Obama currently has about a 20% lead over Clinton in North Carolina.

If he wins by 9 or 10% can he still tout it as a great victory? Will the media proclaim it a great victory or will they call it a disappointment since he so recently had a big lead? I was just wondering if this works both ways.

1. The latest SUSA poll has it at 50-41

Nice try.

[MadBadger]

3. I actually trust PPP on this one, even though they got last night very wrong

They are based out of NC. He just needs to win here.

4. Survey USA is just one outfit

Real Clear Politics has Obama up at 15.5

6. I am an Obama supporter also, so I don't need a "nice try".

Whatever the current difference may be, my point, evidently missed, is that if Obama only wins by half of what he once was ahead in North Carolina (it recently was 20%), then will that still be considered a great victory.

2. They will call it an upset. I bet you a $100 (donated to O campaign)

5. It will be a great victory in that she will need 74% of the vote in every remaining state

to pull even with him.

It would be an even greater victory, of course, if he beat her by 20 points, pushing her up to 76% for every remaining state. :patriot:

7. Is that a small state?

10. Not too far from Pennsylvania. Isn't it 115 pledged delegates?

[NeedleCast]

8. Yes and No

If Obama only wins NC by single digits I'd consider it disappointing. At the same time, even if he loses by 10 (which isn't going to happen), it doesn't change the delegate math very much.

Additionaly, there are a grand total of zero states where Hillary has trailed in the polls and come back to win.

9. Obama is on pace to raise $25,920,000 today!!!!!!!!!!

I donated $300 between 4:09 29 seconds and 4:09 30 seconds.

Meaning $300 per second, $18,000 per minute, 1,080,000 per hour, and $25,920,000 per day!!!!!!!
