Sinclair!
YES!
No. Things will get really ugly starting right about now. The Clintons cannot afford to lose Texas, if they lose Texas, it's over.
Great shot. Is it real, or is it Photoshop (no, not the bubble part)?
Clinton Obama RCP Average 02/11 - 02/14 50.3 40.0 Rasmussen 02/14 - 02/14 54 38 InsiderAdvantage 02/14 - 02/14 48 41 TCUL/Hamilton 02/11 - 02/13 49 41These polls will change and most likely tighten up as they are just now getting ramped up in Texas with ads and rallies.
Lots of pubs are going to crossover to vote for Obama. McCain may not win very big as a result. JMO
Arent the Texas and Ohio primaries on March 4? A lot can happen between now and then.
Early voting in TX starts the 19th Feb.
I did the same as you in NJ as McCain had it won and Romney wouldn’t get close but I disagree with voting for Shrillary, ever.
I must attempt to dissuade you from supporting this ultimate evil.
We will undress Barack when the time is right. But to support the corrupt Clintons and aid in a proportional distribution of delegates by supporting the Beast is wrong.
We must not do anything to give daylight to the Clinton vampires.
Yes, I read the Rasmussen page. When did they conduct it? I may have missed the actual polling dates. My sense is that this doesn’t fit the political reality of a three day polling starting Wednesday after the Potomac massacre.
I think Texas will go for Obama.
The democrats do not have all or nothing states, it is all proportional based on the popular vote.
You are distinctly in the minority on this. I have detailed numerous reasons for this. Plus the "X" factor of youth vs. crotchety oldness runs heavily in Obama's favor. Also your analysis discounts the poll numbers on the Iraq War. McCain is already being widely ridiculed for his "100 years" and "10,000 years" comments regarding troops in Iraq. But these are trivialities. The main thing is that a comeback for Clinton will dispirit the activist troops on their side, which will give us a fighting chance in Nov.
GO OBAMA!! CRUSH HER!
What I noticed is that most polling firms are only polling registered or likely democrats voters and not polling a lot of independents who for sure can vote in both Ohio and Texas democrat primaries and they are going to vote in large numbers.
This means Hillary is in deep trouble. She may win, but isn’t going to win big enough to stop Hussein.
Yes, because delegate apportionment is based on Democratic turnout in the last election, and voter turnout has historically been very low in a number of heavily Hispanic areas. So even if record number of Hispanics do turn out in San Antonio, the Rio Grande Valley and other areas, their districts won't get any more delegates.
