Did Hillary PEAK to soon?

Just a question as some polling data show the race might be tighting just a little.but not much and we still have December to go

a wittiness to the "foreplay".

Wanna see what I got from the Great Pumpkin?

n/t

It's time to turn the page hildogs.

Sounds insulting to those who support her.

Welcome to DU. MKJ

I guess that does come off as a red flag. A brief history of my voting record.

'96 Perot (I was young)
'00 Gore (Sigh)
Primary '04 Dean
'04 Kerry

Though my two favorite elections were for my city's mayor in '01 and again in '05. My candidate actually won.

Though I have to admit, the thought of Bill being the first First Gentleman of the United States warms my heart.

Whoa! FGotUS!!!

Hence the word "Hildog."

Thought ppl would pick up on that. A funny jab is all.

I'm nearly all in for Obama. Though I'd certainly vote for Hildog if she gets the nomination unless there's a weird third party Gore/(Paul/Obama/Dean) ticket.

Just keep on keeping on.

maybe you should reconsider strolling into DU set on ugly. I'm not a Clinton supporter, but I don't like your kind of crap, and I'll call you on it when I see it.

and when did she drop it?

Remind me to stay away from that batch... :scared:

*cheers*

The current primary setup seems rigged to produce a disastrous outcome like a Hillary candidacy. She's going to need a major stumble or two between now and January.

she plateaued.

her initial support was strong and has diminished some but I have never seen a peak moment yet and dont know that we will see one.

I predict that Iowa and NH will be unpredictable.

The problem is that Hillary, the MSM, and even the Rethugs tried to make her victory seem inevitiable. It culminated in the favoritism she got from CNN at the Nevada debate. In the resulting backlash, people are beginning to noticed as she's as mortal as the other candidates are, that's all.

:headbang:
rocknation

it`s going to be a much better race to the finish

That way some of the others can be the front runner and you Hillary-haters can shut the fuck up already.

The idea of calling those who disagree "haters" is very Bush-like. After all, in the lead-up to the Iran War, anyone who didn't support Bush were called Bush "haters".

But here we have a front runner, whose supporters must be so worried that they call anyone else a "hater". Not exactly the type of rhetoric one would expect from someone confident of winning....

Just sayin'

We won't have to listen to the other candidates whining about being picked on when they are in front!

"Peak"?

and with Oprah Winfrey waiting in the wings to be cue'd, for Iowa and New Hampshire Obama's campaign planning is quite exceptional.

after having an unplanned-for and unexpected two months or so in the lead in the Iowa polls, Hillary's recent return there to 2nd (or even 3rd) place, a month and a half before the caucuses, is pretty good timing. Better now than around Christmas, a week before, causing other people to bloviate about Big Mo and whatnot. She can lose and will still be the favorite to go ahead and win this thing. This might actually help her - this might encourage the ingenue and the desperate adventurer (the "not black enough" man named Hussein and Mr. Twenty-Eight-Thousand-Square-Feet) to start whaling on each other, rather than sniping at Our Girl.

Iowa was never part of the narrative. Oh She will fight for it, and if She wins it, it puts an end to the nominating process on the day of the first vote. Iowa would just be the cherry on top of the Sundae of Inevitability. We can do without the cherry.

Booyah!

that one of the top runners isn't really making a serious play for the first primary of the season? And that not winning will help?

Just....WoW. :wow:

"...the filtering of information that conflicts with what one already believes, in an effort to ignore that information and reinforce one's beliefs."

in late November. You get the Thanksgiving family talk without the negative, after that you have four weeks and basically a down time until the Iowa caucus. Then a strong January is needed for Feb. 5 and BAM, you have derailed the self proclaimed best organization in history.

Obama let Edwards go after Hillary to Edwards' own demise. The real battle in Iowa and New Hampshire was always between Edwards and Obama because Hillary has been pretty much a shoo-in for the top two. That's where Edwards went off track in going after her. It hurt her some and it left him looking like he was continually attacking her. Obama's gains clearly match the losses from Edwards. Clinton remains about where she was.

I think that Edwards opting for Federal Matching Funds was a real loser with a lot of primary voters because it would leave him vulnerable to GOP attacks in ads between the primaries and the convention when he would get new funds. It was one of the ways that Bill Clinton destroyed Bob Dole back in 1996.

I've wondered if Obama's camp was behind the push polling against Edwards because it would benefit him the most. There's no proof, but again, the race was between the two men to be in the top two with Hillary. It may be too late now for Edwards.

Oh yeah, she's peaked too soon.

Yes, she peaked too soon and the front runner never wins.

No, Obama and/or Edwards are peaking too soon and Hillary will be able to adjust.

I've seen enough of her for a life time!!!


Hillary is more of the same with her tactics!

Get it? Hill! Peaked! *mmph*

:rofl: :sarcasm:

Yes I am ashamed. :+

Happy Thanksgiving all.

From the media coverage to date, I would say she doesn't have anything to worry about. A republican probably wont win because the sheeple are angry about the shape of our country and need someone with the letter D to continue the course, that way all of the sheeple feel everything will be okay, I mean, only republicans are corrupt, all of our beloved democrats are pure and in office to serve us the people not the corporations, powerful and wealthy. :sarcasm:
