Polls say (none / 0) (#11)
by Seth90212 on Thu Mar 13, 2008 at 04:06:07 AM EST
he's tied in MI which means he'll probably win by a landslide. Polls say he's down big in FL which means he'll probably lose by less than 10%.

well no, polls do not say that (none / 0) (#33)
by TeresaInPa on Thu Mar 13, 2008 at 07:57:01 AM EST
but even if they did, you do not seem to be on page with what polls results mean in this election.  close means Clinton wins big.  Clinton ahead means Clinton wins bigger.  Obama ahead by a lot means Clinton comes very close.

By that reasoning (none / 0) (#108)

apparently, I missed a lot of states that Clinton won....hmmmmmmmmmm

Obama has tended to outperform polls (none / 0) (#112)

in many states,  so I do not accept your premise.

So has Clinton, so whether (none / 0) (#166)
by Cream City on Thu Mar 13, 2008 at 10:22:36 AM EST
you accept it or not, it seems moot.  I find it rather refreshing that polls are moot and that votes matter more.

I'm not sure what your point is? (none / 0) (#185)
by JoeA on Thu Mar 13, 2008 at 10:37:09 AM EST
I was responding to a comment that suggested that Hillary always outperformed the polls.  I was merely saying that this is incorrect.  I never suggested the opposite.

How many states (none / 0) (#129)
by Bob In Pacifica on Thu Mar 13, 2008 at 09:44:05 AM EST
has Clinton won with 65% of the votes? Arkansas. I'm thinking. What other states? He was down by 20 in Ohio and once he began campaigning and his people got on the ground he closed, and that's even with the Dittoheads crossing over. And Ohio is probably the worst-case scenario for Obama. If 40% vote against Clinton with no real opposition on the ballot that suggests to me that her strength in Michigan is overestimated. As for Florida, I expect a win, considering how well blacks are routinely kept off the rolls, but considering how the vote in January was suppressed by the circumstances surrounding the legitimacy of the election I don't see any 65% blowout there.

Are you accusing Democrats of keeping (none / 0) (#131)
by Florida Resident on Thu Mar 13, 2008 at 09:45:49 AM EST
blacks of the rolls too.

[ Parent ]
Or are you saying that the (none / 0) (#132)
by Florida Resident on Thu Mar 13, 2008 at 09:47:18 AM EST
problem exists only in Fl and not in Ga SC Miss NC Al ARK La should I continue?

[ Parent ]
I don't think that is what he was saying. (none / 0) (#155)

Clinton didn't win a majority in FL (none / 0) (#176)
by Blue Neponset on Thu Mar 13, 2008 at 10:29:42 AM EST
She got 49.7% of the vote.  Not-Clinton actually won in FL.  I don't think 49.7% is going to translate into a huge victory if there is a do-over in FL.
