Title: TX and OH Dem Primary Thread (renamed from "latest survey USA polls")
Post by: Wretched Excess on March 03, 2008, 08:29:23 PM
TX: Obama 49, Clinton 48 (http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=d7698664-137f-46f0-ba92-32aea473d72e)

OH: Clinton 54, Obama 44 (http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=96160e3e-e0bc-44cb-8273-28a16edbf219)

interesting.  I just read a blurb (wasn't really attributed, so I don't have a link) from an allegedly knowledgeable source that says the reason the polls were screwed up in california is that major polling organizations don't do spanish language polling, and what happened in CA is about to happen again in TX;  hillary will do much better in the primary than the polls would indicate.  that silly split primary/caucus thing will still probably cost her the state, though.

watch cuyahoga county come in after all the other precincts are in, erase hillary's lead, and give the state to The BarackStar!  something like what happened in st. louis and StL county.

My son went back for the caucus thing at his polling place.  He said their were about ten people there for Obama and about one hundred their for Clinton.  I guess it really all depends on where one lives.

I am truly beginning to believe Barack Ralph Obama will be easier to beat than Hillary Diane Clinton.   Clinton knows how to float in the public eye without becoming overexposed.  Obama is already becoming a victim of overexposure.  By August, Obama should have earned just about everyones disgust.  Just to see him will be to puke.

howard dean should have seen this coming when he took their delegates away.  and it's not my fault that the florida dems can't get their act together. :whatever: :-)

I thought not too long ago that the longer hillary stayed in the race, the worse it would be for us in november, because he would continue to give these incredible speeches on national television on every primary night and thus create more obamazombies . . . but I think Undie's theory on overexposure may really be spot on.  this guy is just boring me tonight.

there are several hundred superdelegates;  the will make the difference, even if they split.

Dang.  I was hoping for some mathematical stalemate that would prevent either candidate from getting the minimum amount of delegates required to be their Party's candidate. 

it is doubtful that either candidate will get the requisite number of delegates during the primaries;  at that point, it is up to the decidedly UNdemocratic process of buying off superdelegates in order to win the nomination.
