"Obama's numbers have plummet--oh, never mind."

[CK dexter]

A bit of perspective:

The voters, meanwhile, have made up their minds. Obama’s numbers in the Gallup poll have been between 49 and 52 for 18 days straight. That is what the financial types call a “narrow trading range.” The ups and downs within that range are statistical noise, nothing more.

1. I like that. nt

[maxsolomon]

2. but... but... he's a gun grabbing elitist!

and a handful of rural GOP voters were deeply offended by his accurate comments regarding their wedge-issue voting rationales.

[Pirate Smile]

3. That is the old graphic - the today's gives him an even bigger lead.

[apocalypsehow]

4. K & R. n/t

[islandmkl]

5. yeah...but this is from before all the bitter people found out they weren't bitter at all...

so now they are all going to vote for bittlary or mclame, whichever, because everything is really fine, now...

finding out you are not bitter, or even a little disillusioned, changes your whole outlook...

thank you bittlary...things are all better, now...

i still think i'll vote for the guy who i think can lead this country out of this mess...

6. National polls Dont matter. ITs all about PA, and there Clinton will win easily.

[TheDonkey]

7. Actually know, it has been expected that Hillary would win by big numbers

and if she does Obama is STILL in the lead. Sorry but keep denial cozy.

[Wes87]

8. The Superdelegates will see that she is more electable and will side with her.

That is what will happen.

[Mooney]

12. Nope.

If she wins the state by 90%, then that might change things. At this point, the superdelegates are basically just humoring her.

[Wes87]

16. You're wrong. Hillary will have the momentum and could win the rest of the primaries

IF she wins PA by 15, that will raise serious questions about Obama's electability and the Superdelegates will rush to Hillary's side.

[Mooney]

20. No it won't.

The supers won't rush to her side because of her "electability" if that's demonstrated by her ability to carry one state. I know you're probably thinking that there's some kind of domino theory at work here, but it ain't happening. Your theory was supposed to come true after Texas and Ohio, and all that did was buy her time. Winning PA will only buy her time until the next contests.

Obama's delegate lead is insurmountable. She needs to carry every single remaining state by 20 points just to tie him. It's not going to happen.

Keep clapping your hands, hoping Tinkerbell will come back to life though.

[Wes87]

23. The Will of the people is most represented by the Popular Vote, and Hillary will win that

[Mooney]

28. She's already lost that by 700,000 votes.

The will of the people, so far, is telling her to get lost. Besides, I thought you wanted the superdelegates to bail her out? So which is it? Do you want her to be judged on the basis of the popular vote, by which measure she loses, or by the superdelegates, which she is in the process of hemmorhaging?

[Wes87]

29. A 15% win in PA will get back a ton of that.

[Mooney]

30. dupe

delete

[Mooney]

32. And he'd still be ahead, even with a 20% win.

You have no argument.

[SunsetDreams]

13. how will they do that?

wave a magic wand?

I think you must be getting them mixed up with Super Fairies

[Mooney]

15. They will consult the oracle.

[JBoy]

19. Yup, SDs are gonna look at that graph and give it to Hillary.

I know it's not much to go on, but good luck with that.

[johnnydrama]

35. then why

When Obama won Maryland by 23, Virginia by 29 and Wisconsin by 17, didn't that mean he was more electable.

Or do they don't count.

Why does only PA count.

[bevoette]

37. yes, "That is what will happen"...

...in your mind!! :D

[Liberal Gramma]

38. Do you realize what would happen in the election if they did?

It would be a bloodbath, and the end of the Democratic party. The Republicans are salivating at the prospect that this might happen....but it's never going to. She can't win the nomination. EOM

[ourbluenation]

9. she'll only have a net gain of a couple of pledged delegates in PA. you do know that, right? n/t

[Wes87]

11. She will win by 15 points or so and come away with a net gain of 26 delegates.

[Mooney]

14. Which will be wiped out in NC the following week.

She can't win. It's not going to happen.

[Wes87]

17. After she wins big in PA and dominates the debates, she will win NC.

[Mooney]

27. Not going to happen.

Have you been paying attention the last three months? When was the last time she emerged from one of these debates with a performance so fundamentally awe-inspiring that it actually reversed voting in her favor on a massive scale? When has this ever happened?

[GarbagemanLB]

24. A net gain of 26 delegates? Got proof of that?

[Mooney]

33. You won't get an answer.

Don't bother.

[Mooney]

10. ... and still not get enough delegates to win.

Just because she has to win there doesn't mean Obama has to. She's the one who needs to prove that she has any kind of credibility left as a candidate. This is why so much has been made of her performance there, as opposed to North Carolina, where she is expected to get her ass handed to her.

[Kahuna]

18. Not really. The race is already over. Hillary is just dragging it out

in a pathetic delusion that she can wheedle the SDs into overturning the will of the voters. But they will not do it.

[Wes87]

21. Superdelegates were created for these very situations where one candidate is clearly more electable

That is Hillary Clinton and we need to win the WH.

[GarbagemanLB]

25. Overturning the pledged delegate winner = 'nomination was stolen' meme by media, chaos at

the convention, and a McCain win in November because of a depleted youth and black turnout. Hillary has 55% negatives, and will be destroyed in the general.

[KaptBunnyPants]

31. And the media would be right, for once.

[PM7nj]

26. Hillary is NOT more electable.

Don't fool yourself. Hillary Clinton will never get elected. She is probably the most divisive politician in the last 50 years.

[roseBudd]

36. Hillary will not be elected because she is the most annoying person to run for POTUS

except for Alan Keyes

[ChimpersMcSmirkers]

22. Nah, It's about delegates and popular vote which Obama will win easily.

[krkaufman]

39. Ummm... you might wanna check w/ HQ on that.

Hillary can't win the nomination by getting more elected delegates, so her chances are ALL ABOUT THE IMPRESSION... and the impression remains that Obama is widely favored over Clinton across the nation. Obama's number are holding strong, but Hillary's are starting to plummet.

She's done like dinner.

[Hugabear]

42. Actually you're wrong - it's NOT all about PA

Or do states like North Carolina not count because Obama is "expected" to do well there?

[Patsy Stone]

34. Is your full name

C.K. Dexter Haven? :)

[CK dexter]

40. Yes, and I possess unsuspected depth.

;)

[Orsino]

41. Unelectable...

...by perhaps 1 percent (the haters) of the forty percent (Clinton supporters) of the sixty percent (Democrats) of registered voters (who knows what percentage of the eligible public).

[Zachstar]

43. Just remember that Clinton can close this gap before we know it!

So please do not think this is over! Please Continue to support!!

And PLEASE Phonebank!!!
