Craig Crawford's Trail Mix

trying to be first.

uh, did I really do that? LOL.. ok that put a smile on my otherwise sour mood.

Frying to be terse.

I went right ghrough the Stop sign on the last thread, so here's my contribution:

Count the states for Reps; count the delegates for Dems. The former has winner take all voting while the latter divvy up the delegates according to congressional districts and other formulas.

Nash, the almost Canadian, is too funny as usual. Were you trying to channel Fry Daddy a few posts up?

Does anyone else ever notice what a control freak Craig is being when he just lances in with a big freakin NEW THREAD post.

I mean, hey Craig...the conversation was just getting started on that other thread.

Nash..in case you missed it..I loved your drowning kitty post.

EuroTom
you are okay, thank you for your insight and contribution to this,......... place.

So the poll that shows a McCain / Huckster ticket wins all would be a
1 delight?
2 oh S$!%
The establishment has backed McCain not for his Conservative values... But a move to block HRC or BO

But Eprof,

What do you think about the popular vote for Dem? What impact do you think it could have if any?

so I probably did go too far with my negativity. I apologise for that. Rez you are right. Last time Washington state went democratic was 1984 during the Reagan/Mondale dual. I was so sad when Mondale lost. He is from my home state. At least Minnesota stuck by him, albeit barely. In 72(?) McGovern even lost South Dakota but maybe won Massachusetts?

Cheers

Lard,
In case you missed it:
"So if I have offended anyone in my semi-buzzed state, let me apologize in advance. I love you all."

I love you too. Especially if you'd pour me a wee dram of McAllen...

And if you break out any of that scotch you have from Islay, we'll be friends forever.

Thanks Empty... but I am an adult and shouldn't let a ... certain poster... grate on my nerves so.

From previous thread for dnd

I don't think you are any of those things. I don't think she is perfect. It's just when someone accuses her of being "bitchy" in some fashion, I have to ask for examples. Most of those charges, repeated endlessly on talk radio comes from the rampant right. When actually asked for Proof that she is mean or viscious, the silence is deafening.

Even a tools like Matthews and MoJO will in sane moments say she is pleasant, funny, and kind.

Richardson is very handsome with that beard.... I'll be his Chef anytime!

Okay. EuroTom's vitals are back out of the red zone. We can move him into the recovery room.
Thanks ET.

NOTHING MATTERS.
You get one vote on Nov, and sometimes it counts and , depending on where you live, sometimes it does not count.
That is reality.

Would McCain be really that much different than Bush? I doubt it....

CNN seems to be getting it's numbers faster or declaring faster. They've given Clinton New Jersey.

worth repeating...

yikes...Bill Richardson looks hot!!

Sweet Revenge for Clinton

DND...There's a place in the city where I live where you can buy a fifth of McCallan for $34.

At that rate, you actually MAKE MONEY being an alcoholic. Go figure!

Jamie...I quit BONBC (except when Craig is on) awhile back...and John King has such control of those nifty graphics.

ET - Would McCain be that much different the HRC - He has not been....

The beard hides the soft chin and he's rested (and ready?)

LushIs...you're breaking my heart.

Don't tell me you're visualizing Bill Richardson stripping down to his "business socks" and turning it into some sort of "sexy dance."

If so, whatever we had...is OVER.

LOL LOL LOL... LL, my pleasure.

I am still believing in a Hillary win. And if she does and chooses BHO, as VP and he accepts, I would def. vote for that team.

Checking blood pressure... it's back to normal... eyes aren't glazed... no head spinning around with green face... hmmm, I'm OK!

If Mc -whatever is elected to the presidential office. I will buy property out side the US borders immediately.
He is the one scary old man.

ET

I sure appreciate you pulling an "all nighter,"

Like my last post said, I have jury duty at 8:15am...I have opened another bottle in honor of you!

Side note:

Everyone I Know in Washington want the Clinton's to come back for the social life.

Isn't that funny?

Early Missouri is leaning HRC

Ah one key difference with McCain and HRC in what they say - McCain has stayed the course - Hillary has waffled and flipped - has not flopped back..
HRC will Flop back if the Iraq continues to stable.

Domestic policy - both very close
maybe McCain a little less big governement

Clinton - NY but no proportional count on delegates yes

Brain in NYC

Your girl won in New York state!

ETBH - Would that slow your trips to Fl?

Jamie,
I'm not going to change your mind about Hillary, and I don't intend to. In fact, I don't want to. You are entitled to your opinion. But when left wing tools like Stephanie Miller say Ms. Clinton can be bitchy, I can only think she didn't get that reputation from the right. And if you trust nothing that Tweety says (which is probably good judgment), you need to question when he says Ms. Clinton is really lovable.

xoxo,
dnd

I'll be back in an hour... but just had to say.. Jaysus, LaLi, that (holland tunnel) line was funniest I've read in days.. i'm typing from the floor.. i cant breathe.. call 911

Msnbc called Mass. for clinton. Wonder what Ted thinks about that?

Ping, you are kidding right? regarding McCain and Clinton? Just on the aspect of social issues it's night and day.

On foreign policy I don't think Hillary has been supporting the war. She supported a resolution that gave the President the authority to go to war IF the intelligence supported it. This vote was after 9/11 when everyone was absolutely freaked about terrorism. I don't think Hillary expected the WH to interfere with the intelligence agencies to alter their reports to make the case FOR war.

Hillary was in a no win situation here. Edwards and democrats were saying she should apologise for her vote. But if she did she would have appeared weak (a female stereotype). She couldn't do that. Plus, she voted for it on good faith that war would have been the very last possible option, NOT the first one.

Ok good night... thanks for the good news on NJ... Let's hope Hillary takes MASS too, it would make my (night?).

xoxoxo

So, tell me, LaL...do you have a goatee, like BR...or did you shave it off earlier, when you were doing the total body shave?

and nothing is OVER until I say it is OVER!!

also, thanks for the "business time" earworm!!!...LOLOLOLOL!!!!

well Blond W... I am a bit of a vote tally junkie. I get wound very tight, end up biting nails and pacing. It's 3 am here. Normally I open my shop at 6 am, but my worker is opening in 3 hours and I go there at 11:30. I HAVE TO SLEEP NOW.

Again, apologies for over-the-top....reactions. Mea culpa.

Nothing makes the the fight more fun then a good party! ;)

Well, I met a girl in West Hollywood
I ain't naming names
She really worked me over good
She was just like Jesse James
She really worked me over good
She was a credit to her gender
-Mitt Romney

did i see that someone actually asked would hillary be that much different than McCain....? Naw, I couldnt have.......

CNN coverage is superior..it is interesting to visit the exit polling for each state. I do not include Bill Bennett in my positive assessment of CNN. 10 minutes of MSNBC was enough.

It looks like Clinton is going to carry Mo as wel

Juan Williams had to tell Brit Hume that Delware is number 8 in percentage of african american population and Hume said.." shows you what I know"

at least he is selfaware

no one would really ask that would they?

Jeez, this thread has been up for 15 minues and there are already 44 posts.

You guys gotta get a life (he said as he switched to Fox news for the wingnut perspective).

Mitt is good looking but he is no Lenny Kravitz.

Or fifty cent

" if the Iraq continues to stable." You might want to start watching BBC or reading newspapers outside the U.S. Surge not working. Where the extra men are, it is quieter. The violence all moved north, and the slaughter of non combatants isn't exactly winning the U.S. hearts and minds.

damn...Chris looked like he was going to puke, when he announced HRC won Massachusetts.

Chris...dude...don't take it so personally.

Sturg... LIne em up... Look at the votes.
Of the 4 remaining left to right BO, HC, JM, MR

The difference with HRC and John McCain is John has

Nothing like a woman who steadfast in her goal, there is nothing else in this whole world like it.

great balls of fire what happened to that last post

wolf says he has magic numbers...

Tweety, should puke.

His head is on the chopping block.

I notice BONBC is showing a lot more of Tucker at McCains headquarters...

Tweetie will have his feathers ruffled.

Ping,
somebody stole your words.

Obama claims every single day of his campaign what a milestone it is that he is in the running....that is old news as well MR. B in NYC

no......phil donohue's head was on the chopping block.....matthews is comfortable enough to figure he can be a stooge for 3 or 4 more years........

" But when left wing tools like Stephanie Miller say Ms. Clinton can be bitchy, I can only think she didn't get that reputation from the right. "

Oh Christ dnd... If a man is "bitchy" they call him tough.

And furthermore, anyone who thinks Euro's comment was "racist" doesn't know any blacks. By your terms if he'd called Hillary the female Dalai Lama, it would be sexist.

Brain...what a crock...Ted Kennedy...JFKerry...in Mass....is that what you said???

The Missouri exit polls look very good for Hillary.
Kansas seems big for Obama..Governor was a big help I think.

I'm glad the GOP races are no wipeout.Let them fight
on..

Ted (K) is thinking, "you mean I wont be met at the white house by 100 virgins?"

dnd

You don't know bitch until you have wrangled with a dominatrix....I'm getting my leather ready.

I hear angels singing...

I've got a whip and chair you can borrow.

ETBH

You are really making me smile and laugh...keep it coming.

OMG...was that a low moan I heard out of Chris, when Keith announced the NJ results(will someone please play that tape again...LOL).

Money, get away
Get a good job with more pay and your O.K.
Money it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash

Money get back
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off my stack.

MSNBC declares her a winner and the next thing you hear is "but Obama is over performing expectations on delegates" ... Sheesh!

Can they be any more transparent and dumb

Jamie...sounds good...do you have those ball-type things to stick in the mouth?? Sort of like Bruce Willis in Pulp Fiction?

the obama campaign said they were going to win in Mass complain to them

Well,

I was going to say congrats to the Clinton people......I'm vacating not because I don't want to finish watching.....just a lot nicer some where else.

So Congratualtions for you victories.

Brain in NYC

Note Craig's post

Massachusetts -- Can the Kennedys deliver their home state to Barack Obama? Winning here would be sweet revenge for Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Sheila

That is "why" I switched from BONBC to CNN.

Craig..since they fired Ralph Reed (by request), can you get a spot on CNN?

Blond

No but I have this nice comfy bed for when you are through with your "guests"

Oh dear God...Chris needs to get a grip!!

You know, like, it doesn't matter, really who like wins, because, like, you owe us about ten trillion dollars.

Jamie...wow...

CNN now reporting on the killer tornadoes in Tenn.

It's funny to hear the crowing from the Clinton camp. If you look at the map, the big cities haven't reported yet so the percentages will tighten.

The other intriguing thing to me is the fact that the areas that Hillary is winning with 20%+ spreads are heavy either Latino or Portugese areas. From personal experience, they are every bit the racists that the good folks from Southie are...

I'll think about it tomorrow.......after all........tomorrow is another day.........

Nash...as usual, you totally nailed it. The "teenager in Bejing" post is all that needs to be saved from this entire thread.

I wonder how the weather in my part of the country effected things. I drove people to the polls in the middle of a tornado warning. There was alot of people there anyway. Some of them were saying it would take more than a tornado to keep them away. I thought that was cool that the election meant that much to them.

I can't disagree with Craig...I love him too much.

Blond,

The only You Tube vocal of this was very muddy, but the lyrics should get you in the mood

http://www.petulaclark.net/fanresources/songlyrics.html#ineverdoanything

Petula Clark...wow

If you look at the results further in MA, it's interesting that Springfield was basically a tie and Obama is doing well in the more affluent towns that have reported.

Craig and Co.... has the trend been in other states that Hillary would do better in working class areas than Obama? That is the trend I am seeing in Massachusetts so far...

China. India.

Get used to it folks.

The next American President, whoever that might be, will essentially be the hapless cashier at your local Target store, taking orders from the unseen "manager" over the store loudspeaker.

(Okay, that's a bit over the top. But...hey...on a night like this...what's NOT over the top?)

Mojo is going to have a cow or one more cow

Craig, is all well. Why aren't you making MSNBC watchable?

Brain in NYC

Craig is special to me because not only is he driving the family truckster on the campaign trail, but he also picked me up hitchhiking on the border and gave me a chance.

This whole election just proves that the educational system in this country is broken.

Still waiting on New Mexico...BR has sworn not to shave until the convention.

BTW,
I plan to party my ass off until I die.
Why be sour and sad?
No matter who wins we still have our freedoms?.........................................................................................................................don't we?

Craig?? Did you fall asleep on the couch?

mmmmmmm...BR should keep the goatee :)

AAAAAHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

LushIs just put on her five-year-old team-building exercise T-shirt again! Someone stop her!!!

Brain in NYC

But you have the brain of a groupie...look at your stance on BO.

good point, EmptyTalkingBigHead :)

Brain in NYC

Here is one for your guy

Bama for Obama

what does that mean, LaL???????

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...nevermind!!!!!!!

Missouri looks good for HRC...I am sorry EuroTom is sleeping.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL @ LaL!!!!

Blondewino: " he also picked me up hitchhiking on the border and gave me a chance."

ROFL....wino, yer killin' me. I've just popped open some Chardonnay myself.

Bear said: "Obama is doing well in the more affluent towns"

That tell ya anything?
_________

I haven't been watching MSNBC....oddly, I've found Foxless offensive because they are so obsessed with the Repubs....

It's still a long way until all these states are in, anyway. Nobody has gloat rights.....except maybe in MASS.

Well Boston just reported and Hillary won 49 to 48...So Obama is doing well with the rich folks and the cities and Hillary is sweeping the non english speaking enclaves, the more rural areas and the closet non white likers...

Oh, and here's my thought on MASS -- the vote turned on the Ghost of Jackie.....

HRC takes New Jersey

Blonde--

Missouri is hard sometimes because St. Louis and KC are always the last areas to dump their votes. Very heavily Black areas. But she has a good lead.

Mass and New Jersey for Clinton

during this commercial break....everybody sing!!!!!

http://youtube.com/watch?v=kHOSEcmZvG8

(and blame LaLl!!)

truebeliever...I understand, but I think she will take MO the state, not the wife.

Patsi,

They can try to gloat but Obama is doing better than expected...The Clinton's can spin all they want, but anything less than 60% of the vote isn't impressive considering how well Bill did there...

and the closet non white likers...

My error...I meant not black likers...

I did tell you that my unevolved redneck friends in MO had opted for Hillary.

"the vote turned on the Ghost of Jackie....."

yikes, Patsi...that gives me shivers

Brain in NYC

I have some very special leathers set aside for you.

It may be amusing, for the moment, to contemplate that the Clintons are enjoying their revenge.

But come November, it won't be such a pretty thing, when the Republicans once again get their revenge on the Clintons, who "soiled" America.

Now that was interesting. KO at the desk alone. Did Tweetie go away mad or just to fro up

It's all about numbers at this point.

I like the Clintons.

Ture believer

So many of my woman friends in MO are for HRC.

When the breakdown of the vote gets counted, it should be fun. We compartmentalize peeps so we can make it easy, but in fact it is one big country populated by a lot of peeps of all shapes, ethnicity, age and sex.

My fav is the Latino vote...we do not call it Latino here...it is Hispanic...and Colbert does a great Stefano with his chicas, but they are more Puerto Rican than Mexican. (I thought the fence thing he had with Lou Dobbs was fun, but not realistic of the US/Mexican Border.) I like Colbert when he says he does not see color, but I do think we all see genitals and youth. : )

OD,
"I like the Clintons."

Really? Who knew?

Folks...Truebeliever is absolutely right about Missouri votes. Predicting it early is like trying to catch a rattlesnake in a pair of pantyhose....

One leg is St. Louis. One leg is Kansas City. And the snake is all the Missssourrr-ah people in between.

So wait for about 80 percent reporting before you predict that one.

mmmmmmm...I love Provincetown!!

Jesse Jackson won Georgia, too.

Again, the Huckster is doing well...he really is getting is getting a lot of votes for little money. Chuck Norris may have more pull than we realize..he did all those infommercial with Christie Brinkley...who knew?

Quick update from the Intrade.com Presidential Futures Markets...

With an hour prior to the closing of the California polls, Clinton's probability of winning has just moved ahead of Obama. Starting 17% behind at the opening of trading today, she is currently just moved above of the margin of error.

For a futures market race to be this close this late in the voting emphasizes how close the race is in the eyes of the market. It could be a long night in California, but the market momentum has been shifting toward Clinton throughout the day.

I know me being in Southern Missouri doesn't put me in an area that is highly exposed to political input. We never see candidates here and frankly the biggest exposure to the election process here is the nightly news (very definitely mostly nbc) , political commercials and what little people get from the local newspaper (ha!) and the occassional talk show.

But honestly-----I only know of a few people who were for Obama. Almost everyone I know were for Hillary (after Edwards departure). Dems I mean. I was pretty sure she would end up well here.

Hmm..

Huckabee/McCain?

I think it was Shuster on BONBC who thought the Huckster would do well.

For the record...Chuck Norris got his first black belt from the same person I got mine

NEW THREAD

Bear...by referencing "black" belt, are you introducing race into this discussion?
Just curious.

"she is currently just moved"

should be "she just moved..."

I are edicated (and sober...Maybe that's the problem).

NOTE TO MIKE HUCKABEE

Please stop saying you will put the IRS out of business. We all know that is not true. You need to stop talking, while you're ahead.
