Talking points are talking points because they have some validity. Just because it is a talking point doesn't mean it is invalid. The 20% was one poll, one time.....an anomaly.

It truly amazes how all these Republicans are suddenly becoming Hillary Clinton fans.

scaeagles 04-24-2008 10:49 AM

I have clearly stated why I want her to stay in the race. I am no Hillary fan, nor am I an Obama fan. Hell, I'm no McCain fan, and I've been clear on that as well.

Sorry... I forgot the ;) in my last post.

Oh, but your "60% of Catholics" and "50% of Clinton voters" are gospel truth?

I see this thread and ALWAYS say "NO WE CAN'T!"

A difference - you can't have daily tracking of exit polls. Exit polls happen once, so it is true that it could certainly be inaccurate. Daily tracking polls, though, typically change slightly day to day, and the 20% was a statistical anomaly that stood out from the normal trends of the numbers.

And since the exit polls have been significantly off in many of the recent primaries (after all it was because of misleading exit polls that the networks waited a couple hours before officially calling PA for Clinton despite her fairly large margin) how reliable should that data be considered when trying to break it down into ever smaller cohorts?

I think this will all much ado about nothing. There'll be about three months between the last primary and the Democratic convention. Even if Hillary has not yet conceded, it will all be choreographed to put on a good show. There'll be lots of good, inspiring speeches that remind people that this election is not about Hillary vs. Obama or even voting against McCain. It's about voting against Bush (whom McCain is increasingly starting to resemble.) Then, the Republicans will have their convention a week later. They'll do their best with what they have, but it will all be capped by McCain, who, in addition to his other shortcomings, is the worst speaker ever. No one who said "I'd rather vote for McCain than the other Democrat" will stick by it.
