[C_U_L8R]

1. Was it Rocky or Rambo that did Hillary in?

[CherokeeDem]

11. Most Likely...

the stupid April Fools Joke.

[Cha]

28. Wow, I didn't see that..another mark

penn classic?

[ampad]

2. Oh god please

I hope this is a trend that keeps.

[meow mix]

3. K&R!

:patriot:

[goclark]

5. Please be true

[nxylas]

4. They're not that new

This must be at least the 4th thread I've seen on this poll today.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

6. I hadn't seen it until now - wow!

[polichick]

7. I do think they're ahead of the curve...

The only bumper stickers and yard signs I see here in SE PA are for Obama; people come up to me every day when they see my button just to say they are voting for him ~ there is such a feeling of hope and unity (though I know that might sound corny)!

[nxylas]

9. I'm going to look at overall trends

Rather than relying on a single poll. It'll be interesting to see whether this poll is an abberation or the first of many.

[polichick]

13. Others have shown the race tightening, but this is the first that puts Obama ahead...

Still, from what I see on the ground, it makes sense ~ there are no Clinton bumper stickers, no yard signs, no buttons. Not even a campaign office.

[zulchzulu]

10. That's cool

I always have a sticker or button or two to hand out to people here in WI.

[polichick]

14. That's a really nice thing to do - I should get some extras...

For a while they were scarce and on back order, but we just got some in the office. Thanks for the reminder!

[Cha]

29. Not Corny!

[Swamp Rat]

8. We are starting to see the effects of the 'sniper' story combined with negative campaigning.

Mark Penn's campaign style only works with repuke authoritarian types.

Hillary should have fired him long ago. x(

[Oilwellian]

12. ROFL

Now that lovely piece of art made me bust out laughing. :rofl:

[Swamp Rat]

15. Coming from you, THAT made my day.

:hug:

Now I can happily return to my studies. :)

[panhead1961]

16. Ex Manch Vegas Democrat - Here

Now residing in PA - voting for Obama. The local news taked about the 100,000 + new voter resitrations and the thousands of republicans registering to vote in the democratic race. I don't trust polls but everyione I talked to here is either a McCain or Obama supporter.

[Cha]

31. Thanks! Wondering what those

republican cross registrations are about?

[OHdem10]

17. outllier poll according to news reports.

[D23MIURG23]

18. un-fricking-believable

:wow:


I had high hopes for Obama in PA, but that is insane!!

[Botany]

19. I don't know about the polls but ...

.... lots of vets and blue collar in PA ...... Bosnia and NAFTA
can not help Clinton

[shellgame26]

20. Truth be known

All those early voters in Ca are having buyers remorse now. If the Ny or California primaries were held today Obama would sweep them!

[Hepburn]

36. I do agree....

... and I am from SoCal.

I am seeing lots of "buyer's remorse" on those who voted for Hillary in our primary. I have not seen one person go from Obama to Clinton or from Obama to McCain....but I have heard from quite a few who have decided that if Obama is our nominee in November, they will vote for him over McCain. In the same breath, most now say it it is Hillary they will not vote at all, will pass voting on the top of the ticket race, or they will vote for McCain.

Lots of talk on the Bosnia bullshit and the race baiting and other dirty campaigning by Hillary.

[DearAbby]

21. Doing the DearAbby Okie Dokie dance

Move the furniture, this mamma is makin the moves!

[SunsetDreams]

22. ummm wow

[davidpdx]

23. I think the fact that he is gaining is great

but I'd take these poll numbers with a grain of salt. Let's wait for Rasmussen or Survey US to see what they say the trend is.

[nebula]

24. Say good night Hillary

prepare to be humiliated when you lose PA.

[Stephanie]

33. Goodnight, Hillary!

And not a moment too soon.

[ClayZ]

25. Yay .....up he goes! K and R

[algol]

26. Combined with what is starting to look like a SD flood,

and Hillary cannot be feeling good.

[Blondiegrrl]

27. Oh, that's beautiful!

This is the first poll I've seen in which he was ahead, so I'm thinking he's still lagging slightly behind. However, in all the recent polls, he's closing the gap to under 10 points. I think he'll do a lot better in PA than the Clinton camp expects.

[IndyHatedByBothSides]

32. Hopefully he hasn't peaked too early...

...as I think he may have in New Hampshire and California.

On the other hand, the great thing about keeping Hillary in the race is that it bankrupts her from running in the future.

[Blondiegrrl]

34. Good point about the campaign bankrupting her.

The Clintons are gonna be eating Mac & Cheese for the next year or so. Finally, they'll be people I can identify with! LOL

[Johnny__Motown]

30. It seems like an aberration, but anything within the margins 3 weeks out is good news to me

[samsingh]

35. have these been confirmed?

[liberaldem4ever]

37. K & R!!

[my3boyz]

38. There is NO WAY this poll is true! I'm a HUGE Obama fan and I don't believe this for a minute. nt

[sonias]

39. Coming through - excuse us, coming through

Ain't no mountain high enough ....

Obamanos!
