MY predicton. obama by 20% in south carolina

[dempartisan23]

will be a blowout win as he will go on to win the nomination.

1. Anything less will be a severe disappointment for Obama.

[Joe the Revelator]

5. You're kidding yourself. As long as he gets the most delegates, he wins.

Has Hillary done that yet?

[jlake]

8. I think he'll win by

But I have been told for weeks from Obama supporters that he would beat her by 20%+, so in that measure, it will be a severe disappointment.

6. lol

I know that's what you want the media to say, but rational people don't buy it.

[jlake]

9. Don't worry. The media will use this as a chance to bash Hillary...even if she wins.

[Radical Activist]

13. If there's anything Clinton's campaign has done well

its playing the expectations game. Carville was saying a loss for Hillary in Iowa wouldn't be a big deal on Meet the Press over 6 months ago. She should have won Nevada by at least 15 points but managed to play it off as a victory instead of the poor showing it was. You're doing a good job of repeating the campaign message.

[jlake]

14. Okay. I guess Hillary has a better campaign than Obama.

I'll add that to my list of why it is so important she be our nominee against the RW machine.

[TriMetFan]

12. I agree...

If Obama doesn't have a blow out win, then it will be a disappointment. But I think he has to win by more then 10% to 12% anything less is bad. I mean the man is suppose to have all the African American vote in SC.

15. that's silly.

was Nevada a severe disappointment for Hill? How about NH? And what did she win those by? Try 5.5% and 3%, respectively. Anything over 7 or 8 pts is good for Obama. 10 is great and 15+ would be fantastic.

[jlake]

17. Obama doesn't know how to play the expectations game.

I have a feeling the difference in our opinion won't even matter.
It will either be MUCH closer or a victory for Hillary tonight.

2. Now THAT's funny

[eleny]

3. Double digits would blow the doors off

[jackson_dem]

11. Romney won by 40% in Nevada and no one cared

Why? ;)

[eleny]

18. I wouldn't compare what's happening to the R's to the Dems

Frankly, when I think of the Republican Party right now I think of The Stooges. Are you sure you're running for president? Soitenly!

That bunch is a mess. I think their electorate is still waiting for someone from above to tell them how to vote.

[dempartisan23]

20. 27%

double digits times 3!!

[HughMoran]

4. I'm into the Power of Positive Thinking too

:D

[MH1]

7. I wish, but don't expect it.

I'm sure Team Clinton is using every dirty trick in the book, and probably inventing some new ones, so expect it to be closer than the latest polls suggest.

[dempartisan23]

10. i wont criticise hillary

i expect a big turnout for obama today

[karlrschneider]

16. If he gets the nomination, you should practice saying "President McCain"

...

[dempartisan23]
