Ed Schultz Prediction on Race for the WH: In One Week, Obama Will be Leading in the PA Polls.

[MadBadger]

I agree with Ed and this may be one of the first times Ive heard somebody in the media make such a prediction.

[PatGund]

1. Agreed, but....

What I found more interesting on his show today was the discussion about the oil reserves that the USGS confirmed in North Dakota and Montana.

8. 5GB Barrels Tops - Very Hard And Expensive To Get

Won't effect gas prices - don't hold your breath

[PatGund]

9. Depends.....

Easier to get at than it used to be, they think they can get it for $20 a barrel or so. And North Dakota seems to be gearing up for a influx as well. Even down to discussion of a state-owned refinery, simular to the bank and grain mills North Dakota already owns and runs.

15. 5 Billion Barrels = 250 Days Of US Consumption!

Not much to get excited about!

5,000,000,000 / 20,000,000 (us consumption per day) = 250 days

2. It is possible. But leading in the polls 3 days before does not necessarily

translate to a win. It would most likely mean a single digit win for Hillary.

Ed thinks Obama can take PA, Obama says it is possible if he plays a "perfect game". I hope they are both proved right.

3. Clearly you don't understand: rural-stereotyping-gate is going to sink him.

:rofl:

4. Arlen Specter today on CNN predicted Obama will win PA!

He said he sees what's going on there and he sees a lot of excitement for Obama.

[tekisui]

5. Interesting....

6. well, I do get most of my news from Arlen,

so I'm going with "cool."

14. here it is:

SPECTER: Well, Wolf, it's only one man's opinion, but I would pick Obama at this stage. He is running a good ground game.

He's got a bus tour going to just the right spots. I know them because I've been there many times. Doing a lot more advertising. And I think the momentum is with him.

But these elections have so many ups and downs, it's hard to say. But that would be my pick.

BLITZER: You think the Independents, those who have helped you over these years, you think by and large they're going to turn for Obama? Is that what you're saying?

SPECTER: Well, that's my sense of it. Senator Clinton started off with a big lead, 16 points. Down to five. That looks like a trend in politics.

And he's running a good campaign. And all of that television advertising with his extra money, I think is having a significant effect.

16. Thanks!

:hi:

[Coexist]

7. I like that he said, "Senator Clinton said, I don't know what to say about that?"

"you say, I disagree with that, and as a Senator and as your President, I will not let that happen. Thats what you say. You don't laugh"

I paraphrase of course.

10. also, all the new voters are a piece of the puzzle that can't be

predicted with surety. Whoever gets the most, they will overcome other factors. I agree with Ed.

11. This isn't SC. This time he targeted a big bloc of voters with his bigotry

Sadly, you can use homophobia with impunity politically. Small town folks? Not so much.

[Bluenorthwest]

13. And oddly

In SC, he made open use of religion and homophobic dogma with a 'Faith and Family Tour' but in Pennsylvania, they 'cling to religion'. I do not really see how that works.

[papau]

12. MSNBC (Tweety) says he is "afraid" Hillary may well win PA - no bias of course LOL

[rcsl1998]

17. 'Big Eddie' Also Predicted A Double-Digit TX Primary Win & An OH Win &...

[Scurrilous]

18. K & R
