Only Favorable States Left for Clinton after Pennsylvania are West Virginia and Kentucky
What is she going to do after Pennsylvania? With the states left, I only see Obama racking up delegates. The last news before the superdelegates decide is going to be Obama winning the last 7 out of 9 races.

30. Typical Clinton over-reaction with no sense of humor...
Even the guy who LIVES in KY was able to get the joke. I guess when your girl is behind with not much shot of a comeback.. nothing is really funny though, eh? :eyes:

38. That's not funny.
Given recent advances in genetic mapping, the Supreme Court has ruled that Kentuckians are technically persons and thus allowed to vote. We may not all agree with it, but we have to respect it.

2. She doesn't need to win.
She's just trying to damage Obama's electability by attacking him relentlessly up until the convention. If Obama looks unelectable, the SDs will have no choice but to switch over to Clinton.

9. You really need to start listening to
the RW news/talk radio. They are crucifying Obama every day. Stop blaming Hillary for everything.

The RW is quite capable of destroying him....the question is: how will he handle it?

Remember the saying: "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer"

I know it's hard to do, but you need to know what their plan of attack is!

I listened to Limbaugh today, and his strategy is to try and start a race war in the dem party. He also wants there to be a riot at our convention if Hillary gets the nom. He's sick and diabolical, and knows the only way to keep the WH, is to divide our party! Give a listen, if you can stand it!

Actually, I think listening to him today kind of jolted me about the way we have been treating each other here.

I don't want hate to win out!

41. This Clinton supporter is pretty realistic about the trends

and figures he will be an Obama supporter by August. And then will need to deal with relatives, neighbors, and generic Republicans who sound a lot like Limbaugh (and may not have heard of him). Won't we then be in the same dilemma, of knowing and responding to the RW stuff?

Edited on Fri Mar-14-08 12:47 AM by geek tragedy
for Obama. Kennedy and Kerry endorsed Obama and he got crushed in Massachusetts. Janet Napolitano endorsed him in AZ and he got thumped there.

18. Governor's endorsement doesn't matter...
most of Puerto Rico's senators have endorsed Clinton, and the electoral districts are Senatorial districts. Not to mention that the governor is in a very precarious situation due to a corruption scandal and has been expected to be arrested or to resign at any moment for literally a month now.

32. Right... like Clinton didn't waste her time in the states after Super Tuesday..
bacause they "don't count". Not a brilliant strategy if you ask me.. perhaps if she'd have "wasted" a bit if time in some of those states, at least the delegate counts would be a bit closer.

43. Obama's polling #'s amongst Latinos were identical
to what they were before he tried to get their votes.

Bottom line is they ain't buying what he's selling so long as Clinton is on the ballot.

26. that's not true
Clinton has lots of support in Puerto Rico

If he won it would be barely and right now she leads in many polls concerning Puerto Rico

13. The most recent poll I saw had Obama up 40-25. Obviously there are a ton of undecideds
but I dont see it necessarily as a Hillary state.

They are probably saturated with pro-Obama stuff.

31. There aren't that many people in NW Indiana.
The state demographically is also, like Kentucky, very favorable to Clinton. Indiana is the closest thing we have to a southern state in the midwest without a large African American population. That's the reason we never win it in a general election.

Thats where Obama does well, in the blue areas.

34. That's only 1/6 of the population.
The vast bulk of the population is in the central part of the state and in the east. I stand by my prediction.

35. There are two areas that are blue in the state. Indianapolis and the NW
So even though it may be 1/6th of the population, that means that more dems are likely to be from there than they are in other parts of the state (besides Indianapolis)

29. This is precisely why the Clintonistas..
are dragging every pot and pan full of mud
to strike him down....

They are even using his church.

If "Muslim" wouldn't stick,
then his pastor's so called 'controversial'
comments might. And these are the Clintons
who fostered such fiery support in the past.
