CLINTON INTERNALS SHOW 11-POINT LEAD IN PA
Mon Apr 21 2008 11:10:14 ET
**Exclusive**
Controlled excitement is building inside of Clinton's inner circle as closely guarded internal polling shows the former first lady with an 11-point lead in Pennsylvania!
Clinton is polling near to nearly 2 to 1 over Obama in many regions of the state, a top insider explained to the DRUDGE REPORT.
A strong coalition of middle-class and religious voters has all but secured a Clinton victory Tuesday, with headline-making margins, the campaign believes.
"It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of how much," a senior campaign source said Monday morning.
When pressed if the dramatic internal polling numbers could somehow be flawed in a state as demographically complex as Pennsylvania, and with new voter registration surging to unseen levels, the campaign insider held firm.
"Senator Obama would be wise not to unpack his bags quite yet."

With less than 24 hours to go until the beginning of the end of primary season voting, Obama has handedly captured Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, but has failed to dominate suburban sprawl, the campaign's polling reveals.
An 11-point victory in Pennsylvania for Clinton would expand on margins scored in Ohio.
Clinton will quickly move to feverishly focus on Indiana starting Tuesday night, hoping to somehow convince superdelegates that she not only has superior stamina but has crucial swing state appeal.
Without superdelegate intervention, Clinton still faces impossible math to nomination.
Developing...
If Klinton wins the PA primary it just means we will have to refill the popcorn bowl. I love watching these two tear each other’s flesh off the bone and the more they do it, the more they fragment the demonrat party and the weaker it makes them.
As Col. Hannibal Smith from the A Team always used to say....”I love it when a plan comes together”
I wonder if that’s just an attempt to booste morale. Doesn’t matter. Win or lose she’ll NEVER drop out. Her big play will be behind closed doors at the convention, out of sight of the press and delegates.
I hope this is true. These two losers continuing to beat each other up is golden.

Breaking News: Poll shows Clinton maintains lead 8:33 a.m.
By BORYS KRAWCZENIUK / STAFF WRITER
For the third week in a row, a Quinnipiac University poll shows New York Sen. Hillary Clinton with a solid lead in Pennsylvania over Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.
In a poll of 1,027 likely Democratic voters conducted Friday through Sunday, Mrs. Clinton led Mr. Obama by a 51 percent to 44 percent margin, up a point from 50-44 last week.
White voters back Mrs. Clinton 57 percent to 38 percent, while blacks back Mr. Obama 84 to 10 percent, the Quinnipiac poll found.
Women back Mrs. Clinton 57 percent to 38 percent, while men are for Mr. Obama 53 percent to 42 percent; white Catholics are for Mrs. Clinton 66 percent to 29 percent; voters under 45 go with Mr. Obama 57 percent to 41 percent, while older voters back Mrs. Clinton 54 percent to 40 percent.
Looks like “da white folk” don’t care for Rev. Wrong’s racism or Obama’s “bitterness.”
Her big play will be behind closed doors at the convention, out of sight of the press and delegates.
:::::::
It is standard procedure for the Clinton mob — just ask Vince Foster, et al.
She’s not going to win PA by 5 or 6.
More like 12 or 14.
Many Pennsylvania Democrats, I believe, were looking for an excuse to vote against the black candidate with the Arabic/Muslim name.
Foolishly, he gave them an excuse to vote against him that had nothing to do with race or religion, and now they have “cover,” a kind of salve for their own consciences.
How much of a ‘bump’ is the media giving her?
“Go Pat Go”
I never want to see the words ‘clinton internals’ ever again...
You realize you just called Pennsylvanians a bunch of xenophobic racist bigots, don’t you?
If she does win by 55-45 or more I wonder if this will give some Dems pause because they think it will mean trouble with Obama on top of the ticket in Nov. It will be difficult for them to take the presidency without PA.
A couple of days ago they were discussing the Witch’s performance in PA vs. Ohio. They said her PA peformance is closely paralleling her Ohio performance, with her starting out a week before the elction with about a 5 point lead in the polls, then coming on strong and winning with about a ten point margin. They also said the demographics of the two states were quite similar, meaning she has a good chance of pulling out a ten point, or slightly more, win in PA.
If she does it, the popcorn stocks are going to boom.
It does sound possible if the ‘undecided’ losers go 2-1 for the Beast of Shrillary which in all likelihood they will.
I think though it will be in the 7-9 point range in the end. 11 points would be on the high side.
And this clearly has been leaked by the Shrill One to Drudge. He’s running with it which is what they want of course. The bandwagon effect is now in play.
HillBilly hurt herself making a joke of her bosnia claims on TV.. but then Fauxbama did something even stupider with his clinging elitist statements.
I say 10+ point victory in PA for her.
I did not.
I referred to Democrats in Pennsylvania.
This will certainly keep her in the race, and it will almost certainly keep the remaining superdelegates on the fence. If she wins by +5% tomorrow, in PA, then you can guarantee it's going to be a long ride to the convention...and what happens at the convention will make 1968 look like a school yard fracas.
This is almost too good to be true.
Does the poll include those enrolled in Operation Chaos???
