Hillary Takes The Lead

Filed under: Politik > Barack Obama > Hillary Clinton > John McCain

wenn-hill-barack.jpg

According to a new Gallup poll, Hillary Clinton has passed ahead of Barack Obama by an impressive 7 points — 49 to 42 percent.

This is the widest gap we've seen in polls between the two Dem presidential nominee wannabees in weeks.

The poll was conducted before Barack's acclaimed race relations speech on Monday.

But, according to Gallup's Jeff Jones, "the initial indications are that the speech has not halted Clinton's gaining momentum as she led by a similar margin in Tuesday night's polling as compared to Monday night's polling."

On another note, looks like John McCain is benefitting from the loooooong and tense Democratic nomination process. Grrrrrrr.

A new Gallup poll also showed McCain leading both Democrats. McCain holds a 4 point lead over Obama and 3 point lead over Clinton.

We don't care who you support. Just register to vote!

    Too bad tomorrow isn't the PA primary.

    She might've had a chance at getting the Dem ticket. Too bad it's weeks away, which is a hundred years in politics. The Wrightmare will pass over by then and if Obama continues these public addresses, he'll climb straight back up. In the meantime, we the voters are disillusioned with the Democratic party and their inability to settle this, and more and more of us are seeing McCain as the next president.

    C'mon dems, get your shit together and get the nominee ASAP! Losing this election to a Republican who aims to continue Bush's regime would tear this country into pieces. Not to mention it would show how incompetent the Democratic party is. Losing an election following a president who has thoroughly drove this economy into the ground and has sacrificed thousands of lives for selfish purposes? An embarrassment to the whole nation.

    Political Memo
    Clinton Facing Narrower Path to Nomination
    By ADAM NAGOURNEY

    WASHINGTON — Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton needs three breaks to wrest the Democratic presidential nomination from Senator Barack Obama in the view of her advisers.

    She has to defeat Mr. Obama soundly in Pennsylvania next month to buttress her argument that she holds an advantage in big general election states.

    She needs to lead in the total popular vote after the primaries end in June.

    Will the Gospel According to Jeremiah Wright sink the Obama candidacy? Not very likely.

    Let's start with two basic facts:

    (a) Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) has already won the Democratic nomination. It's over. Regardless of how the remaining primaries and caucuses go, including Michigan and even Florida, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) can never catch Obama in elected delegates. His current lead of 170 pledged delegates will not be overcome no matter what happens. Even if Clinton beats him by 10 points in each of these primaries, he will still lead among elected delegates by over 100. The superdelegates will not override the will of the voters unless Obama is in jail.

    I think it is quite interesting that for the whole of Hillary's campaign, her people have been talking about how polls don't matter because her ass was down in all of those polls. Now, interestingly enough, her people are all over this latest poll saying that there is momentum shift happening. Whatever, I think the fact that Obama has the pledged delegate, popular vote and is now more than catching up in superdelegates shows who Americans want as the Democratic nominee. And by the way, Perez, I love how you didn't post Obama's speech on race. You don't post anything but the negative things about Obama. How about you just stay out of it, hmm?

    Since Obama is a man of ONLY words, it would seem he would have left his church LONG ago. I never believed he had an agenda until finding out all of this. Now I do believe he has an agenda. And it is a racial agenda to use tax money to advance one race. And I believe that after he brought his white gramma into his so called speech, he actually must have hated her to make her look racist though she is dead and cannot defend herself. He smeared the other candidates in an attempt to make himself look average or ordinary in his hatred of the white half of himself. Too bad. I never really BELIEVED him, but I didn't think he was a scheming liar. Now we know. What a shame. He was the great hope of white guilt everywhere.

    I though people in America wanted things to change for the better?! If Clinton gets on the ticket, McAin wins and we have 4 more years just like GW. And if, by some twist of fate, Hil actually wins, it will be 4 more years like GW. Remember she actually VOTED FOR this illegal war in Iraq?

    Polling really doesn't mean much right now. It's about the delegates and the super delegates. If Obama can keep those super delegates in his camp, Hitlery has no where to go.

    But, both should still be out there and making their case all the way up to the convention. They both need to be heard and make their case. Competition is good and these two are great competitors.

    And one wonders why Malario is so pro hitlery? Is it cuz she is so much like Castro (Though Castro has better looking legs)? Or is it because Hitlery is promising all gay men free butt plugs that look like Bill Clinton if she is elected President?

    Perez supports the candidate who claims credit for an administration/husband who enacted the "Defense of Marriage Act," Don't Ask Don't Tell, and advised Kerry to advocate against gay marriage in 2004. Great gay rights candidate, there.

His damn mother is white, people com mon give it a rest. He doesn't agree with everything his pastor said. Both of my grandparents are pastors of churches and I don't agree with everything they say. Alot of priest, pastors, rabbi, and whatever can be very judgemental sometimes. Doesn't make them evil. No one is perfect , I know you probably have may skeletons in your closet.

    Re: OBUMMER IS A ROTTED RACIST PIG

    How can he lose?

    He's 170 delegates ahead and Hillary needs to win Pennsylvania by 140% (literally) to have a chance of getting close to Obama.

    Seriously this is OVER. She MATHEMATICALLY CANNOT WIN.

    Which is why the media only focuses on her when she whines about Michigan, Florida or makes some overtly racist comment.

    The better candidate won, now lets move onto the general election with us all united behind our nominee, Obama :)

Obama 08. Spread the love.

    This Clinton vs Obama vs McCain has turned into a race thing. There is no denying it. I think everyone at this point should embrace this and vote for Obama because it is time we voted for a president inspite of the race issue. Let the chips fall where they may.

    The poll was taken BEFORE Obama's speech on race (FYI he wrote that speech himself). It's very upsetting to think that people are so quick to judge without looking at the facts. Obama's mother is from Kansas & his father from Kenya. He is NOT muslum. His words on race were more UNIFING than anything. The MEDIA is taking over this election & ruining both candidates. Every time you see Obama on TV, they have him standing with Rev. Wright. Every time they show Clinton, they now show clips from her husband's presidency. Instead of following the issues, people are making quick assumptions based on FEAR. The sad thing is that the media is playing with everyone's minds. This is truly SEPERATING the democratic party. We are seperating OURSELVES by continuing the misjudgement (in our words– for instance on this blog).

  74. jkdfjdkj says – reply to this
    74

    The scenario with Rev. Wright is RIDICULOUS. My pastor (Catholic church) would often give homilies that were full of bias, and opinions on moral decisions. I DID NOT agree with him, but he was a great family friend. The POPE himself just added "10 more commandments". Does this mean that because I respect these people, that I am not a good person? I don't think so. We are all connected to people that are not 100% wonderful.

    We are just greatful that the media hasn't shown pictures of Monkia Lewinski…or aired old clips of Bill on the stand for impeachment!!! I'm sure that would not be a positive scenario for her campaign.
    NO ONE is perfect. The important thing that we need to do is come together as one to UNIFY the nation. I personally don't want to see the nation ruled by BUSH-CLINTON-BUSH-CLINTON. We would have over 30 years of the same two families. Hmmm…democratic society or hierarchy? You decide.
    Look at the issues. Then decide who you want for our next president.
