Uhh ohh... Obama's drop in the poll numbers seems to have reversed... I guess the Clinton campaign won't be getting their 27%+ victories over Obama that they were planning on to catch up.

[underpants]

1. There are black people there

oh AND it is irrelevant

:sarcasm:

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

12. Bill, is that you?

[rainbow4321]

24. Bill prefers the phrase "young and urban voters"

Least that is what he was spouting off while he was down here in TX stumping for HRC....as in "how many adjectives/words can I use to talk about black voters without using the word black"? It was in a rant about it was harder for HRC to attract "urban and young voters".

[TheDonkey]

41. Classic.

[theredpen]

19. But did Jesse Jackson win that state?

:sarcasm:

[krkaufman]

30. chuckle! n/t

[MaraJade]

39. Whether you believe it or not, there are millions of blacks. . .

including "Man-Man, Ray-Ray, Pookie, Kiana, and Big Momma" who are voting for the first
time in this election simply because Obama is black. . .

And, before you "go there," I AM BLACK, a proud daughter of the 54th Massachusetts Colored
Infantry (Civil War), with an nearly 200 year family history of patriotism and service to this
nation.

With the "ghetto set" being mustered to vote I can believe that
I can believe that Obama will do okay there. . .

[SoFlaJet]

2. very encouraging

and with Liargate about to kick in this weekend we can expect those numbers to rise

[Noirceuil]

3. Still clinging to hope I see...

Weren't you the one predicting doom and gloom for Hillary in Texas and Ohio?

[BonnieJW]

9. Obama won Texas

[knixphan]

13. yep!

[mckeown1128]

18. I predicted exactly what happened...

Hillary made herself less likely to get the nomination because of how she did in Texas and Ohio...

[Cha]

27. Take off your blinders...Obama WON

TEXAS!

[PoliticalAmazon]

4. After Hillary's sniper lie, her candidacy is over. The GOP would cream her. n/t

[Catherina]

5. It's a sexist state

:sarcasm:

[papau]

6. half the white vote per poll is 33 out of her 34 - so she gets 3% of black vote? - racist???

[democrattotheend]

11. huh?

[TAWS]

17. If you actually bothered reading the poll, she got 14% of the black vote

[Johnny__Motown]

7. North Carolina won't count., neither will Indiana

[slick8790]

8. Good trend.

Although one of the poll questions depresses me.

"If John Edwards endorsed Hillary Clinton,
would it make you more likely or less likely to
vote for Clinton, or would it not make a
difference?"

12% more likely
31% less likely.

Meh. I still like you, John.

[FlyingSquirrel]

10. Pollster chart

[stillcool]

34. looks like that boomerang thing..

[crankychatter]

14. thanks... i needed dat

The American people are amazing even when marginally informed.

[gcomeau]

15. Not sure how much I trust this.

Obama is clearly and undeniably in the lead in NC, which is like the 10th nail in the coffin of the Clinton campaign since they need a blowout in NC (and every other remaining state) to have even a slim hope of swaying the supers and it's never going to happen, but PPP is the same polling company that had Hillary up by 26 in Pennsylvania a couple days ago before Rasmussen came out today with her only up by 10. I'm not sure how reliable their results are, I have a suspicion their methodology exaggerates trends.

[thevoiceofreason]

38. I liked the analysis that noted the bad numbers for Obama

Were during spring break

[Sick_of_Rethuggery]

16. Not to worry.

She is right back on cue, injecting "I would not have stayed in that church" filth into the stream -- this is her plan b...

[loveangelc]

20. too little too late.

she should have commented on it last week...

[Mudoria]

21. Win NC in May and lose it in November....

[totodeinhere]

36. That may or may not be, but...

Obama will probably also win a lot of states in November that he lost primaries in such as New York, California, and Massachusetts.

[PM7nj]

37. So... Win Arkansas in February and lose it in November...

[MaraJade]

42. Absolutely...

this is what will happen. Of course Obamaites ASSUME that the Hillary votes will
all go to them. . .

[yellowcanine]

22. Just to pick a nit - he did not surge 20 points - he surged 11 points and Hillary dropped 9 points.

If you want to say he "surges to a 20 point lead in one week" well ok.

[SaveAmerica]

31. I think not only are Hillary supporters switching but undecideds are deciding

[Rockholm]

23. WRIGHT.

[Alexander]

28. Newsflash: Nobody cares.

Those that do won't vote for a black man anyway.

[krkaufman]

32. That is the basic fact that I haven't heard any in the media bothering to mention.

Most anyone who says that Wright is the cause for their not voting for Obama is likely just latching onto that as an excuse. They wouldn't have voted for him anyway. Personally, I wasn't expecting Obama to do real well with the white sheet demo.

[Tesha]

29. Wrong. (NT)

[surfermaw]

25. WE have lots of Blacks, Asians and Hispanic voters in NC ..lots of red necks in the mix

[surfermaw]

26. We also have many well educated people and students

Just the N.C.System has I think 16 universities, that's not counting schools like Duke University and WAke Forest University just two that were a quik think, and many, many more

[meow mix]

33. Between NC and OR, and a split in PA. shes absolute Toast no way around it.

toasty toasted toast!!!!

[MaraJade]

40. And her followers will simply stay home for the GE

or vote McCain.

We'll see who ends up toast in the end.

[meow mix]

35. and by the way, Hillary fans.... NC will go Blue for Obama. one of many to do so.
