HuskyCaucasian Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Jan 3, 2008 -> 09:00 PM) What is a good website to look at polls? I rely on RealClearPolitics. But you have to be a careful consumer. They have some "fringe" polls that have been far from accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I do think it says something for our state that a black man is winning the way that Obama is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Well great news that Hilary isn't winning. Â I'm impartial on either Edwards or Obama, so a pretty good result. Â I think you probably have to consider Obama the favorite right now. Will be interesting to see how the Clintons regroup after this. Quite the wake-up call.

vandy125 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Pretty good turn out to this tonight. They were expecting 30-35 people where I was at. We ended up with 130! Pretty interesting process. I ended up as one of the delegates for the county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 These exit polls are really interesting. Â Married people went to Clinton, single to Obama. Â Democrats went to Obama, not to anyone else as was maybe thought. Any independents and republicans were strongly Obama. Â Previous caucus goers? 43% yes (went to Edwards). 57% no (strongly Obama).

Romney took a HUGE hit tonight. It's going to be hard for him to recover. McCain was a winner. he wasn't competing hard there, but landed 3rd and might win NH. Edwards... hmm... not sure. might be a looser. Clinton will hold strong in NH, but some Edwards supports might flock to Obama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see what you mean. Obama tends to be more passionate when he speaks, but Huckabee is "emotional". Not the crying emotional, but the move your heart. Obama moves your body into action.
