Re: Obama expands lead over Hillary in California
I really think he's gonna pull off the upset. If someone like me is considering a vote change(and I have been pretty anti Obama), then there are probably thousands of others in each state also considering changing their vote at the last minute.
Re: Obama expands lead over Hillary in California
Here's something from The Baltimore Sun today.
"An opinion survey released over the weekend by the respected Field organization showed Obama surging to within two percentage points of Clinton, who owed her edge to heavy support from Hispanics. That poll was conducted before Maria Shriver, the highly popular wife of Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and a member of the Kennedy family, endorsed Obama at a rally in Los Angeles with Oprah Winfrey.
In a hypothetical California matchup against McCain in the general election, Obama would carry the state, which has one-fifth of the electoral votes needed to win the presidency, according to the Field poll. Clinton and McCain were statistically tied."
Bottom line. All these polls are going this direction. Obama gaining, Hilary standing pat or losing ground. It means three things, possibly: Obama is getting John Edwards' voters; undecided voters are making up their mind and going for Obama; people are jumping off Hilary's sinking ship.
By the way, Hilary cried at a campaign stop today, so that tells you right there they are desperate. She's trying the New Hampshire strategy all over again.
Re: Obama expands lead over Hillary in California
He is definitely getting the Edwards vote, and it looks like its gonna sway the primaries in his favor. Edwards was averaging 15-16% in every state. Obama has went up 12% in the polls, while Hillary went up 4%. Thats just the Edwards factor. Count in people willing to change at the last minute, people hearing about her health care plan, people tired of her fake crying,list goes on and on.
Also, dems HAVE to win California or they don't go to the white house. Not just because CA is the big enchilada, but because the CA victory offsets the republican states in the South. You can always tell when a republican candidate/president is gonna win an election in a landslide based on California numbers alone. For Obama/Hillary to win, California can not be in play for the republicans. If its a dead heat between McCain and Hillary at the moment, then obviously Obama is the best choice.

Obama is all hype and rhetoric. I really hope he doesn't win tomorrow.
