It’s the day before the Oregon and Kentucky primaries, and the latest polls show Clinton closing the gap with Obama in Oregon where he no longer holds a double-digit lead, and she's headed for another blowout victory in Kentucky.
As reported by Political Intelligence (Boston Globe), “Obama leads 45 percent to 41 percent with 8 percent undecided and 6 percent refusing a response, according to a Suffolk University survey released this morning. An American Research Group survey puts Obama's lead at 50 percent to 45 percent.”
Political Intel reports that “Clinton continues to lead handily in every poll in Kentucky, which also votes Tuesday. In a Suffolk survey released today, she leads Obama 51 percent to 25 percent, followed by John Edwards with 6 percent, "uncommitted" with 5 percent, while 11 percent were undecided.”
“But,” Political Intel continues, “she {Clinton} isn't taking any chances and hopes to win big enough to cut into Obama's lead in the total popular vote, campaigning all day in the Bluegrass State. She plans her primary night rally in Louisville.”
Go, Hillary!
P.S.
Obama's rumored victory lap on Tuesday night in Iowa has apparently been cancelled although he's still planning to hold a rally there. Something must have deflated his hubris - at least temporarily.
You see, this ticks me off. Obama has lost so much popularity, and he's going to LIMP into the nomination.
ReplyDelete-Indiana-He was expected to win that easily in March, and lost by 2 points. Not to mention he outspent her 3-1, and 25 percent of the state's television is controlled by Chicago news.
-He was expected to win North Carolina by 27, and won by 14. Sure, 14 is a decent size, but he won South Carolina by about 30, Mississippi by 20, Louisiana by 27, Georgia by 35. So, 14 in an African American VOTING state isn't much, not to mention he ONLY won 36 percent of the white vote, and out spent her 2-1.
-In West Virginia, he was expected to lose big, but he even lost his CORe groups, such as younger voters, college educated, Independents, and voters looking for CHANGE.
So, have fun winning the nomination Obama, even though you have lost a tremendous amount of popularity. He'll lose to McCain because not enough Clinton supporters will vote for him in November. Her main supporters are in BIG states, such as Texas, California, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey. Not to mention West Virginia, when NO democratic president has lost WV, and won the presidency since 1916.
