The media is overstating "women voters" in their

[annabanana]

. . "what must Obama do to win over"..talk.

They aren't even qualifying it anymore with "not college educated" or "middle class" or "older" or the rest of it..

As a woman whose first choice was never Hillary, I'm insulted!

[NC_Nurse]

1. Yep. Who ever said we were all the same?

:eyes:

2. She did win considerable support among college educated women too so that wouldn't be fair either.

3. Oh hell I have become so cynical now

That i see it as a tactic by the media to explain the phony polls that they are about to spring on us that it will be a close race.
It is not going to be a close race. If all great numbers of democrats vote (or be allowed to vote) Obama will win handily.

5. Yes, it's a media tactic ... we've SIX more months of this! nt.

6 more months of this media bull$#!t.

4. They're also exaggerating her 18 million voters

She doesn't have 18 million voters. She received 18 million votes in a Democratic primary. Just because someone votes for a specific person in a primary doesn't mean they'll stick to that person even after they've lost the nomination. That just doesn't make any sense.

Also, most of those Democratic voters have already moved over to support the Democratic nominee. Many of those who voted for her in the early primary states had already changed their minds long before the primaries were over but after their states had voted.

Yes she still has supporters... and I'm not even talking about the whackjobs that are making so much fuss nowadays about voting for McCain (I think those people are just using Hillary for an excuse). But she doesn't have 18 million voters to hang over Obama's head. She never did.

8. At 1 minute to noon, I'm going shopping ...

I'm glad I'll miss her speech.
I BETCHA it'll be all about Hillary and what SHE did.
I BETCHA she'll barely give 1 minute worth of words to OUR DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE.
She's such a narcissistic egomaniac. I've lost all faith in her.
I BETCHA the media glorifies her too.
Disgusting!

6. Chris Matthews just said that by Hillary saying "Obama will be a good friend to Israel", she

DELIVERED all of those Jewish votes to him, implying that he has received like, zero percent of the Jewish vote thus far. I am so sick of hearing about Obama's "Jewish problem". I know that there have been many Jewish voters who have not voted for him, but there are many who have as well. Don't get me wrong, I am very appreciative that Hillary said that, but I just don't like the idea that these voters of Hillary are listening blindly to see what Hillary says. If they are enough against Obama to begin with, Hillary saying nice things about him probably won't make a difference.

7. Simpletons who parade themselves as strategists

and collect fat paychecks for the hot air they produce keep telling the dullards running the media that there are voting blocs where there are none and never have been.

Thus, women, Hispanics, blue collar men, and other groups with wildly disparate voting patterns will find themselves lumped into one stereotype or another every single election until the economy gets so bad that even simpletons and dullards need to go out and do something useful in order to eat.

Yes, it annoys the hell out of me, too, since I was never even slightly in Clinton's DLC corner. However, it's the type of stupidity we're likely to see more of in the months to come and protesting to these fools is not likely to do much good while they're still drawing such fat paychecks for being stupid.

12. That was Clinton's surrogate, who was doing her no favor

by repeating that campaign talking point. Wasserman Schultz needs to go into another line of work, seriously.
