2. MSNBC just showed that only 25% of voters thought it was "very important"
to their decision.

Over half said it was not very important or not important at all.

31. But they didn't ask which direction it drove them.
Frankly, I don't understand that kind of question. Why waste the time?

5. Yeah, I liked the way Nora, on MSNBC
kept trying to allude to the fact that many voters voted before the Kennedy endorsment, and before SC....meaning, if they would have waited, they may have changed their minds....rriiigghhhttt.

Asshole media.

8. I'm sorry, but its true. And like here in Michigan, many stayed home.
If the delegates would have counted for the nomination, I believe that the turnout would have been even higher which bodes well for the dems in the fall.

6. Most of the votes were cast before today or yesterday, for that matter...
Obama was much more popular among those who voted today.

Did they ask the "importance of the endorsement "or
did they actually ask if Ted had a positive or negative effect or their decision.

Where I come from the Kennedy endorsement will have/is having a giant negative effect.

14. So I heard from Randi Rhodes today...
Ted's endorsement of Obama would get the Cuban, eh Latino vote. Now Randi used to live in Florida so she should know better.

30. Randi was trying to say today that Ted would get Obama the
Cuban vote. Her point was that they would finally forgive Dems for that little boy that Janet Reno rescued and vote for Obama - I really couldn't follow her because she conflated Latinos and Cubans as all one group.

I hate it when Randi tries to make her partisan (Obama support) point by being stupid.

19. Snowbirds are tourists from up north...
..who flock to Florida during the winter months.

I doubt they're registered to vote in Florida or participated in today's primary.

24. Well it's hard to say since 2/3 voted in early voting and those who voted today
over half said that the Kennedy endorsement was positive.

26. 60% voted early
50% that voted to day said the Kennedy endorsement was important to them

It will have an impact

Caroline campaigning with him is huge, more so than Teddy, she has NEVER asked this country for anything, until now

I will see them both tomorrow in Phoenix!
