I don't think Clinton's negative campaign had much impact Tuesday |
|
It might have had some impact in Ohio preventing Obama from winning but Vermont gave Obama a huge win even after all the negative attacks and the big city's in Texas were voting for Obama by a percentage of around 60% to 40%. Hillary has been polling well in Texas and Ohio for months and Obama made them close, actually pulling out a delegate win in Texas.
I think if momentum had really changed we would have seen it in a state like Vermont. The Media wants a race and is going to play up the fantasy that Hillary has a chance and has stopped Obama's momentum, but in reality it's over for her. The negative NAFTA ads might help her stay in the race with wins in states like Pennsylvania but they will have little effect in the more numerous states that Obama is favored in. The numbers are nearly impossible for her to overcome without doing major damage to our party. My handle is Quixote and I admire the character and spirit of reaching for the impossible, but Don Quixote didn't beat the shit out of Sancho on his quest to right all wrongs.

Ohio demographics favored HRC; she was 'way ahead in polls a while ago, and he closed the gap. The ads affected maybe two, three votes.

2. I don't think so either. Polls were showing that more people thought she was unfair. |

I think she got a sympathy vote combined with that rash of Muslim/Pledge smear emails that went out.
