Projection: Disappointment
|
|
INDIANA
Hillary Clinton wins the north-eastern populus catholic South Bend, Notre Dame population as well as the southern conservative Louisville population. In addition, she gets the republican Limbaugh vote. While this may be expected by "analyst projections" it takes an unexpected chunk out of the youth and grad vote which normally votes Obama.
NORTH CAROLINA
Hillary Clinton performs well in the mountainous south and the Bubba vote. In addition, she gets a big boost from the research triangle of conservative methodist/Quaker Duke University and University of North Carolina.
RESULT
Two victories for Clinton. It is not out of the realm of possibility even if the polls say NC is a definite 10 point Obama state.
The questions hang mostly over NC. Can Obama win the research triangle vote solely on the basis of the black vote, and if so does that play down the nature of his victory. The Duke population is the same population as suburban Philadelphia and a blend of pacifist and activist.
Who's really going to be disappointed in this one?

And I say that as a white female semi-retired with higher eduacation...
You know I really get fed up with this crap about Obama getting the educated vote....how is it that there are so many highly educated voting for Hillary then...BS,MS,PHD,MBA and others...
Polls don't tell it the way it really is....
Unless of course me and those I know make up such a minority HUH !!!!!!

He is too closely tied to terrorists, reverse racism, radical muslim, and home grown terrorist.
THIS MAN SHOULD NOT BE ANYWHERE NEAR THE WHITEHOUSE!!
But to the point of view of MOB when Clinton wins it is always a narrow win. When Obama wins it's a landslide. Polls don't count! Number are what matters! When Obama started catching up in PA it was a strong mandate for Obama but when Clinton closes the gap in IN and NC its an anomaly.
Well at the end of the day no matter who barely wins (and that is how I see it) we will still be without a REAL winner. The numbers aren't going to change much because we don't have a winer takes all system.
This is going to come down to a bunch of gutless Stupid Delegates (put in place by who?) who will vote only to preserve their options in the future. To hell with the voters! It has been planned all along and we fell into the trap.
We need a viable recall system to get these pandering delegates the hell out of the system. Also the voters in each state should be allowed to recall their representatives who do not support them. e.g. Kennedy and Kerry! There are probably some on the Clinton side as well.
Remember that democrat in California that was recalled and the terminator became gov? It seems that California is better off now than they were then but he works with both parties, will our winner?
