Why am I not getting any momentum? :/

[Maxwell]

Why am I not getting any momentum? :/

Why, at this point in the race, I am thinking Dean would be ahead in most, if not all of these states, even Mississippi . Even in 2012 when Romney was the demon amongst tea party people and not nearly as winning as Dean is here, he was on Gingrich and Santorum's tail in Mississippi and Alabama.

_______________________________________

PRP poll (next week) will show us how people vote by age, and will release a poll for NC and one other state the candidates vote (primary and GE) among these: MT, IN, SD, OR, PA and KY.
PRP polls. PPP doesn't mention the Obama/Lincoln coalition, so afroamericans in the South (where Obam has supported Lincoln) still prefer to say they support Obama, while soccer mums outside the South are also going for Lincoln even if they know she's supporting Obama in their states.
The results may be somewhat different if compared to the other poll because this has been taken in the states left to vote, because the other poll didn't include Obama in states where Lincoln is running and viceversa, and specially because this poll has far less undecideds.

PRP, a dem. polling company, believes this poll will help candidates define their strategy, what states they should focus on, solve errors and know where/with whom they could improve faster.

[Niemeyerite]

We have the other thread to discuss these things. I don't know If there'll be a collapse in the game, tha'd be unfair to McCain and Bloomberg, I believe. I'm still thinking about it...

You have to vote on Idaho Blue Dog Dem entering the race as an independent. Every candidate running (even Goodman) has the right to vote. If you don't want to make your vote public, just PM me, just as Lincoln did.

NEWS OF THE WEEK:

Breaking: senator Casey endorses Obama!



Meanwhile, mayor Michael Nutter of Philadephia makes official his support for Oprah Winfrey after a private meeting. Says he could support Bloomberg if Oprah's not the nominee.

50,000 attended McCain speech in Kansas City, MO. Rumors are that a democrat Congressperson from the Midwest may support him sooner than later.



Howard Dean campaign officers are sure that he will take PA. First voices in the DP start critizing Obama, Lincoln and Winfrey for not dropping out.

The South loves Blanche Lincoln: GE polls to be released this weekend by Rasmussen Report in Georgia and Tennessee reflect that.

Michael Bloomberg endorsed by former Maine Governor Angus King, and by the former Mayor of LA, James Hahn.

Angus King: Bloomberg is Our Guy!

1992 was the last and one of the only times in our nation's history when a viable third party candidate was in the race, a candidate that could actually win. Well, here in 2008, we have another guy who can do just that - Michael Bloomberg.

Now, Michael Bloomberg, he doesn't have a party establishment backing and funding him. But he has something even stronger, and that is The People! It's time that we ditch this era of partisan politics and elect a true Independent, someone with a history of working with both sides, to the White House.

I don't just support Mike because of his strong record in the private and public sector - I support Mayor Bloomberg because of what I believe he can do as our next President. You may not agree with Mike on every issue, in fact, a lot of you want. But give him a chance, give him an opportunity - Mike Bloomberg is the President America so desperately needs!

This November, ditch the status quo, ditch the establishment. Elect Mike Bloomberg as your next President!

April 21th - May 4th starts now


PA Primary: Dean leading, Oprah closing the gap with Obama... Too late, or not?

NYT: "Is Michael Bloomberg the Teddy Roosevelt of the XXI century?"

WSJ: "John McCain campaign the best sice Clinton '92"

Daily-Kos: "Oprah has to make clear whom she prefers: Dean or Obama/Lincoln"

LAT: "Oprah has momentum in PA. May be the big surprise tomorrow"

Senator Jay Rockefeller endorses Howard Dean. "It's obvious he's the choice of the people, just look at the map, he's won TX and NY -and we know the electorate has nothing common in TX and NY-, he's leading Obama by 20 points. He's next to 40% here in the South. And he isn't that pro gun-control, you know. That's always a good way to win over some democrats in my state".
