This time, the data indicate more of a split-- probably because Iraq is less of an issue this time.Eric Schansberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16147388189415035752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375225817278453406.post-24147453288593524022008-07-09T13:59:00.000-04:002008-07-09T13:59:00.000-04:00I don't think I said Hill was a sure bet.

Clinton won Indiana by one point (though she did well in the 9th), so I don't see mass numbers of Democrats defecting. I don't think the Libertarian will get that much again, and even if he does, the 2006 results indicates his support will be disaffected Republicans, not Democrats.ARhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01160908302784847352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375225817278453406.post-1352797276352522342008-07-09T08:37:00.000-04:002008-07-09T08:37:00.000-04:00In the Indiana district 9 race, there's no mention...In the Indiana district 9 race, there's no mention of the Libertarian, Eric Schansberg. In 2006 he garnered 4% of the vote. This time around many Democrats are mad with Hill's endorsement of Obama before Indiana's primary. Clinton handily took Indiana. Given that Hill campaigned on lowering gas prices last time and they've almost doubled since 2006, I don't think he's the sure bet you're pegging him to be.Martinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07792001373276190829noreply@blogger.com
