1. Again, who the hell are the polling? I'm from Georgia and can't find one Hillary supporter.

John Edwards is the top presidential campaign fundraiser in Chatham County

If the presidential race hinged on checks written by Chatham County residents, the leader would be Democrat John Edwards.

The former U.S. senator from North Carolina had raised $19,174 here as of June 30, according to the Federal Election Commission.

........

U.S. Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, the top fundraiser in Georgia and running second among Democrats in statewide polls, rounded up $6,995 in the county.

U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York, the Democratic frontrunner in national and Georgia polls, raised only $250 here.

2. I'm from GA, was polled three months ago, and had dinner with a dozen Clinton supporters last night.

:shrug:

Sorry... dawgs.

[Dawgs]

9. So there's only 13 of you?

Did you see the Chatham county report?

$250 for Hillary
+$6,000 for Obama
+$12,000 for Edwards

[wyldwolf]

12. oh, no, those were just a drop in the bucket of those I know

Did you see the poll? Clinton leads Obama by 9.

[Ethelk2044]

3. Makes you wonder who they are polling Dawgs

[wyldwolf]

5. because, obviously, Dawgs knows everyone in GA! LOL!

[Dawgs]

10. No, but everyone I know can't stand Hillary.

And, it's a lot more than the twelve Hillary supporters you had dinner with last night.

[wyldwolf]

11. but everyone I know LOVES her.

and the 12 supporters I had dinner with last night was a mere drop in the bucket of those I actually know.

15. Hillary made a fundraising push in GA in the 2nd Q,.

She raised most of her cash during that quarter actually leading the field. But she is down near 2 to 1 in overall funds to Obama with Edwards not far behind him.

Hillary Rodham Clinton $316,060 $393,386

17. "It's cold outside, therefore global warming must be a hoax"

That's the same logic of your position. If you don't know any Clinton supporters, they must not exist.

[cobalt1999]

18. Well, since she promised a Georgia win over Florida in Jacksonville if she is elected

Her numbers have gone through the roof. :)

[Adelante]

4. Look at Richardson

I didn't realize he was even making a dent down there. Biden's at 5%, not too bad for Georgia.

[Colobo]

6. Obama can get her.

[wyldwolf]

7. ... to let him be her vice president... but only if he plays nice.

[emilyg]

19. He will.

[Imagevision]

35. Obama has huge chance in beating Hillary - just a matter of timing...

[Ethelk2044]

36. And He will

Obama has raised the most money in GA. African Americans normally do not give to campaigns are giving to him along with others.


2Q Total
Barack Obama $269,837 $747,065

8. I Thought So At One Time But No More

eom

[rinsd]

16. He's raised the most dough in GA.

27. Whoever would have thought

that Obama would have the money but Clinton would have the support?

[rinsd]

32. She made a big push in GA (raised most of her cash in the 2nd Q while Obama in the 1st).

There hasn't been much polling done in GA so its hard to see any trend.

For Obama, he can take heart that right now Hillary's lead in GA is half of what it is in the national heats.

[jefferson_dem]

13. Single digit deficit - not bad for Obama, especially considering the grass roots energy he has here.

They obviously believe the state's in play big time as they'll be hosting another HUGE event in ATL next Thursday. 20,000 supporters showed up in April.

14. k&r

[emilyg]

20. This inspired me to make another donation to Sen. Clinton.

[Gregorian]

21. Vote Kucinich for a better world.

Pay no attention to polls.

[superkia]

31. I wonder where he would be in polls if he had Clintons coverage?

He is a true HONEST leader who wants change, not the same old politics! Kucinich the candidate that stand for the people not the system!

[rateyes]

22. Well, I'm one Georgian that hasn't been polled on that one...

and, I'm for damned sure not voting for Hillary.

[RubyDuby in GA]

24. I was thinking the same thing.

It will be a cold day in hell before I hold my nose and vote for her.

[peacetheonlyway]

28. i'm formerly from georgia and I hate hillary too

why do we all hate hillary?

she's fake isnt' she... at least obama is real. a little green behind the ears, a little new to the politics game, but real.

[Colobo]

23. Obama/Wyldwolf 08.

[peacetheonlyway]

26. Obama will take Georgia hands down

the 4 largest electoral votes are from Fulton, Cobb, Gwinnett and Dekalb, 3 have high majority african americans that do vote and go to polls.


i don't trust the polls this far out and the fact that Obama polling that high is a sign he'll win the south hands down.

[Ethelk2044]

34. I do not about the large African American Population there. I agree with you

He will take GA.

[GreenTea]

30. Must watch ta lot of television for their news in GEORGIA...sheep,,,Follow what

the media tells them....vote only Hillary or Obama....the republicans need Obama for the racist who will vote reluctantly for a woman rather than an African-American man....also keeps Edwards from being Hillary's main competition in daily news and polls....the repugs want Hillary and want Edwards to go unnoticed out of the race....Obama provides both for the republicans.

[Ethelk2044]

33. Keep thinking that. People want Obama because they are tired of the same old tired

poltics.
