How will the MSM declare a "winner" on Super Tuesday?

I voted too soon.

Who wins California is the correct answer.

1. from watching the sunday shows today

if Obama wins California, their willing to call the whole thing. But in my mind if Obama keeps the delegates split, he's the winner because Hillary is heavily favored.

3. I agree: If Obama wins California, Hillary is done.

14. I would say that even if HRC NARROWLY carries CA, Obama could still have a positive nite

It is expected that Obama will carry: Alaska, ND, KS, GA, CO, and of course Ill, and possibly ala, MO, Ariz, NM and Del. But if Obama carries ALL these states, he will exceed even recent expectations. If he only misses, say, two (Mo and NM say), then his strong showing would be adequate, but not surprising.

Any realistic scenario I can think of with HRC losing CA means she is in what the elder Bush called "deep doo doo".

2. Super Tuesday may or may not decide much.

The delegates will be awarded proportionally. If Clinton gets 60% and Obama 40% in one state, and the opposite in another state, there's no net gain. Overall, at the end of the day, there might not be an insurmountable lead for either candidate.

5. I agree it may not decide much in reality but the MSM can't resist

declaring a "winner"... thus the poll

4. No vote...

The MSM will do whatever it takes to paint a pretty picture of "stay tuned." It ain't over 'til the advertising dollars run out.

6. It'll be a combination

The delegates is foremost, but if Obama's close and does well in California, and they look ahead to the next states where Hillary won't do as well, then that would be the correct method. If Obama wins CA, I think it's all over.

7. By appeals that

seek to sell their "product" that day. The corporate media has already told us that Senator Clinton was the inevitable candidate last summer, and that Senator Obama had become the surprise winner in early January. Both of these helped sell their products, despite the fact that both were inaccurate at very best. Later this week, we will hear similar spin and lies.

8. Reminder: this poll isn't about which way is correct in your mind

but which way the MSM is likely to spin the results. Just saying

9. 2-1 there is going to be a real time delegate score board on every channel. Whoever wins that, wins

Super Tuesday.

[Seen the light]

10. Most delegates and most popular votes overall n/t

11. They're already declaring Hillary the winner. No matter what happens, that will be the headline so

don't be surprised by it. We need to stop listening to the MSM and stop looking at the polls posted here. Nothing means anything until the convention at this point.

[JCMach1]

12. It's about the spin... whoever wins CA, the delegates will be close

with any win under 10%. This leaves a pretty even split. I believe there are something like 1600 delegates up for grads on tuesday, I think they will be within 100 delegates of each other with a slight advantage to Hillary.


Headline will be: Deadlock/?

13. The Corporate Media will declare Obama the winner unless Hillary wins in a landslide.
