QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 4, 2008 -> 03:00 PM) Yeah, I'm kind of surprised actually. I thought, with his experiences in the Clinton White House, that there was only one way he wouldn't almost immediately endorse Clinton - if someone offered him a better opportunity. But, if that was the case, why hasn't he endorsed someone else? I guess maybe he is waiting for a better offer. Richardson is hugely popular in NM too, so he could pretty much hand that state to someone. I've said it before. Unless he is already planning on supporting Obama and is keeping quiet until after Super Tuesday to give Obama a post-Tuesday bounce... he is simply looking for someone to get way out front and then suck up to them. He said when he dropped out he would wait and see. When ANYNE says that, it screams "I'll endorse the front runner because i don't want to be wrong and left out of the others administration".

"yyarrrrr..... I be the republican pirate"

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Feb 3, 2008 -> 09:23 AM) It is a Zogby poll though. I'd take that with a pound of salt. I would normally too, but it's sample size is 1141 LV! That is compared to others with half the size or less.

Obama's on the move!!! Obama has a slight lead in California and is virtually tied with Clinton in New Jersey and Missouri

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 2, 2008 -> 04:17 PM) The more amazing thing than that math? The actual race is several times more complicated. Because you literally seem to have to go down to the district level. Oh believe me, I am well aware of that. I have absolutely no way of calculating something that complicated. Mine is very general. I just wanted to illustrate how CLOSE this really is. Also, the media needs to stop reporting "Clinton wins NV"... well, she didnt! Obama did! It's all about the delegates. Despite what people might want or thing, the delegates are more important than the popular vote. So, if Obama gets 186 delegates to 184 for Hillary... he won! even if she won 52% of the popular vote.

Ok, so I went through and used the most recent polling data to APPROXIMATE the total delegate count after Super Tuesday. Here is my methodology: 1) I only used states where the was a poll in the last week (post S.C.) 2) All Edwards and undecided voters were split evenly between Clinton and Obama. This is not "scientific" but it is being fair to both sides. 3) If there were more than one poll conducted in a particular time frame, I averaged them out. 4) States with no recent data I split 50-50. Unfortunately, there is no current data for a LOT of the states. Namely: Alaska, American Samoa, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Democrats Abroad, Idaho, Kansas, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Dakota, Utah. That's a combined 386 delegates. So, it breaks down like this... Clinton - 920 Obama - 879 Edwards - 26 THAT'S damn close people. Not an exact science, but this really puts it into perspective. A quick interesting point: People are talking up Hillary in CA and NY. BUT, if Obama wins IL 66-34 and Hildog wins CA and NY 54-46 and 58-42... Clinton only has a a small lead of 19 delegates That cancels out Obama's wins in SC, NV, and Iowa. at that point... it's a game for the rest of the states.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Feb 2, 2008 -> 01:42 PM) wouldn't that just be a "regular" plug as opposed to a shamless one, considering the source? yes

CNN just reported that Edwards will NOT endorse before Super Tuesday. Spineless bastard. Well, maybe this is the strategy? Let Obama get close on Super Tuesday and after the Super Tuesday victory speech by Hillary... have Edwards, Richardson, and/or Gore endorse Obama to give him a post-Tuesday boost.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jan 31, 2008 -> 08:51 PM) Shameless plug by Hillary at the end. It's on the Hallmark channel.. at least here in chicago it's been moved to digital. So, not a huge crowd.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 2, 2008 -> 01:13 PM) La Opinion, LA's largest Spanish language daily, endorses Obama. As far as I can tell, it appears to be a virtual sweep for Obama in California Newspaper endorsements. Sacramento, LA, San Fran, Oakland, and on and on and on. If you want a test of whether or not newspaper endorsements mean anything, it's Tuesday out here. Because this is about as one-sided as you can get. I think "day of" voting will be nearly a tie or a win for Obama. the problem is the early voting. So many people voted early and i bet that favors Clinton. It'll be VERY interesting.

YES WE CAN!

Silent Protest at Clinton Event... there HAS to be a picture of this somewhere.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 1, 2008 -> 10:27 AM) It's true. When's the last time McCain worked with the Republicans on ANYTHING? Tell the truth, that's why a lot of you people are looking at voting for him, because he acts more like a Democrat then the Democrats do. I think his stance on the Iraq war and the proclamation that there will be more wars will sink him in the election.

Bill Clinton - Allow More than Two Terms as Preisdent

QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Jan 31, 2008 -> 01:50 PM) Why is that in green? I was walking home at about 11PM Tuesday night and the thermometer at the bank read -22 degrees. I love it here. Well, i put it in green because it's never too cold to poll. Heck, it might be better because more people are home.

I dont know the FULL influence of early voting. However, Hillary has been pushing it hard in CA the last few days. I think she knows something. I think early voting CLEARLY favors Clinton since she was the front runner. But, a late surge from Obama can make it pretty darn close.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 31, 2008 -> 11:33 AM) First Minnesota poll is out, but it was actually taken pre-SC win for Obama, and pre-Edwards dropping out. Well, they've been too frozen the last few days to do the polls. lol

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 31, 2008 -> 09:47 AM) Clinton spent a couple days in Tennesee recently, and got some major endorsements there. Looks like she'll probably cruise there and in AR to take the mid-South. But, Obama looks very strong in the deep south, having won SC big, having a big lead in GA and a previous poll lead in AL. My predictions.... Close One Way or the Other (Delegates might be tied): Arizona New Mexico California Connecticut Massachusetts Minnesota Obama Wins: Illinois Georgia Colorado Alabama Clinton Wins: New York New Jersey Missouri Tennessee Arkansas Unknown: Kansas Oklahoma Utah Idaho Delaware Alaska North Dakota American Samoa Unknowns are states with no recent polls or where edwards had very strong support.

Obama pulling away in Georgia Clintons pulling away in Tennessee.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jan 31, 2008 -> 09:38 AM) If she wins and gets 2 terms that would mean a Bush or Clinton in the Executive branch from 1980 through 2016. That's ridiculous. Jeb Bush in 2016
