Tied

Mar 25th, 2008 at 11:38 am by Susie

I don’t think people really appreciate the uniqueness of what’s going on here: there are two Democratic candidates who are almost precisely tied. They’ve won nearly equal numbers of delegates; they’ve won nearly equal portions of the popular vote; and for two nearly two months straight they’ve polled within three or four points of each other. Two months! All this new information, all the spitballs, all the ads, all the spin, and both candidates have held on to almost precisely the same level of support they had right after Super Tuesday. That’s remarkable.

There’s no need to make this more complicated than it is. The Democratic Party has two candidates with almost eerily similar levels of support, and that support is deep and strong for both of them. That’s a recipe for a long campaign season no matter what the primary schedule looks like.

Tied? Really? If they were actually tied then either would still have a mathematical chance at victory. Which hrc doesn’t. Typical clinton tactic of repeating something enough to help people believe it to be true. (see bosnia, nafta, and Ireland)…

She is now being described as needing to become “Tonya Harding” to even sustain any chance at the dem nomination.

A poll today showed Clinton’s lead in PA to be 10 points (down from 20 just three weeks ago) — no one really expects OB to win PA (hrc continual dogwhistles to white racist trash notorious PA populace) but we all need to remember the goal posts were set at 20 points.
