tonight.

11. “If you looked back historically,

where was Bill Clinton at this time in his race? Nowhere,” Carl said. “Where was Jimmy Carter? Nowhere.”

29. Kerry was quite low in November 2003. Something like 15%--and he was the DNC choice.

Yes, they backed DLC founding member Lieberman initially, but everyone knew he was going nowhere. Once he dropped out, the DNC endorsed Kerry, who had been a founding member of the Senate New Democrat coalition.

12. K & R !!!

14. "America will NEVER elect a black man who shares his name with a terrorist." - Yours Truly

In July of 2007... 3 months later I changed my voter registration from "unaffiliated" to Democrat to work on his campaign....

FEELIN' THE BERN!!!!! Let's work!

[Beausoir]

15. BernBots are the new PUMA. Not based in reality and not Democrats.

Most of them are really Republicans just trolling away.

[wilsonbooks]

18. Tread carefully, you just impugned the character of the majority of DU.

I am 62 years old and have never voted for a Republican in a statewide or national election. We are fortunate to have a candidate in Bernie Sanders who represents what Democrats used to stand for. I deeply resent your accusation.

[Cassiopeia]

26. I think that was sarcasm

following the theme of the post.

[merrily]

31. How can you tell? It's like a lot of other posts I see here. Including from at least one poster

who claims to be a Bernie supporter himself. Called us teabaggers.

[Cassiopeia]

33. Well, I can't be 100%

It was a reply to the OP though and followed the same feel of the OP.

I guess I'm just not that reflexive tonight and ready to give the benefit of the doubt.

I could very well be wrong.

[Indepatriot]

19. I guess the 200+ hours I logged in 08' volunteering for now President Obama makes me one confused

Republican.... tell yourself whatever you need to to get thru the night, but Sanders words and deeds are much, much closer to core Democratic principles than Madame Wall Street's...

[hay rick]

21. Derp. nt

[artislife]

22. I know that makes it easier for you to believe

But I think the majority of us are really the Left.

Edited to add
And if one faction of the Democratic Party is allowed to have the candidates come and make them earn their vote, surely all factions of the Party are allowed to.

Meet the Left. No longer willing to just go ahead and vote Dem even though we don't get our issues met with satisfaction.

[LovingA2andMI]

24. Desperate Much???

PUMA are NOT Sanders supporters. Never where, never will be. But they were Hillary Supporters which should say plenty about (Fill In The Blank)....

[Ned_Devine]

25. I've seen some boneheaded comments here, but this one...

...is priceless. I wouldn't vote republican if my life depended on it. Never ever. Most of the people on DU are Bernie supporters and we are the liberal, anti war, anti corporate, anti bank wing of the party. Republican trolls? The democratic party has turned into a bunch of republican trolls ever since they let go of Howard Dean as DNC chair. What a foolish comment you've made. Foolish.

[DeltaLitProf]

16. Tell me Attorney in Texas . . .

. . . were you of age back in 2003 when Howard Dean had sewn up the nomination already and John Kerry was in the sub ten percent range? Dean went down hard. I'm still traumatized.

That's another one of those "aint-over-till-its-over" analogies you could use. But by mid-February, I guess Kerry had pretty much sewn it up.

[ReallyIAmAnOptimist]

20. Nonsense...

Obama hadn't cracked 30 percent at this point (Bernie has), and you know how that turned out.

[Cassiopeia]

23. Screw this voting crap!

Everyone should drop out so we can just measure those drapes already. It's already over!11!!1!

[billhicks76]

28. Ha Ha. Hillary=Bush

That I don't want to deal with again.

[PoliticalMalcontent]

30. Good post.

Perfect reply to anyone saying it's over and to just look at the polls and fall in line to prevent party fracturing.

Thank you.

[JimDandy]

32. Yep! And an army of us will be out this weekend working for Bernie. n/t
