Comments on: Clinton's deputy campaign manager resigns http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/02/12/clintons-deputy-campaign-manager-resigns/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: b harding http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/02/12/clintons-deputy-campaign-manager-resigns/#comment-532638 b harding Wed, 13 Feb 2008 17:02:43 +0000 http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/02/12/clintons-deputy-campaign-manager-resigns/#comment-532638 Listen up people, I am a latino and an old woman. Over 45. As much as HRC says she is supported by latinos, she has not got all their support. They are breaking out like most of the country. Old people - Clinton, people under 45 - Obama. I can tell you that in California, there were alot of absentee ballots. My mother now wants Obama but she voted absentee long before the primary, before there was much information (not the internet) available about Obama. So she voted on name recognition - Clinton. As for experience -- I don't care how long you have been in politics, you are either effective or your aren't. Clinton has been ineffective. In my opinion, she has a bad voting record, too many times voting in lockstep with Bush. Also, Obama's website has detailed information on where he stands on various issues. He is trying to flesh out his stump speeches more, but when you hold a rally, it is best to not try to get too detailed. People tend to have short attention spans at these things. Also, the Clinton campaign people here in Washington State called me 8 times! Everytime I told them I was not voting for Cinton. The sixth caller told me to "go to ----"! Real nice lady.

Further evidence of your unevolved and fatuous perspective, is your weak use of cultural prejudices. Go back to school and pay attention this time around. The entire Obama movement is about the free-thinker, not those who follow the RNC or DNC scripts, or the hateful rhetoric from the "Conservative" talk radio. Open your eyes and allow the wrinkling of your brain to occur. Stop being a pawn for the powerful and become an individual as part of a cooperative, not a collective. In a cooperative there is always a choice. The other only wants slaves and robots. True maturity and intelligence is when one can have an opinion, and still respect the right of others to disagree. Dave: Are you a free man or are you a slave. Do you think for yourself or is it Rush, Hannity, Beck or Bush? Is this a Democracy, or do we exist in a monarchy where Corporations choose our leaders and make our laws. Have you read the Constitution, or are you merely playing your role as an actor in a play? Do you know yourself? Are you an American? Do you believe in Independence and Freedom -- Individual Freedom? Again, Are you Free? Dave,

As his name recognition grows, he expands his support, where as Hillary has already maxed out in both catagories. Senator Obama should be polling nationally at around 55% support level with in the next two weeks. There comes a time when the majority breaks one way for the person that they want to have on their TVs for the next four years. It looks like they are now breaking that way for Senator Obama. When you have two candidates competing with policy plans that are not very far apart, then the electorate uses likeability and charisma as the tie breaker. It appears to me that Senator Obama has a big edge there. Hillery will have to go negative, and that will make her even less likeable, so she is in deep trouble. That means that there should be a late surge for him in all the remaining states. What appears to be happening is as people get to know Senator Obama the more they like him.
