Hillary's Demise Was Greatly Exaggerated... email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 67/100. anniepa (6510)   ranked 243 out of 4,422 in politics11 months ago

Well, they just called New Hampshire in Hillary Clinton's favor so the reports of her campaign being in serious trouble were great exaggerated, or at least very premature. It seems the female turnout was tremendous and they voted in big numbers for Hillary. It also seems the polls of just a few short hours ago were way off!

To make this a discussion, do you pay any attention to the polls or do you think they're totally inaccurate and when they do get it right it's just dumb luck? Are you influenced by the polls either in who you vote for or IF you bother to vote at all?

While Hillary may be the projected winner it isn't over, I think she and Obama are going to swap wins a few time, and it should be an 'interesting' race to watch, I'm no fan of hers, but then I don't like any of the candidates and am considering writing in the 'name' Mickey Mouse, as that's what I see the presidency coming to.

Mooch

It sure isn't over, I guess that's the point; the media had it being over with Obama sweeping the whole deal, apparently. I'm glad it's going to be interesting and hopefully we'll get to hear some good debates over the issues we're faced with. Hey, Mickey Mouse is too smart to want the job!

I am a registered Voter, and will for sure be not missing this Election, as I feel my Vote highly counts in hopes of making a difference somewhere.

As for Hillary winning. I am Glad she won, as this makes it more of an interesting race. Honestly, I feel each person no matter who they are needs to read up on each Candidate and decide the best person for them. No, we may not all agree, but we should let our personal feelings persuade us, and not the opinions of others.

Actually, this Race is far from over, and we are just beginning 2008. and such, but it will be a very interesting year at least.

I couldn't have said it better. I hope there are many more like you who will be paying attention and will be voting in this election. It's been called the most important election in our lifetimes and I tend to agree.

The way I see the media is they play it any way they can to keep you watching. Last week she was cold and didn't have any personality, now she's teared up and the media is saying she is so emotional and blah blah blah. One of the channels was talking about her huge upset over Obama in NH, and last time I checked a couple percentage points was not a huge upset.
I don't listen to much of the media anymore. I'm going to vote for who I feel is the best candidate and try not to let the media bias my opinion. But in the age of 24 hour news that's not an easy task...


myLot reputation of 67/100. anniepa (6510)   ranked 243 out of 4,422 in politics  11 months ago

I know, they were all saying what a huge upset it was, but earlier today they were saying Obama was leading by anywhere from 11 to 14 percentage points so I guess if you believed that it was a big turn-around. I make up my own mind, too, but you're right, with the 24/7 news and commentary today it's hard not to be swayed by the media.

i dont really pay much attention to the polls. i like hilary. i dont know if it was way off or not. id sure like to see her win it over any one else. if i have to choose another it would be edwards. i think she is serious when she says she wants to help. and i think that she will come through with what she says. maybe not on all of it as she is still a politician. but none the same i think she will try her best to do what she has promised. as for obama i really hope she beats him. you can tell he wasnt happy tonight. his face when he walked out told it all. we need a change in this country and a woman for president would be a huge one.

Hey Annie,
I am from Kenya, we voted on 27th dec. and went home to wait for the results. Media exgurated the results, hiked the polls, did this and that, it turned out messy and right now, the country is in post election chaos. there is violence all over after the president was declared. Opposition supporters went on the street, looted, burned houses and many other things.
Please I urge you Americans, dont listen to the media soo much, it can be deceiving you. Just vote for what your heart wants and not who is winning.
Sorry if i pocked my nose where it doesn't belong.

In our elections I do not pay any attention to the polls.
I think they are almost never right or rarely show what most people are thinking.
I feel that the US will probably have their first female president the way Hillary's campaign is being run.
Just a veiw point from someone outside of the US. Susan

The polls are not really useful. In my country at last election according to the polls a candidate had to win with 10% and he won only by a few thousand votes (fortunately)
I think they are useful to register a trend but they can't be accurate coz there are people who don't want to answer to polls and we don't know how they'll vote.

P.S: Go Hillary!!!

I am totally watching them this year because I am hoping for Hillary to win. However I am also checking in on the republicans. My husband is a republican and he is very disappointed with the candidates this year and he says this year he is going democrat with me how funny is that. But no I am not influenced by the polls, I am influenced by the views and opinions of candidate and how those will affect my family and I in the years of thier office.

I'm supporting Hillary all the way. I didn't expect her to do well in Iowa but I was afraid that if she lost New Hampshire too, she would start losing momentum. Guess I don't have to worry about that for now!

I'd never let a poll influence my vote. I'm already sick of this election and the talking heads and the rhetoric. What is interesting to me is the labeling and how strange it's become. I mean, talking head Limbaugh calls Hillary Clinton a liberal. She is not a liberal, she is a moderate Democrat by any definition I have ever known.

Anyway, I have tuned out all polls and rhetoric as much as I can to concentrate on studying the candidates, their true stand on issues and their record. Political pundits give me a headache.
