Listen up! I know something that all you bitter rural, religious, gun-toting folks don't know...

US PRESIDENTIAL contender Barack Obama has wiped out his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton's yawning lead in Indiana and trails by just five points in Pennsylvania, according to a new poll.
Ahead of the crunch Pennsylvania primary next Tuesday, the Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll suggested that Senator Obama has not suffered overly from his description of working-class voters as "bitter".
The poll gave the former first lady a lead over Senator Obama of 46 per cent to 41 in Pennsylvania, down from double-digit margins in earlier polls, and also had her losing in both Indiana and North Carolina, which both vote next on May 6.
Analysts say Senator Clinton needs a thumping victory in Pennsylvania next week to persuade Democratic luminaries known as "superdelegates" that Senator Obama, who leads in the overall delegate count, is unelectable against Republican John McCain.
Like Pennsylvania, Indiana is a rust-belt state full of the kind of blue-collar voters that have formed the bedrock of Senator Clinton's support.
Another poll released on Monday by SurveyUSA gave her a 16-point lead there.
But the LA Times poll, conducted from Thursday to Monday at the height of the "bitter" furore, had Senator Obama ahead in Indiana by 40 per cent to 35 for Senator Clinton.
In follow-up interviews with respondents, the newspaper reported, some voters complained that allegations that Senator Obama was elitist, and criticism of fiery sermons by his former pastor, were "sideshows" to serious policy issues.

This is why I don’t trust pollsters. They’re all hucksters. I saw polls yesterday putting Hillary up anywhere from 10 to 18 points over Obama in PA.

She is never going away.
Okay, folks (and Rush), here’s the plan: Hillary loses her bid for the nomination (so don’t help her by voting for her) and goes off into political oblivion. Obama can only motivate limousine leftists to vote for him, so he loses the general. McCain wins and conservatives resume their battle against the RINOs.
Zogby had Obama up by 10 points in CA. Hillary won by 9.6%.
Code Pinkish...
SAME TRICK PULLED IN 1992 CAMPAIGN!
POINTING OUT THAT BARACK IS RUNNING A DISHONEST CAMPAIGN, THAT HE DISDAINS TRADITIONAL AMERICANS, "TYPICAL WHITE PERSON" FLYOVER COUNTRY, AND OUR VALUES, WILL BE CALLED A "SIDESHOW".
Any exposure of the real Barack Obama will be called a 'distraction' from the media-coddling spectacle of his dishonesty campaign.
JUST WATCH. .... "GOT HYPED?"

From your lips to gods ears...
see new tagline.
I guess that this is the same Bloomberg/LA Times Poll that would say that 40% of Americans disagree with what Obama’s gaffe was instead of 56%. Hell, they love him so much they want to do the same thing that they did for Kerry in 2004. Polls might be an OK sample but I bet you that they didn’t go to every Pennsylvanian’s house to ask questions.
The only sure way is through collecting votes though BTW this is where Philadelphia is which had 100+% people voting in 2004. I will imagine that if Obama wins it might be because of voter fraud in Philadelphia. I do believe that every poll shows one thing: Hillary will beat Obama in Pennsylvania no matter what.
He might as well have compared them to the apes at the end of "2001: A Space Odyssey", jumping around aimlessly, worshiping some unknown object from outer space.
You vastly underestimate the power of the MSM to convince unthinking and uneducated voters to vote for the worst possible candidate. The MSM has not even begun to unload on McCain.
OBAMA IS A TRULY DANGEROUS MAN AND HE WILL NOT BE A PUSHOVER IN THE GENERAL ELECTION!!!!!
Neither was John Kerry. Think about it...whoever runs the dems' ticket will be hard to beat. I truly think Hillary is more dangerous than Obama. I guess we'll find out the hard way.
The polls have been volatile the whole primary season on the Rat side.
Shrillary should have been dead in NH but she has bucked the polls several times to live another day.
On the Republican side the polls have generally been somewhat accurate. Not all of them but Rasmussen seems to be the best.
As you know, the Rat voter is taken with emotional sentiment. They vote based on their emotional beliefs. Shrillary has a strong base of the of the older, uneducated, lower earnings voters.
Those are usually very tough to weigh as they don’t always vote. But Shrillary has the hag vote all locked up as they are projecting all their personal baggage to her using her as their salvation.
Then of course their is my buddy’s wife who is a teacher here in NJ. And the loyalty to genitalia reins over any logic whatsoever.
