MSNBC: On caucus eve, Clinton maintains 5 point lead in poll (can Obama pull the upset?) |
|
She is expected to win NV. I predict about a 3 point win for her. Can Obama be this generation's 'comeback kid'?

5. My money is on Hillary Inc. for the win. Even thoough the Clintons weren't able to suppress the vote |
|
like they had hoped, I think Bill "Karl Rove" Clinton will be able to pull it off.
And Dems often nominate lousy candidates, so history is on their side.

42. It isn't a link, just common sense. |
|
Though I think Bloomberg's decision hinges more on whether or not the GOP nominates a looney tunes candidate.

20. Last week didn't they say Obama was in the lead by 5 or so points? |
|
It seems like in only the last couple days is Clinton ahead. Maybe the Obama camp is trying to lower expectations?

23. It will be very hard for Obama to win Nevada. If he even comes close, it will be a shock to Hillary. |
|
But the truth is that Hillary is favored in Nevada.

30. For a political newcomer to nearly beat a former first lady |
|
backed by a former President would be proof that Obama is the superior candidate and more electable. Clinton has all the advantages in her favor. She should be doing much better than this.

35. We are going into Hollywood to see it tomorrow. |
|
I wish that Upton had gotten more credit than he has because the film is drawn completly from the book "Oil" which is simpy epic and every progressive should read it.
Of course, I am an Upton Sinclair junkie and my college professor had an Upton Newsletter out here in California for decades before he retired up to Santa Cruz.
I've had that sig line on my posts for years here at the DU. I was so pleased to learn that a film was being made. I just wish it would have given more notice to Upton.
Still, I am happy for Mr. Sinclair.

He'll likely win an Oscar. Not sure if it can top No Country For Old Men, though, which was epic.

Hopefully that 5-point "lead" will encourage many independents to finally join the democratic party!
Remember, indies are not included in most of these polls!
