After his strong showing in the debate last night, I expect the trend to continue. It will still be damn close come Tuesday!

Clonod: YES WE CAN

Are you a white woman?

He has a huge amount of momentum right now. I have a feeling that Hillary is in for a rather rude awakening on Super Tuesday.

It's still a long shot at anything decisive on Super Tuesday. Predictions are that they will both get 30% of the votes and split the delegates -- pretty much across all states.

looks to me like all the big names (Gore, Edwards, Richardson) are going to wait and see what Super Tuesday brings. no one wants to be on the losing side of this one.

Let this post serve as my official endorsement of Barack Obama for President of the United States of America.

So let it be written, so shall it be done.

He does seem to have the Big Mo right now and the enthusiasm for his campaign is huge but you can never really tell

Of course they still ignore the fact that Mike Gravel has 1%.
Damn MSM! Everyone knows Ron Paul is a nutter, but Gravel has the rocks!

Where the white women at?

Hey-oh!

My 10th greenlight of the last 30 days and my first time getting two greenlights in a single day.

Do I get a free TF account? :p

keithgabryelski: Who is next?

Edwards himself isn't making moves, but his delegates are. (new window)

along with Chuck Rangel's wife (new window) (another family fued eh?)

Every little bit helps!

keithgabryelski: It's still a long shot at anything decisive on Super Tuesday.

Agreed.

Tuesday will run up the numbers, but I don't think either side will call it quits. The end game is going to be in the DC regional on Feb. 12th and with Texas and Ohio on March 4.

GObama!

I wrote my boomer parents last night with my endorsement of Obama, encouraging them to vote for him. They are undecided in Maryland, a state in which the primary has become a bit more important recently. Hopefully it will sway them.

I on the other hand, live in WV. Where the primaries aren't until May. By that point the candidate will probably have been decided, but I'll still write in Obama.

Actually, I already gave to the Obama campaign, months ago. But keep up the good work, man! You rock!

Those are yesterday's numbers. If the trend continues, expect the gap to narrow further today.

And I'm right. The new numbers just came out. The gap is now 3%.

Just saw that on MSNBC (I stayed home today to fark and ... well... just fark).

along with Chuck Rangel's wife (another family fued eh?)

Yeah, there's an awkward dinner situation.

Although Mary Matalin and James Carville seem to manage.

I gotta think Rangel is regretting (in some way) his decision to chose
sides so early.

I love looking at those graphs. Now if I plot those curves to continue for the next five days...

/wishful thinking, i know
//but damn.
///O8bama!

Shaggy_C: Edwards himself isn't making moves, but his delegates are.

Actually, thats a bit misleading. Edwards didn't concede, he "suspended" his campaign. What that means is he gets to keep the delegates he's already picked up through the primaries. They can't ditch him until he officially quits.

The super-delegates, however, are free to do whatever.

I'd love to do both, but being in Canada prevents me from doing so.

My endorsement of Obama comes only in saying I endorse him, and by giving keithgabryelski publicity. DONATE, because I can't!

supposedly the edwards' supporters split 25% for Obama, 40% for Clinton -- which doesn't match that graph.

I believe you are allowed to buy stuff from the Obama official store though, and that money still goes to his campaign.

None taken, thanks for the assist.

supposedly the edwards' supporters split 25% for Obama, 40% for Clinton -- which doesn't match that graph.
Those numbers are from a poll taken at the beginning of January before the primaries began. I believe it was by Yahoo, but I'm not sure who they worked with. At any rate, alot of time for opinions to change.

as much as I like the news, my guess is that that number will change after the next poll. I think Hillary acted like less of a coont at last night's debate, so she might win back some of the people who were turned off after watching the SC debate.

supposedly the edwards' supporters split 25% for Obama, 40% for Clinton -- which doesn't match that graph.

That was based on old exit polls asking Edwards people who their second choice was. I mean, obviously that only adds to 65% and it isn't like the other 35% are staying home.

One would think that Hillary has more than established herself as what she is, so if 60% don't put her as second choice they are probably leaning towards Obama or waiting to make sure he has substance.

ie... they probably have a low bar for Obama to get over to swing his way.

FeedTheCollapse: as much as I like the news, my guess is that that number will change after the next poll. I think Hillary acted like less of a coont at last night's debate, so she might win back some of the people who were turned off after watching the SC debate.

the focus group afterward could not disagree with you more.

Both did well in the debate, but I honsetly feel like Obama won... because he wins anytime they both give equal perfromances.

People already know Hillary. If they don't like her by now, they probably never will. Obama has a low bar to jump over to get support.

Also, the big things going for Hillary are:

a) people thought her win was inevitable
b) they think she is more of a policy wonk and that Obama is light on substance
c) that she is more electable.

Obama did a good job last night show
a) Well... it isn't inevitable since they are neck and neck, he didn't need to shwo anything
b) He IS a policy wonk as well and can go toe-to-toe with her on the policy details
c) He is more electable than she is in a race against John McCain.

There seems to be a very vocal group of Obama supporters on Fark.

/that works for me.

Bill Frist c) that she is more electable.

In what universe is Hilary more electable than Obama. The only reason she has a chance at the primaries is because old people are afraid of Obama because he is new, and Mexicans hate black people. I don't know why. They just do.

Amongst people who know their shiat, it is clear she is NOT more electable.

I agree 100%.

But a lot of her supporters are under some delusion that she is more electable and she has been playing that up ("I'm used to republican attacks, I can withstand them, Obama will get beat up" yada yada)

Cool -- I matched a lot of people who donated just before or around the time I announced the $3.01 campaign. I'm now looking to match people that are compelled to donate BECAUSE of the matching.

If you donate again, please consider my campaign -- also, spread the word to your friends,
maybe one of them will donate when they otherwise wouldn't.

I believe in Barack Obama.

/back from phonebanking and door-to-door for the campaign...yes, I feel good about my output today

Nice! I'm heading to see him tomorrow night in St. Louis. He's speaking at the dome in which the Rams play. I'm curious to see how many people he draws. Missouri is a major bellweather state, and St. Louis city is extremely Democrat. A huge turnout could indicate big things next Tuesday, knock on wood.

CravenMorehead: He has a huge amount of momentum right now. I have a feeling that Hillary is in for a rather rude awakening on Super Tuesday.

Take the Source with a grain of salt but here's a very interesting analysis of the competing Hillary-Obama trendlines (new window).

The short answer is if Hillary were the Incumbent and Barack the Challenger in a normal electoral race, most professional pollsters would now be regarding Barack as the odds-on favorite to win because, while he's behind numerically, his numbers show greater momentum which translates to enthusiasm which can drive turn out.

Hey robsul82, when you go door to door, what do you say to the people? I'm just curious. What od you say to Repub's, Hillary supporters, etc.... Do you have 6 different scripts like the Mormons do?

Hang On Voltaire: He does seem to have the Big Mo right now

I hadn't heard anything about Barney Frank endorsing Obama.
