Obama will win WY, MS, and with 6 weeks to work, close the 5% gap in PA.
Obama trails less than 10% in the PA polls. He could close that gap in one week if he needed to. But, coming off of a TX caucus win, a win in WY and a win in MS, with 6 weeks to campaign exclusively in PA, he will take it.

He has the trending SuperD's, the money, the ground organization, and the momentum.

After April 22nd, he will have a lead of over 200+ delegates, a lead in the popular votes and two more wins approaching in IN and NC.

GO, Obama!

2. Hillary's last lead, among SuperD's is down to 40.

5. So what if she's in the lead? And by a lousy 40? What does that mean, people actually like her?
Gotta love the Obama "twist everything" brigade on DU.

Arrogant much?

Face it, you got thrashed in three states and your fake lead from the states where you can cross party lines to vote in primaries-- allowing the disappointed Republicans to secretly try to scuttle the Dem. ticket-- is now exposed as the phantom it always was.

This is why people don't like you.

11. 51 to 48 does not a "thrashing" make.

13. "trashing" = Hillary win
70-30 Obama win = barely hanging on.

19. Sorry. Getting thrashed is losing 12 in a row by an average of 31 points.
On March 4th Obama lost by an average of 2.75; not a thrashing.

6. Excuse me? Hillary had a 20 point lead, he closed it to 10 in 2 weeks.
Hillary's lead is already down to single digits in PA, with 6 weeks, wnad two more wins, he can do it easily.

16. 54 to 44, barely, but yes, she did. However TX at 51-48 and Obama
taking the Caucus, leaves only 2 large-margins wins: RI and OH.

Obama had a large margin win in VT and a close win in TX.

Not three thrashings.

17. She'll cheat the process
She'll bring the FL MI issue before the rules committee who happen to be her friends.

18. No matter how they are seating, she won't take the delegate lead.
The only thing breaking those rules would bring her is if they were seated, as is without a re-vote, she would have a lead in popular vote.

MI pushes her over where no one had the option to vote Obama.

20. Ahh, just like another famous DU Obama's predictions?
A certain Obamaniac last week predicted a big Texas win for Obama, a narrow 5-point win for Clinton in Ohio, and a stunning upset victory for Obama in Rhode Island. How'd those predictions go for ya, Miss Cleo? :)

As for "trending SuperD's", they will be trending away from Obama after last week's miserable performance. He has a political glass jaw that just took a square hit.

22. The great thing about predictions, is you can always make new ones
and hope no one remembers the old ones.:P

I am having fun now.

It was a rough week for Obama, we will see in the coming weeks if he has the politically ability to come back from a few hits. To be honest I am quite impressed with Hillary's ability to continue and do so well. She got over a million votes in two states, after Obama has stormed across the country this past month.

I think it is a sign of her strength more than a sign of his weakness. I am starting to not like the prospect of losing either of them. They are running as if this is the General Election, and I feel that it is.

23. Please don't inflate expectations for Pennsylvania.
Between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, it's a really rural, conservative, and racist area.

Obama will be lucky to win 45% of the vote in PA.

24. He's already polling at that.
And he may not close the gap, but that is not what he usually does.

25. That was before Clinton's kitchen sink hit him in the head.
With the media lavishing love on her right now, I'll bet the next PA poll shows her up by 15 points.

26. Bill is actually in Wyoming today to campaign
This is Hillary flyover country, Bill. Enjoy a snowcoach ride in Yellowstone, and call it good at that!

Prediction for Saturday caucus: Obama- 13 delegates, Clinton- 5. Another +8 net for Obama.
