Absentee voters are strongly supporting Clinton by 53% to 30%.

1. wow

[Herman Munster]

2. she has tons of votes already banked

before Kennedy or South Carolina or any of this other nonsense.

3. I'm a CA voter and the early voting certainly favors Clinton

since many voted before Obama became a more viable and legitimized candidate.
Clinton should carry CA with Art Torres and the Democratic establishment strongly involved in her campaign for as long as it has been. Just hoping Obama picks up a nice share of delegates

[THUNDER HANDS]

4. as long as a candidate gets 30% or more of the vote

they'll get essentially the same number of delegates as the winner.

5. That just doesn't seem right!

Oh, well, that's California!

[joshcryer]

7. Is that true? If so, "representational democracy at its best."

That'd be dispicible if true.

[THUNDER HANDS]

10. yeah, you need 15% to get delegates

and 30% to get close to half.

In a 3-person race anyway.

If Hillary had gotten 1% more in South Carolina, she would have picked up way more delegates.

[joshcryer]

11. That's amazing.

And insulting to the integrity of the Democracy we supposedly uphold. I hate the delegate and electoral system. Hate hate hate.

[joshcryer]

9. Just out of curiosity, has your stance changed?

[tandem5]

13. No, I've been solidly in her camp now for a few months...

before I was also considering Edwards strongly.

12. this is just a poll, people

they do not count the votes until election day. just another poll.

[indie_voter]

15. I was going to ask.. I thought they had to wait until election day? n/t

[usregimechange]

14. The same source: "Obama leads by 41% to Clinton’s 28%.

among "declined-to-state or independent registered voters."

[Beacool]
