1. Whoppers are one of the unhealtiest foods one can eat.

[DCBob]

6. Definition of whopper: "something that is very large and impressive" (Merriam-Webster)

And this poll is that and then some!!

[GreydeeThos]

14. Is eating Red Herring health?

[Alfresco]

18. Eat a peach, a Georgia peach. :-)

[BillyDawg]

2. Damn

I'm hungry now

[LexVegas]

3. Thats an old fashioned ass whoopin. nt

[livetohike]

5. K&R

[kstewart33]

7. Surprising data.

Hillary is outpolling Bernie among whites by 20 points, blacks by 70 points, people ages 40 and up by over 50 points, and young people by 6 points.

And women by 50 points, and men by about 30 points.

Even for a Southern state, this is a bit surprising.

[DCBob]

9. Welcome to the south!

You're not in Vermont or NH anymore.

[SheenaR]

10. Yeah Thanks South

You do a great service to us in the GE.. oh wait

[DCBob]

15. Unfortunately for Bernie every vote counts the same.

Not matter what state the voter resides.

[SheenaR]

17. Big Picture Bob

Hillary wins and the South does nothing for us. But hey, Yay for the South!

[DCBob]

28. So what are you saying??

We shouldn't include "Red" state Democrats in the primaries??

[SheenaR]

30. Umm nope

I'm saying lets not get too excited about states we will lose in November. Slight difference than your interpretation.

[DCBob]

33. My "excitement" in Hillary winning Georgia..

is NOT related to the possibility of Hillary winning Georgia in the general election.

My excitement relates to Hillary likely becoming our nominee whom I believe is our best candidate.

Is that ok with you?

[SheenaR]

41. Bob

Get over yourself. Condescend much? Congats on the win today

[DCBob]

42. I have no idea how you get "condescend" out of that.

I never insulted you but you have managed to insult me for no reason.

Ciao.

[Buzz Clik]

8. shhhh!

[Smarmie Doofus]

11. Another SOLID RED state.

Not surprising Clinton's popular there.

But not terribly significant either.

[DCBob]

13. I dont get this mentality that Democrats in "Red" states don't matter.

We are all Democrats no matter what state we live and we should all have a say in who our nominee is.

[livetohike]

20. I guess it would be significant if Sanders was polling well there then? It's significant because

Democrats also live there and they will be choosing the most qualified person in the race.

[GummyBearz]

34. Not exactly

"Democrats also live there and they will be choosing the most qualified person in the race"

It seems to be super delegates are choosing the most qualified person. Too bad when the GE comes they go from "super" to normal.

[Persondem]

31. Check this widget page out from 538

It shows how much voting needs to change to flip a state from red to blue (and vice versa but why would anyone want to do that)

It shows that GA will flip blue if Dems can break even with college educated voters and Latinos vote in similar number to AA.

Plus, it's just kinda fun to play around with.

With Trump pissing off Latinos like he is, GA could be competitive.

[Bleacher Creature]

16. Looks like the "bern" has run its course.

And we didn't even need any antibiotics!

[NurseJackie]

25. Ha! :-D

[MelissaB]

19. Woohoo! She's winning conservative Republican states.

Telling.

[livetohike]

22. It is telling that Bernie can't gain any traction after his blow out win in NH. n/t

[MelissaB]

23. Getting out of the South soon. We'll see what happens then.

[DCBob]

35. Probably get worse for Bernie..

momentum and bandwagon effect.

[MelissaB]

37. LOL!

[DCBob]

43. Laughter is the best medicine!

[SidDithers]

21. Nice...

Sid

[great white snark]

26. Needed to thank you.

Took a much needed break from GD: P and drowned myself in some Ray. Feeling much better.

[SidDithers]

32. Breaks are good...

even when they're involuntary (as mine was last month )

Good to see you back.

Sid

24. i think the republicans have started using the "socialist" attack

on Bernie. Over the last few days, I have heard gop pundits or elected gop officials starting to refer to him as the socialist.

This may have had or could have an impact on his numbers. Until now, relatively few attacks of this nature have been leveled at him. Hillary certainly did not use the "socialist" meme.

[DCBob]

29. MOE 3.5 which is quite good for a poll.

I wouldn't be surprised if the result is something like this today in SC as well. The trends have been all Hillary the past several days.

[Zynx]

38. That age split is roughly plausible, especially with primary turnout in a noncompetitive state.

[Logical]

36. Why add "and its a whopper"? Was that in the article? Weird. nt

[DCBob]

44. My words of expression... sorry, is that allowed here anymore??

[Juicy_Bellows]

40. Hold the pickles, hold the lettuce, special orders don't upset us!

All we ask is that you let us serve it YOUR WAY!

[Jitter65]

45. These polls are just designed to try to suppress the votes for HRC. Don't believe the margin is tha

wide. Get out and vote HRC supporters.

[DCBob]

46. Interesting theory...

but I dont think so.
