much better. Had to pour a martini after I saw the post about O having lost by "significant" margins. And it was only 4:30PM!
I absolutely hate it when people trash the messenger - instead of commenting on the message. Happens all the time here. I think Drudge has had some problems but all in all, in my experience, he gets the scoop most of the time.
gobama!
After crunching all the poll numbers - I predicted a 6 pt win for Hillary. Hope these numbers hold up !!

16. No she doesn't. A win is a win is a win. MORE democrats have voted for Hillary. |
|
she's going for the popular vote, and she'll get it. They may not want to seat delegates from Mich and Florida, but I promise you, their popular votes will indeed count.

I seem to recall that everyone is allowed to vote in the general, and Hillary's plummeting numbers among independents speaks volumes about her electability.

but If those numbers are true; even with Florida and Michigan seated she will not by any stretch of the imagination get the popular vote.

Horses are powerful. Even today, engine strength is rated in comparison to horses (250 Horse Power, etc). Also, wild animals are untamed, difficult to control, etc. Therefore, a "wild horse" is a measure of power that is difficult to control.
When you say something like "Wild horses couldn't tear me away from (X)" you are saying that you can try to get me to do (X), but you will fail.

57. me 2. It's like this GIANT elephant in the room (she can't win) and |
|
she effectively controlled the press about her withdrawal (remember the outrage when Leahy said get out?) The press wants this to go on - it's huge, huge ratings for them.. But, when does their personal feelings enter in? Polls do show most are liberal and vote dem - so when do they say, "ok, shit, I don't want mcCain to win>"?

Drudge, NRO report BIG Obama numbers -- actual vote count goes well for Clinton -- us Dems mired in a huge vote count fight for another 2 weeks for more.

They also had Kerry down only 1 in North Carolina in the 2004 general election.

31. My point is about the unreliability of exits in general |
|
The Super Tuesday Obama landslide exit polls were from NRO, which had him winning Mass. I don't remember where the Ohio one was from. I remember the Kerry landslide ones were on Drudge in 2004.

37. Who is NRO? What's really sad is that having polls was the only |
|
benchmark we could count on - a way to kind of doublecheck results. I think it's really bad that polls lately have been so far off. It makes me think something's amiss. What better way for an election fraud to legitimize phony results when there is nothing to "balance" back to.

You are right and that is concerning. After all, exit polls were used to prove fraud in the Ukraine a few years ago. What check do we have on fraud here? :scared:

46. No. But I do advocate discussion and analysis of everything |
|
out there - regardless of authorship. Believe it or not, there are some brilliant, savvy strategists on the repuke side that we can learn from. (hence many of their victories over Dems) Naturally, we don't agree with their ideology - but can learn from their political strategy savvy - as opposition research.
Instead, 90% trash the messenger and won't intellectually discuss the message - no matter how abhorrent it is.

But you just assume that all is puppies, kittens, and roses. Sorry Laura, but your wrong in re SOP and DU.
Thanks for trying to save me time... I am in end stage of life as a result of Lupus, and since the time I have left on earth is measured by weeks now, by golly, I sure do appreciate your kind post.
And thanks for this laugh:
"Instead, 90% trash the messenger and won't intellectually discuss the message - no matter how abhorrent it is."
Try practicing what you preach much?
And it only took me 8 minutes to write this... yeah, sweet! Thanks for helping me to spend what precious time I have left on your bs.
