New CNN poll just out today: Obama and Clinton TIED IN TEXAS!!!

YEE-HAAAAA!!!!!

Ala Hillary Clinton speaking about the Vice-President of the United States and his hunting ACCIDENT: "That was good, that was really good, you know I couldn’t believe that, I really thought I have gotten over being totally outraged by the Bush administration." Clinton said, and then expressed her fear of Cheney when he is out of office when he will no longer have his agents protecting him.
"Once he his out of office the secret service is not around to protect people from him. We better be careful about where he goes hunting. Safety protocol would be useful, don’t you think."

And this is the woman who took such outrage at a reporter's unfortunate choice of words about her using her daughter in the campaign. Her words about the VP (who I can't stand, by the way) were no less despicable!!!

Hillary Clinton is simply Karl Rove in a yellow pantsuit.

Don't get too excited Henry. Same poll people who predicted a 10 point win in California for Obama. All the other Polls show Hillary ahead by 9-15 points.
I never had much faith in polls anyway.

Too late, Jay -- I'm already excited!

This same poll had Clinton LEADING Obama by 20 points a mere two weeks ago!

They may not be perfect, as you correctly point out, but polls DO often correctly indicate clear momentum, and this looks very good for Obama!

So what's Obama gonna change? TV programs stay the same, wall street still runs the show, America still buys middle east oil, Chavez still hating everything american, the arabs still hate anything and everything western, on and on. The only change I see Iran wins in Iraq, Iran gets their nuclear weapons, followed by other middle east states, two more wars in middle east, so what's new here?

Well good luck to you Henry. May the best candidate win!!!

That poll was also taken before the media started reporting on Obama's plagiarism. It's sad when the only thing he has going for him his is speeches then we find out he stole them. Ha, ha!!!! So, now what is he good for? Obama is a joke and the people who vote for him are just plain ignorant or too caught up in this fad/trend.

Forgot to add, Europe will love Obama because they'll do what they always do, nothing about nothing. But at least the Europeans will smile more. So what's gonna change? Someone? Anyone?

well, that's OK "Obama Plagiarises," because by the time the NEXT poll on TX comes out, all of Hillary's plagiarism (including her lifting the words of none other than NEWT GINGRICH) will have been resurrected for full public review.

Let's talk again THEN, shall we?

Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton = 24 years of hate and politics as usual. Time to move on. I voted for Bill twice, and I am glad.

Does it seem Bill has some kind of sideshow going everyday already?

Well, I am not crazy about the shooting a duck in flight part, although impressive. I'm the type that hates hunting. I like to fetch my meat all prepared and wrapped for cooking at a store. Although, I do love target shooting.

Will, it's impossible to say with any precision or exactitude what will change under an Obama presidency.

What I CAN assure you, is that NOTHING will change under a (second) Clinton or McCain presidency. N-O-T-H-I-N-G.

So if you've enjoyed the politics of the last 28 years, by all means, vote for Hillary or George W. McCain....

Is she serious?! Is there anyone that has come out to support this "I am a hunter BS?"

Louis: I know! Maybe she should set up a "hunt date" with Mitt Romney! ROTF!

...Hillary hunts?

Does anybody else find that really weird?

Of course she hunts! Isn't the issue guns?
Of course she loves tamales! Isn't she campaigning in Texas?
Of course she's pro-war. Didn't she vote for the authorization to use force in Iraq?
Hillary's whatever you want her to be--as long as it's in HER best interest.

So what's new is the 3 nuclear power plants now being built in Iraq, thanks to Exelon, Rezmar and Obama. This is too convenient that Obama supported the 2005 Energy bill for Cheney and then his 'friends' get a contract to build and run a nuclear plant for 10 years. I think it is a really bad idea to build a nuclear plant or 3 next door to Iran if we don't want them to get nuclear materials. Not to mention that Rezmar's money has links in the Middle East that was bad enough to get Rezko's bail revoked, that aren't exactly friendly to us. So why are Bush/Cheney and Obama/Exelon/Rezmar doing it? And why hasn't this been reported on the pro neo-con 'news' shows? I won't vote for Obama because of this and his 'I did 5 hours of work for him' is bull, they have been friends for 17 years. I don't like that he either gets his opponents kicked off the ticket, they conveniently have a scandal, or get accused by his campaign of racism, which was proven to be pushed by his camp on the debate after SC, so I won't vote for Obama for that reason. I find him arrogant, condescending to women, his attitude is 'if you question me there's something wrong with you', and his wife seems bossy and kinda mean when she says 'I'll think about voting for Hillary" when asked if she would support the dems choice if it wasn't her husband, imagine the scandal if Bill said he might not vote dem if Hillary didn't get the nom. They seem like bad sports when Michelle says she won't 'let' Obama run again. And his fierce urgency of now is that Michelle won't let him do this again, so it's our only shot to get him. I say if their attitude is like this now, what will it be like if he is elected. I can see Michelle telling us it's their way or the highway. Won't vote for that either. They lose me at every turn.
I admit their playing the race card against the Clintons was my final straw but as time goes on I feel better and better about choosing Hillary.

Hillary hunts...yes, I am another person that finds it wierd. I don't believe her. I think Hillary will agree to anything to appear to be "one of" whatever crowd she is in. I think she is a smart woman, and good senator...but I - also - think she is a person who will do or say anything to get elected. Frankly, anyone that ambitious is frightening.

Well as a Southern girl (born and raised) I can tell you that "we" have done this sort of thing, mostly at the goading our our fathers,brother's, boy friends',husbands or any other man in our lives to prove that we are good "sports". I too have had a gun permit and know how to shoot well enough to hit what I aim at, don't stand in front of me. So it's not so far fetched, despite what you might think.

I heard that she also changes the oil on her own car!

sorry again you are naive, I do that and take care of my riding lawn mower, and most of the other home repairs and chores. AND can cook a very tasty dinner. Grow up. Women can multi task in high heels.

This is the same woman that votes to confirm bills that she didn't want the Senate to pass, while these same bills destroy many American lives. Can somebody please Federal Express this loser a psychiatrist!

Hillary no more went duck hunting than Chelsea was jogging in lower Manhattan when 9/11 occurred, and she (Hillary) found out about Monica Lewinsky along with the rest of us. Oh, and she didn't really know that the war authorization bill she voted yes for was really going to authorize war. I'll say this for Hillary- she has recently mastered the art of crying, but is not- as is her husband- a convincing liar.

As Hillary Clinton said, "We're fired up and ready to go!"

Oh wait...

When Obama was teaching at a college, would he have allowed one of his students to just say that plagiarism doesn't matter? Or to put it in his words..."borrowed lines not a big deal?"

OH wait... this is Saint Obama who can do no wrong that we are talking about.

We all know that politicians are big BSers, it's in their nature, otherwise they wouldn't be politicians. When all is said and done, either Democratic candidate will be better than McCain. That's not saying much but.....

What if Hillary or Obama actually win, and what if they actually institute a 'National Health Care' plan, and what if this plan is run worse and handled worse than our social security embezzlement (which, chances are, it will be) You all realize that once it is in place, it will NEVER be dismantled. There isn't a person on earth that will be the president that 'did away with health care' even though it created worse health care than we currently have and bankrupted this once proud nation.

Well, I think many or most of us know why the Republicans are against universal health care. It's because it's just better for society if the weak and poor die; this makes the surviving species stronger. Y'know, as Darwin taught us.

Do ask Saint Obama about Larry Siclair. I think we all have a right to know.

If Hillary handles Universal healthcare the way she managed this campaign, we're all in trouble.

It seems she went to the GW Bush school of hiring.

You Clinton haters really amaze me.

Sen. Clinton says she hunted, not hunts. Maybe she went duck hunting some 30 or so years ago. But naturally she can't possible have done that, it is just BS to try to inpress someone into voting for her.

Out here I know several women who go hunting deer, antelope, and elk with their husbands and in some cases are better shots than their husbands. I also know a few who are pretty fair mechanics when it comes to car repair.

As I have argued over the past several years this nation is far more sexist than it is racist. Many of you certainly prove my point.

I am a registered republican supporting Sen. Clinton and will probably vote for Sen. McCain if Obama is the democratic nominee. I didn't like that GW used drugs in his younger days and I do not like that Obamamites simply write off Obama's having used them in his youth as a youthful indiscretion. I also am concerned that today's issue of plagarism is looked at by both Obama and his supporters as no big deal. Where I was teaching, one was automatically suspended from college for plagarism. I have concerns about Obama's connection to Rezko and Exelon.

Finally, change generally costs money. From what Kudlow wrote a few days ago Obama's proposals price tag so far is $800 billion. He also says that repealing the tax cuts for the wealthy will not pay for his proposals. Who do you suppose is going to pick up those additional costs? I would guess it will be the middle class as usual.

Obama has a hidden agenda. He reveals as little as possible & tries to sucker in the votes. There is a fool born every minute.

The American Nurses Assoc. has endorsed Hillary for President. They KNOW her Universal Health Care Plan will work & will be better than what we have now.

800billion by which accounting standards, the GOP's.. the party that said read my lips.. the party with the biggest deficit in history.. I am sure they are quite the authority!

Jay - that was true a week ago, about the 10 point average Clinton lead in Texas, but not sure its true today.

The poll Henry cited isn't the only one. Two internal state polls that came out yesterday or maybe the day before also show a statistical tie.

Still, I think Clinton probably has a lead there, but I also think there is some tightening.

And that tightening is bad enough news for Clinton, because she needs to net 25 delegates or more out of Texas.

She also needs to net five delegates out of each of the 14 smaller states remaining, beginning today with Wisconsin and Hawaii.

But there's always Plan C. Plan B was to win with superdelegates. Plan C is to promise stuff to the pledged delegates, and get them to shift. Its a little secret about the Democratic Party. Even the pledged delegates, won via primary and caucus votes, aren't bound (despite the name). There's an article this morning about how campaign staffers are confirming Clinton will go after these people if needed. She's not doing it yet, but its a possibility.

Seems she has no problem disenfranchising voters, when they don't vote the way she wants.

For those of you who want the universal health care that Hillary wants to implement, have at it. Just don't take my money for it. I happen to be using it for insurance that I PAY FOR, NOT to buy a big screen tv, spinners for my SUV and eat a pizza every night.
It's called responsibility people. Thanks.

Read the communist manifesto people. It looks eerily like the DNC platform. You people need to get informed and stop following like lemmings!

Bad news for Obama. The internet comments are turning against him. Just a week ago it was all Saint Obama, evil Hillary. Not so much now. The pendulum is swinging. The vitriol is wearing itself out. The "youth" vote is getting winded, apparently. Doesn't have the stamina of, say, an experienced woman.

Kris - you really equate internet comments with what's happening on the streets? If that had a shred of truth, we'd be looking at President Ron Paul in 2009.

I think it might be more accurate to suggest the number of posts from Clinton supporters attacking Obama reflects the growing sense of desperation among Clinton supporters.

Hmmm - anyone remember John Kerry pictured in camo's carrying a bird he DIDN'T shoot? And why, pray tell, would she be "standing in that cold water" to shoot a duck? Most duck hunters shoot from shore, or a boat, or USUALLY from a duck blind! Yup - she is a true "frontierswoman" alright - what frontier is the question!

All you Hillary hater's pick apart everything she say's..but that's Ok that's part of the game.

Is everything about Hillary tied to the past 2 administrations ?

How sad

Y'know...we laughed when Mitt said something similar to this.

What's sad is that she's a) pandering to her mental image of Wisconsonians (i.e. gun-totin, tabacca-chewin, whiskey-drinkin double-wide tralierin poor folk) and b) mocking some poor guy who got shot in the face by Cheney.

It's pathetic.

This morning there was an article citing a Clinton staffer's statement that the Clinton 'team' will go after Obama's delegates. Now there is an article statting that the Clinton Campaign WON'T be trying to steal Obama's delegates. This Clinton merry-go-round is making me dizzy. Or am I missingt something here?

She will loose Texas. If he has pulled this close without actually BEING there and all of the tickets for his rallies have sold out in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Austin.....she's gonna loose big. Texas has early voting/open primaries too?

She may win Ohio by 7%. But she'll loose TX, VT big and RI by a hair on March 4th. He'll pull ahead in delegates by 213.

Since Feb 5th....
Obama 13
Hillary 1

Hillary hunting with her father in
Arkansas? I thought she was born in
Illinois and was brought up there!

Hey reaganfan, didn't you read the article or did you miss about half of it??? She said that her dad taught her how to shoot and that once she went hunting with a group of men(not her dad) in Arkansas. Come on people read the articles then try your best to comprehend them. I wonder who you're going to vote for???? Gosh I guess it wouldn't matter....just another informed but uninformed voter.

Doesn't anyone remember George Bush's slogan that he was not a Washington insider and was going to "change" Washington! He was going to unite Washington! He was "compassionate"! Give me a break! Now we have Obama who is going to change Washington!!! He's going to unite and cause change. He has never tried to unite anyone in the Senate. More of the same.

Still waiting for post from a Obama cult member that says what Obama is going to do if elected. Looks like Clinton-bashing and Obama-worshipping is all we hear all the time. Will Michelle continue to hate America if her husband is not elected? What will Obama turn out to be -- if not Jesse Jackson (he is insulted if compared to a civil rights leader), then Clarence Thomas?

Plagiarism from Patrick in Mass??
I have a dream,
All men are created equal
Nothing to fear, but fear itself
etc.
Historical words in the public marketplace
Hillary hunting in Arkansas, yeh right.
