One talking point dies: Gallup has Obama up on Clinton by double digits, finally leads McCain.

[Drunken Irishman]

It was only a few days ago some were pointing to this tracking poll as evidence Obama was tanking.

Uh huh.

1. I look forward to Clinton sinking below McCain

[Doityourself]

2. But But But..he's unelectable..he can't win...

:sarcasm:

3. The best case Clinton could have potentially made to SD's ...

...to overturn an Obama pledged delegate lead would have been to establish buyers remorse toward Obama among early primary voters. But she can't with polls like these solidly refuting that premise. If it was Hillary Clinton now opening up a ten point lead in Democratic opinion polls over Barack Obama, it might have made things interesting. Hillary Clinton will not win the type of Super Delegate support she now needs to overtake Obama. I'm certain of that.

4. It's over. O-V-A-H, over.

Just a matter of time now...

[AtomicKitten]

5. That 10-pt national lead dispels Clinton's "buyer's remorse" action plan.

Check.

6. yup thanks

7. He took a two month beating from both sides

And, for whatever the talking point, he wasn't even able to really hit back against the attacks coming from within his own party.

John McCain will be dead in the water by early August, will get an illusory bump post-convention, and then will get pounded to jelly in November.

8. What this really shows, more than anything (and Clinton supporters should keep this in mind)

is that when it comes to either Democrat against John McCain, we will win this thing. But since Obama has basically won this primary, they should have no qualms at all about throwing their support behind him if their concern is winning in November.

9. It SUCKS when your talking points get euthanized.....

[yourguide]

10. A couple of weeks ago someone was pointing to the

results in Guam as evidence Obama was tanking too.

I swear some of the HRC supporters have completely gone off the deep end.

[msallied]

11. Guam

:rofl: Indeed,it also tanks her "I'm winning the states that need to be won in November" argument.

[hokies4ever]

14. I can't wait till she claims Puerto Rico

as putting her over the top with momentum and the popular vote. :rofl:

[msallied]

15. Those goalposts are well-greased by now. lol

[hokies4ever]

12. Wait a few days for it to change, then take another snapshot as proof

:rofl:
