I am so damn sick of the 'He can't close the deal' arguments |
|
If he loses tonight that is. JESUS!!! He was NEVER expected to win this state! This always has been HC stronghold. Just to come close tonight is a big win, and close is 10% or less (figuring how far she was ahead recently).

Gregory is Rove's dancing partner. Scarborough and little big mouth won't ever shut up Pat. Harold is DLC and Clinton all the way.

MSNBC is all over him for that. Newsflash: working-class white people vote for Hillary. The demographics were stacked in her favor.
That and the thousands of Republicans who changed parties to vote for her.

14. Isn't it interesting that when white people don't vote for Obama it's HIS fault |
|
and when black voters don't vote for Hillary, it's THEIR fault?
You never hear any of these pundits criticize Clinton for failing to attract black voters. Yet, the fact some white voters don't vote for Obama is proof of some failing on Obama's part.

4. KO just explained it perfectly.. |
|
Using his sloped hands as visual aids. It's all about trajectory. Oh, and the fact that Hillary is already mathematically eliminated.
Joe S. is an idiot.

7. What about when he won 11 contests in a row, with double digits? |
|
Why can't Hillary "close the deal"?

8. The state score is something like 14-30, Obama. Who can't close the deal again? |

TPM has all the PA polls, even from last year, and one of them has Obama at 14%.
I don't know if the people on TV actually believe what they say, but if they do, somebody should remind them that every state is different.
When Obama wins Mississippi by 23%, what's the first thing that everybody tells us. That the demographics heavily favor Obama in MS.
But now in PA, they don't mention that the demographics heavily favor Clinton here.
That's like saying in the GE, Obama is doing so well, how come he can't win Utah.

10. He's a lot closer to "closing the deal" than she is. That's for sure. |

13. Here's Why That Argument Is Important: |
|
If Obama can't solidly thump Hillary's ass across the board in spite of these facts:
He's outspending her 3:1 The press has been trashing HC for 15 years The most vocal / influential liberals are in his camp The bulk of the leftie blogosphere has been jizzing over him
How is he going to defeat John McCain, a man who most of America admires? We all saw what happened when the NYT printed its article about McCain's emotional affair - they were booed to the rafters.

It's just impossible to peel away a bunch of those women's votes from Hillary. And we know that in the general, these votes WILL go to Obama overwhelmingly.
