[BeyondGeography]

From the latest (Jan. 7) Insider Advantage poll:

Obama: 40% (W-31.4; B-48.2)
Clinton: 33% (W-30.2; B-36.8)
Edwards: 15% (W-25.5; B- 5.8)

1. I don't wanna know about polls.

2. They worked in Iowa; they'll work again elsewhere

3. Team Clinton is well within striking range

I bet black voters are lying to pollsters about intending to vote for :tinfoilhat:bama as well as white voters. If Hillary has 37% of black voters, it's possible there are more who are being silent or saying they will support the black candidate in public and then rewarding the Clintons for the good old days.

4. Those days are gone

5. Would you?

If someone had used drug dealer smears, muslim smears, MLK smears, and now the "shuck and jive" smear. Would you vote for a campaign that had done all of that?

6. Obama will take SC

I haven't heard anybody say that Hillary can take it...Its just got the right cocktail of voters.

7. I don't like the fact that you play the race card

Not everything has to be about race. Give it up.

[BeyondGeography]

8. You're confused

Get help.

10. The only card Obama has is the race card

Every election :tinfoilhat:bam loses or fails to meet expectations in will be because of racist voters. :tinfoilhat:bama will save the Republicans in 2008 by reframing the election around race instead of Republican treachery, failure, and corruption.

15. Except for the fact that Obama has never played the race card,

that the tinfoilers are a completely different group than his supporters, and that the race card is not being played at all in this thread...yes, except for the fact that your post has absolutely no basis in fact whatsoever, you're totally right.

9. If Edwards loses the white vote to Obama, can he still claim

that only he can take the South for the Dems?

[Wisconsin for Hill]

11. just like those polls in NH

Obama is toast. He's in way over his head, and I think deep down you know it.

[Tarheel_Dem]

12. I wish I had your crystal ball.....

I've said it before, Obama may not be the nominee, but if it's Hillary she'll be getting it from all sides. Within the party, and certainly without. I now know, initimately, the meaning of the word "polarizing", and it is spelled H-I-L-L-A-R-Y.

[terisan]

13. Heck lets not polarize or stand up for ourselves The Repubs and the corporations will spank us.

Grow backbones people.

You are letting Unity 08 decide your future.

16. You're trying too hard.

18. And we know how reliable polls are n/t
