Congrats To Hillary on a STUNNING Win in MA!

[berni_mccoy]

That was simply an amazing win for her. Her campaign deserves major Kudos.

[yourout]

1. ???? didnt she have a 30 point lead a week ago?

Then why is it stunning?

[LibraLiz1973]

2. i am thrilled

[Joe the Revelator]

3. What was so "stunning" about it?

It was always her's to lose.

[book_worm]

6. it's the spin.

[gmudem]

4. Her victory there is not even close to stunning.

It's highly expected. I didn't think Obama could win there but he'll be able to get a good amount of delegates.

5. Thank you very much! Appreciate the courtesy!

:hi:

7. Kennedy - Kerry No Help in Home State

"Sorry, Barack, I gave it my best shot..."

[Mass]

12. Well, you;re wrong. Obama polled a lot lower before these endorsements!

and you are no credit to your candidate.

[WinkyDink]

20. The point is : The endorsements didn't give Obama the WIN. Close doesn't count,

when it comes to the Kennedy name there.

[Mass]

30. And it was not expected - But it got him from 22 % to 40 % at least with a large number of delegates

[AGirl]

19. LMAO.

[Hoof Hearted]

27. Glerf. I forgot about that photo.

I like this one better.

[goldcanyonaz]

8. Thanks Berni, thought that Kennedy and Kerry were going to sink her.

[jakem]

9. speaking on behalf of MA (and yes I live here)

what a bunch of asshole voters we collectively are.

I mean, wtf? romney and clinton?!


well, we moved here because of the supposed commitment to education in MA, and that is bs also...

[tammywammy]

10. It's not stunning

She's had a huge lead forever. It would have been stunning if Obama had won.

[Breeze54]

16. They were neck in neck in MA... 46%- 44% -- That's pretty close

With 43% of Massachusetts voters saying that Ted Kennedy's endorsement of Barack Obama was the first influential endorsement on their vote, Obama now leads Hillary Clinton 46%-44% in a state once safely considered in Senator Clinton's back pocket.

17. I didn't believe any poll that came out within the last week

Sorry, they were all over the place. She's been consistently ahead for months.

[Breeze54]

18. Not in all of MA and half our voters are independents.

Massachusetts may seem like the ultimate Democratic stronghold, but the single largest group of voters
here are independents, who comprise half the state’s 4 million voters and can cast ballots in either
party primary. Registered Democrats account for nearly 37 percent and Republicans make up 12 percent.

[Mass]

25. But SUSA had a totally different result 56 - 39.

http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=0c86ca66-ae0e-456b-838a-91981ef0af02

And 2 weeks ago, they had Clinton 59, Obama 22.

(Suffolk was the only one to show Obama competitive in MA).

[David Zephyr]

11. I have to give it up to Hillary. She really pulled it out in MA.

I hate to say it, but congratulations. And she clearly earned it.

[ShortnFiery]

26. Bullshit! She was always expected to win. This is M$M bullshit! Pure and simple.

[Breeze54]

13. Hardly "stunning".... The delegates are close to split even right now

between the two of them....

[MethuenProgressive]

14. Mass. says pfft to Teddy, Kerry, and Gov Patrick

Congrats!!

[Island Blue]

15. Ummmm. no. This was expected.

She was actually polling much higher a few weeks ago.

[WinkyDink]

21. You think Ted Kennedy expected this?

[Mass]

28. Yes - Kerry has been saying all week that she was going to win MA and reminding the results from

polls last week - I am sure that Kennedy was aware of that as well.

[ShortnFiery]

22. Hello? Both the Kennedys and the Kerrys assisted Obama who DOUBLED from 20 to 40 %

Don't believe The Clintonian Bullshit that FINEMAN, et. al., are spewing between breaths. :thumbsdown:

[NoPasaran]

23. You are very gracious

Thank you
:toast:

[ShadowLiberal]

24. Umm.... Hillary was up by like 10% at least in the most recent polls

Hillary needed to win Massachusetts by a comfortable margin to not 'lose' it, so it's hardly a stunning win.

[Catchawave]

29. Isn't that Kennedy Kountry ?

Heh. Congrats Team Hillary :toast:

[Mass]

31. Disappointing from you!

[Mass]

32. delete

[Mass]

33. She won clearly, but it is not exactly surprising. The only poll showing Obama close was the one

published yesterday. All others were showing her clearly ahead.
