the first PA poll after the most recent The BarackStar! gaffe.

it looks like all those small town PA voters have a brand new frustration, and its name is obama.
the race/gender splits are still attention getting.

Pennsylvania

Hillary Clinton leads Barack Obama 48% to 44% among men (45% of likely Democratic primary voters). Among women, Clinton leads 64% to 31%.

Clinton leads 64% to 29% among white voters (82% of likely Democratic primary voters). Obama leads 79% to 18% among African American voters (14% of likely Democratic primary voters).

Clinton leads 52% to 43% among voters age 18 to 49 (50% of likely Democratic primary voters) and Clinton leads 62% to 31% among voters age 50 and older.

is there such a thing as too much of The BarackStar!?  I mentioned the saturation
ad buy that they were planning here.
more bad news from another story about the ARG poll . . . .

Regardless, the New Hamphire-based ARG poll, may have identified a tactical worry for the Obama camp above and beyond the current controversy. Dick Bennett, head of the poll, told us today that even before the furor erupted, it appeared many Pennsylvania Democrats began to turn against Obama because they are simply sick and tired of seeing and hearing his ads.

Much as campaign consultants would be loath to agree, Bennett opined that a candidate "can spend too much money" on an ad campaign, and the saturation of Obama spots ...

in Pennsylvania appear to be a classic example of "overkill" that ultimately does harm.

Bennett also reported that some of the Pennsylvanians who his company contacted went on to complain about the substance of the ubiquitous Obama ads. They are "about him, not voters or what their concerns are," Bennett said. And Obama's comment on attitudes in small towns served to reinforce that feeling.

"Obama Overkill."  It has a nice ring to it!

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

DU posts a new poll about every thirty seconds, and each one contridicts the last.  I've seen The Magic Negro LEADING The Tragic Lesbo in PA by 13 points....and then....comin' round the backstretch, it's the Lesbo by two links.....and then a poll taken in Philly where TMN is 98% to TTL's 2%.

It's CRAZY!!!

Hey Wretched, that's what the L.A. Times claims - oversaturation:

One of my friend's mother lives in Harrisburg and says she can't wait for next Tuesday to come and go - she's voting McCain - "no damn Democrat for me!".

I hope those numbers are right.  Hillary needs to take PA in a landslide.  Get them neck and neck.   :fuelfire:
