CLINTON INTERNALS SHOW 11-POINT LEAD IN PA

from drudge:

Controlled excitement is building inside of Clinton's inner circle as closely guarded internal polling shows the former first lady with an 11-point lead in Pennsylvania!

Clinton is polling near to nearly 2 to 1 over Obama in many regions of the state, a top insider explained to the DRUDGE REPORT.

A strong coalition of middle-class and religious voters has all but secured a Clinton victory Tuesday, with headline-making margins, the campaign believes.

"It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of how much," a senior campaign source said Monday morning.

When pressed if the dramatic internal polling numbers could somehow be flawed in a state as demographically complex as Pennsylvania, and with new voter registration surging to unseen levels, the campaign insider held firm.

"Senator Obama would be wise not to unpack his bags quite yet."

With less than 24 hours to go until the beginning of the end of primary season voting, Obama has handedly captured Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, but has failed to dominate suburban sprawl, the campaign's polling reveals.

An 11-point victory in Pennsylvania for Clinton would expand on margins scored in Ohio.

Clinton will quickly move to feverishly focus on Indiana starting Tuesday night, hoping to somehow convince superdelegates that she not only has superior stamina but has crucial swing state appeal.

Without superdelegate intervention, Clinton still faces impossible math to nomination.

Dem voters, question: What is the liklihood of Hillary swinging the superdelegates? What is the liklihood that she will try?

It will be fun to watch. I cant imagine the superdelegates wont follow the national popular/delegate vote but...how will they view florida and michigan? how will they view hillary's wins in CA, MA, NY, NJ, OH, TX?

ap1 - obama is from chicago where the daley's asked you to vote early and often



will be fun watching the news tomorrow night

actually it was a capone quote

Entertaining, but it makes no difference.  55-44 is not nearly a big enough win for her.  She needs at least 60%+ to even begin to smile.  And she needs it everywhere from here on out.

agreed d2 - do you think the superdelegates will look at the states she's won?

she will pitch that Obama is unelectable. she cares more about power than the good of the party IMO

That's why the Democrats almost never win the White House.  They always pick unelectable candidates who care only about their personal power.  It's still amazing in a country with many more Democrats than Republicans, that the GOP keeps getting the White House.  The Democrats almost always control Congress.  If they knew how to pick a leader, they'd control the White House also.

John Kerry was a terrible candidate, although his rationale for getting nominated was that he could fare better than Dean.  Gore was not unelectable.  The story of that election is another story.  Clinton obviously was electable, twice.  Before that, Reagan was so popular that of course he and Bush I won.  Not sure I buy your theory.  But John Kerry was awful.  Obama is not John Kerry.  Hillary is the unelectable one.

Depeche,

How do you see Obama being electable? I dont care about racial issues, but America does in general.

Add that these character issues are going to get WORSE before they get better.

I think Obama gets crushed if he is the nominee, and I am not sure I would vote for him given some of his choices and views.

The country needs to improve over the last 8 yrs of digression and I dont see Obama as the person who will improve the situation, nor have the experience and skills to lead the country.

The Repubs are going to shred him...what we have seen so far is nothing..it will get worse and he will get killed come election day.

Depeche,

Clinton was the only really electable candidate they've had recently.  He's also the only one that's not way out to the left.  He was the only moderate they've had.

Gore was unelectable.  That election, despite what happened in Florida, should not have been close.  You had a sitting VP from a very popular president.  The economy looked to be amazing.  There is no way Gore should have even been in a close election.  But, he was too far out to the left.

If you notice, Republicans tend to put up moderate candidates.  Remember, George W Bush was considered a moderate and was known for crossing the aisle as governor of Texas.  And, apart from the huge differences in foreign policy, he's still more moderate than most.

People do not trust Clinton. If the argument to the supers will be that Obama is not electable, what do you think Obama's team will tell them then ;-)

Obama will become the nominee for the democratic party, end of story.

If he is electable, time will tell in november.

mikael - the problem is that both are not "electable"...not against a tax cutting, spending hawk, war hero

if the dems had run a centrist in 00, 04, or even 08, they would be looking at 12 years

gore and kerry and now hillary/obama are way too far to the left for most of america

A great Rat summation.

Please enlighten the forum as to who exactly this person is because I surely don't know.  

 

mccain 08 is a tax cutter...a few years ago he was not

war hero is not really debatable...5 years in a POW camp

mccain on spending - he will work to make every single US Govt agency transparent (assuming not the military/CIA/FBI etc)

cut taxes, cut spending, strong defense = a vote from me

rd - yes, but if al gore had won his own state, the SCOTUS case would have never happened.

Did my Part and Voted for Obama today....Thank God he has come on the world stage at this moment to fix the Mess the Right Wing Wackos have made of this country...and the Moral gutter we are in now as a Nation....

That being said the poorer, less educated, more religious white people in the Western ,Middle and Northeastern part of the state will prob give Hill the win...scary those are the same losers that loved George W Fuckhead....

Hmmmm...You even sound like Obama with that comment.  Right, only educated people would vote for Obama???

Just what the US needs....  a communist for a leader.  This guy is not someone who should lead a nation.  The US doesn't need a racist as President.

Obama is half white and half black ....AND YOU CALLED HIM A RACIST....against whom?lololololololololol

 

You sound like Homer Simpson...lololololololol....LOLOLOLOL
