I like Cornell West but he bothers me that he sold out and is on MTV.

Bill Maher was great last night.  He had Cornell West on and I think he's a fascinating guy.  I would love to audit one of his classes at Princeton.

I stopped watching Maher when I found out he was a member of PETA

At the beginning of the year, Obama was down by 20 in PA.  I've said that anything less than a loss by 10% would be a win for Obama.  Recent polls had him down 10+.  Then, three polls are now showing him statistically tied.  At this point I think it is safe to say he'll break 10%

So, since you think Hillary will win by 12, I'll bet you $20 the margin is less than 10.


never said i thought it would be 12 i just said dont kill yourself when that happens....i have no idea what its gonna be but i know obama aint winning and i know its gonna be more than five...you posting polls saying its tied is assinine...i definitely know that

You can't dispute the fact that three consecutive polls show that Obama and Clinton are within the margin of error within each other.  I drew no conclusion, but I think it is safe to say that she isn't going to get the "big win" (>10%) that she needs to make this interesting.

I never predicted a win for Obama in PA.  The only prediction I made is that Obama will get more delegates from NC than Hillary will get from PA.

I do predict that whoever the Dem nominee is, it won't even be close in the general.  The dems will win this one handily, and it could very well be the biggest margin of victory since Reagan.
An ad hominem fallacy consists of asserting that someone's argument is wrong and/or he is wrong to argue at all purely because of something discreditable/not-authoritative about the person or those persons cited by him rather than addressing the soundness of the argument itself.

Obama is now back ahead of McCain as far as the polls go....

Also Obama actually just today took the lead in forecasted delegates on this map (note that this site doesn't change each day, you need to click "next" if you want it updated by day).....

Go ahead and start one in the Polls section.  It'll be totally scientific.

Yea, polls suck if you don't want to believe in them.

IGY is just bitter, because a claim of institutional racism sounds a bit hollow when there is a black president.

So, on the day before the big PA primary, any thoughts on what lie Hillary is going to roll out today to shift things her way?

Polls over the weekend show an average margin of less than 10: 5, 5, 13, 7, 7, 10, 6.
