Hillary with comfortable lead in California - solid support among latinos, seniors, women
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/01/22/MNSNUJ0JA.DTL

Field Poll director Mark DiCamillo said that despite the large number of undecided voters, Clinton's strength among women, seniors and Latinos suggests a formidable strength approaching the upcoming "Super Duper Tuesday" primary here.

"If you wanted to pick three voter groups which are probably most important in a Democratic primary electorate, those are the three," he said.

Women are expected to make up 57 percent of the state's primary electorate on Feb. 5, while "Latinos are the fastest-growing voter group, and seniors are the most reliable. That's probably as solid a base as you can start with," he said.

DiCamillo said that even the large undecided segment - 1 in 5 - of the Democratic voters "shouldn't trouble Clinton too much." That's because those undecideds are "mostly older voters ... and she's leading by 22 points among that segment," he said. "You can expect many of them will break Hillary's way."

5. Would this be the same confortable lead Obama had in NH?
I don't mean to be rude, I just want to understand what you're saying.

7. Indies and Republicans can vote in the Dem primary
And also, the winner of the popular vote doesn't necessarily mean the most delegates. People need to keep this in mind.

9. I just hope to God there are plenty of people watching CA very closely.
The same state party which returns Diane Feinstein, Jane Harmon and Jellyfish Pelosi to office moved this primary up for a reason. It's obvious who they want to win.

Be strong against the evil DLC, Californians!

10. I can't believe Democrats are going to vote for more of the same.
As we all saw in the debate last night and in the words and actions of the Clintons over the last couple of weeks , a vote for hillary is a vote for politics as usual. Distortions instead of truth and swiftboat type attacks instead of honest debate. We just had 20 years of clinton/bush politics, we don't need any more. We need change, we won't get change with hillary, shes old school.

15. I would spin it by letting you know Christofascist is a made up word.
It has no meaning. It's like the Bush-speak "Islamofascist".

16. Yes it's slang, duh
Progressives know what it means, but I know they number few among Obama fans. I'm so glad after Super Tuesday they can go back to voting Republican, and worshiping in the Christofascist church of their choice.

17. Ah, the nostalgia vote.
How wonderful it was...

Life comes at you fast. This time there won't be a big tech revolution in computers and communications to take credit for and millions of the jobs that helped erase the Reagan/Bush deficit are now being done in oher parts of the world while the Repig deficit is even worse this time.

But it's so nice to think back...

19. feb 5th
Super Tuesday is looking to be going in Hillary's favour, Obama is in serious trouble if he can't pull out a SC win, it's his to lose
