**OFFICIAL PENNSYLVANIA PREDICTION THREAD** |
|
What's your prediction for Pennsylvania? :shrug:
I think Hillary's going to win it by 8 points (54 to 46), spin it as a hugh comeback, and stay in the race, despite the fact that she'll only net about 22 delegates and she'll still be about 114 delegates behind.
(This would increase her "must win" margin to 65% versus her current 62% in order to pull even with Obama before the convention, not counting superdelegates. This would also, ironically, lower Obama's "must win" percent to 43% in order to secure enough delegates for the nomination.)
What do you guys think? :shrug:

and the voters who don't follow politics will think that she still has a chance (when she hasn't)

85. That reminds me of an article I read on DU. |
|
I think it was referring to the PA primary, and a 50-something woman who worked at Wal-Mart (ironically), didn't know about the math Hillary needed to win the nomination.
She actually thought the calls trying to force Hillary out was because of sexism. :eyes:

A cook report analysis a few weeks ago |
|
showed that they predicted pledged delegates breaking somewhere along the lines of 103-100 in favor of hillary, with the at-large delegates left unallocated, since they didn't make an overall pop. vote prediction.

98. I agree with you, by 9 |

but her delegate lead will be about 8-10. Not enough for a knockout punch that she wants for Obama. She is too far behind in the pledges delegates to win this thing. But hey, prove me wrong.

5. I agree with you,actually--Hillary by eight. That's just what I was thinking. |

That's a lot less than what she needs to start catching up in delegates and proclaim some sort of "big mo", so I'm fine with it.

25. I don't think he's going to get that big of a margin in Philly |
|
I canvassed 2 middle class Italian neighborhoods last weekend, and there were only a few Obama supporters, more Clinton supporters, and a lot of undecideds. Another canvasser in our group canvassed a Latino neighborhood in North Philly and it was mostly Clinton, though her support was softer than we might have expected. And then there's the Northeast, which is pretty much Clinton Country. And is it possible that Nutter could help her make inroads with African Americans?

We took bets in my office, and I said Obama would lose Ohio by 12 points and Texas (popular vote) by 5. So I underestimated him by 2 points in Ohio and 1 point in Texas, when most people thought Ohio would be a lot closer and he would win Texas.
To be fair, I also got nervous about Wisconsin. But I don't think anyone expected that to be such a blowout. They had same day registration, which made a BIG difference for Obama. Plus he had the governor's support there, so that probably gave him a few points in terms of ground game.

Delegates don't matter that much at this point |

Everyone knows Obama will go into the convention with more pledged delegates. What matters is the media narrative, momentum, and the popular vote.

She'll succeed in getting the Archie Bunker voters she was working so hard to cultivate. She won't get much of anyone else though - she's pretty much alienated anyone who doesn't respond positively to dog whistles.
I'll consider any result with either an Obama win or a Clinton win by less than 18 points to be a victory - that means the delegate math will be even worse for her than it already is.

NONE of the pollsters have talked to the cell-phone crowd.

79. Lets start with the basic - the pollsters are clearly stumped |
|
Also there is another demogaphic that they will overlook - besides young and cell phone voters - those on the fence or who are Clinton supporters who still are on the fence or support Clinton but want to end the primary so we can start fighting McCain.
Nearly 70% of the democrats in PA believe that Obama will win.
For that reason I am with you Clifford - Obama by 3

Hillary Clinton will fail to reach the 102% she'll need to tie Obama in pledged delegates.
Hillary Clinton will fail to beat Obama by the 30% she'll need to be on track to tie Obama in pledged delegates, assuming the same win in other states.
Hillary Clinton will fail to beat Obama by 20%.
And delegate victory Hillary Clinton will gain on Tuesday will be erased2 within a week by superdelegates pledging for Obama.

46. This weekend Bush will "Precision Bomb" targets in Iran |
|
It will be all over the news Monday
Clinton's hawkish, out of the blue, pronouncements regarding Iran at the debate, will sway undecideds
She'll have a fairly good show in PA
This will be deemed "momentum" by the MIC backed Media... and it will be "Obama has ties to Hamas" 24-7 until August.
this is no crazier than any other prediction

49. Clinton 56 Obama 44, so Clinton by 12 points |
|
And I agree with all your post win spin by the Clinton team.
I'd still call anything less than a 20 point win as nothing for Obama to worry about. If he could somehow close to below 10%, I'd consider it a "win" for Obama. That's not to say it's not an actual WIN for Clinton, it's just to show that he made up ground and didn't lose as badly as expected in a very Clinton state.
His delegate lead will look vulnerable for about 20 minutes, and then SDs will continue to trickle in and it'll be clear he's still the nominee. The clinton team will IMMEDIATELY start pushing "Popular vote" left and right because they'll make up about 200,000 votes.
I'm pretty sure I'm right here, so mark this.

I'm not getting my hopes up. The late deciders will break for Hillary. She will keep her campaign going until she loses by 20% in North Carolina.

69. Obama by 5, Hillary will jump off the liberty bell for attention. |
|
The superdelegates will all declare for Obama, and Hillary will stay in the race, on crutches, whining and crying for 9 more weeks.

Undecideds usually break for the safe candidate in this race. By default like in Ohio, it's Hillary Clinton.

81. The margin will be under 5 points (52.5-47.5), giving Obama the moral and mathematical victory |
|
Edited on Sat Apr-19-08 02:39 PM by rocknation
whether he wins or not.
Hillary needs 85% of the vote for a "big" win, 65% of the vote for a "real" win, and 55% of the vote to keep her hanging on. And she'll have to do that in all ten of the remaining contests, not just PA.

86. Obama by 1. Watched the pledged delegates count closely, he is only 211 away |
|
from grabbing the majority of them. Hillary's going to have to win BIG in the next few primaries to counter that and it ain't gonna happen. Once he hits that mark, the SDs will flock to him.

99. HRC by 5 and a portion. |

And have huge momentum with her die hard supporters, who will go a bit nuts here on DU. The Troll Hillary "supporters" will go 4 x as nuts, and DU will be even more of a Zoo. Many people will be Ts'd and Reencarnated in rapid fashion. Things will continue on much as they have been, Obama winning what he needs to, Hillary making a stink, and questionable judgment will abound among those who are not into really thinking about things.

103. Clinton 52%, Obama 48%. She'll barely win, and it won't be enough to save her campaign. |
|
I predict a Clinton-style "Gettysburg Address" where after narrowly saving her campaign in Pennsylvania, she drops out and wholeheartedly endorses Obama.
Hopefully I'm right.

110. How can she net 22 delegates with an 8 point win? |
|
She won Ohio by 10 points and gained 9 delegates there. Ohio and Pennsylvania have roughly the same delegates.
You may want to revisit the math again.

Since Obama is likely to do well in cities, her net delegate gain might be even smaller.

If I have to eat my words, so be it. :) The more Hillary spends on PA, the less she has for anywhere else, and then Obama closes May out in a with a solid sweep. Still, I argue for an Obama win here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5551793&mesg_id=5551793and stand by it today.

Can you imagine the tally if it was John Edwards instead of Hill - it would be 25 point loss easily.

131. I'm thinking they both need a big turnout in Philly. Local elections means more here. |
|
Judging by the white, physically able, knuckleheads in my little part of Philly; they're much more concerned about getting their disablilty checks and scoring ghost positions at construction sites. Oh, and hanging out in front of the local bar on the corner (starting at 11 AM) than they are about Hillary or Obama.
I walk past the bar everyday on my way to work and I haven't heard a single peep out of any of them about the election.
No doubt, the union bosses will be out to gather them up before they get too wasted and shuffle them off three blocks away to vote, but they're marching orders are to vote for John Dougherty above all. Vince Fumo is out, we need another good Democratic crook in there to keep the good times rolling.
Neither Barack or Hillary promised to keep the welfare checks coming. Although, if either one of them can quickly get an ad on TV saying they only drink Miller Lite, that could really change things.
I'm thinking a lot of folks here won't even bother to vote, so whichever side has the most fanatic supporters will win in Philly.
In my neighborhood, I have not seen one Hillary sign the entire time. The Obamaites are everywhere.
