The Ponder Point

Mississippi preview

tonight is the Mississippi primary, the last primary before Pennsylvania. There seems to be little tension or suspense over who will win (so little, that I’m planning on going to the comedian at tonight at 8, and hour after the polls close.) Obama will, baring a huge change, win tonight, and add many delegates to his coffers. there are however, a few questions about what might happen tonight. it's an open primary, and with the republican race over, will many of them cross over, and for whom? will they vote for Hillary because they like her, or to keep the race going? or rather Obama because they like him, or don't like Hillary? also, how will he do in the white vote? as it is the south, Obama will most likely do quite poorly with the white vote, but will he do better? In the south he usually gets about ¼ of the white vote, if he can get low thirties or more it could mean he’s doing better. Another question is why Hillary’s not trying in Mississippi. One, it might help her in the delegate race, and even more than that, it would have given her a chance to try out a new strategy and see if it worked. This rather inept campaigning on her part is actually rather sad considering she was supposed to be such a powerful campaigner. I’ll be posting a bit more later tonight, until then, see ya later.
