Michigan Presidental Primary -Interpreting the Results
Edited on Tue Jan-15-08 08:49 PM by antiimperialist
(Michigan Liberal):


For supporters of Hillary Clinton, the 50% threshold represents a weak victory, meaning she was able to outpoll the combined weight of a very well promoted "Vote Uncommitted" campaign, Kucinich voters and the handful of people voting for Dodd or Gravel. If Hillary Clinton passes the 60% threshold, it will be a strong Clinton victory.

For supporters of the Uncommitted vote, 40% represents a weak victory showing their work to promote this uncertain choice in the last few weeks of the campaign paid off. A strong victory for Uncommitted supporters is if Uncommitted outpolls Clinton -Phil's prayer this evening.

For Kucinich voters, the threshold is far lower. If Kucinich polls 15%, overcoming the people underestimating his role in the campaign, it will show his frequent appearances around the state over the past week and the work of his supporters pushing the "Obama for Kucinich" vote paid off.

Uncommitted - Kucinich - Clinton results, even better would have been a Uncommitted - Kucinich - Gravel - Clinton one(tho that would be close to impossible :P )
