Truth is likely voters always end up voting and you can never predict what unlikely voters will do, but it wouldn't surprise me if we suddenly see a rush of votes in both directions as the elections draw near. Once the primaries are over, I think it'll all be moot anyway. As much as Barack may pick up a few undecideds, you can probably expect Hillary to do the same.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('21499','Vinny'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('21499','Vinny','I have no idea either.

It seems to me that a whole lot of "unlikely voters" - namely, sizable portions of all minorities - will be turning out in droves to vote for Obama. These voters are missed by pollsters because they have never voted before and are generally unlikely to vote. I just cannot imagine a lot colored people NOT voting for Obama. The "first black president"? That's one hell of an unstated Call to Vote. Granted, voting in primaries is different than voting in national elections (turn out is lower, only the hard core actually do it, etc.), so this may allow Hill to win the nomination, in which case she'll grab Obama as her VP. Anyway, curious what you think, and even more curious what will happen; I really have no idea! At this point, the fact that Edwards is NOT going win the nomination (and won't be a VP candidate after the '04 catastrophe), makes me eager, instead of anxious, to see who the Dems put forward. And of course I am still waiting for an interesting Republican candidate.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('21495','Bob'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('21495','Bob','Curious what you think about this:\r\n\r\nAll of the polls I\'ve seen place Clinton ahead of Obama ahead of Edwards... but these are always polls of \"likely voters\".
