Your wishful thinking won't make it so.

Re: Pathetic (none / 0)

It's not wishful thinking. It's reasonable hypothesis supported by results from similar states, polling data, and the demographic makeup of Kentucyk.

Re: Pathetic (none / 0)

Kentucky isn't West Virginia. The university count's much higher, and WV actually makes KY look somewhat diversified. As someone currently living in KY (and a few blocks away from an Obama outpost), I can quite assuredly state he'll do better in KY than he did in WV.

Re: Pathetic (none / 0)

I didn't say it was, but the demographis are SIMILAR. I never said identical. Obama might do a little bit, but probably not much. But we shall see.

The results will be similar in that she'll win, but he's easily going to break 30, if not 40.

Re: Pathetic (none / 0)

Seems like  a stretch to me. (40) Thirty possibly, maybe even likely.

Demographics say (none / 0)

Kentucky is richer than West Virginia
Kentucky is more educated than West Virginia
Kentucky is less white than West Virginia
Kentucky is younger than West Virginia

Granted, it's just a comparison -- on the whole, it's still good Clinton margins, but via which exact demographic measure is Kentucky more favorable to her than West Virginia was?

If I had to guess, 30 points seems like a reasonable spread, and it's more in line with the other pollsters:
Clinton +32 (SUSA 5/9-11)
Clinton +27 (R2k 5/7-9)
Clinton +25 (Ras 5/5, 13% undecided)

But, hey, my guess is based on the preponderance of all polling data and the actual demographics breakdown, rather than one ARG poll and wishful thinking.  I could be way off.
