Why is Hardball asking if Hillary can "Pull an upset" in Nevada?

[MadBadger]

There has been one poll that shows Obama ahead but inside the MOE, and one poll that shows him behind but in the MOE, and then another that will come out tomorrow with her up nine. And even though Nevada is extremely hard to poll, i dont understand how anybody could think that he is the clear frontrunner in Nevada.

1. Lowering expectations for Hillary.

Hey, it worked for them in the New Hampshire primary.

[KennedyGuy]

3. yeah..that gushing, fawning Obama praise should definitly be repeated..

[Yael]

2. Starving to appear relevant? Keeping the story alive?

Ad revenue?

Manufacturing stories just because they can?

[Unsane]

4. Odd considering the media's been acting like she's a shoe-in for the nomination over the past week

[Proud2BAmurkin]

5. He has all the advantages that would make it a cakewalk for a politically skilled candidate

If he blows it, it will show he can't run a campaign

[BeyondGeography]

6. Yup...what with all the elected Dems in NV behind him

Oh, wait, that would be Hillary.

7. which one shows her up 9?

[papau]

8. 60,000 union member with members given 2 paid hours at place of employment to vote in front of union

leaders. We already had the reports by union members of the union bosses strong arming the workers to vote for Obama.

This is an election that usually draws less than the total union membership .

Those polls mean nothing. After Obama playing the race card in SC and the union in NV, Hillary is the underdog until 2/5.

10. Obama had basically no union support in Iowa and still won

[Skwmom]

11. Obama did not play the race card - Clinton did. Furthermore,

many blacks were going to switch to Obama once they viewed him as viable.

9. I am resigned to the fact Clinton will likely win Nevada.

She is favored by Reid's political machine there. Obama is a longshot at best.

Let's go on to South Carolina, and do the best we can there.

12. Because according to the polls, she is behind Obama.

Also, for many people right here on DU her win would really be an upset. She'd have to have won by rigging the vote or lying. She has absolutely no creditability on her own.

[MadBadger]

13. What polls?

One has him up and one has her up, and one coming out tomorrow has her up 9. Seems like the polls favor her.

[bratfavre]

14. I agree. Nevada is too close to call n/t

[MS Liberal]

15. Ronald Regan...need I say more.
