Lowering the Bar by the Minute!

The guy on Chris Matthews, don't know his name right now, said that a six or seven percent win by Clinton would be a big win!

Unbelievable!

This when nothing short of twenty points will ressucitate her doomed hopes.

4. Yep, didn't recognize him... never saw his face.

'So long as Clinton wins a vote in PA, she's a shoo-in for the Presidency!'

Ridiculous.

6. Look at the big picture...

Seriously I will give you a hint... look at the big drama the "oh noes!!11!!" headlines of yesterday & today. Think about the chosen words. Don't take what is spun here, take the words that were used and understand why... Now think across the aisle what support do those words fetch you? When you have those thinking you are viable and now a big option for them you just got a lot of support. You have a real case now. It's all a set-up.

12. That's a bit cryptic... but if I read you right...

She's being set up to win and the machines are on her side. Close?

7. That tells you right there Clinton's internal polling shows a very close race.

If Rendell is is lowering the bar to 6-7 points, after he's been talking a 10+ point margin for weeks, it shows you they're worried!

15. Oh... Brilliant!

You are quite right.

Hell, I'd take Rendell's words and make an OP out of that notion... that oughta put the screws to some delusions.

If you don't want to or can't, I will.

9. Hillary, at the beginning of the campaign, set the bar so high that a gold medalist.................

pole vaulter would have a tough time clearing it. She has gradually moved it down and it now resembles a limbo poll.

Chuckie-poo said the Clintons will have something to say about all the "heavily weighted" districts:puke:
