States Swing For Clinton in Poll...Hillary RULES!!

A new poll out today gives New York Senator Hillary Clinton a decisive lead in Florida, the first big delegate prize in the race for the Democratic nomination.
While last week's Washington Post-ABC News poll of likely Democratic voters in Iowa showed the battle for the nation's first caucus as a three-way tie, the new Quinnipiac University survey gives Clinton a wide 30-point advantage over Illinois Senator Barack Obama in the Sunshine State.

Clinton is supported by 43 percent of registered Democrats in Florida, far outpacing Obama at 13 percent and former vice presidential candidate John Edwards at 8 percent. Former vice president Al Gore, who has said he has no intention of again seeking the presidency registered at 11 percent in the poll, which has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus five percentage points.

The New York senator's big lead in Florida's primary, set for Jan. 29, 2008, is matched in a simultaneous poll of registered Democrats in Ohio. In that state, Clinton has a 25-point lead over Obama. Ohio, while already labeled as a swing state (again) for the general election, is not scheduled to hold its presidential primary until early March, potentially after the nomination has been wrapped up.

In Pennsylvania, the third state Quinnipiac surveyed by telephone from July 30 to August 6, Clinton has a 16-point edge over Obama. Pennsylvania's primary is slotted for April 22nd, but state officials are considering moving it up to catch some of the early year frenzy.

"Sen. Clinton has increased her substantial Democratic primary lead over Illinois Sen. Barack Obama to 25 points in Ohio, 16 points in Pennsylvania and 30 points in Florida, the first big state to hold a primary, scheduled for January 29, 2008, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll finds. Giuliani is treading water in the Republican primary, holding leads over Arizona Sen. John McCain or former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson of seven points in Florida, 18 points in Ohio and 13 points in Pennsylvania."

It just ain't gonna happen!

i dont need her to tell me how to vote. iowa is home territory for obama. he should be ahead by 50 points there

She invited the Gropenfuhrer on her show to help him with the women's vote.After all, everybody knows Oprah wouldn't allow a serial sexual harrasser to promote his candidacy on her show.

Not Oprah. :eyes:

except to EVERY democrat I know-Tweety and his ilk are quick to try and shove her inevitability down our throats but go read any of the blogs and she's WAY down on most of our lists

Officially, Obama has peaked, pancaked and plateaued.

It relates to SaveElmer's thread about Hillary being the only candidate to show up at the AARP convention. She knows that older Americans are a valuable voting block, and they know that she will do the most for them.

I'm not at all surprised by Hillary's lead in Florida, she has over 15 years of name recognition and that many years with a Clinton-linked campaign team, with much less coverage for the others. In many other critical battleground states, Edwards, Obama and the others are tying or even beating Hillary, despite all her advantages. And too many Clinton supporters are burning their bridges with arrogant, misleading attacks on the other candidates.

:think:

HILLARY IS GOING DOWN!

He isn't about to enter the race so far behind now.

STOP MAKING NEGATIVE POSTS ABOUT MY CANDIDATE/LOVER!

now skid-addle!

THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE!

How naive of me. Once again, we will nominate an unelectable candidate.

the GE before the Primary?

The OP is about the standing in the Primary. As you can see, Hillary is enjoying a huge lead over her rivals.

It's from the beginning of August and has been out for a month.

Same one also posted a right-wing hit piece today attacking Obama for policies Hillary supports.

Tell me, ladies. Do you think that there's a "Pink Revolution" emerging that will carry Hillary into the White House? Will a significant number of female voters of every political stripe rise up -- determined to elect a President of their own gender for the first time ever?

Here in Texas in 1990, we hadn't had a female governor since Ma Ferguson followed Pa Ferguson into the governor's chair in the 1920's. But, in 1990, we had a gubernatorial race between State Comptroller Ann Richards and millionaire misogynist Claytie Williams. Williams was such a sexist lout that even Republican women organized carpools to get voters to the polls for Ann Richards. (Ann won in 1990 and then lost in 1994 when Rove engineered Daddy Bush's ne'er-do-well, wastral son into the governor's office.)

So -- are women going to step up in significant numbers to make Hillary POTUS #44? Whaddya think?

Shushing the Baby Boomers




"THE time has come, Senator Barack Obama says, for the baby boomers to get over themselves."

In taking the first steps toward a presidential candidacy last week, Mr. Obama, who was born in 1961 and considers himself a member of the post-boomer generation, said Americans hungered for “a different kind of politics,” one that moved beyond the tired ideological battles of the 1960s.

To make his point, Mr. Obama, a Democrat from Illinois in his first term in the Senate, announced the formation of his presidential exploratory committee in a video streamed on his Web site. He is tieless and relaxed and oh so cool.

Mr. Obama calculates that Americans of all ages are sick of the feuding boomers and ready to turn to the generation that came of age after Vietnam, after the campus culture wars between freaks and straights, and after young people had given up on what überboomer

****Hillary Rodham Clinton (who made her own announcement on the Web yesterday) called in a 1969 commencement address a search for “a more immediate, ecstatic and penetrating mode of living.”****

Yes, vote for a president that doesn't believe in age discrimination against any age of Americans! That would be Senator Clinton!

It's borderline racist, the way it selectively exaggerates many of Obama's features the way the old Jim Crow cartoons did, portraying him as smug. I know you probably did not intend it this way, but for those of us who have seen these old caricatures of African-Americans, your cartoon is disgusting. Do put it up again!

Who's borderline? Yours? The article was published in the NYT...grow a thicker skin and try arguing the merits of the topic. Your feigned outrage is boring and a cowardly finger pointing act.

Google caricatures of Hillary then comeback and bellyache some more.

:eyes:

Boomers like to congratulate themselves for movements that were really started by thier elders. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Tom Hayden, and Betty Friedan weren't Boomers.

but hell no.

Thanks for asking.

I just wanted to ask about it.

Since Wesley Clark and Al Gore aren't players in the race, I'm staying on the sidelines. I am encouraged by the weakness I see in ALL of the Republican contenders, but I'm worried by the field of Democratic contenders. As I see it, the Democrats aren't that much stronger than the weak field of Republicans.

I know that the Hillary camp is trying their best to cultivate an air of inevitability around her, but I'm NOT buying it. After Iowa and New Hampshire, we'll see who's really in the catbird's seat at that point.

among Democratic women. Ooga booga, people really don't care a whole lot about superficial things like a candidate's race and gender-- there are good and bad politicians of both genders and all races. What matters is where they stand. And a disturbingly high number of women Democrats really do not like Hillary at all-- the Iraq War is one thing, Hillary's hostility toward US labor on many fronts is another. They won't vote for her, even if she's nominated.

scares the crap out of me.

I think my biggest fear is that she captures the nomination and then the anti-Hillary warriors go into overdrive and she loses to one of those lame Republicans.

By the way, I know that there are lots of earnest, thoughtful people out there who honestly think that gender and race are not factors in this race. I WISH I could believe that. I'd really LIKE to, but I don't. I think that Hillary's gender and Barak Obama's race ARE significant factors for a huge number of potential voters out there. Both in good ways and in bad ways.

Does that help?

That's not enough for me. Please tell me, from a policy standpoint, what makes Hillary the best candidate. What policy positions does she hold that are superior to her opponents, and why?

Thanks in advance.

The poll was conducted from the end of July to August 6th.
Why are you treating it as breaking?

Because he's well past the point of honesty and decency in his support of Hillary.

And what's sad is that fellow Hillary supporters either support these tactics or don't speak out about them.I know that when I see some Edwards and Kucinich supporters doing something like that I cringe, and I've spoken to some of them about it, and how it reflects on those two men.Maybe there's some Hillary supporters saying something privately like I have, and if so I thank them for doing so.

It's also sad that these people who use these tactics are often the most vocal about how much they, and only they, are the real Democrats, yet they obviously could care less about the impact they make within that party, and the damage they cause.

"they obviously could care less about the impact they make within that party, and the damage they cause".

Wow so many wild unsubstantiated accusations and smears.

Why don't you start with how Clinton supporters are damaging the Democratic party?

But I totally stand by my words regarding this OP."They" refers to people like that, regardless of which candidate they support.

And yes, they ALL hurt the party.I didn't you expect you to get that anyways.

Here ya go. Enjoy :toast: :hi:
