National polling firm Rasmussen Reports announced on Friday that it will stop polling people about the presidential campaign of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton because her opponent, Sen. Barack Obama, will win the Democratic nomination.
The company’s vice president of finance and operations, Michael Boniello, distributed an e-mail stating that after 19 months of tracking the Democratic race, it is now clear that Clinton will remain a close second.

Re: Rasmussen stopped polling Hillary
Sun, May 11, 2008 - 7:35 PMPollsters stopped paying attention to Huckabee in early March - when he was at 26% and McCain was at 57% - a 30 point spread.
Obama doesn't even have a 3 point spread over Clinton right now in polling among Dems. And Obama just can't get above 50% - an odd situation for the "presumptive nominee"!! -

It still doesn't add up to 2209. Don't get lost in the details. -

Remember - Hillary said she likes long movies. I say that those who have reached the limit of their attention spans should go play another game. -

Re: Rasmussen stopped polling Hillary
Mon, May 12, 2008 - 8:15 AMNobody is doubting that Hillary will go all the way to the convention, shit she'll be campaigning for 2012 the minute Obama is officially the nominee. She's tenacious as a pitbull, without a doubt. But her devotion to her career and disregard for anything else is shining through. -

With Hillary having to win over 85% of the remaining elected delegates she is now the Democrats Huckabee. I'm glad to see that her die hard supporter who disappeared after her big lost last week decided to resurface only to puke out the new campaign slogan for her campaign. Hillary: We want it both ways. -

Clinton and Obama both have to do the exact same thing: get 2209 delegates. And it's really not a good idea to bring up Huckabee - he got beaten primarily because the Republicans use "winner take all" contests to determine their candidate. If the Dems did that Clinton would have easily won the nomination already.

This diehard supporter was on vacation last week. But now I am back and refreshed.

Perhaps Hillary should have ran in the Republican primary. She seems better suited for it. -

Obama is much more popular with Republicans than Clinton is. Of course Obama has lost some of his RBF's, like Bill Kristol and Charles Krauthammer. -

Re: Rasmussen stopped polling Hillary
Mon, May 12, 2008 - 3:29 PM"I think there is a strain within the pro-Israel community that says unless you adopt an unwavering pro-Likud approach to Israel, then you're anti-Israel, and that can't be the measure of our friendship with Israel," leading Democratic presidential contender Illinois Senator Barack Obama said Sunday.
"If we cannot have an honest dialogue about how do we achieve these goals, then we're not going to make progress," he said.
He also criticized the notion that anyone who asks tough questions about advancing the peace process or tries to secure Israel by anyway other than "just crushing the opposition" is being "soft or anti-Israel."

Obama speaks of talking with the enemies of the US and Israel.
Hillary's views on that much more closely mirror Bush and McCain.
That's a _big_ difference. -

"We" (the U.S.) talk to everyone - whether we say so publicly or not. Obama simply made a very big stumble in one very high profile answer to a very public question - and he has allowed himself to be painted into a corner as a result of that one answer. But it says nothing about his foreign policy - except that he hasn't thought a lot of important things through very well.
