Running Primaries Thread

Great. Texas gets to feel even more important about itself.

What will the rest of America do with all of its vomit?

 

But, fortunately, Lyndon Johnson lost his 1948 U. S. Senate race in a tight one, thus sparing us the . . . oh . . . wait.

FRAUD!

And THEN, of course, we've been blessed with . . .

 

The Latino vote will deliver Texas for Hillary. It is a closed primary, so no GOP crossover vote to skew the outcome. Obama should do better in Ohio; I'm not ready to put the Buckeye State in her column yet. Or Pennsylbama, either.

 

Didn't Obama do very well with Hispanics in the last primaries?

That combined with HRC firing her Latina campaign manager and several prominent Hispanic leaders supporting might make it a closer count, right? Of course, I defer to the esteemed Texicans on the board on this matter.

 

I have a feeling that Pennsylvania might be like a reverse New Hampshire with HRC leading but then not being able to close the deal.

They like to say that Pennsylvania is Philly and Pittsburgh with Alabama in the middle. Obama will do very well in the cities and remember who won Alabama and most of the other southern states.

Also, look what Obama did in Maryland, a very similar electorate to southeastern/south central Pennsylvania.

 

Will only note that current polls are brutal. It's no accident HRC's in Texas, pounding the pavement. She feels better about OH and PA than the home of Lyndon and Fredo.

 

Polls seem irrelevant to me re: Texas, since the delegate-selection process there apparently was designed by crazy people.

 

The Quinnipiac poll was taken before the Virginia and Maryland blowout and before either campaign got to the state. The Rasmussen poll, taken the day after the Potomac, shows Clinton ahead by 14. My guess is Rasmussen is more accurate.

Rasmussen also shows Obama up 12 nationally, which seems awfully high. So who knows?

 

I don't buy that, at all. Not a little bit.

 

If you're talking about all two dozen Hispanic voters in Virginia, I suppose so (by a 54-46 margin). I exaggerate, but it's not much of a sample size. Texas is second to California in total number of Latino voters and is comparable in percentage of population, and we saw how that went. Obama has a long way to go and a short time to get there to organize the same type of inroads Hillary has withn this community.

As far as endorsements go ... one word: Teddy.

 

NOT a plus.

 

Romney is going to endorse McCain today, CNN is reporting.
