If any of this is new news, then use it. If it's old news to you, then I apologize for repeating. I just received info indicating that: 1. BS is going to hit Rahm hard in Chicago tonight in an effort to link his AA unpopularity and trust issues to HRC; 2. Strategically, they are going to stop chasing delegates and focus on chasing a win each cycle in order to drive their $ and stay in the game 3. They think they will win in MO, and be close in ILL. They recognize HRC lead in FL & OH, but note that northwest OH voters = Mich voters. 4. They are still surprised that BS is outperforming their polls (Their internals had him -12 in Michigan) 5. As to NC: a. Their internal #s show BS -4 (46-42) in NC (but modeling a 34% black turnout). The poll that I shared yesterday (HRC +33 62-29) assumed 38% AA vote. My instinct is that we are closer to a +10-12, with anything better than that being icing on the cake! b. They were checking around to validate their #s and are considering adding a Monday stop in Charlotte. They were told that their #s were very inconsistent with everything else in the market and were likely wrong. Hopefully that will keep BS out of Charlotte, but if not, we are locked down on a great site and will have an overflow crowd. c. They are switching their ad to a trade ad in NC today We had great response from our HRC trip yesterday and folks are already revving up to see her on Monday in Chlt. We really need to lock WJC down for Winston-Salem & Asheville on Sunday ASAP so that we can get the word out. It should help us swing the extra delegates in the 5, 6 & 10th CDs and boost turnout in the 11th, which should be performing better for us than current polling indicates. Let me know if this is helpful. Thanks. Tom Hendrickson Lookout Ventures, Inc.
