Enough with the freaking polls already

[Rob Gregory Browne]

Obama has won the nomination. Polls that fluctuate every other day will not change that. It's over. This is a dog and pony show, nothing else.

2. He has 2025 delegates?

Hmmm.

[Rob Gregory Browne]

4. For all intents and purposes, yes

he does. We'll be finding that out over the next few weeks.

Let's face it, unless Hillary pulls off MASSIVE landslides in each of the remaining primaries (which clearly isn't going to happen), the only way she can get the nom is if the SDs go against the will of the people. Is that REALLY the kind of candidate you want?

[suston96]

3. Absolutely! Away, away with polls that show Obama losing. Come back when they show he is ahead..nt

5. Hee Hee!! Polls don't matter when my guy is tanking!

6. They Got The Ickes Memo...

They have to cling to something.

7. OP has good point

Even if Hillary won NC by 50%, she would not be able to cut Obama's lead to below 100 delegates. After that, she would have to rely on Guam et. al to catch up. Wanna bet who will win the nomination?

8. Your are using the old paradigm, the SD's are looking at what's best for the party.

9. The funny thing is that the people who are now quoting the polls are the same people

who would never comment on a poll before.

Wonder what will happen when the temporary blip is erased.

[Armstead]

10. The polls will go up and down for both forever

Obama has a bad week his numbers go down. He has a good week, they go up.

Same with Hillary.

Let's face it. Each one has somewhere around half the party supporting them. Each one looks better or worse overall to voters based on short-term events.

Given enough time, Obama would rebound from Rev. Wright, and Hillary might pull anotehr Bosnia or something. Then Obama will find something to trip over, and the polls will do anotehr flip flop.

So maybe we ought to get back to the novel concept of the rules.

Otherwise, we'll be floating around for far too long while McCain steadily moves beyond both of them in the public mind and organization.

11. If "Obama has won the nomination", then explain to me why they're still planning primaries next week

[SeaLyons]

12. Did you alert IN and NC to call off the vote next Tuesday??
