Comments on: Polls: Clinton does better in the swing states http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/05/22/polls-clinton-does-better-in-the-swing-states/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Larry in Houston http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/05/22/polls-clinton-does-better-in-the-swing-states/#comment-1125639 Larry in Houston Thu, 22 May 2008 16:09:17 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=7289#comment-1125639 Sometimes it seems that it would be better to be trailing in the race. You get most of the attention for the marginal areas where you're doing well. ...so much so that it starts to feel like you are actually winning. What a strange political season this has been. And oh, by the way, the next time I'm watching a football game. when , say the cowboys are leading te Packers by, say 24 points at half time, and the packers come back strong in the second half to make things interesting, but still lose, I will write the NFL commisioner, and insist that everyone recognize that the Packers are really the better team as evidenced by the difficulty the Cowboys had in sealing the deal. I will insist that the Packers advance to the Super Bowlrather than the Cowboys because they provide the best chance for an NFC team to win.

Think of what all the money spent on this campaign could have been used for. The hundreds of millions of dollars raised would likely have been sufficient to put a chimp in office.

Why didn't we just conduct polls to determine who the presidential candidate should be? Like Obama has said, America is ready for change. Things as we know them will be very different in November, including the so called "Electoral Map". Furthermore, I see this election as a referendum on the Iraq war. Vote for McCain if you endorse the war in Iraq. Does this mean we should not have had the primaries? Why didn't we just conduct polls to determine who the presidential candidate should be?

In order for her math to work for the “popular vote”, she adds Florida and Michigan, and ignores Hawaii, Wyoming, Nebraska, Minnesota, Alaska, Idaho, Kansas, North Dakota, Colorado, Maine, Nevada and Iowa (because they use caucuses) – how is that counting all states? So are we to say that the people who voted in Florida and Michigan should somehow be given the super power of deciding our candidate? That the rest of the country’s voice should be ignored? Even if you don’t support Obama, you have to think that this argument is ridiculous. There is a reason that the popular vote is meaningless in a Primary, because it can’t be reliably calculated based on caucuses. That is why there is a delegate system – and if you don’t like it then petition the DNC to outlaw caucuses, change the system to a popular vote based election, and run that next time. But in the year 2008, we don’t do it that way – sorry Hillary, you weren’t robbed the nomination, you lost it.

Last night, our team did not do very good when at bat compared to the other team, so they won. However, when we did get runners on base, we had more runners score. Using HilBilly as a model, I argued that we should change the rules from not how many actually came in, but who had the best record of scoring once they did get on base. Do you know what these sexist bullies said? It's unfair to change the rules after the game is over and I agreed to them when we started, so shold accept the results. I'll never let any of my players onto the all star team if the people in this league are going to treat us like this. I coach a Little League team.

Hillary Clinton only goes down not up. Barack Obama is a rising star so there is nothing to worry about he is slowly climbing and once he's the nominee he'll become much stronger.

Now, she is planning to go to the convention in Aug to protect her votes for Florida. In an article on the Huffington post under the DNC rules committee it said that she could still win this race - giving her 51% from Florida and 49% from Michigan. Obama would get 47% from Florida and nothing from Michigan because his name was not on the ballot! I am totally disgusted with the democrat parrty. Talk about playing favorites!

Who really believes Obama has a chance in those traditional swing states - he doesn't appeal to the people there. As for him being competitive against McCain in traditional republican states because he beat Hillary in those places among Democratic voters. Good luck with that one. Obama is not going to bring conservative, deeply religious states to the Democrats with a left wing platform. He will get crushed in the South and will lose the important swing states (Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania) to the Republicans. This general election will be a slaughter.

Now they have shifted their concerns to make it look like Obama will be easy for them to beat in November.
