(11,862 posts)I just like stuff I can see in one or two pages, but what you posted is exactly okay
Attention spans aren't what they used to be before the microwave oven, when one waits for 45 seconds vs put it in an oven for 45 minutes.

(5,648 posts)Polls shouldn't influence voters any more than the score of a football or basketball game should influence which team the people in the stands are pulling for.
Polls are score cards which measure how members of the voting public are to reacting to the candidates' stands on the issues. If a candidate is behind in a group of polls it is either because the majority of the voting public disagrees with that candidate on his/her stands on the issues or because he/she has not communicated those stances properly.

(58,785 posts)Both heavily Hillary. Do we have a projection for how they may split the delegates?

(5,648 posts).. but I have noticed that the winner usually gets a higher percentage of the delegates than the percentage of the votes he/she managed to win.
