  6. meanwhile we are electing delegates here. We elected our Obama delegates today in Newport News. And some of our Clinton Del. said they would switch if the could.

  7. We are electing delgates on Monday and didn’t have any committed Clinton delegates. Luckily, we have Obama supporters who are willing to represent her in the caucus for the good of the party!

  8. If it’s a rolling, three-day tracking poll and Obama had a 8 point lead on Wednesday, then it’s too volatile to say she has actually gained anything. When you look at ALL of the different polls and do the numbers, he has not lost anything against her despite all the garbage she has thrown at him, and in fact, he has slowly gained ground over the last two weeks. He’s not leading her by 19 like Newsweek says, and she hasn’t tied him. But it’s obvious it’s over for her.

    He’s picking up superdelegates on her and she is not moving any different segments other than what she has had thus far — older white women and some rednecks. She has nowhere to break through at this point, and she has not given voters a real reason to vote for her that makes sense or is believable anymore. She’s toast.

  10. linda b & greg o – what’s your point? We had no trouble filling our Clinton delegate slots in Norfolk. What does that have to do with the poll?

    Gulls – hate to say it but you’re showing your ignorance of the significance of a daily tracking poll versus a static one, not to mention the fact that superdelegates are not a part of this equation. I think you know better than that.

  11. It’s not a case of ignorance, in fact, I’m pointing out just that — a daily tracking poll shows very little movement of SIGNIFICANCE. Obama might have seen a shift of 8 points in 48 hours, but that can depend on many factors that change and it means very little. If Monday’s poll shows a shift back with Obama picking up 10 points, does that really mean anything? Of course not, and that’s the point — the significance of a tracking poll versus a static one. Tracking means something for about 10 minutes. And no, superdelegates are not a part of this, and no one said they were. But they will have more say in this than any poll, and she’s not going to be able to swing it. Everyone knows better than that.

  12. Sounds like more Obama whining going on here…ABC was mean to Obama….Hillary is mean to Obama….Hillary should stop fighting and quit…..only the polls that are good for guy are the ones that are accurate or important.

    Just wait for Hillary to impressively win 7 of the remaining 10 contests and the dynamics will change as Hillary has chalked up more primary votes than Obama.

    Gull….on behalf of all the bitter typical white people supporting Hillary, thanks for the redneck crack. Just more Obama elitism at work and thanks for making our point for us. Those elderly, lunch bucket working stiffs and professional woman are not important. After all, you have Hope, $5 Starbucks while we just cling to our convictions for no good reason.

  13. To prove gull’s point, Obama has moved on up passed clinton again.

    NND-You seem to have almost prophetic like abilities…in order to call these contests with such authority.

  14. VIV, the point here is we are electing delegates to the convention to nominate either obama or clinton. The gallup poll is irrelevant.
    You have to have the delegates to be nominated, not a gallup poll.
    And today Obama is up by two. So what has that got to do with anything but spin.
    Aren’t you a delegate??
    Things like the popular vote may matter but not these polls, especially gallup. Even CNN doesn’t use them anymore.
