[mystieus]

The streams are merging.

[Selatius]

1. Is it a Pennsylvania bounce? Or a more long-term trend?

[mystieus]

2. Not sure.

The Rasmussen poll hasn't budged all week. These two tracking polls don't always move in step, but they usually come together every few days. I'm thinking it will stabilize, but who knows.

[lapfog_1]

3. Negative slime works, at least for a few days.

The difference between them is 10 points with Obama leading.

Occasionally, Hillary throws slime at Obama and narrows the gap... then it widens again.

First was the Wright stuff, next was the WU/bitter stuff.

But once it widens again (and it will), they will have to come up with another bullshit scandal to close again. But they are running out of time.

[MattNC]

4. Two weekends in a row

this has happened.

[mystieus]

20. yup

[scheming daemons]

5. She does better near the weekends... he does better the rest of the week.....

Watch tomorrow's.


Young people are busy on Friday's.... old retired farts are at home to answer their phones.

[QC]

6. "old retired farts" are also much inclined toward voting.

The kool kiddies, not so much, as much as we would all like to see that change.

It's probably not a good electoral strategy to insult old people.

[rodeodance]

7. --insulting older people ---that is so the theme of so many Obama folk!!

.......Young people are busy on Friday's.... old retired farts are at home to answer their phones.

[TahitiNut]

11. As an "old retired fart" myself, I find that epithet quite offensive.

Perhaps you want to do society a favor and prevent yourself from ever BECOMING an "old retired fart"???

Yeah. Right. :eyes:

[scheming daemons]

14. The baby boomer generation has done more harm to this nation than any other.. time to move past them

Not to mention the fact that they gave us Dubya.

[QC]

15. Obama is a boomer.

But he's an exception, of course.

[JoFerret]

24. True

.

[Adelante]

16. Knock it off

Show some respect to boomers who support Obama, at least. It's ridiculous to alienate voters. It hurts our own candidate.

[TahitiNut]

18. You have your head up your biased, ageist ass.

:shrug:

[JoFerret]

25. What a totally foolish pov

Any such generalizations are totally foolish.

[Ronnie]

13. Charming.

[Straight Shooter]

17. No, young people are out getting drunk and looking to get laid by anyone who'll have them.

Or they're too stoned out of their minds to even remember what a phone is, much less how to answer it.

See how that silly game works? :eyes:

[cliffordu]

22. Yeah, bluehairs are all sleeping off friday night bingo....

[GoesTo11]

8. Even the rest of the way would mean Obama wins

[Ice-9]

9. "Don't cross the streams!!!"

"Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light."

This is HUGH!!!!11

:scared:

[Life Long Dem]

10. Obama can go as low as ?? in the remaining states to still win this.

I think Obama will still take the nomination if he is in the mid 30's (35%) to Clinton's mid 60's (65%)- I don't know if somebody did the math of what Obama can get away with as far as what he ONLY needs - because Clinton needs 70% in the remaining primary states. So all Obama needs to really do is coast on home to victory! :patriot:

[Cali_Democrat]

12. The good news is that Obama gets 47% so he only dropped 1 point

The bad news is that same amount of people buy Clinton's bullshit.

[SoCalDem]

19. meaningless.. she cannot catch him on delegates, money or "new voters"

and she's a bad manager..

[groovytang]

21. She can catch him in PV

Obama has a 70% chance of losing the nom.

[SoCalDem]

23. Alex... Clue for $400 please

for our new friend:)
