Every week there is at least one article --- Obama beats Clinton in new poll... Clinton trails Obama against McCain in new poll... Clinton beats Obama in new poll on economy....Obama beats Clinton in new poll on war...
blah blah blah
Here's this week's announcement
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23918341/
This one was interesting to me because it addresses Ohio and Florida as two key states in the General election. In the end I think Michigan will be the key state this time around, but I don't disagree that these two states are critical for a democratic win in November.
So I ask... What do you think of this article? does it change your mind about which candidate you support? why or why not?
Personally, it made me think. It doesn't change my mind about who I support but it did make me look a little closer as to why I support them.
****and for those of you getting ready to caucus again on April 5th... remember, you are not locked into the candidate you are a delegate for... it is your job to vote on the principles of the people who elected you to be their delegate...changing your mind does not abandon them IF you change because of what they told you was important and you believe a different candidate fits those priorities more accurately. ****

When I went to my states caucus people said "I voted for Obama because the newest poll says he can beat McCain"... or they said "I voted for Clinton because the latest poll says she is the best for the economy."
I don't understand why the polls have such a STRONG effect on things.
Does that mean that when I go to be a delegate this weekend and cast my next vote that I need to change my vote because the new polls say Clinton can beat McCain in the 'swing states' or that I need to change my vote because Pennsylvania is starting to think Obama is better for the economy?
*sigh*
I really don't get it.
It was an error to disenfranchise Michigan and Florida with regard to their delegates. When this decision was made, it effectively took Hillary Clinton out of the running. Any issues with the Democratic leadership of those states could have been sorted out AFTER the Democrats had won the White House. Pride was foolishly placed ahead of unity.
