We will see.  Obama has had the most difficult time in NE states with large numbers of Catholic voters.  That pretty much describes Rhode Island, so I'm still expecting HRC to win there by a pretty large margin.  

Obama took some time off Texas and Ohio to spend a bit of time campaigning in RI last week.  I think we can expect at the very least that it'll be closer than the double digit losses that were being predicted by the last polls there.

Hey, what's going on? I can't see my posts...

Okay, nevermind...

So he's closing the gap in RI but Clinton has caught up in Texas? That makes no sense.

I think we're going to find, when the deed is done, that the polls were even less predictive of the 3/4 for results than has been the norm.

A win in RI would be a minor earthquake for the Clinton campaign.  If she were to only win Ohio, I think the media narrative on that would not be favorable to her.  Of course, a scenario where he pulls off the upset in RI might also be one where he sweeps, in which case it's a moot point, because her campaign will be "ringing down the curtain and joining the choir invisbule, because it's bleeding demised! This is an ex-campaign!"

sorry, got carried away.;)

What are you talking about?  Is that even English?

I couldn't find any late breaking polls when the predictions thread went up, so I predicted the race would be closer than the earlier polls indicated since there was some actual campaigning there - I still think Hillary wins, but not by 10. Hopefully this will make me right ;)

I'm pining for the fjords after reading some of these inscrutable comments.

hmmm, open primary or not?

if it's open, I wouldn't be surprised to see this one tied up. The question is, do the Brown and RISD students vote in favor of Obama in huge numbers?

taking this poll seriously?

42-37?

That's 79 percent! There's no WAY 21 percent of RI voters are going for other or undecided.

This poll is really flawed. Toss it out.

Hillary's math problem:

"As many now know, Hillary Clinton served on the exclusive Wal-Mart board of directors from 1986 to 1992."

Yep, and she also had one of those ridiculous $30K/year no-show Board seats with cement manufaturer LaFarge, one of the world's worst polluters.

And this is related to the Rhode Island poll how?

But since you're going there, did you see the pictures of Obama's house and the lot that Rezko bought?  Woweee.  I didn't think it was a big deal until I saw that it's a mansion.  Apparently Obama wanted to buy the lot next door, but the house was enough of a stretch, so his pal Rezko, who was bankrupt at the time, had his wife pay $600K for the lot.  She, by the way, had a reported income of $37,000 at the time.  

Everyone can play this game!
