May fool.

We've already lost 2 DUers to the "dim side" (I won't say dark side because the dark side is converting to Republican) in the past few weeks...don't want to lose you too!

what a positive campaign she's running or were they moles?

They decided that Obama was unelectable.

do they know.

I was just about to go skittles on you.

The Clinton camp says it's come back from a 20-point Deficit in North Carolina.

In fact, only 5 polls out of 41 since Super Tuesday gave Obama a 20-plus margin, and 4 of those were from the same polling company (PPP). In reality, Obama's highest margin as shown by the AVERAGE of all polls was in fact approximately 15-16%. Once again this was mainly a product of the five PPP polls which are somewhat suspect as being outliers.

In reality, PPP is about 3.3% higher than the average of all the other polls from Super Tuesday till now.

But if you average all the polls from March 24 to April 22 (the period where PPP showed the highest winning margin for Obama that the Clinton camp is now using as their benchmark), you'll see that PPP showed him winning by about 21 points while ALL THE OTHERS showed him winning by only 12 points in that same time period.

This is a whopping 9-point difference.

So, even including PPP, Obama's greatest margin was really about 15-16%, but if you were to remove this polling company which often is at odds with the rest, the remaining polls had Obama's greatest margin at only 12% as a composite.

If you add the 3.3% difference on average between PPP and the rest over the entire time period, that still makes it a 15-16% lead and not 20%.
