Why did Clinton win the same voters Obama claimed she tried to "suppress"?

If the casino voters went for Clinton after Obama tried to blame her for the lawsuit, that tells me they either agreed with the Clinton's position or they didn't buy what Obama was selling or they were fiercely loyal to Clinton.

Why DID those same voters support her?

And good for them for rejecting the dirty Chicago style politics.

Really????

Clinton didn't initiate the lawsuit, but you know full well that it was supported by those close to her and was only initiated after Obama's Iowa win.

Bill went all out on it so they weren't trying to hide their support

Legal actions to secure or gain preference on the ballot are not unknown to Obama. Again, I stress LEGAL.

reflect the views of the membership. My experience in a union (8 yrs) reflects this. More often than not, the membership was told what to believe and how to vote.

They didn't follow the orders of their union, which was vote Obama.

President Clinton must have been dead-on when he said he had people coming up to him saying they knew who their union supported, but THEY supported Sen. Clinton.

They were not willling to engage in group think.

just culinary workers eligible to vote at the casino caucus stations.

How about looking at what her lead was 3 weeks ago there, and comparing that to the percentage of her victory?

Looks a little less like a victory and more like a Dunkirk - avoiding disaster.

Don't get the Dunkirk reference? You probably read about it in high school. But then, you can forget a lot in five years.

wasn't that an army fleeing from defeat after defeat needing rescue to survive, only to come back and win? An odd reference, to be sure. Seems to me that Hillary has actually won the last two head to head matchups, despite trailing in polls the day before each. What this suggests to me is that, at the end of the day, when it's time to pull the lever or stand in a corner, primary participants are simply more comfortable with Hillary, for whatever reason. People want to support Obam, and the more they see, the more they like him (hence the better polling) but when it counts, they don't. And I don't know why.

Again, never mind that three weeks before each she had a more than comfortable lead in each, which on the day of the voting was reduced to a skin-on-her-teeth win.

Got an explanation for that?

national polls.

things are going to get interesting as the Clintons plot and strategize their way across America to win 8 more years in the White House ...

If a former president asks a dishwasher or bellhop to caucus for someone, might he do it?



It is a disgrace that a former president behaves this way, even for the wife he cheated on.

:shrug:

assisuously. First know thine opposition.

Hilary has an exceptionally good relationship with the Hispanic
Community.

The 527 who put up that terrible ad about Hilary does not understand
Campaigns I fear. An ad to have an impact must have enough truthiness
that the public will buy it.According to a reporter from Salon, she
said there was a backlash effect observed earlier in the week.
People do not automatically buy into an ad. I will bet the Clinton
campaign responded quickly and strongly. ( I was not there)

Since Hilary has a good relationship with the Hispanic Community
it is fairly certain they will surpport her with their votes.
I would say since large numbers supported her, it made it easier
for them to stand up to the Union Supervisors., who may have
preferred they vote for Obama.

because of Hipanics? Have you ever taken a sociology class? Minorities compete

And, Clinton supporters did try to suppress voters, so I guess they underestimated the Hispanics?

anyone from voting....Second hrc's campaign knew that nevada was a great time to give back to the latino voters all the support they have shown her from early 07, and all way through her senate races.....hrc campaigned hard and often for this vote....and what happened, she took a big majority.....plus looking ahead to the general election, this puts into play nevada which the repubs won in 04 and put in play new mexico the repugs won in 04 and arizona the repubs won in 04.....So lets just say that hrc wins all the states kerry won in 04 and adds those 3 states....what do you have? you have President elect Hillary Rodham Clinton....uh huh

and really pissed that the union members voted their real choice instead of the union boss' choice. I am a union member and I could give a shit what my insipid local union president thinks about anything.
