Will O'Malley pull more votes from Sec. Clinton or Sen. Sanders' supporters? [View all] FrodosPet May 2015 OP

Neither. He may simply be angling for a VP nod. n/t leveymg May 2015 #1

Don't count him out FrodosPet May 2015 #3

If you go to Jeb and Rand Paul, they are not close to each other... Sancho May 2015 #120

I just looked at Jeb and Rand...you should do so... Sancho May 2015 #157

i looked at Jeb and Rand and...? ablamj May 2015 #158

Jeb and Rand were in different quadrants... Sancho May 2015 #160

yes ablamj May 2015 #167

even though some probably don't believe it...I don't have a personal issue with other DUers Sancho May 2015 #185

votes don't always ablamj May 2015 #191

I try to avoid those infernal debates but you will never get some people to abandon the eye test. DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #208

Ok, OK ,OK. pangaia May 2015 #127

OK Ok OK....that is NOT what this man said..... VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #139

LOOK, I did NOT say those graphs are lies !!!! pangaia May 2015 #144

Yes you did.... VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #149

I think you are confusing me with somebody else. pangaia May 2015 #152

Oh yes they are.... VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #137

AHAHAHAHA pangaia May 2015 #146

No I am honest.... VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #150

You too qualify... VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #168

no ablamj May 2015 #159

Whew! Where have you been? pangaia May 2015 #170

We have now 2 actual statisticians opinions VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #173

Why do you think statisticians are experts on political ideology? I'm not clear on what you think TheKentuckian May 2015 #202

So only one person can be guilty of it? VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #171

but you used one of my quotes ablamj May 2015 #175

Sorry...but that person WAS defending YOUR VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #177

not really defending ablamj May 2015 #179

Thats defending your position VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #181

agreeing with one small point? ablamj May 2015 #182

How is that one snall point? VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #184

The point being that you said the graphs were false VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #183

i said i didn't believe the graphs and that some can lie with graphs ablamj May 2015 #186

EXACTLY VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #187

you ablamj May 2015 #189

I am making perfect sense.... VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #192

but ablamj May 2015 #193

they SUPPORTED YOUR position that the statisticians opinions are lies.... VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #200

no ablamj May 2015 #209

Policy positions and the weighting of them are not statistics. How are you saying the discipline TheKentuckian May 2015 #198

data points ARE statistics.... VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #199

So data points are statistics, so what? TheKentuckian May 2015 #203

No....the study of them IS statistics... VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #204

You are the one who said data points are statistics, I accepted that and moved on so now you are TheKentuckian May 2015 #206

Naw, he's not running for Clinton's or anyone else's VP. Koinos May 2015 #4

They can work together after things like that treestar May 2015 #115

Yeah, i don't get that feeling. He's in it to win it Joe the Revelator May 2015 #10

He's going to come out swinging against Hillary. morningfog May 2015 #34

I'd guess equal. HooptieWagon May 2015 #2

or will he pull no votes at all Johonny May 2015 #5

She has enough of a lead....she can afford to lose a few... VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #6

There is a 22% undecided, he may get this portion. Thinkingabout May 2015 #7

Oh just the undecideds? VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #8

Oh, I think there will be more than the undecided, I also look for others to jump in also. Thinkingabout May 2015 #13

Yep there will... VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #16

Be careful with that pre-ordained stuff... Joe the Revelator May 2015 #24

What pre-ordained stuff.... VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #26

This is going to be fun. Joe the Revelator May 2015 #30

It is going to be so much fun. morningfog May 2015 #35

You damn straight it is! VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #132

But until a few days ago there was no Democrat running against her. pangaia May 2015 #130

baloney....everyone knew Sanders and O'Malley would run... VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #133

And when Obama announced in 07, she had a 33 point lead. Joe the Revelator May 2015 #162

Obama was an anomally VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #166

Hillary was and is a flawed candidate. Joe the Revelator May 2015 #188

Sanders is a psueodemocrat? pangaia May 2015 #129

Yep...he said himself he is STILL not a Democrat. VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #135

He'll certainly pull from Sanders, they are singing the same tune Joe the Revelator May 2015 #11

Martin O'Malley? Same tune you say? VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #17

When it comes to campaign rhetoric, they are both going to woo Warren supporters Joe the Revelator May 2015 #22

I thought Bernie got all the Warren Supporters according to his supporters... VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #25

Is this satire? Am i missing something? Joe the Revelator May 2015 #29

what satire? VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #31

I've been around a very long time, which is why I know how this song goes.... Joe the Revelator May 2015 #32

apparently not... VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #40

You can post that graphic until you're blue in the face.... Joe the Revelator May 2015 #42

I've been telling people for years, that those charts are moronic cali May 2015 #50

I suspect he won't pull much from Sanders cali May 2015 #57

You think he's late? I don't think anyone is really paying 'real' attention yet. Joe the Revelator May 2015 #67

oh they're paying attention in Iowa and new Hampshire cali May 2015 #109

Some of Clinton's support is soft. Koinos May 2015 #14

she can afford to lose soft can't she? VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #18

Unless... kenfrequed May 2015 #123

HOW does that hurt her? She has a 50 point LEAD on the pack...not just above 50% VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #141

She is wanted by party members. ablamj May 2015 #169

and that is not going to be a problem.... VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #196

Wait and see kenfrequed May 2015 #195

At this early juncture, I'd say much of Clinton's support is based upon name recognition. Maedhros May 2015 #103

She received roughly 50% of the primary vote in 08 DemocratSinceBirth May 2015 #210

It's a different election, under different circumstances, so direct comparison is problematic. Maedhros May 2015 #212

Both. Scootaloo May 2015 #15

A good Candidate? For a Sanders supporter??? VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #19

Welcome to reality VanillaRhapsody. Will you be visiting long? Scootaloo May 2015 #21

I am the one that is STILL in reality...I am the realist not the idealist in this conversation... VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #27

No, he's not. But he's still a good candidate Scootaloo May 2015 #28

that is SOOO ridiculous....to say you support the policies of Sanders... VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #36

All three are good candidates, Nilla. Scootaloo May 2015 #44

I will try to remember YOU feel that way... VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #46

I think you should try talking to us rather than at us. Scootaloo May 2015 #51

why....what difference would that make? VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #54

if your goal is for Sanders supporters to "go away," then I'm afraid you're on a lost cause Scootaloo May 2015 #64

Oh were you talkiing about Sanders supporters...or the ridiculous sanders supporters? VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #66

I'm not confused in the least. Yes, I mean talk to sanders supporters Scootaloo May 2015 #73

Why should I talk TO them? What good will that do? I am not VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #81

Rather than AT them? Because they're people. Scootaloo May 2015 #83

Well, whatever. Keep doing as you do, Nilla. Scootaloo May 2015 #86

Why are you so negative and sarcastic about all this? pangaia May 2015 #134

Because of how ugly and caustic Sanders supporters are... VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #136

Pretty general statement, in my opinion. pangaia May 2015 #138

Snooty or confident? VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #140

I didn't call anyone names. pangaia May 2015 #142

"snooty" isn't a name? VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #143

it wasn't used as a name, ablamj May 2015 #172

names are nouns ablamj May 2015 #176

With someone like O'Malley now in the race, Sanders support has probably already peaked. tritsofme May 2015 #41

Agreed, espessially with the new candidate appearing 'fresh' and rockstartish... Joe the Revelator May 2015 #45

this Martin O'Malley? VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #47

Wrong, his support continues to grow and that is supported by polling. onecaliberal May 2015 #48

You could take your own advice. Just because you want Sanders' support to continue to grow does not tritsofme May 2015 #65

what people seem not to know is that Sanders already had a small national base cali May 2015 #78

I don't need to take my own advice I see onecaliberal May 2015 #122

She has plenty....she is far ahead of where she was then... VanillaRhapsody May 2015 #62
