Hillary's Lead in Double Digits?
Although Barack Obama has conceded he'll lose Pennsylvania tomorrow, he claims it's "going to be close." But Drudge is claiming Hillary Clinton's internals show her with an eleven point lead, and The Boston Globe is now claiming she's within "striking distance of the double-digit win she badly needs to build new momentum for her candidacy."

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Rendell didn't seem so optimistic this morning on MSNBC.
ReplyDeleteShe needs a 10 point win to claim momentum is on her side. I think she's going to get it. But I'm not Ed Rendell. I'm just a blogger who reads.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to the election results Tuesday evening.I read a few months ago that the people likely to be polled are Hillary supporters.I seem to remember that more Obama supporters rely on cell phones and e-mail for communucation and these are the people most likely not to be contacted by pollers
ReplyDeleteObama has consistently underperformed versus pre-election polls. His 10-point polling deficit may well be larger tomorrow night. A large PA victory for Hillary may give her the popular vote advantage over Barack. She'll have more votes, he'll have more delegates. Could be a long, hot summer.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Bernie. When push comes to shove the voters know who the best candidate is and she will win PA by double digits. His performance at the last debate certainly showed that he has no substance or details, he is a superficial candidate that talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk.
ReplyDeleteGo Hillary!!!!
Polls are like opinions and a**holes. Everyone's got one. Let's wait until everything is tabulated. Remember, we have new polling machines. Anything can happen. Don't count your chickens before their hatched.
ReplyDeleteBlie Coyote, Every day over the past 5 weeks, there has been report after report claiming that Obama's Pa. strength was increasing. Even after his poor debate performance last week, there was a poll claiming it did not matter. So I agree completely when you sat polls are unreliable.
ReplyDeleteThey're both worthless. I'm writing in Rich Grucela.
ReplyDeleteKnock it off, Wayne!
ReplyDeleteA vote for Clinton is a vote for another dynasty. Political Dynasties are a symptom of a weak democracy. It is fear that makes a populace vote for political dynasties.
ReplyDeleteAmerica is a strong and confident Democracy. America can demonstrate to the world the extent of its greatness by voting for Barak Obama.
Obama is a strong,insightful and thoughtful leader. A vote for Obama will show the world that America is truly as good as its promise. And Pennsylvania can lead the way!
Bernie regardless of the outcome tomorrow it is dsappointing to me that Obama spent so little time in Pennsylvania-in essence he gave up on us. Just imagine if he had fought hard here and won ,just think the message that would have sent . Although i offered, i was never contacted by any one from his campaign. On the other hand I was contacted 3 different times by Hillary people and invited to supprt her-the most recent at Liberty . I refused all 3 because i believe that he is the better candidate. He may not be as organized as most people think .
ReplyDeleteWhy do you keep stating Obama did poorly in the debate? Because HC attacked Obama on Wright and the bitter comment and Obama chose NOT to attack HC on petty issues like Bosnia? Obama has taken the high road. It's sad when the "winner" of the debate is who attacks the other more successfully.
ReplyDeleteOBAMA-CLINTON or CLINTON - OBAMA !!!
