Survey: Before Votes, Clinton Leads Delegate Chase

By KAREN TRAVERS

Dec. 28, 2007 —

With only six days left before the Iowa caucuses and the race to the Democratic nomination well under way, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton is leading in the important battle for the so-called "super delegates."

Throughout the year states jockeyed fiercely to position their primaries and caucuses earlier in the year to play a more significant role in the nominating process.

But even with a bunched-up early primary season, a candidate still needs to accumulate delegates to win the Democratic nomination.

5. Before votes in 2004

Howard Dean was winning.

So by the thinking of this reporter, Hillary Clinton is going to lose.

YEA!

6. Remarkable illogic, Pastiche423.

"So by the thinking of this reporter, Hillary Clinton is going to lose."

Where?? Why??? No one said that but you, Pastiche423. It's not by the 'thinking of the reporter', it's by your illogical thinking, Pastiche423.

7. There is nothing illogical about my thinking

Before the 1st vote in 2004, Howard Dean was winning.

But he did not win the nomination.

Before the 1st vote in 2008, Clinton is winning.

This does not mean she will win. BECAUSE NO ONE HAS VOTED!

The only way she will win, is be due to rigging - as we have seen in the past two presidential elections.

8. First quote illogical, second one dishonest, third illogical

Your 1st quote does not follow logically from the facts: "So by the thinking of this reporter, Hillary Clinton is going to lose."

In your 2nd quote you dishonestly changed your claim to a defensible thesis: "This does not mean she will win."

First quote - unsupportable illogic.
Second quote - you changed the meaning to a supportable thesis.

Then you add another bit of illogic: "The only way she will win, is be due (sic) to rigging - as we have seen in the past two presidential elections." Connection??????

9. Why does this feel like it is inevitably Hillary?

And mark my words she cannot win in the General Election because she is so divisive... The Repugs will be rabid against her and all them evangelicals will get their own calling from God to vote against her...

10. Do you think

Just maybe it's because there has been no front-runner for the Republican party chosen as of yet?

Yea, Clinton is up front..for now.
