The Gallup poll showing Hillary up 13 is demonstrably false
How do I know? I read the article and it said she had been up big on Monday and Tuesday night. But if she was up so big, how does one explain this?:

TOTAL VOTES CAST
Clinton: 50.2% (7,347,971)
Obama: 49.8% (7,294,851)

The real votes show a 50/50 race. Not a 13 point Clinton lead.

3. I thought the US was just NY, NJ and CA...
I swear I heard you imply just that not so long ago.

4. What is your point? Obama is projected to be better in all of the states after 2/5.
Your desperation is really showing today.

5. Rasmussen shows 46-42 with Obama tightening the race
Also, Zogby had California going by 13 points to Obama, much like Gallup has a 13 point Clinton win now.

Also, you don't understand my point. She was supposed to be 18 points stronger in the 2/5 race than nationally. Yet, it was tied.

Polls are meaningless.

2. They have not finished counting last nights votes - your numbers are pre-mature

Do you think that those numbers will change so drastically to match a 13 point Hill lead?

12. "final" AP is H 1024 vs O 933 - with Hill up one on elected delegates - but
again there is still counting going on.

6. The Gallup numbers do not account for last night...
it says so on the top of the page. Watch how the numbers swing tomorrow, when they begin to track the effect of ST.

7. That is a NATIONAL POLL. Yesterday was not a national primary.

8. The Gallup poll was done before last night. Shillbots are dishonest as usual.
In other news, the sky is blue.

9. National polls are meaningless now
They mattered critically before 2/5 but now the only polls that matter are those in Ohio, Washington, Virginia, Maryland, D.C., Nebraska and Pennsylvania.

10. Mark Twain once said there are lies, damned lies, and statistics. All you got there is a little fib.
Ignoring the 26 states that didn't vote last night is a little disingenuous, no?

11. Oh Chad! Oh Jeremy!
I loved you all the summer through
I thought I'd found my dream in you
For me you were the one
But that was yesterday and yesterday's gone

We walked together hand in hand
'cross miles and miles of golden sand
But now it's over and done
'cause that was yesterday and yesterday's gone

We had such happiness together
I can't believe it's gone forever

Wait 'til summer comes again
I hope that you'll remember when
Our love had just begun
I loved you yesterday and yesterday's gone

We had such happiness together
I can't believe it's gone forever

Wait 'til summer comes again
I hope that you'll remember when
Our love had just begun
I loved you yesterday and yesterday's gone
Yesterday's gone
Yesterday's gone
Yesterday's gone
