It ain't over yet!

The latest pre-primary polls suggest that Hillary Clinton has faint hopes of stalling Barack Obama's march to the Democratic nomination.
Obama had been leading by double digits in Oregon, where he expects to win on Tuesday, enabling him to declare victory in the pledged delegate race and perhaps sew up the nomination.
But the latest polls in Oregon show Clinton within striking distance. Obama leads 45 percent to 41 percent with 8 percent undecided and 6 percent refusing a response, according to a Suffolk University survey released this morning. An American Research Group survey puts Obama's lead at 50 percent to 45 percent.
Obama, however, appears to be confident of victory. Today, he does not plan to campaign in Oregon, instead stumping in Montana, which votes June 3. He has already scheduled a huge outdoor victory rally Tuesday night in Iowa, a battleground state in November and where his victory in the January caucuses propelled him to the front of the pack.
Clinton, on the other hand, continues to lead handily in every poll in Kentucky, which also votes Tuesday. In a Suffolk survey released today, she leads Obama 51 percent to 25 percent, followed by John Edwards with 6 percent, "uncommitted" with 5 percent, while 11 percent were undecided.
But she isn't taking any chances and hopes to win big enough to cut into Obama's lead in the total popular vote, campaigning all day in the Bluegrass State. She plans her primary night rally in Louisville.
The tale of two states voting Tuesday demonstrates again the demographic divide in the Democratic race -- blue-collar voters for Clinton, more affluent and more educated voters for Obama.

It ain't over yet!
Let’s get out there and make a really Big CHAOS!
How dare those racist Oregonians refuse to vote for the Obamessiah?
Sad day in America, when I can almost say I’d vote for her over the other two candidates!!!
IMPOSSIBLE!! I saw the photograph of OBAMA and his 80,000 strong cult.
Obama gets 70,000 to a rally in Portland and Hillary has to go to a small town for appearances. She’ll get clobbered in OR.
Look, I am sure His Holiness the Obama will win Oregon. The Drive Bys have declared him to be the One We’ve Been Waiting For.
Hillary all the way to Denver!
If Obama limps into the Convention after losing 12 of the last 13 contests, he would have a hard time arguing that he is the strongest candidate.
Of course, it was hard to see last week that Hillary might have a shot in Oregon. It would have been a bold move to challenge there.
I gotta say, Clinton's February collapse will go down as the biggest political fumble in modern history. She is a stronger candidate in every way, and it was negligent in the extreme that her campaign was so ill-equipped to deal with the contests after Super Duper Tuesday.
Patti Solis Doyle will be remembered forever as the Bill Buckner of American politics.
Notice, not ONE American flag is the crowd.
I openly admit I haven’t been following Oregon closely, so I don’t know if I should take this poll as meaningful, or if it is just the press trying to create interest to sell more papers/keep more people watching.
However, if HillBilly does somehow manage to pull out a win, or even make it very close in Oregon, a bastion of elite liberalism, where Fauxbama should be strongest... Then there is no doubt left to anyone with a few neurons firing that is honest with themselves (a hard trait to find in rabid leftists) that Fauxbama will not only lose the general election, but will lose it by margins competing with McGovern.
ALL THE WAY TO DENVER BABY!!!
“Look, I am sure His Holiness the Obama will win Oregon. The Drive Bys have declared him to be the One We’ve Been Waiting For.”
Or the ONE some have been waiting for.... to climb out of a well, and destroy the evil dhimmis.
Arrogant little bugger, isn't he?
Not Oregon?
Pretty arrogant, not to mention rude.
It really says something about dems that there’s not one American flag in sight.
Oops. I should have read all the posts first. I said the same thing.
Oregon may turn out closer than some are predicting. In addition to Operation Chaos, a local radio host (Victoria Taft) has been promoting a similar effort (”Democrat for a Day”) to get Republicans to vote for Hillary in the primary.
Arrogant little bugger, isn't he?
I’ve SEEN IT! I CAN’T UN-SEE IT!
Sadly, our nominee says the same things.
Clinton’s not going to bail before the convention. Especially if she keeps it close. And all the crossing of fingers and wishing by the Left and their media minions will not make that change.
Ted Kennedy went to the 1980 convention down 700 delegates and still almost pulled out the nomination from a sitting president. The Clintons can lose nothing by trying this.
No. Similar, but he’s not threatening to ration our food, fuel and heat. Yet.
GOD! WHAT A PICTURE OF A MANIACAL DESPOT!!
“What is she saying, pray tell?
PPPLLEEAASSEE! No matter your thoughts, McCain is a Billion, Trillion, Quatrillion times better than either of Demorat Traitors and Hate America Mongers!..:-)
B.O. HUSSEIN(alias barack,barry,etc,) loves holding his crotch when others hold their Heart at Patriotic Moments!! says something about the person, doesn’t it!!!! What a pathetic excuse for a candidate this porker really is!..:-(
and it was negligent in the extreme that her campaign was so ill-equipped to deal with the contests after Super Duper Tuesday.
And so how does she think she can run a country?
She blames sleep deprivation on whether or not she can remember if she was fired upon. She says they ran with their heads ducked down to their cars when we all saw her walking calmly and enjoying in the welcome cermeony that she said was moved inside (which was not) and...was cancelled (which was not.
She doesn’t know what is going on in her own household right under her nose
She says she would be ready when the phone rings in the middle of the night yet she and her husband can’t stay awak at the funeral service of a great man like Ronald Reagan and once again sleep deprived.
She can’t remember or recall things that she said or did when confronted with an controversial issue. She has one terrible memory doesn’t she?
She agreed with Spitzer (and we all know him dont’ we?) to give illegals driver’s licenses then tried to lie her way out of it.
She’s a phony, fake and power hungry woman.
Obama in Oregon. “We can’t drive our SUVs, and eat as much as we want, and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times and then just expect that other countries are going to say okay”. Why not?
A narrow win by Obama in Oregon isn’t going to close the deal. More popcorn, please.
Still take obama over hilllelreee. Anyday, anytime. We’ve lived those clintin years, scandals, etc...no thanks. No more.
“Oregon may turn out closer than some are predicting. In addition to Operation Chaos, a local radio host (Victoria Taft) has been promoting a similar effort (”Democrat for a Day”) to get Republicans to vote for Hillary in the primary.”
Even the rat party is fairly conservative when one gets away from Portland, Eugene, Ashland and other left wing enclaves.
Could we have ever imagined the day we’d be rooting for Hillary. I fear for our nation in either case. But, I do believe she’d be worlds better than Obama and also better than the HE-DEVIL she’s married to was in office.
Still more Clinton-loving KAOS idiocy.
Bump dat, Gramps.
I’m a proud member of OC, and Dem for a Day.
I voted for Hillary... lol
