MyDD diary taking
Obamamaniacs to task.
Also, more emails for me from the Obamabots:
From dfaf: “F— you c—. You are a stupid c— who lies f— you.”
From Fran: “Your VILE STENCH continues to grow nationwide. … ..”
UPDATE: NEW ONES JUST CAME FLYING IN, here’s a good one, as some Obamabot channels the covert progressive sexism that’s finally being exposed: “… You gals can do all the whining, bitching, and crying you want. It
is expected of you. But Obama will take your bitch fits in stride and with indifference. …”UPDATE II: Lots more, as usual, but this just came in from Catherine Panley, channeling Obama hope: “… If Hillary loses Wisconsin it will be because the stench of your snatch kept voters away from the polls.”
Hope reigns, baby.

I’m not a poll watcher, because of how off they can be. But here are some Wisconsin polls, but grain of salt, please. However, Obama is expected to win. He’s riding the anti Iraq war vein in the Wisconsin electorate, which includes a whole bunch of independents:

Obama 50%, Clinton 39%Rasmussen:

Jerome Armstrong on the PPI poll above:
Update [2008-2-18 14:3:35 by Jerome Armstrong]: Who knows, PPI may be right, but they also have a second set of numbers, showing under “standard turnout” that “Obama would lead Clinton just 47-44″. I agree with their assumption, in the upper numbers, that turnout among youth and blacks will be higher than normal, but I wonder too if turnout is going to be higher than they have projected, a 54-46 breakdown would be pretty low of a gender-gap in voting, compared with previous primaries. This is something I’ve noticed across all the polling done in WI over the past week, that the turnout models are widening, from a 2% to a 4% to a now 8% gap, that seems to be a trend.
ON A PERSONAL NOTE, “Happy Birthday!” to my big brother, the most important man in my life. He got me into politics when I was a kid, has been my rock throughout my life, and is my compass on so many things. He is a truly great man. I will never be able to repay him for what he’s given me. An ironic twist of fate is that if he’d stayed at the U.S. Naval Academy, he would have graduated with John McCain. Instead, my big brother went on to become a Marine. No doubt, some of you remember my uncle Dick. I’m the luckiest girl in the world to have been blessed with knowing my big brother, who is truly a gift from God to me.
