Ras. poll shows Obama beating McCain in CO, IA, MI, MN, NV, NH, OR, PA, and WI

while Hillary loses to McCain in all those states. He ALSO does better against McCain than Hillary in NM, OH, SD, and VA: http://rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/election_2008_presidential_race_state_by_state_snapshot

I'm not seeing it.

:hi:

I think those guys are about as inaccurate as they come. Of course, when the news favors one's own favorite, there's a desire to "believe" even if they have a shitty track record. From their April reports four years ago:

Rasmussen Reports’ daily tracking poll finds Kerry with his biggest lead over President Bush since Kerry became the Democratic frontrunner:

Bush 42%
Kerry 48%
Other 5%
Not Sure 5%

Today’s result represents a nine-point net gain for Kerry since April 1. Rasmussen attributes the Kerry gain to the trouble in Iraq which is offsetting the good economic news.

They're a GOP outfit. If they say it, it's probably untrue or skewed in such a way to benefit GOP candidates.

That was BEFORE the Swiftboating kicked in full bore, before the sing-song Fliiiiip-Flooooooooooop was heard everywhere. I'm not convinced he blew Ohio either, but the point is, if you listened to the pollsters and pundits around this time four years ago, he was gonna sail over the finish line without breaking a sweat.

Kerry was touted as "cruising to victory" and all ready to "report for duty." The crowing here ahead of the event was something, too, and anyone who piped up and said "Er, don't count those chickens, there's still work to do" was told, in classic DU fashion, that they were a freeper and needed to STFU.

It's all just a little bit of history repeating....

We get nowhere without work. No matter who ends up with the nom, this is going to be a HARD slog, one that a combined ticket might make slightly easier, but wouldn't assure.

Assumptions at this stage are simply foolish and premature, is all I'm saying.

They'll recalibrate after BO gets the nom....OOOPS, we were a bit "off" weren't we?

They're ALWAYS wrong, right up until the end, and then VOILA! They pull out their "real" data and "claim victory" based on it.

... so McCain can win in Nov... and they can get schadenfreude over watching Hill eat shit. (The true Repuke wet dream).

Laura Ingraham was on Faux bragging about it.

I guess there are no working class whites in Colorado, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Much to Hillary's supporters' dismay.

61% - hang your hat on that - it sounds more impressive - but don't mention Dem voter registration in this GOP state.

"upset" and FAILED. :rofl:

lol

Shit, I grew up in Michigan in a family full of Indie/Dem, gun-toting white males and this is what I've been saying would happen all along.

The Midwestern way of thinking is simply not conducive to a Clinton victory versus McCain.

The fact that he whooped her in WHYOMING today, CHENEY Country, says it all.

I expect that freeze she supposedly put on them on Tuesday will be melting shortly.

state by state polls are quite different - Raz gives no sources or dates -

superdelegates flowing his way.

Right?

I wonder how all the people who caucused for her feel when she disses caucuses after each loss!

he has become in order to please the Repub. base! Strict constructionist judges? I don't think Indies and Dems. will be voting for him when Nov. comes around!

kitchen sink strategy is not only kneecapping Obama, but shes also kneecapping herself! Just last week she was 6 pts ahead of McCain. This negative shit has really got to stop or we will lose the whitehouse no matter WHO it is.

Oops-I guess it's TWO whole points. It means nothing. MOE.

You got that backwards.
From polster.com:

See my (so far) three part journal "The Press v. Hillary Clinton". They can not cram any more attack ads into the week than have been launching at her already and she is still ahead of old "I spent Vietnam in a box so you owe me".

The woman has been vetted forward and back.

She's being asked to disclose her tax returns and documents showing what she did as first lady, etc.

Not a chance.

But if she DOESN'T stop harming our party, yes, she SHOULD drop out (even though I don't know how you got that out of my post).
