69% of the voters voted BEFORE Obama's win in S.C. and many as early as before Iowa! |
|
And 51% of those who voted TODAY said Ted Kennedy's endorsement was important. These numbers mean that most of these votes came in before Obama "caught fire" AND the majority of voters considered Kennedy's endorsement important, and that's not including anyone who voted early. This is good news for Obama.

He'd do better if the vote was held later. HE'S doing better NOW than a month ago.

4. Well... the same will happen in California. |

You can probably get used to the same thing in California, the only difference is that those votes count.

8. Why? Your own wishful thinking? |
|
Explain to me why. California's absentee voting is just as large as Florida's.

9. Obama didn't compete in FL. He did and is in CA. |

And the delegates in CA will be divided up. It won't just be a "popular" vote.

10. Did Obama change his platform after Iowa or South Carolina? |
|
He lost plain and simple.

11. You left out something... |
|
O'Donnell also said that there was a poll conducted this week and of the people polled 69 % said they had already made up their minds. This was people who had not voted yet. The 51% includes "important" and "somewhat important." The rest were "not too important" and "not important at all."

14. My mistake. I left out the "very." |
|
But she did state that most of the people voting today had stated their minds were already made up. So it's a bit misleading to imply that the only reason for her lead was the early voting. That was part of it, not the whole picture.

Hillary won a decisive 0-0 win, and Obama came in a distant 0 to Clinton's 0.
