21. Hi Austin. I'm in Waco. THANKS for posting. I feel so
Edited on Tue Apr-22-08 05:38 PM by Laura PackYourBags
much better. Had to pour a martini after I saw the post about
O having lost by "significant" margins. And it was only 4:30PM!

I absolutely hate it when people trash the messenger -
instead of commenting on the message. Happens all the time
here. I think Drudge has had some problems but all in
all, in my experience, he gets the scoop most of the time.

gobama!

After crunching all the poll numbers - I predicted a 6
pt win for Hillary. Hope these numbers hold up !!

2. a 4 point win? She needs something in the 20 range. I agree, not looking good for Hillary.

16. No she doesn't. A win is a win is a win. MORE democrats have voted for Hillary.
she's going for the popular vote, and she'll get it. They may not want to seat delegates from Mich and Florida, but I promise you, their popular votes will indeed count.

38. Why only Democrats?
I seem to recall that everyone is allowed to vote in the general, and Hillary's plummeting numbers among independents speaks volumes about her electability.

58. I am really sorry for your loss
but If those numbers are true; even with Florida and Michigan seated she will not by any stretch of the imagination get the popular vote.

12. Wild Horses...
Horses are powerful. Even today, engine strength is rated in comparison to horses (250 Horse Power, etc). Also, wild animals are untamed, difficult to control, etc. Therefore, a "wild horse" is a measure of power that is difficult to control.

When you say something like "Wild horses couldn't tear me away from (X)" you are saying that you can try to get me to do (X), but you will fail.

Which makes all kinds of sense.

23. 'wild horses'
Actually, I think the phrase started with Catherine the Great of Russia, who required quite a bit to become motivated and inspred.

57. me 2. It's like this GIANT elephant in the room (she can't win) and
she effectively controlled the press about her withdrawal (remember the outrage when
Leahy said get out?) The press wants this to go on - it's huge, huge ratings
for them.. But, when does their personal feelings enter in? Polls do show most
are liberal and vote dem - so when do they say, "ok, shit, I don't want mcCain
to win>"?

believing an eight point win in one state can vault her to the top.

13. He's probably trying to get us Dems in a vote count fight.
Drudge, NRO report BIG Obama numbers -- actual vote count goes well for Clinton -- us Dems mired in a huge vote count fight for another 2 weeks for more.

19. These same exit polls had Obama winning Mass. and Obama down only 3 in Ohio
They also had Kerry down only 1 in North Carolina in the 2004 general election.

31. My point is about the unreliability of exits in general
The Super Tuesday Obama landslide exit polls were from NRO, which had him winning Mass. I don't remember where the Ohio one was from. I remember the Kerry landslide ones were on Drudge in 2004.

37. Who is NRO? What's really sad is that having polls was the only
benchmark we could count on - a way to kind of doublecheck results. I think
it's really bad that polls lately have been so far off. It makes me think
something's amiss. What better way for an election fraud to legitimize
phony results when there is nothing to "balance" back to.

39. The right-wing National Review's blog had the Obama landslide ST polls
You are right and that is concerning. After all, exit polls were used to prove fraud in the Ukraine a few years ago. What check do we have on fraud here? :scared:

Since you clearly want to hear what "EVERYONE" says.

46. No. But I do advocate discussion and analysis of everything
out there - regardless of authorship. Believe it or
not, there are some brilliant, savvy strategists
on the repuke side that we can learn from. (hence
many of their victories over Dems) Naturally,
we don't agree with their ideology - but can learn
from their political strategy savvy - as opposition
research.

Instead, 90% trash the messenger and won't intellectually
discuss the message - no matter how abhorrent it is.

But you just assume that all is puppies, kittens, and roses. Sorry Laura, but your wrong in re SOP and DU.

Thanks for trying to save me time... I am in end stage of life as a result of Lupus, and since the time I have left on earth is measured by weeks now, by golly, I sure do appreciate your kind post.

And thanks for this laugh:

"Instead, 90% trash the messenger and won't intellectually
discuss the message - no matter how abhorrent it is."

Try practicing what you preach much?

And it only took me 8 minutes to write this... yeah, sweet! Thanks for helping me to spend what precious time I have left on your bs.

Meet ignore, rude thing.

Obama always does better in exit polls, but then averages about 8 points less.
