New Poll from TX: OH-bama Takes the Lead ! Look at those Texas Men.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

30% of potential Dem primary voting men would NEVER vote for Clinton. I had a feeling about this. Many "old school" Texan men are very male chauvinistic. Case in point, my rightwing inlaws invited us to their super bowl party. But, they told me that the women sit in the kitchen and only men sit in the living room to watch the game!

[Bicoastal]

2. Out, liar!

I mean, Out, lier.

I mean, Outlier. This looks to be an aberration--most polls show Clinton in the lead, but Obama is definitely gaining on her.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

4. Right. Not saying this is the definitive poll - but, it's a poll and it's

a newer poll than some of the others.

[ruggerson]

[still_one]

26. Actually that is a surprise to me. I thought she was ahead by much more in Texas /nt

[tandem5]

6. ah the cycle begins again in the afternoon. nt

[bluestateguy]

7. I'd love to believe that this is true

but ARG's polls have been crap all year.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

11. Yep. Maybe they are right this time

[K Gardner]

10. Sweet !

[hell-bent]

12. How about these three new polls

[NJSecularist]

14. It's likely that this one is off by 6 points

and the others are off by 6 points.

Which leaves this race is a dead heat, to be decided in the next 2 and a half weeks.

[msongs]

[catagory5]

21. aghhhhhh, people quit wasting your 3 post's on ARG.....

it's rubbish. Or should I say keep on wasting your pro-obama post's on this fecal matter of a poll....

[Az_lefty]

22. I don't think it's so much chauvinistic, just sick fo the Clinton's in all forms

[Laura PourMeADrink]

28. Well, my inlaws have hated her since she tried to "take over"

with health care. They would walk a mile on hot burning coals to vote against her.

[VotesForWomen]

24. woo-hoo! male chauvanists for Obama! nt

[Laura PourMeADrink]

27. Isn't that funny ! It is the first time in my life I am rooting for that bullshit ! nt

[mzmolly]

25. The "Latino" lead by Clinton is much smaller than is being played in the media?

Apparently the myth that the Latino vote belongs Clinton is just that?

[UALRBSofL]

29. I always said months before Hillary decided to throw her hat in the ring

She would never have a chance because people are not ready for a female president. I have seen polls reflecting men wouldn't vote for a woman. This just proves my point. Not just Hillary but any woman.

[HooptieWagon]

30. Chauvinist Texas elected a woman Dem Gov...

Ann Richards. So I don't buy the no woman can get elected BS. It's just that Heillary ain't the woman most people will vote for.
