For Obama Supporters Only, Please
What the HELL is going on? How could he be up 5-13 points into
this morning? And be behind now?

1. Are you asking because you want to know
Or because you already do know?

17. Looks like they fixed this mistake but for a while
They had Obama with zero votes and it appears they had given Obama's votes to Kucinich. I hope these aren't the types of "mistakes" that will decide this election.

15. Or someone bought the same fix-the-election program that Bush
used. Hate to say that but you just don't go from at the
bare minimum from 5% up the night before to 5% down the
day of. Hell, that's a 10% swing overnight!

14. two possibilities
the race effect (people say they will vote for a black but don't). I'm not so sure about that as he won Iowa

The "youth" didn't show up? Scares me as they don't have a great track record.

Too close to NY where Hillary might be more popular?

Not enough time to campaign in NH, spent too much time in Iowa?

Dang.

16. Well, supposedly they poll likely voters, right? I can't think
that the race effect would have that much swing (10%) OVER-FRIGGIN-NIGHT ????
Maybe the last one you mention -- not enough time to solidify the support?

18. One phrase that explains this "Reluctant Clinton Responders"
...it seems that like Bush people who support Hillary do not have the courage to tell pollsters that the do so. Is an interesting phenomena so far fairly unique to the United States of America. Must have something to do with the aggressiveness of the media.

19. Important: Perhaps this explains things
I'm an Edwards supporter, but I thought you might appreciate this.

It explains alot.
