Obama supporters: Do you agree with your candidate that Indiana is the "tie-breaker"?

[Clintonista2]

Poll question: Obama supporters: Do you agree with your candidate that Indiana is the "tie-breaker"?

I agree with your candidate.

[democrattotheend]

1. No, it was a really stupid thing for him to say.

I cringed when I heard it. He's run a great campaign but the one thing they have not done a good job of is managing expectations.

I don't think he meant that it was the tie breaker as in whoever loses should drop out though. I think he meant that it was the tiebreaker in these three contests.

But I am curious, if you agree with Obama, does that mean you think Clinton should drop out if she loses Indiana?

[Clintonista2]

5. Sure, just as long as you would agree that Obama should drop out if he loses Indiana

[sellitman]

9. That stuff you are smoking must be illegal.

[mckeown1128]

15. OMG.... that picture is AWSOME......lol NT

[marimour]

2. No. To be a tiebraker they would have to actually be tied. He's way ahead.

[NanceGreggs]

7. Bingo!

We have a winner!

[bluetrain]

30. He's "way ahead" based on a single caucus which disenfranchised minority voters and

two entire state primaries which has no interest in seating. Is this what Democracy looks like?

[PseudoIntellect]

32. Which "single caucus" led to his entire 136 delegate lead?

[Piperay]

3. No, I waiting till

he "cleans Hillary's clock" in NC. :evilgrin:

[hollowdweller]

4. I think it's who wins the most delegates?

I say as long as there are enough potential delegates out there to change the balance they should keep going.

[and-justice-for-all]

6. From what I have seen...

Obama has won the most states, the most delegates and has the popular vote...I do not see any reason to lose hope in Obama.

[WA98296]

8. There is no tie, no need for a "tie breaker".

[Diane R]

10. He's way ahead in the bottom of the 9th inning...there is no tie. Only in Hillary's dreams.

[Clintonista2]

12. Are you calling Obama a liar?

[cali]

13. hey,did you know hilly compared the PM of NZ

to a cockroach the other day? Do you agree with your idol, hillbot?

[Clintonista2]

16. Hey Cali, why aren't you watching Rev. Wacko's interview right now?

Don't you want to watch him call for the death of white people and jews?

19. I'm trying to decide

If it would be better to be shipped off to gitmo, or to one of Obama's "ex-gay rehabilitation camps," complete with gas chambers (for those who refuse to comply) and 24/7 Donnie Mcclurkin music (*shudder*- I'll take the gas chambers please).

20. I'm planning to dart across the Canadian border

when Queen Hill the terrible, dissolves all civil rights for progressives and hangs the horribly tortured liberal, progressives, blacks and all citizens from states that voted against her from city lamp posts in Chicago, Atlanta, San Francisco, Seattle and D.C. I hear she's going to order castration for all males who have cheated on their wives, starting with Bill.

[Clintonista2]

21. As long as you're out of the country

It's a win for America.

35. Unfortunately, you seem to be lacking in critical reading skills.

Maybe you'll learn that once you get to junior year.

Obama said it was a tiebreaker between Pennsylvania and North Carolina. There's no need for a tiebreaker in the primary as a whole, since he can't be caught.

[Gore1FL]

11. Maybe

But wouldn't Hillary have to tie him first?

[stray cat]

14. Hillary should take NC if she really has momentum

Momentum is not winning by 10 when you were up by 20 a month ago.

[Condem]

18. No- Guam is.

[mmonk]

22. No

They aren't tied.

[johnnydrama]

23. Obama's a little naive.

He doesn't understand how much you're supposed to lie to be a politican.

Like when the 3 candidates were asked what their worst quality was, and he told the real truth, and Hillary and Edwards told some bullshit.

Or like he says how he thinks a certain state will go, when everybody knows you're supposed to lie and say you have no chance, and will be lucky to get within 30.

[Hippo_Tron]

28. Or he wants to up the ante, getting Hillary to say the same thing

Obama isn't looking to be the comeback kid, he's looking to get rid of Hillary once and for all. One way for him to do that is to get her to mutually agree to a battleground and then win that battleground. It's a gamble, but if he wins Indiana, it will pay off.

[yurbud]

24. it's only a tie breaker if Hillary says it is, sort of like this Monty Python skit:

[ladywnch]

25. when did he say this please? n/t

[Clintonista2]

26. About two weeks ago

He said that if Clinton wins Penn, then Indiana will be the "tie-breaker"

[GarbagemanLB]

27. A 'tie-breaker' would be Hillary getting an equal amount of pledged delegates, plus one. Till then,

Obama is in the lead.

[RBInMaine]

31. NO, he was obviously saying Indiana was a "tiebreaker" between PA, NC, and IN, NOT the whole race.

I can understand the confusion, but especially when HillFANS take things out of context. He was saying all 3 of those states were very important and IN was going to be very close so a tiebreaker of sorts between those 3 contests. GET REAL.

[PseudoIntellect]

33. If he said that, then that's a really stupid thing to say.

It's like being ahead 9-0 in a game where you have to get to 10 points to win, and then accepting the offer of someone who says "Okay, whoever wins the next point wins it all." It's not that extreme, but that's what I get out of it.

36. That one week period after Senator Obama is declared the Democratic nominee

is going to be so sweet here in GD: P.

By that time, of course, Jimbo will have a full-time poster back on duty in his environs, I suspect.

[Crunchy Frog]

37. There is no tie. n/t
