Who had a Better night Obama or Clinton?

So, what are the chances Michigan and Florida gets seated at the convention?  I'm saying, at minimum, 95%.

100% if their vote will not affect the outcome......

Actually, it's closer to 100% if their vote will affect the outcome, less if not...

This was the Obama situation on 2/4/08.
4.  He had his major weapon, which probably gave him Iowa, deployed:  Oprah.

What's fascinating to me is that the one area of the country he deployed Oprah (California), the black population didn't show up.  What's up with that?

Part of it is not the Black population; Oprah was good with white women in Iowa.

Some of it was that she could be on the ground for days in Iowa, retail politics.  She could have changed the results in NH.  Part of it is that there are many "celebrities" in California and she wasn't a huge attraction.

Possible putting on the trail in places like MA, NJ, NM would have been a better deployment, as would putting her in the neighborhood of LA.

I don't know whether anything could have change MA or NJ that much.  Can she help with the NM dead voting population?

The media is fawning of Obama that if his grandmother voted against him, they call it racism.

bitter...

That's truth talking, not bitterness.  No one who has watched TV for even half a second can deny that Obama is the media's choice.  There is no negative media attached to him whatsoever, while on the opposite end Hillary gets nothing but negative media.

I agree about Obama and the media.  Way, way way too much hype - seems set for a fall when he doesn't achieve it fully in the future.  I worry about long-term in the primaries, frankly.

This is one of the reasons I voted for Hillary yesterday.

Why do people on this site still have the ridiculous idea that Howard Dean is any more than a puppet head of the DNC?
