3 popular vote losses in a row in 3 BIG states - 6 weeks apart

[Kesaco]

Yikes! What's going on here? Has tons of money - buying 3 times the comercials as the competitor, yet can't seal the deal. Does not bode well for the General Election.

1. Today's talking points brought to you by the Hillary for Warrior Princess Campaign.

[PBS Poll-435]

30. No...

Hillary for Warrior Princess Campaign, Inc. <----

[knixphan]

47. Warrior Princess! That's great - :)

[GOPNotForMe]

2. Primary very different from general election and you know it.

Or at least I hope you do. Otherwise, uh oh....

[jackson_dem]

3. Buyer's remorse

His hot streak came before the MSM began vetting him. Since then he has been 2-4 in legit elections and 3-4 overall, including 0-3 in big states (all this assumes he loses PA).

[cali]

17. what will you say when he wins big in NC?

Never mind. I already know. You're completely predictable with your bilge.

[Andy823]

34. By legit

You mean those that "HILLAY" has won, right? This is a joke. Hillary started out with more money, name recognition, lots of big name backers, everything one would need to take the election away from a new comer like Obama, yet she hasn't been able to do that. Obama has millions in his war chest because he has done a great job of managing things. Hillary on the other hand is over 10 "million" in debt, and can't get the money any more to take Obama down. Now to me that shows a problem in her tactics, not his!

[jackson_dem]

43. MS and VT were legit and Obama won

I don't consider any "election" with 2.5% turnout like Wyoming legit. When folks have equal access to voting Obama loses.

[jefferson_dem]

38. LOL! Did you have a straight face when you typed that, Jackson?

Honestly.

[ORDem]

What's the Kool-Aid flavor today? Raspberry? :)

[endarkenment]

4. close the deal

the talking point is "can't close the deal". Deals are not sealed, they are closed. By the way Clinton had the nomination locked up last year, what the heck happened with her deal-closing capabilities?

[Benhurst]

18. At this point, neither of them can close the deal.

If either is nominated, he or she will have to be dragged over the finish line by super delegates.

We have a very divided party.

[jackson_dem]

20. How many votes were cast in 2007?

[endarkenment]

35. Exactly my point. What happened to her inevitableness?

[Seabiscuit]

22. Deals are both closed and sealed.

"close the deal" and "seal the deal" are informal expressions that both mean: "to come to an agreement; to determine the terms of an agreement". See, e.g.: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/seal%20the%20deal

"close the deal" is an expression more often used in financial circles. In legal circles, "seal the deal" is more common.

32. deleted

5. Concern trolling has become an olympic sport for you guys.

It's okay. It's just that you're not too good at it.

[yardwork]

Aren't you a little premature?

The PA primary has not been decided yet.

[shadowknows69]

6. Hillary started with tons of cash

What happened in Iowa? Super Tuesday? The Majority of states so far? Why isn't the 109 million dollar woman putting up her own fat cash supply if she's worried about being outspent?

[babylonsister]

7. What incarnation is this? Your concern is noted. nt

[GarbagemanLB]

8. 1. It is a PRIMARY. 2. D-E-M-O-G-R-A-P-H-I-C-S.

[jackson_dem]

21. So you are saying Obama can't win the white working class vote

That bodes well for the GE where we will need an estimate 48% from this group to win. :eyes:

[GarbagemanLB]

24. No, the point is there are MINOR differences between him and HRC. There is a gulf between him and

McCain.

[jackson_dem]

31. They are called "Reagan Democrats" for a reason

[onenote]

48. and by your logic do you believe HRC can't win the AA vote and the 'youth' vote

And if so, how does HRC win jackshit?

[BzaDem]

23. Number 2 is why he is not favored to win the EC. Maybe the popular vote in the GE, but not the EC.

[jackson_dem]

29. They are in denial. They recognize it for the primaries but not the GE

The AA vote in the GE will be half of what it is in the Dem primaries. Where does he make up that 9% that vanishes? This isn't even getting to the GE decline of latte voters, another pillar of his coalition!

[kentuck]

9. When it reaches eleven losses in a row...

get back to us. That was Hillary's losing streak at one time during this campaign.

[cali]

10. i love how you little bots stay on message.

it's just so darn cute!

[Adelante]

11. Hello, again

:hi:

[LSK]

12. is he running against Hillary in the General Election???

This argument is so idiotic!!!

:eyes:

[Zueda]

13. The Clinton brand... the establishment...

and still she is losing the overall contest by like 14 states to 28 states. She's down in the popular vote, pledged delegates and soon will be down in super delegates. phbt!

[ginnyinWI]

14. I thought they were going for delegates.

Now suddenly they need the popular vote?

It has nothing to do with the General Election. Nothing at all. Obama won't win red states he's won in the primary, and he won't lose blue states that HRC won in the primary.

[Justitia]

15. Her coattail-riding last name is "Clinton", yet, he is still beating her ass by a wide margin. -eom

[GoesTo11]

16. So if he can't win and she can't win...

Hello President McCain!

Or were you saying that Ms. Lose-Eleven-In-A-Row is a better deal sealer?

[AllentownJake]

19. On the third day

The tomb opened and he was ressurected.

or reincarnation take your pick.

[yourguide]

25. OMG, what IS going on here?

May I remind you that HRC had all of the money and media advantage going into Iowa, she came in 3rd.

She declared it would be over on Super Tuesday and we're all still here.

She's had well over 12 years in the public eye yet SHE couldn't close the deal.

That is what doesnt bode well for the general election.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

26. Tell your boss to bow out gracefully - as is the custom ! (for people that put party over self)nt

[nomorewhopper]

27. your outrage and surprise is so genuine!! GREAT POST

[suston96]

28. Important: electoral votes from states are determined by popular vote wins - not caucuses.....nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

33. Bill ! Bill ! Is that you Bill??

[redqueen]

36. Scarborough? Is that you?

[thewiseguy]

37. Has Pennsylvania voted already?

[billyoc]

39. Obama won Texas, dummy.

[Justitia]

42. Silly little things like "facts" won't stop that Speeding Train of Cognitive Dissonance. -eom

[malik flavors]

40. He won Wyoming and Mississippi. He's currently on a streak of wins actually.

[SurfingAtWork]

41. Your concern, concerns me

[dpbrown]

44. Shhhhh... you're not allowed to question the Messiah

Change is on the way!

[Drunken Irishman]

46. Yes!

Don't you love it, dpbrown? Change is comin' and nothin anyone can do to stop it!

:hi:

[taught_me_patience]

45. *poof*

adios troll.
