Romney crowds lunamagica Jul 2015 #29

Well, yah, right before a General Election. Apples & Oranges -nt- 99th_Monkey Jul 2015 #31

I think that having these type of crowds right before the election is even more telling lunamagica Jul 2015 #35

I don't think Hillary is ignoring or dismissing anyone. This is a race, and she's canpaigning hard. lunamagica Jul 2015 #53

Someone else had HUGE crowds in the 2008 Democratic Primary you know. 99th_Monkey Jul 2015 #61

I know, but it wasn't the crowds that did it. It was his extremely well-planned strategy, lunamagica Jul 2015 #63

Necessary, but not sufficient in and of themselves 99th_Monkey Jul 2015 #69

Where did I say crowds were necessary? In fact, my point was that they are meaningless lunamagica Jul 2015 #79

Poll can be bought, as can consultants & staffers, and Hillary's buying lots of them 99th_Monkey Jul 2015 #85

We'll see what happens after the novelty wears off AlbertCat Jul 2015 #55

He's no Obama... lunamagica Jul 2015 #56

Obama had internal polling AlbertCat Jul 2015 #64

I said that was just oe example. But ITA with your last sentence. It's a great comfort. lunamagica Jul 2015 #66

And having a crowd like that right before the election and STILL he lost? George II Jul 2015 #77
