10. Seriously. This guy has been driving me up the wall for days.
He needs to go to FR, where people respect his tactics.

14. If he goes from 20% down to 10% down that's great!
But I think it will be a better result than that.

Edited on Sat Jan-19-08 04:05 PM by VolcanoJen

13. Will you renounce her victory on the basis of voter suppression?
Or do you just reserve sniveling for when an opponent wins?

Clinton by proxy filed the lawsuit to suppress the vote; see my sig line. Get that part straight.

16. Hillary should be winning Nevada by 15 points or more.
Considering how high she was in the polls a month ago and her advantage as a former first lady running against a political newcomer. The simple fact is that Hillary goes down in the polls when people get to know Obama better. That's true nationally and in every early primary state.
Hillary is as high in national polls as she will ever be. If we want someone who can gain more support then we need Obama.

18. You really, really need
a pizza. Everyone here finds you disgusting. congrats on being the most despised poster since a certain end of the alphabet person.

Oh, and I think Hillary is a failure of a campaigner because she lost Iowa- in fact, she came in third. And next week in SC, if you're still around, we'll see what you have to say.

19. It's not so much a failure as a campaigner as much as a failure of strategy
According to CNN's entrance poll, 68% of caucus goers are over age 45. Obama, as have many before him, relies on the youth vote. Unfortunately for Obama, the youth vote is notoriously unreliable. They may be enthusiastic about your candidacy, but they won't go vote. They think they have better and more fun things to go and do.

If you build your campaign on the youth vote, you will fail.

23. Well analytically rather than subjectively,of course...probably because
I have a PhD. in political science and teach 2 classes in "The American Presidency: 1952-2004".

However...on DU, in the grand and august GD-P, I'll humbly defer to your superior analytical skills.
