5. Didn't WJC just claim that winning NC was very important? n/t

[Pavlovs DiOgie]

11. Pretty soon...

it will be Puerto Rico that is the determining factor. Move, goal posts, move!

6. I expect some very nasty stuff coming out of the Clinton camp over

the next few days. She tried, unsuccessfully to resurrect the Rev. Wright controversy, but I have a feeling that they're cooking up something. I hope I'm wrong.

By the way, I love this trend. Thanks for posting PH.

[Bullet1987]

14. I expect it next week since that's the last week before PA

They'll do something to try to deflate his numbers.

9. It is good news!

Just 2 more weeks till PA where Obama might win! A huge leap from Might cut it to 10 percent!
