I am watching the Indiana/Carolina primaries returns. Hilly is leading in Indiana by some 14% and CNN already gave Carolina to Obama and they don't expect Hilly to do a double-digit in Indiana. All the big heads, including Hilly backers, it seems to me, are discussing Hilly as a has-been. Or, at least, that seems to be the mood. If Hilly loses Carolina big and she squeaks a win in NC, she may turn into the big heads' laughing stock if she keeps insisting that she's in for the win.

#29. To: a vast rightwing conspirator (#20)
Apparently the mayor of Gary has just said that there will be enough votes in his county to put Obama over the top in IN.
To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
That's just about all that's left to count. According to the CNN interactive map, Monroe has some votes to count but it's just a few thousands - it's solidly Obama. A couple more counties, East of Lake are Hillary's but they are in the high 80%.
Antiparty - find out why, think about 'how'
That would be sweet. I wish I could believe hizzoner.
Indiana Democratic Primary 6-May-08 Delegates: 85 County Results --- 88% Reporting 1 Clinton 574,643 52% 2 Obama 536,332 48%
Hilly''s lead now down to 19,000. He got 75% out of the 28% reported.

That just cut Hillary's lead in half. And there's still 9% left to report.

The county East of Lake is solid Hillary and they only reported 81%. The counts from Lake are all Gary. CNN says that the South portion of the county is more rural. It's not clear if all of Gary reported.

I heard only half of Gary has so far reported.

www.cbsnews.com/stories/2...olitics/main4073609.shtml (CBS/AP) CBS News projects that Hillary Rodham Clinton will win the Indiana Democratic primary and Barack Obama will win in North Carolina. Clinton pulled off an Indiana win in what was a virtual must-win Midwestern state, but her margin of victory appears to be small. With 88 percent of the votes being reported in the state, she was leading Obama 52 percent to 48 percent. At a rally in Indianapolis, Clinton said that her Indiana victory had "broken the tie." "And thanks to you, it's full speed to the White House," she said to the cheering crowd. CBS News chief political consultant Marc Ambinder reports Clinton will talk with her campaign brain trust on Wednesday to decide what to do next.

CBS projected a Hillary victory in IN just after I left work, around 8 o'clock or earlier. They'll be reluctant to take that back. Especially when Hillary may well still pull it out.

Taaaa Taaaa Ta-da Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da.... How about this: she keeps going for a few more days so she can try to raise some $$$. Remember, she did lend $5 million to her campaign.

This kind of delusion should surely show she has a problem.

Indiana Democratic Primary 6-May-08 Delegates: 85 County Results --- 95% Reporting 1 Clinton 606,497 51% 2 Obama 589,888 49%
At that rate, Hill will win IN by about 12K votes.
They are still waiting for the results from Union County. Union County is a county located in the U.S. state of Indiana. As of 2000, the population is 7,349. The county seat is Liberty.
Indiana's Lake County has tradition of late vote tallies
Indiana Democratic Primary 6-May-08 Delegates: 85 County Results --- 99% Reporting 1 Clinton 637,389 51% 32 Delegates 2 Obama 615,370 49% 29 Delegates
That's it then. Between 92 & 95% reporting she lost a lot of ground, but then between 95 & 99% she got all that back and *more* to win by over 22K votes! I guess we could say that in that final stretch she really pulled an upset of sorts. Wouldn't you agree, 20? I'm sure that's how Hillary will see it and call it, anyway. An upset victory!
I agree.
"And thanks to you, it's full speed to the White House," she said to the cheering crowd. I wouldn't say it broke a tie, but winning a state that is neighboring Obama's home state is an accomplishment.
God is always good!

To quote the White Sox announcer, changes genders, she gone. Obama, as I told you long ago, will be our next president. And he will be a good one. You know, suck on that.
Honi soit qui mal y pense
Those super delegates are going to decide this thing. They will piss off a lot of racists if they don't choose Obama.
God is always good!
You are like a kid that has never grown up. You still believe the crap you were taught by your liberal teachers in school. That is a sign of a low IQ.
God is always good!
Who will Obama choose as his VP?
It's not over yet. Stay tuned.
If he is the nominee and doesn't choose Hillary, he will lose to McCain. Hillary supporters carry huge grudges around.
God is always good!
Gone unnoticed: McCain took 78% in Indiana and 74% in N. Carolina. That's not great for a presumptive nominee running essentially unopposed.
Most Republicans will hold their nose and vote for McCain in the fall to stop national health care. I won't, but I completely understand what they are doing.

Most Republicans will hold their nose and vote for McCain in the fall to stop national health care. I won't, but I completely understand what they are doing. 26% OF REPUBLICAN VOTERS AGAINST MCCAIN IN NORTH CAROLINA... Most Pubs and Dems will vote their party. The Independents include a large number of former Pubs who are disaffected with Bush. Few of those really want a far left Dem now any more than they wanted Kerry. They are angry at Bush and anger usually wins out, but there will be a lot of nose holding whichever way they go. The economy will remain the dominant topic. The war will also remain a major topic. With McCain talking about 100 years in Iraq, OPEC may strive for $5 a gallon gas by election day.
My deepest congradulations to the next President of the United States, Barack Obama.
Buh bye Hil, don't go away mad, just go away.
It will pbly be a bit. Next up are WV & KY where she can win. In the meantime she can still raise some funds from the faithful.
That can only happen if McCain lets it happen by not bringing out the dirt on him with Ayers. McCain may take a dive like Bob Dole, but that is yet to be seen. Somehow when this is all over I think Hillary will be the President one way or the other. Either by inheriting it when Obama has an "accident", or by beating McCain.
God is always good!
