Obama's winning the spin!!
More important than the NC victory people realize and are saying on TV that Obama has won, he is the winner, Hillary CANNOT go any further. She LOST!

WOW

1. Even that tool Scarborough is giving this win its due.
He'll surely change his tune as time goes on, but for immediate shock value, it's there.

8. Of All People Scarborough Says It's All Over.
Of all the people in the world finally someone says it on the air...IT'S OVER HILLARY.

3. Even the night's spin ain't over 'til it's over
After PA they were basically saying that 5% was so close that he won, then it turned "double digit" and she won the spin.
Just have to play out the game.

6. The spin this time will be that she came back from a 20-point deficit
Edited on Tue May-06-08 06:52 PM by FlyingSquirrel
to close the gap.

That's a LIE. Her biggest deficit was 15-16% and most of that came from a single pollster, PPP. In reality her biggest deficit without PPP was more like 12%. PPP at that same time period had her losing by 21%. If you add the average PPP difference between the other pollsters since Super Tuesday which was about 3.3%, you get the same 15-16% deficit at her worst time period.

4. They finally realized they can't keep up the lie about Hillary's chances. Heheh
About fucking time - it took two months for the newsmedia to tell that simple truth.

7. Just for comparison purposes, note that George "Macaca" Allen got 15% of black folks....
... Clinton can't even beat a big-time bigot with black folks.

10. Obama won in MOST income categories, too -- ditch that "elite" label!
That's the best news -- he's getting back some of the same voters
he was winning before HRC started the "kitchen sink" strategy (see
Virginia, Maryland, etc.).

This win is going to go a long way toward convincing the Super
Delegates to get off the fence.
