I don't know. Many are new voters and the conventional wisdom would hold that they are more likely to be pushed in that direction by his recent negativity. But all the same, they are new voters and we have no real idea how they'll react. It may be that they are in it because of the "new direction" Obama is trying to take politics. Or it could be that they are in it for that, but don't mind their candidate counter-punching when hit with negativity from two fronts. <BR/><BR/>I don't have the answers here, but we'll have a better idea of how it has gone this evening.Josh Putnamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06301836432446874997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719252574677567989.post-77368258305795509282008-04-22T08:11:00.000-04:002008-04-22T08:11:00.000-04:00Your theories are interesting, but Obama can't aff...Your theories are interesting, but Obama can't afford to disillusion his base. I can't believe that we have finally made it through the voting drought! We'll actually have some real votes coming in soon. Looking forward to our live discussion tomorrow.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03379192575044761972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719252574677567989.post-46938154777019571222008-04-21T20:14:00.000-04:002008-04-21T20:14:00.000-04:00I tend to agree with you Rob.

Are voters turned off by the Obama negativity or do they want the nomination to be over? Clinton wins the former and Obama the latter, but that is the tipping point for tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, it'll be about 24 hours now and it can't come soon enough.Josh Putnamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06301836432446874997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719252574677567989.post-45709677826602832642008-04-21T16:06:00.000-04:002008-04-21T16:06:00.000-04:00I think Obama gets the blame because much of his s...I think Obama gets the blame because much of his support comes because he has avoided the negativity. Voter suppression should favor Clinton, but we will see in about 30 hours!Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03379192575044761972noreply@blogger.com
