BREAKING: Hillary Clinton surges into Gallup national poll lead-46 to 45

[Tropics_Dude83]

http://www.gallup.com

Gallup Daily: Clinton 46%, Obama 45%General election races remain tightUSA Election 2008 Gallup Daily Americas Northern America PRINCETON, NJ -- Gallup Poll Daily tracking shows that Hillary Clinton now receives 46% of the support of Democrats nationally, compared to 45% for Barack Obama, marking the first time Obama has not led in Gallup's daily tracking since March 18-20.

These results are based on interviewing conducted April 16-18, including two days of interviewing after the contentious Wednesday night debate in Philadelphia and the media focus that followed. Support for Hillary Clinton has been significantly higher in both of these post-debate nights of interviewing than in recent weeks. The two Democratic candidates are now engaged in intensive campaigning leading up to Tuesday's Pennsylvania primary and are under a continual and hot media spotlight, increasing the chances for change in the views of Democrats in the days ahead. (To view the complete trend since Jan. 3, 2008, click here.)

A kick for the lady who is SO going to be the democratic nominee. Rasmussen shows Obama collapsing as well.

As many of you know, I switched my support from Obama to Clinton last week because I was horrified by how many gaffes he was making.

Looks like national democrats share my opinion.

[stray cat]

1. Lets see if Hillary wins PA by 20 as expected less than a month ago

If she does I'll take it seriously.

[BeatleBoot]

2. Let it Float

To the top.

Like Buttah and Cream!

[pnorman]

56. The Scum Also Rises.

n/t

pnorman

[cliffordu]

67. I miss Hunter. I wish he was here writing about this.

[BeatleBoot]

89. Thanks for the kick!

[TankLV]

104. yep - obama is certainly scum, and now the CREAM is rising...

[Zhade]

113. It's going to be awesome when she finally accepts her loss.

Maybe then she'll stop getting caught in lies so often.

[marylanddem]

3. I wouldn't break out the champagne just yet, Dude 83

Just sayin.

[tekisui]

4. Unbelievable.

We'll see if it holds. The debate may change it, and Hillary has had some negative press the past few days.

[anonymous171]

5. She wins PA the media will focus back on her.

[ruggerson]

6. It'll be interesting to watch the media silence on this one

lol

[DemocratSinceBirth]

13. She Is The Most Reslient, Tenacious, Focused Competitor I Have Ever Seen

Win or lose, I'd like to have her next to me in a foxhole...

[anonymous171]

16. I wouldn't. She'd toss you out if it allowed her to escape.

Just like MoveOn

[ruggerson]

18. Couldn't agree with you more

[AX10]

25. Same here.

We stand with her and she is standing with us.

[cbayer]

41. Ain't that the truth, nt.

[emilyg]

51. So would I.

[Skwmom]

52. She's where she is b/c of the corporate media.

As far as being in a foxhole, I'm sure the majority of the military does not share your sentiment.

[ruggerson]

54. Yes, without the corporate media

slamming her at every turn, she would have had the nomination locked up weeks ago.

[JAbuchan08]

139. The corporate media just turned off its Hillary love for a brief period

when it became obvious that many of the actual voters did not consider her as inevitable as they did.

It's kind of like how Bush's poor poll numbers occassionally force them to conceed that he's not well liked. They really don't want to do it, but reality forces them to.

[Danger Mouse]

72. She'd stab you in the back to save herself...

without the slightest hesitation.

[musicblind]

76. IDK, in a lot of ways she seems TOO loyal at times.

Took her forever to dump Penn because of it. n/t

[Danger Mouse]

82. loyal only to those excessively loyal to her.

seems to be big on the 'what have you done for me lately?' mentality.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

95. Yep.

I find it ironic that the only time I've seen her really "fight" is when it's her own self on the line.

[greguganus]

137. If she loses, Bill better watch his back. And his front. n/t

[JoFerret]

87. This is true

Not to have her energy, competence, determination and tenacity somewhere big in in the next administration - preferably as president - will be a terrible waste.

If Obama is the nominee and if we win - do you think he will be wise enough to give her a top job so he can get stuff accomplished?

[barb162]

141. Yes she is.

:)

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. This Is Interesting

It shows the Newsweek poll is an outlier or HRC got the mother of all bumps from Wednesday's debate...

[Tropics_Dude83]

17. And here's the thing about Pennsylvania

Since she is enjoying a modest national surge right now, she will outperform in Pennsylvania. Whereas this time last week, she probably would have won PA by just 4 or 5. With her surge, I think she could win by 15.

BTW, I still adore Obama and will support him if he's the nominee, but he's not ready for primetime and he doesn't make Florida and Ohio as competitivce as they need to be. I wish I had seen this sooner about him.

[Zachstar]

21. You dont have to defend your switching you know nobody cares

[thewiseguy]

24. Obama does not need to win Ohio or Florida

As an ex Obama supporter you seem amazingly uninformed. Again I am glad you switched.

[paulk]

60. hearing this from Obama supporters

is what scares me about him. He doesn't need the swing states. He doesn't need Florida AND Ohio to win.

Some of you folks are living in an alternate reality.

[thewiseguy]

64. You are living in denial

How many times have I and others have said that Obama can win Colorado, Utah, and other such states?

Obama and Hillary do perform well in different states. Winning Florida will be a bonus for Obama. But he can win the presidency without it. Hillary cant.

[BeatleBoot]

90. You can count out

The Great Lakes State.

With Obama, there is no way Michigan will go Dem.

[Nedsdag]

106. You can count out the Badger State.

With Hillary, Wisconsin goes GOP.

[BeatleBoot]

134. Why?

http://www.270towin.com/states/Wisconsin

[paulk]

92. you think Obama can win Utah?

the only state in the union where Bush still has a positive approval rating?

and you say I'm living in denial?

[BeatleBoot]

93. Great Point.

Thsi thing was over before it started.

[AZ Criminal JD]

125. You are denial if you think Obama is going to win Utah

[Zhade]

114. We're not the ones lying about nonexistent sniper fire.

NT!

[barb162]

143. We're not the ones lying how we never heard Rev. Wright's sermons

about the government giving AIDS to black people and all the other inflammatory crap Wright spews.

[yourguide]

37. right

because national polls determine how pennsylvania voters will vote :sarcasm:

:rofl:

[DemocratSinceBirth]

38. There Is Some Correlation Between The State And Nat'l Polls

It is the same universe of voters...

She will outperform in PN, IN, KY, WV, and PR...

I still think BHO will be the nominee...

The GOPU will try to Dukasize him...

Will they be successful?

HRC is a known quality. She would eat glass to win...

[yourguide]

65. If that were the case, why didnt HRC win Iowa?

And she would eat glass to win. I think she should eat glass regardless.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

78. I Said There Was Some Correlation. I Was Not Denying There Are Regional Differences

You can relax...BHO will be the nominee...I'm a stone cold realist...Let's see what he does with it against Gramps...

[yourguide]

83. I am relaxed...I just think your local correlation to national polls

is incorrect. Rudy Guiliani, another great example of that. And John McCain.

[Nedsdag]

80. So when will he be ready for prime time?

Answer me please!

[kevinbgoode]

111. She is supposed to win Pennsylvania by 20. . .

15 won't be outperforming anything. It is more like partial recovery.

[Hepburn]

8. This is a surge?

LOL...you must have learned the definition of that word from Bush!

:rofl:

[thewiseguy]

12. Dude was concerned with the number of gaffes Obama made.

Turned a blind eye on Hillary's remarks. I am glad he switched his support.

[Zachstar]

26. Hmm you know it does seem he is turning a blind eye now that I think about it.

So much for Snipergate

Screw Em gate

and MoveOn gate

eh?

[Hepburn]

Thanks for the info....

...apparently he does not research issues, but does things from his "gut."

:hi:

[anonymous171]

9. 1 point is MOE.

[AX10]

10. Did you really switch your vote?

Or is this some type of propaganda?

If you did sincerely change your vote, then I gladly welcome you aboard! :hi:

[Tropics_Dude83]

31. AK10, this is sincere

I switched because of Obama's 7 major gaffes since Super Tuesday. And the Florida and Ohio GE polls played a large role as well. Clinton can pound Mccain in Ohio and edge him in Florida. Obama will lose Florida by 15 and be in tough in Ohio.

So, the gaffes combined with Clinton's strength in FL/OH is why I've switched.

It's more important to have a democrat in the white house than anything else. She has a better chance.

BTW, I haven't switched every week. I was constantly freaking over Obama's mistakes and finally I just had enough.

I agree. She is incredibly tenacious and resillient. And that is what we need to combat the vile Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Right wing freak show in the fall.

[Zachstar]

48. Wow just wow

You could not take the heat (Thus called politics) so you switched to Clinton?

I said before that nobody cares but this takes the cake.

What about Snipergate?

WHat about Screw Em gate?

What about her statements about Moveon?

[Two Americas]

101. personalized politics

Don't assume that just because you may see this all as highly personal, that therefore others do as well. You may be projecting your own drama onto others when you say that the other poster "could not stand the heat." She (he?) is expressing reservations about a candidate, not talking about her (his?) own emotional state.

This type of thinking is pervasive in the liberal and the party activists community - the politics of personal choice, personal belief systems, personal stances - and the Obama campaign represents what may prove to be the high water mark for this trend within the party. I see it as highly destructive and very weak politics, the main reason that we have struggled to battle the right wingers effectively. Personalized politics are at their core libertarianism, and if we are going to match up our liberal libertarianism against the right wingers' libertarianism, and present that as the choice to the public, we are going to lose. We are playing their game, by their rules, and promoting and reinforcing their premises.

"Personalized politics" is an oxymoron.

[Zhade]

116. So you DON'T have a problem with clinton's proven lies.

NT!

[Two Americas]

121. begging your pardon?

I am not obsessed with either candidate, nor am I on a side in this unimaginable fracas that is going on. No one was a more outspoken critic of Senator Clinton back a few months ago when we were actually making some substantive and meaningful criticisms instead of playing gotcha while minimizing our hero's flaws and magnifying those of our imagined enemy and her evil cohorts.

I think that the caps in posts, the exclamation pints, the one liners are all indicative of extreme emotional stress, leaking out and being dumped on innocent bystanders - there is a conflict in people's minds between what they know to be the truth, and what they are hoping or "believing" will be the truth. By YELLING their hopes, they are trying to make their hopes comes true and drown out anyone speaking the uncomfortable truth. That is the most generous explanation I can come up with for people's behavior.

[BeatleBoot]

88. Amen brother.

With Obama as the nominee, Florida is lost.

Rev Wright guaranteed that.

[Zhade]

115. But you have no problem with clinton's repeated, proven lies?

Huh.

[Skwmom]

53. I vote propaganda.

[meow mix]

11. surge? lol

you "switch" your support about every week

[FlaGranny]

14. Proves that

innuendo and falseholds win over the gullible, doesn't it?

[Arrowhead2k1]

15. Shitty

If this is accurate, the Democrats are hopeless.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. The Race Is Fluid But I Expected This

I also expect BHO to get the nomination but with literally half the party backing his opponent... I have never seen such a campaign...

[jefferson_dem]

23. Hey DSB. Welcome back!

:hi:

[Zachstar]

19. Out of just 1000?

I am sorry I was happy for polls before this. Because polling just 1000 people is crap.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. The MOE Is Three Percent

I guess she could be leading by as much as four or losing by as much as three...

[Zachstar]

32. I could care less about MOE there are many millions of people in the United States.

I thought these polls were atleast talking to 10 thousand.


At 1000 luck has much to do as swings.

[PBS Poll-435]

59. Math, Probability, and Statistics ARE DEAD!

From someone who appears to be a bit of a science fan...

[AZ Criminal JD]

127. You are wrong.

Most national polling organizations will use about 1000 responses for their polls. Some do it with as little as 450-600 responses. This is standard practice by all organizations and they use statistical formulas to get their numbers. If you don't like this poll then you don't like any poll.

[K Gardner]

27. "SO going to be the nominee" ?? Pitiful.

[Nitrogenica]

28. "Surge"?? Good lord this is so misleading. Who are you trying to fool?

Sorry.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

29. Obama Is Going To Be The Nominee

"A kick for the lady who is SO going to be the democratic nominee. Rasmussen shows Obama collapsing as well.

As many of you know, I switched my support from Obama to Clinton last week because I was horrified by how many gaffes he was making.


Looks like national democrats share my opinion."

- Tropic_Dude83

Obama is going to be the nominee...His devotees better hope he improves his game...

[leeroysphitz]

30. I thought your post had to be satire.

Since you used a word like "surge" to describe a 1 percent blip on polls with ±3 % MOE!
Lol. I was going to congratulate you on your wit.

[ruggerson]

34. Uh, this doesn't look like movement to you?

[slinkerwink]

44. Ras has Obama at 2+

[ruggerson]

45. Yep

I posted it here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5578645

It also shows movement towards Clinton over the last few weeks.

[Straight Shooter]

46. Thanks for the graph, ruggerson.

"Surge" or whatever qualifier one chooses to use, that shows a trend upward. :thumbsup:

[AX10]

49. It is NOT a surge, but is a trend.

"Slow and steady wins the race"

[Straight Shooter]

61. Just wanted to deflect the attacks on the OP because of use of the word "surge"

I prefer the tortoise, too. :hi:

[Bjorn Against]

75. Slow and steady does not win the race when you are this far behind...

The finish line is not far ahead and Obama has a big enough lead that it would take a sudden and massive shift for Hillary to win, a shift so large as to be impossible to accomplish. Slow and steady can not win this race for Hillary, she has already lost.

[grasswire]

47. she's definitely got the big mo

It must be gratifying, but also it's just the beginning of the bad stuff. Obama is going to have to turn up the heat, but she shines then.

[PBS Poll-435]

55. My Prediction Made Thursday...

So Far...So Good!

:hide:

[AX10]

63. ROFL

:thumbsup:
:hi:

[SaveOurDemocracy]

136. LOLLLLLLL ... now, THAT would be fun!

:toast:

[leeroysphitz]

66. Yes. It's sort of peaceful. like the movements of ocean waves.

Gently up and down, up and down...

Here is your movement since March:


This is what a SURGE would look like:

Which one more resembles your graph?

Sorry. I don't have a dog in this fight. I just thought the use of the word surge was really funny.

Thank you.

[Tropics_Dude83]

68. Down by 11 on Monday-up by 1 on Saturday

That is a massive move.

Remember what happened after the Bush V. Kerry 1st debate when Bush looked like a fool? Kerry surged into the lead and nearly won. Reemmber what happened after the 1st Bush V. Gore debate? Gore blew it and Bush eliminated Al Gore's double digit national lead that existed before it.

Debates matter. We can't have Obama turning in a debate performance against Mccain like that in the fall.

Another reason I support HRC now. It's all about electability.

[iamthebandfanman]

33. thats funny cause

i switched from not voting to voting for Obama because of ugly politics Mrs Clinton is doing.

looks like we cancelled each other out, eh ?

[thewiseguy]

35. Were you also concerned about the polls as this dude was? lol

[Zhade]

118. That's where I ended up, too.

NT!

[Armstead]

36. Please explain all of Obama's "gaffes"?

You mean his choice of a church 20 years ago, and his loyalty to his congregation?

or perhaps it was making an almost universally praised (including by non-supporters) speech that elevated the discussioin of race?

Or saying something to a group of supporters in a private meeting which all Democrats actually agree with -- including Hillary?

Maybe it was not boycotting a debate that was stacked against him. Although it wasn't his best performance, I didn't notice any "gaffes."

Maybe it was calling the moderators out on their stupid questions? Oh wait, Hillary has been whining about the media for the past year...

[ruggerson]

39. Tropics Dude

glad you are supporting Hillary. I still think Obama is going to be the nominee, as I think the press is biased in favor of Republicans, and have been determined for months to try to sink Clinton. The press simply does not want another Clinton in the WH, because the Clintons don't kowtow to them. I think we will see a lot of movement to Clinton, but I also think it's a little too late in the game. I will support Obama, as I know you will, if he is our nominee, but I know which one of the two has a better chance of beating McCain. Her initials are HRC.

[slinkerwink]

40. Tropics, you've never been for Obama.

[thewiseguy]

42. He was but would freak out everytime a punch came Obama's way

[anonymous171]

107. lol I remember his frantic ramblings after the Wright "scandal" broke.

They make me laugh now.

[ruggerson]

43. Of course he was

that's a pretty unfortunate thing to write.

[AZBlue]

131. He wasn't. He uses the same line in every post.

[Leopolds Ghost]

85. It's called concern trolling

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

It's his right to pretend to ascribe to any position he wants.

[cbayer]

50. I wouldn't call it a surge, but there are some significant things to note.

This is the first time Clinton has led Obama since mid-March.
There appears to a clear trend over the past five days.

This remains an extremely close race.

on edit: I want to point out that the relatively small sample size of 1,241 is still larger than the oft quoted Newsweek poll sample size.

[TheDonkey]

62. Yes, it is a trend in this poll that Obama should take note of

this is not good news for us. I'm confident Obama can turn it around. I'm surprised why he would be trending down though.

[JackORoses]

57. Hello There, Chicken Little!

Why do you pretend that you were ever an Obama supporter?
You have been obvious for the longest time.

[stillcool]

58. oh dear...collapsing?

[stevenleser]

69. Two words: #1 - Outlier. #2 - *PLONK*!!!!

[PBS Poll-435]

71. Kick for an obvious trend....

[SoCalDem]

70. Surging all the way from 48 to 46.. WOWeeeee

:rofl:

[AZ Criminal JD]

126. Math is not your stong point. Try again.

She went from 44 to 46. And that is better than dropping 3 points like Obama did.

[SoCalDem]

129. Nov 07.. she was polling at 48 % in PA

My math is fine :)

[AZ Criminal JD]

144. You had to go back to Nov 2007 for that? LOL

[SoCalDem]

145. She's rarely been ABOVE 48%... that was my point..

48 is about IT..and Nov 07 was also when Obama was sitting at 15%... M O M E N T U M ... it's about moving UP....He has it..


She is Stasis.. He is Momentum


Definitions of stasis:

* noun: inactivity resulting from a static balance between opposing forces

[NorthCarolina]

73. So her nationwide Positive Polling is 46% and her nationwide Negative polling is 61%

that's 107% right there, and then add in the undecideds...

Somehow I'm not too sure about the validity of this poll. True or not, it's unbelievably good timing for Hillary though coming the weekend before the PA primary. Good thing it wasn't out on Thurs or Friday because I think it probably would have been debunked by now.

[blm]

74. Sure, Tropics Dude - because Hillary has been gaffe-free. LOLOL.

.

[Nedsdag]

77. Not this national democrat.

If Clinton wins, McCain wins. Enough said.

[rhombus]

79. You're going to get severe migraines if you hitch your wagon to Daily tracking polls

Not worth the hassle.

[ORDem]

105. Especially ones that don't count for anything. The primary is in PA, not nationwide. nt

:eyes:

[GoesTo11]

81. Looks like statistically significant movement

over the last 4 or 5 days. Bittergate combined with the ABC-bate might have hurt Obama a bit.

I haven't gotten the sense of any kind of collapse, though. This kind of thing tends to dissipate and then the cumulative effect of all the stuff to this point averages together. This trend makes it less likely that Obama will score an upset in PA. One previous poster suggested she'll win by 15 instead of 5. Who knows, but likely better than Obama's most optimistic recent state polls. On the other hand, it would take a real collapse, not just a convergence to 50-50 for Clinton to win the nomination.

[Leopolds Ghost]

84. Tropics_Dude, you are fascinating. I remember wondering at your early "pro-Obama" posts

Looks like you have finally come home to the candidate of your choice.

[cottonseed]

86. If Obama needs to go Kitchen Sink

That includes manufacturing controversies, lies, and pushing them with Rovian tactics (think cable news talking heads Blackberries blowing up) then I won't doubt you'll see the Gaffe count even up between Clinton and Obama. This is the Nuclear Option I'd been dreading during this primary. Clinton tears down Obama's character in a general election type campaign, forcing Obama to do the same in return. Basically, mutually assured destruction.

What's the limit on the draft age again?

[Crooked Moon]

91. favorability slippin' too

interesting that in three polls on favorability conducted in april (newsweek, abc/wapo and cbs/NYT), obama's favorability slipping after a previous steady climb in a all of them.

http://pollingreport.com/o.htm

[thoughtcrime1984]

94. You were for Obama last I saw, you must be bi-polar

And to put much credence in polls can be very dangerous. I don't think most national Democrats share your opinion.

[City Lights]

96. Your opinion changes like the weather. nt

[MercutioATC]

97. Forget the "surge" issue...this poll, by nature, means exactly nothing.

It's a national poll of Democrats. Except in the 10 remaining primaries, Democrats nationally have already voted.

Who cares how somebody in Ohio, or New York, or California polls at this point? The decisions have already been made in those states.

How does this poll mean anything at all?

[symbolman]

98. Gee, "Neck and neck" as reported by The Media and Their ratings SURGE

Y'know, when I was a younger man there used to be blowouts all the time, and LONG before primaries or election days came upon us.. Has no one noticed that in the last 30 years or so IT'S always become a "horserace" "neck and neck" "down to the wire"?

Then suddenly, when it could have mysteriously gone "either way" the RIGHT WINGER WINS...

Keeps happening over and over. We're being scammed, first by the media, who set it up in the echo chamber, quoting each other, and then by guys like ROVE, or in this case, The Cackler..

Don't get your hopes up, the Presidents are now Installed.

[pnwmom]

99. This is NOT a lead, it's a statistical tie.

And since this poll is based on statistics, that makes it a TIE. Period.

[McCamy Taylor]

100. Now we know that the Newsweek poll was fos

[TLM]

102. Do the hillary supporters not notice at all that they've....

gone from declaring a 20 to 30 point victory over obama in PA was a certainty.... to now hooting and cheering over her numbers rising to a MOE tie nationally?


She was 30 points ahead in pa.... she's lost almost all of that, and you're excited that she gained one or two points nationally?

That's Vegas logic.


And let me tell you, as someone who lived in PA and who knows people in PA... obama is doing very well thanks to hillary's spin on the whole bitter comment being so transparently BS. It hardly touched Obama, and made way more people see her as dishonest and untrustworthy.

[ruggerson]

110. Nobody but Obama supporters keep mentioning a point lead

Races always close as the primary day gets closer. 20 points was an illusion which was before either candidate started seriously campaigning in the state. I think if she pulls it off by 5-10 points, considering the media is behind Obama and he has outspent her here 3 to 1, it will be remarkable.

[Sensitivity]

124. Truth is SMEAR TACTICS WORK -- especially when fed trougth the MSM in PRIME TIME

Any democratic nominee will a little integrity will have to worry about this.
The republicans have not scruples about the SCARE AND SMEAR approach and Hillary has adopted that aproach whole hog.


Question is: what are we going to do about it?

[TankLV]

103. Just like we've been saying - obama is TOAST - he screwed the pooch BIGTIME...

all but his campaign staff around the country and here see it...

[bluestateguy]

108. No, it's a dead heat

Does anybody even mention margin of error anymore.

[Garbo 2004]

109. But what does the lady in the hall say? n/t

[Zhade]

112. You SO wish she's going to be the nominee, but she won't.

We'll be sure to remind you of your failed prediction when she finally accepts her loss.

[Toucano]

117. The surge is working? n-t

[biggerfishsmallpond]

119. Math still applies

if you listen closely you can hear the sweet sound of inevitability

[dailykoff]

120. You switched huh.

Right.

[BlueIdaho]

122. Surges hee hee hee hee the dude said Surges... funny. nt.

[Imagevision]

123. Hillary surges poll lead-46 to 45? yeah right, buh-bye Billary...

[adoraz]

128. oh shit

a 1% MoE lead... what could Obama do to overcome this?

I think its pretty obvious he should just drop out now.

[AZBlue]

130. As many of you know, TROPICS_DUDE HAS BEEN A CLINTON SUPPORTER ALL ALONG. Don't fall for the BS.

Just research any of his posts - he always claims to have ]i]just swtiched from Obama to Clinton, but that's just a tactic (lie) that he uses to appear genuine. Don't fall for it.

[madrchsod]

132. the bar is filling up and the band is about to start

[ElsewheresDaughter]

133. RISE HILLARY RISE!

[msallied]

135. DANCE MONKEYS DANCE!! bahahahaha

You Hill supporters will grasp at anything. You don't even realize that the effing race is over. You should have prayed for such a "surge" in February, when it would have mattered.

[greguganus]

138. Like frogs on a slow boil. I kinda feel sorry for them. n/t

[barb162]

140. Very good news! Hillary for President!

[undeterred]

142. One point is a 'surge'? She is so much like Bush.

[Garbo 2004]

146. oops. Obama "surges" back into Gallup national poll lead- 47-45.

(And still within MOE.) http://www.gallup.com/poll/106609/Gallup-Daily-Obama-Holds-Slight-47-45-Advantage.aspx

149. You were the most pathetically fickle Obama supporter out there.

At any sign of bad news, you flipped out, wrote his obituary and found a hole to crawl into. And when everything was rolling along, you were oddly silent, with scant praise as to what was happening. Then, just like clock work, another little bump and you were ready to throw Obama to the wolves. No offense, Tropics, but I'm glad you made the switch. Obama doesn't need a supporter like you, someone who can't weather the storm. You've been up and down more times than someone off their meds.

And no, I'm not suggesting you need to take your meds. But yeesh.
