PCIntern Poll calls for Obama win here in PA
Edited on Sun Apr-13-08 08:56 AM by PCIntern
Mrs. Intern, heretofore a staunch Hillary supporter despite her husband's PUBLIC on-the-fence sitting, has changed almost overnight to Obama. Expect the rest of the Commonwealth to do the same.

You heard it here first...

5. That's a good reason. It's hard to imagine how someone can
run a country if bill collectors are coming after their campaign.

6. Squandered political and emotional capital,
really dopey statements such as the "I'll have to take his word for that" stuff (slightly paraphrased)in relation to Obama's religious affiliation, strident and poor-acting-quality speeches, and watching President Clinton ruin his legacy in order to get her elected.

Mrs. Intern is very very astute judge of character..."she chose me out of thousands. All the others were too flat."

Remember that one from the Monty Python Group?

10. As I said...I've been publically
sitting on the fence here at DU, 'casue I don't feel like alienating half of the place here. Mrs. Intern I've been watching carefully...she's representative of a whole group of brilliant, beautiful, and humanistic women here in the Commonwealth.

13. Good to hear...
I have been seeing more and more buyer's remorse from people who voted in earlier contests at this point.

I used to get frustrated back during Bill Clinton's first term as the repukes proceeded to throw all they had at him and then they executed the takeover of the House to thwart him more. But when Clinton ran in 1996 and I saw some of the ugly tactics that he used - the same sort of stuff that you saw before the SC primary this year - then I finally saw the light.

Fast forward 12 years and now we have this bizarre Clinton 2-fer. They are corporatists and opportunists and they will throw everyone (including the American people) and everything (American jobs) under the bus for their opportunity to live in the wealthy power structure.

14. It is just remarkable that Bill had so much potential
and then everything went downhill...

15. It would be interesting
to see a poll in the states that have already voted. Something along the lines of:

If the primary/caucus in your state were held today, would you:

A. vote the same way, for Clinton.
B. Vote the same way, for Obama.
C. Vote for the other candidate, Clinton.
D. Vote for the other candidate, Obama.

Then maybe some follow up questions on why.
