Hillary's 10-point win and popular vote |
Lead | |
|
(04/23/08 06:29 AM) |
So, Obama seems to have lost a bit of momentum, which is a good thing in my book. People are finally taking note of what he's about, and it ain't as
pretty as once believed.
Hillary is now ahead in the popular vote by more than a million votes, and that should work in her favor. It's not over yet ... |

What a turn around many of the pundits are taking. Fickle folks, aren't they? Even Matthews was praising her! What can't be lost on the SDs I suspect
is that he throws 3 times the $$ into ads in PA and still comes up way short. Many were calling her speech the best in a long time by anyone.
What seems to be the biggest worry for Dems is that Obama just isn't connecting to the working class folks as evidenced by his lack of support from that base in all the big states where Clinton has captured that segment easily. That doesn't bode well for the GE where those Dem voters are likely to pick McCain over Obama. Sheesh. |

to catch up with him. The way the Dems have their rules set up that is a nearly impossible goal....unless something disasterous happens to Obama.

If you can't do better than a 37, on ten-pins no less, you have NO, NO, NO business going to a bowling alley. Heck even the two-hand tots at Cape Ann
Lanes manage that.

One of the cable news stations said this morning that Clinton had taken the lead in popular votes, but I might have misheard. They were making a point of her
being able to use it on the superdelegates, so that's where I got my perception from.

OTOH, McCain can't get anyone to pay any attention to him with all this going on, so he's not exactly getting his share of excitement or coverage. And
today Obama rightfully, IMO, chastised McCain for not being able to get the GOP to stop the ads he claims he doesn't want run. Now that translates in
common sense terms to either (1) McCain has no real say or clout in the GOP yet he's their standard-bearer---a tad embarassing for all OR (2) he's just
lying through his teeth and letting his folks do the deed he claims he doesn't approve of. Either way......not much of a leadership image, is it?

Hmm..seems to me like McCain is watching contentedly while Hillary's attack dogs do the dirty work of destroying the competition.........one thing the
Clinton dogs do with relish!
I assume that the reference to the GOP ad(s?) that McCain doesn't like is the one being run in North Carolina by a local GOP group which is running it to support their local candidates. e. They don't need McCain's permission to do that. It doesn't hurt him of course, but I'm sure he'd prefer all GOP to keep their powder dry, since Hillary is more than willing to expose Obama's weaknesses to the world. Further, every Dem kept from office on a local or federal level is a good thing so it's all for the good. Obama would be well served by stopping the whining about who is kicking sand in his face, though. It's really kind of wussy. This is so much fun to watch. |
