Drudge Siren: CLINTON INTERNALS SHOW 11-POINT LEAD IN PA

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.

Clinton internals............

A chilly place where no hard anything lurks. Just a chilly tomb with Huma scribed at the approach. A few "Post No Bill's" notices too.

If we're lucky, the Clinton internal polling doesn't take into account the Bradley/Wilder effect. (Do Democrats and liberals lie to opinion pollsters about their racism? Is the Pope German?)

"Some liberal commentators have downplayed the effect of Barack Obama's recent fundraising speech in San Francisco. But that's wishful thinking. Along with the revelations about Obama's pastor Jeremiah Wright, his remarks in San Francisco will haunt him not only in the upcoming primaries in Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky and West Virginia, but also in the general election against John McCain, assuming he gets the Democratic nomination."

"To win in November, a Democratic presidential candidate has to carry most of the industrial heartland states that stretch from Pennsylvania to Missouri. That becomes even more imperative if a Democrat can't carry Florida -- and because of his relative weakness in South Florida, Obama is unlikely to do so against McCain. Ruy Teixeira and I have calculated that in the heartland states, a Democratic presidential candidate has to win 45 to 48 percent of the white working-class vote. In some states, like West Virginia and Kentucky, the percentage is well over a majority."

You can't win a general election with a coalition of America hating Bitter African- Americans and America hating Bitter white liberal elitist billionaires/millionaires, who buy brie, Chardonnay, and expensive rat politicians like the elitist Hussein Obama/Samma.

"Bitter Gate: the gift that keeps on giving!!!

" Crackerquiddick ~ Bitter Gate " and “Wright is wrong Gate” are huge problems for the elitist would be Sneerer in Chief, Hussein Obamasnob!!

For an inside look at the real Hussein Obama and his elite hate America backers at San Francisco where Hussein Obama made his elitist remarks,

Go here to see the thread with all The Pictures posted and Here to see another thread about this meeting of elite left wing America haters.

There are some very interesting pictures and comments re the actual meeting on those threads.

"Hussein Obama’s big mouth, small brain, condescending, America-hating, grandkid-baby-terminating, born-alive-infant-abandoning, America-hating-wife, kooky-moonbat-America-hating-pastor, racially-divisive, race-baiting, crotch-saluting, America-flag-disrespecting ... chickens ... coming home to roost ...!"

Behold the would be Sneerer in Chief!

I wonder if that’s just an attempt to booste morale. Doesn’t matter

Bet on it, but then it will tell a lot of people she will win without their vote. Pure act of desperation!

Obama has handedly captured Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, but has failed to dominate suburban sprawl, the campaign's polling reveals. The Philadelphia and Pittsburg 'burbs are where there's been a huge surge of Republicans crossing over and registering DemonRat for this primary. Looks like Operation CHAOS is working.

“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.”

The Beast is like any candidate. If the rumors are true of the money drying up, then even a relatively close win does nothing to convince her backers to open their wallets again. Technically she needs 65% of the remaining delegates in the states yet to vote. Not likely to happen in PA or anywhere else for that matter.

If PA is not double digits the money will quickly dry up and she will stay for maybe a few more weeks to try to soak up the losers who keep opening their wallets so she doesn’t get stuck with a bill.

You will know this is the case by the lack of shrillness in her campaigning. Now if there is another bomb that lands on Obama, then you’ll know she has released info to key press people and has gone nuclear.

Either way, the Shrill Beast’s time is neigh.

We’ve gotten calls from both the Obama and Clinton campaigns about who we’re going to vote for. I, of course, will vote for neither because I’m a Republican. The calls are really for my husband who is a Democrat, but I’ve answered the phone. The Clinton camp didn’t ask if I was a democrat. They just asked if they could count on my support April 22. I said no. Emphatically. The Obama camp at least asked if I was Mr. Twigs. I said no and they asked me if I knew who he was going to vote for. I said he was going to vote for Hillary which is true. A lot depends on talking to the right person and how the question is asked and followed up.

I never want to see the words ‘clinton internals’ ever again...

Same here, though initially I thought it more fittingly said 'Clinton infernals"...

You realize you just called Pennsylvanians a bunch of xenophobic racist bigots, don’t you?

Just copying their governor, Fast Eddie Rendell, who flat out said Obama couldn't win PA because of that.

Osama really stepped on his crank with his “bitter small town America” comments and it will haunt him all the way to the convention. In some ways I hope Klinton gets the nod, because she is eminently more beatable than Osama. She will galvanize the GOP more than Osama ever would. Any disparaging comments made against Osama will be touted by blacks as nothing but racism, while he is free to say whatever he wants. There is no need to tip toe around Klinton when it comes to exposing her.

Given the rediculous spending that Fauxbama has done here in PA vs HillBilly, even a 5 point win by HillBilly should make any Democrat recognize that Fauxbama has no chance of winning a general.

I think its a double digit win for HillBIlly... Fauxbama’s comments were beyond stupid and he couldn’t get closer than 5 points to HillBilly before he made them... That comment will cost him easily 5+ more points.

Amazing, isn’t it, that the dhimmirats just don’t understand how their condescending arrogance is insulting. They think it’s just “what is”, because that’s all they hear in their lefthanded circlejerks.

“How much of a ‘bump’ is the media giving her?”

Quite a bit. If she wins PA 60% to 40% (20 point spread) it would give her a net gain of 32 delegates.

A win with a 15 point spread would gain her 22 or 23 delegates. A more likely 10 point victory would net her a whopping 13 delegate gain.

She needs 100 to 150 to just catch up to Obama.

Am I missing something? The media is just hyping this to make it sound exciting.

The math for Obama is impossible as well. Neither can win without Superdelegates. It is just assumed that they will be willing to vote against Mrs. Clinton, but not be willing to vote against Barack Obama.

I think any polling will significantly overstate Barack Obama’s support. So against all logic and reason, I am predicting a 15-point victory by Mrs. Clinton tomorrow.
