Talk about managing expectations. I was watching everyone show the polls that had her with a lead then they turn around and say if she wins its an upset. Say what?

1. More M$M Bullshit.
"lowering expectations", "comeback kid", "against all odds".

Whatever.

2. Hillary will likely win Nevada, then Obama will win SC, then we go to Super Tuesday.

I hope I'm wrong and Obama pulls a miracle in NV; most of all I'm hoping her win isn't huge there, realistically.

4. I think it is because she will have overcome the constant attacks
by the media and Edwards and Obama. She is being vilified and any win under those conditions is an upset.

11. yeah...
no. I hate that poly. Feign ignorance as an attempt to avoid discussion. If you don't want to talk about it--don't post. Dang, you Obama supporters always trying to pick fights.

13. That is mostly because the polls/pundits do not know how to compute the Union vote
Given that 70% of the population lives in Vegas and everyy other person in Vegas who is not in Management is in the union. It will be interesting to see what happens.

14. Is it because a few days ago it was predicted that she would
lose and now her poll numbers are changing. Obama
was predicted to win. This is an upset.

15. I think that Obama is being considered the favorite because of the Culinary union.
It seems to be CW that it's a big plus for Obama, so that's probably why he's being considered the favorite.

16. Anybody have a sense of the second-choice situation?
Since this is a neck-and-neck caucus with three candidates, it looks like the third-place voters could decide the contest.
