Those super delegates must be really stupid
Advertisements [?]
I keep hearing from some HRC supporters here that she is more electable in the GE. They flash a snapshot poll that is usually within the margin of error and claim that is their evidence. However, what it isn't capturing is the millions of new young voters that will become disillusioned with the process if the super delegates steal this election from Obama. These young voters are the cell phone generation that don't answer polls. They are registering in record levels and we have already seen what kind of impact Obama has had in once republican districts that have now elected a Democrat as rep.

As the front runner, Obama is taking all of the scrutiny from the MSM, Clinton and McCain. His poll numbers will naturally go down a little. Many voters have a very short attention span. Heck even McCain has completely moved on to fighting Obama exclusively. He doesn't even waste time and money on HRC because it is impossible for her to win.

All of the dynamics will change once HRC and her ego step aside. These polls are meaningless right now and the SD's know it. That is why Obama has gotten the vast majority of them in the last several months. Most of them know a lot more about electoral politics than any HRC supporter on this site. So you have to ask yourself; why are the supers still flocking to Obama?
