Smiles and Cries said:why are we getting all cranky over some poll data? A poll is a poll so what if that company has gotten it wrong 8 out of 10 times no need to get upset because some people want to believe them this time around.
before you get angry, just ask yourself what would Obama do?
New for me. It also helps me breathe easier. Perhaps it was smart for Pelosi not to take sides - it gives her more weight as mediator.Sharp said:
those Texas numbers comes from one of the more inaccurate pollsters this election cycle. most of the big guns report Hillary at least with an 8% lead in Texas.PhoenixDark said:Anyone see this?
Seems increasingly likely that Edwards will stay neutral - unless the party elders decide it's time to shut Clinton up.At a private dinner that Mr. Edwards, a former senator, held at his home last Saturday for a dozen close friends, he said he had spoken recently with Mr. Gore about the benefits of neutrality, someone who was at the dinner said. Although a number of his supporters had been urging him to endorse Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton has actively sought his backing, Mr. Edwards said he intended to remain on the fence for the time being, the person said.
At least he isn't endorsing Clinton like he was thinking about.Zeed said:Found this little bit interesting:

I am a 70-year-old retiree and I think John McCain is well passed it. My generation has had its chance, and we screwed it up and elected Bush. Obama represents and embodies the future: give him the reins of government and let the old coots (like me) head out to pasture where we belong
That's just awesome! I like to see this Hillary Texas Firewall crumble.syllogism said:Houston Chronicle, the largest daily newspaper (circulation 500,000+) in Texas, endorsed Obama. As far as I know, Hillary doesn't have any newspaper endorsements in Texas. These endorsements may not have significant impact but every bit helps and so far the following papers in Texas have endorsed Obama:
- Austin Chronicle
- Austin-American Statesman
- BurntOrangeReport
- Dallas Morning News
- El Paso Times
- La Opinion
- San Antonio's Express-News
- Houston Chronicle
SEIU has authorized independent spending of up to $5 million on Obama's behalf in Ohio and Texas, says a labor source in one of those states and another insider.
The SEIU is serious about this. Just check out their homepage.syllogism said:That's a lot of money in just two states

Obama Austin HQ Opening!Rur0ni said:
Good morning, folks! Welcome to the liveblog of the grand opening of Obama's headquarters in Austin, Texas! I'll be reporting to you live from the festivities all morning. Special greetings to those of you new to DailyKos!
"It doesn't matter how much good you did," the former president said at Stephen F. Austin University. "We've got to get rid of you because you had to fight to make something good happen. You had to fight to stop something bad from happening. And if you fought, you made somebody mad, we ought to give you an old watch and retire you. You can't possibly make a contribution to America's future."
Without mentioning Obama by name, Clinton said the Illinois senator was promoting a position that it's "actually an advantage to not have any experience because you've not made anybody mad."
"It's been very effective," Clinton said. "It's already taken four good candidates out. It would have taken Hillary out if she didn't have so much grass-roots support and so much guts."

Bill needs to shut up. Obama is torching Hillary right now, and has ALL the momentum. It'll change on March 4th but even then she won't be the frontrunner
According to Rassmussen Obama had HUGE momentum after Virgina but it has slowly eroded.PhoenixDark said::lol
