Tuesday: The Game Changes as Voters Endorses Hillary!

I am done with the delegate count stuff.

Neither Hillary nor Barack will likely gain enough votes to win the nomination outright. We know this ad nauseum by now. So stop talking about it.

This will be a contested Democratic Convention, as it should be!

And on Tuesday the rules of the game will be changed by the will of the voters! The direction of the nomination will be changed on Tuesday. The tone of the Convention will shift on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, the game will change!

On Tuesday, Hillary will vastly pad her lead in the popular vote.  On Tuesday voters will show momentum for Hillary by way of votes of confidence for her that were once not thought to swing her way.  Voters will change the game on Tuesday because the luster of inspiration isn't enough to make change happen.  The voters will change the game on Tuesday because the Senator from Illinois is becoming less consistent.  The voters will change the direction of the wave of democracy on Tuesday because electability is more important that hope alone.  Hope can only be fulfilled if the hopeful win.  Otherwise that hope was just a dream, and it appears that democratic voters are waking from the Obama dream as it turns to a nightmare where McCain could be President.

Voters are changing the game.  Voters are continuing the shift in opinion.  Whereas Barack was once seen as the only option, buyers remorse has set in, and the voters are changing the game to who they see as the GE winner:  Hillary!  Hillary has demonstrated over and over again a winning strategy that includes more than hope for change, but details, plans and understanding of how to make change happen.  The voters are changing the game because they know that hope of change alone isn't enough.  For change you have to have a plan.  For change you have to have an understanding of the problem.  For change you need stamina, charisma, and the will to fight on in the face of your enemies.  Otherwise, your only hope is to return to sleep and dream of a reality that never had a chance.

Hillary has momentum on her side.

Hillary has earned the confidence of the voters.

The voters are changing the game on Tuesday.

They are voting for Hillary in a wave of support that will not be easily ignored!

Obama won early, and then showed us less of what he would do, and more superfluous speeches.

Well words alone aren't enough, and that is why Hillary is winning.  That is why she won Pennsylvania.  That is why she will win Indiana.  That is why she will run away with the vote in Kentucky.  That is why she will close the gap, and possibly win in North Carolina.  She has the substance and the words, Obama just has pretty words.

Tuesday will change the game; and we have Hillary to thank for that.

Hillary is clearly the more electable candidate, and on Tuesday that will be shown with votes!  Spin and spinmeisters aside, the real question of electability lies in the hands of the voters and the voters will change the game on Tuesday.

The ball is going to be in her court, and that is where it will stay, because the game will change on Tuesday!  Onward Hillary; to the Convention where you will win!

Don't just "hope" for change, INVEST in it!

Give to Hillary for President!

Yesterday on Gallup her lead was 4, today it is cut back to 2.  What will tomorrow bring??  I predict it will be a tie again.

Re: I think we all know what (none / 0)

I will vote for the other Democrat, who I also like, but don't prefer.

McCain will lose in '08!

I just see it as a more comfortable loss at the hands of Hillary.  But don't for one second try to pin me as someone that will turn his back on the party.  Obama isn't bad, he's just not the best in my opinion.  

I will happily drink the Obamabot KoolAid if he becomes the nominee, but that is yet to be decided, and that is the very point of the diary.

"On Tuesday, Hillary will vastly pad her lead in the popular vote."

Possibly. Though you may have to be taking psychodelic drugs to see this happen.

Re: OK. (none / 0)

I'm still trying to figure out by what measure she has the lead in popular vote since I keep seeing this...  

Is it by not counting any MI votes for Obama?


Like the nominee, don't like the nominee... Our nominee is still better than John McCain...

Re: OK. (1.00 / 1)

TalkLeft doesnt include caucus state when tabbing their popular vote. That's how Hillary is "ahead".

I know, its dumb.

Re: OK. (none / 0)

The key is to thump yourself on the head with a mallet a few times before you do the counting. It also helps to use a functioning calculator when you add up hillary's totals, and a calculator that his been dropped in a jar of honey when you add up Obama's totals.

Re: Tuesday: The Game Changes as Voters Endorese (2.00 / 1)

This isn't a game. The primary is a race for delegates--that has not changed. You are doing a disservice to the democratic party by spreading false information.


by grasshopper on Fri May 02, 2008 at 04:00:55 PM EST

A POV Rove would love (2.00 / 1)

What are you smoking? The last thing the S.D.'s or for that matter any true Democrat wants is a fight on the floor of the convention. That's what Rove is dreaming about. Face it kids the S.D.'s are going to vote for who ever wins the pledged delegate race.

Hillary doesnt lead in the popular vote (none / 0)

There is no lead to pad. The TalkLeft numbers don't include Caucus states. Nice Try.


by BlueGenes on Fri May 02, 2008 at 04:36:45 PM EST

Endorese? (none / 0)

Dear cheerleader:

How are we supposed to take your premonition seriously when you misspell "endorse"?

Typo! Grrrr.... (none / 0)

Thanks for that!  Fixed.

I hate that stuff, but what I hate more is the idea that any single typo invalidates the discussion.  That is just silly.

But thanks, and I fixed it.

I normally don't like the typo police either, but come on, it was in your title.  Anyway...

It's O-ver for the O-Bot (2.00 / 1)

This is exactly the type of momentum shift I predicted post-Pennsylvania.  

On April 21, Indiana was a dead heat, lean Obama.  North Carolina was an Obama blowout.

Now, heading into the primaries, Indiana looks like a comfortable Hillary win, if not a blowout.  And North Carolina looks more like a tie, lean Obama.  

North Carolina is Obama's last firewall.  Then he will see margins against in him Kentucky, West Virginia, and Puerto Rico that will shock the nation.  They'll be all over the news, "Obama loses state by 30 points."  


2004 swing state margins: PA-2%, OH-2%, IA-1%, WI-0.5%, MI-3%, FL-5%, NM-1%; Alienating 50% of the party is a luxury we can't afford.

Re: It's O-ver for the O-Bot (none / 0)

Woops. You forgot Oregon, Montana, South Dakota and the fact that Clinton needs to net an average of 70 percent of the vote in every single remaining contest in order to surpass Senator Obama's pledged delegate lead, which is how the primary will be decided.

Re: It's O-ver for the O-Bot (none / 0)

Pledged delegate lead isn't how the primary is decided.  Get educated!

Good luck in Oregon, Montana, and South Dakota.  Oregon looks to be a tossup and Montana + South Dakota have very very few delegates.

Re: It's O-ver for the O-Bot (none / 0)

Nancy Pelosi:

And, the speaker said again in an interview Friday that was aired today, the decisions of the party's "super-delegates'' to the Democratic National Convention should "reflect'' which candidate has claimed the most pledged delegates in a contest which she believes will end well before the convention in Denver. - Baltimore Sun

Jimmy Carter:

"And I think that many super-delegates who have not yet declared their preference have the same feeling that I do, including the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. She's said over and over that whoever gets the most [pledged] delegates by June 3rd ought to be the nominee. - UK Telegraph

Ultimately, the super-delegates may choose whomever they see fit, but if they choose to vote against the person who leads in pledged delegates it will be a coup and cause loss of faith in a large population of voters under age 65 and long term damage to the party.

Good luck in Guam!
