Am I first??

Go Hillary...

The site is slow tonight.
Must be all those lurkers waiting for my pearls of wisdom.

You got that right Jack.....PS thanks again for the Boeing links.

They ran out of ballots somewhere in Ohio.... what were they thinking...

"oh this could be enough, yeah, no problem if we run out, most people don't show, go ahead and order 10% fewer then the number of voters, we'll save 24.00, you know they are paper this year - yeah good idea"

first graders could do a better job

repost from the previous thread

Blonde wino,

did you guys get any snow yesterday? We woke up in Alpine, Tx up on one of the mountains there and we had 45 mph wind and 20F temps and snow. Almost all morning. Then I had to drive 500 miles to go home so I could be here to vote. The 4 days before yesterday were great and looked like the Chamber of Commerce had ordered the weather.

Looks like you got the computer issues worked out.

yo soy Horsedooty!

Good looking numbers coming in from Texas. Lets keep our fingers crossed!

Ohio Exit Polls: "Hillary won by 11 points among voters who made up their minds in the last three days, 55%-44%."

One reason Hillary should hang on is that at some point between now and the convention, a deal breaker event may hit Obama, which will make him an undesirable choice to become the nominee.

6 months until the convention, history is made everyday.

Hey all you oldster ladies , those youngsters may have Obama but you could be racing your dogsled team.

My bad Newscasters = pundits

Karl Rove just about running Fox coverage tonight

Cool post Jack

I live with 2 Sberian Huskys...the puppy ate my remote tonight. That would be a rush.

Thankyou Craig
Someone has to do it, better you than me.
Could you go over and keep an eye on msnbc for me too.
That way I can read more Iditarod stories.

Jack

* Siberian*

geez, Craig, that makes me want to watch Fox all night. NOT!

I live with two ferrets(I think I have mentioned that)...they always hide the remotes...they hide everything.

wow...Huck throwin' in the towel?

OK - here is something we can all discuss.

Bush to endorse McCain and then campaign for him...

The endorsement I think helps McCain

Does Bush campaigning for McCain help....or hurt?

Discuss!

Ferrets, do they carry the remote with their hands or their mouths? I though a ferret was almost remote size.

I guess they are a bit larger. Do they do it to mess with you, like a game? Or are they stocking up?

Brattleboro VT indicts Bush Cheney: http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2008/03/04/ap4730524.html

National Journal's "The Hotline" has a blow-by-blow of tonight's events:

http://hotlineblog.nationaljournal.com/

if I were John McCain...I would run away from Bush!!

Patsi,

I would love to know some of the inside story on the tanker deal. It looks like they spread out the promise of new job in the appropriate districts for one thing. It might also be interesting to see how many retired air force colonels and generals got hired.

Jack

They will use Bush where it helps and hide him everywhere else. They know his negatives. It will help with money, and it will help with some support of McCain.

Most people know how to look at the current landscape, and to the future.....Bush and Cheney will BOTH be out of the picture. That is good for everyone! :)

Jack -- A 50 year old is "oldster?" Honey, that's cougar range, not porch rockin'.

IMHO, John McCain should run away from Bush

damn..another double post ..sorry

speaking of pets, here's a screen-cleaner for you

http://cache.valleywag.com/assets/resources/screenclean.swf

"if I were John McCain...I would run away from Bush!!"

Run ? Hell If I were McCain I'd be tempted to hire a hit man.
Most Republicans I know don't like the man, they are just marking time to the end of his term.
Its sad to say something like that about our president but damn.............

Jack

Unbelievable, Clinton is already complaining about voter intimidation in TX. Maybe she should be complaining to her staff about how they can do thier job better.

OK - here is something we can all discuss.

Bush to endorse McCain and then campaign for him...

The endorsement I think helps McCain

Does Bush campaigning for McCain help....or hurt?

Discuss!

cute screen cleaner

Colleen..that's funny!!!

Colleen -- National Journal? On a CJ blog? Boo hiss.

"Discuss!"
--Wendy FIGHT ON!

say please...

LMAO!!

Divalicias

Once your past 50 nobody counts your years any more, your just listed as old.
grin duck and run

Jack

Life begins at 50!!

Bush endorsing McCain is a Democratic wet dream.

Diva,

" Honey, that's cougar range, not porch rockin'. "

These guys just can't quite get it through their heads that the candlestick lasts longer than the candle. :)

Obama sues to keep polls open in Ohio -- only in "his" strong areas.

HELP! With less than 1% of the vote in, the Democratic primary vote is showing nearly 1,000,000 votes between the two candidates. I'm no mathematician but that don't add up...can somebody explain?

old: having been in existence since the distant past

just another resource, Diva, check or reject, matters not

CNN says McCain has the Rep nom all wrapped up...

if you cant remember your distant past does that make you younger?

yeah...MSNBC is calling JSMc the "presumptive nominee"

To clarify my post...in Texas they are showing nearly 1,000,000 votes between the two Democrats and 1% of the vote in. How does this make sense?

What I want is a picture of McCain and Bush hugging and waving to the crowd.
If I had the money I would put it up on every billboard in every swing state. I wouldn't have to say a word the picture would do everything.

You know that is what the Republicans are going to do with the "Ted Kennedy whispering in Obamas ear" that Craig posted yesterday.

Jack

Ah, Hillary complaining about caucus intimidation. How predictable. And Brokaw just said Obama has 50 superdelegates about to commit to Obama. Watch them roll them out ten at a time for a week.

Go Obama Go!!

Jamie -- "Candlestick lasts longer than the candle." Yes! Touche!

Jack --This means that boys get "old" at 40.

Which I suppose is why cougars like 'em a lot younger than 40.

8-)

Ally ,
That's 1% of the precincts..Don't quote me ;)

" Clinton is already complaining about voter intimidation in TX. "

Primary or Caucus?

If caucus it's very believable having seen some of the Obama folks in action. It's fair under those circumstances up to a certain pushy, pushy, "peter P. Pushy" point, but if someone is shy, it can be difficult.

re: 50 SD

Why not roll them all out now? Seems really questionable, to hold them back, as if they do not exist. He or they who say it, should mean it, and prove it...like a real man! (fos)

Either they are there supporting BHO or it is a lie!
Typical political BS - so much for a new political - same as it ever was.

The multiple posts was a browser/blog issue...not me

:-(

sorry.

Russert and Matthews are playing dirges for Clinton.

" Clinton is already complaining about voter intimidation in TX. "

Just workin' the refs all part of normal business.
Both sides do it.

Jack

Russert on MSNBC on who can better handle McCain if they go "mano - mano oops what's Spanish for woman? ah, ah, Mano - Womano" .

Love it!! That makes for joy in the Clinton household!

Ah, i hate to see ole huckaboo take his leave -- wow, his wife looks like his brother

Russert on MSNBC on who can better handle McCain if they go "mano - mano oops what's Spanish for woman? ah, ah, Mano - Womano" .

Love it!! That makes for joy in the Clinton household!

My brother married a cougar.

they met: he 24--she 42
married: he 29--she 47
today: he 49--she 67

"and they lived happily ever after" 8)

Huckabee on CNN giving up. Oh, sweet irony at Bush having to endorse McCain...

"Clinton is already complaining about voter intimidation in TX."

Why not Texas, Obama's union male surrogates did it at the Nevada caucuses.

Mrs. Huckabee looks like she is crying... 8(

Begala is talking sense right now on CNN. Citing the Pew poll that 25% of Hillary voters that would vote McCain if she's not the nominee -- this is very true in my area with a bunch of military who like Hillary -- but think Obama is way too green to be trusted. They will ALL vote for McCain.

This doesn't make me happy -- I can only hope that the Bush/McCain photo-op tomorrow will straighten them out. Not that it would really matter since I live in a red county in a reddish-purple state. (Virginia) They can vote for whomever and McCain will take all the precincts here. DEMs best performance has been about 48% in only two precincts in the last presidential cycle.

Rezdog: Still seems strange to me...only 800,000 Democrats voted in the 2004 Democratic Primary in Texas. With 2% of the precincts reporting, 1,000,000 people have voted in the Democratic primary so far?

"Mano-Womano" ???

Russert is such a putz. It's God getting even with him for asking Hillary the name of the forthcoming Russian president.

Just proves that God is a woman!

"wow, his wife looks like his brother"
--Craig

O....M...G!!!!!

MSNBC announced that HRC wins Rhode Island -- KO is choking on the words.

Whogivesafuckabee finally concedes.
Good riddance.
Go away.
Never come back.
Just die.

Wow Lush, good for them. : )

Maybe I should tell my friend to become a cougar, I would but I am married......lol

No se.. I read they expected 3 mil + and I 'm sure some of those W TX counties have few dems in some small precincts. Don't know the answer, but i'm sure the % means precincts.

now i feel bad, she doesn't look like his brother, just his twin. put that necklace on him and he could be a running mate with major crossover appeal

No se.. I read they expected 3 mil + and I 'm sure some of those W TX counties have few dems in some small precincts. Don't know the answer, but i'm sure the % means precincts.

damn, Divalicias...I switched to CNN coz you said Begala was on...and I missed the KO choke!!

Lush: What is the age difference required for the term "cougar"? 10 years? 15?

Rezdog: Well those precincts that are in must be the big big big ones for the math to figure...even if the estimated turnout is 3,000,000!

Now that the GOP nomination is settled, let's just sit back, relax...and watch Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews struggle vainly to stop the Democrat's Super Bowl while there's still seven minutes to go in the 4th Quater.

"Eli, Eli...you're team has LOST. Don't try to escape that sack! Don't throw that pass! The only way he could catch it is if he were to...say, trap it against his helmet! This game's over."

Whiny babies. They'll get theirs.

Ally, Call texas SOS ..

You know how those aggies are! lol

so long mike -- concession speeches should be shorter, tho

I double checked on the Texas Secretary of state and the total is 839,231

Gallup: "A strong night for Clinton last night allowed her to erase the lead Obama had held the previous six days."

http://www.gallup.com/poll/104770/Gallup-Daily-Obama-45-Clinton-45.aspx

Wonder if those 50 superDs will have second thoughts after Clinton wins OH, TX and RI and polls show Obama's national lead evaporating...

:-D

Fineman is an @ss

Ally

I don't really know the age difference, but I think the woman has to be 35+. I consider myself a "cougette", as my husband is 18 MONTHS younger than I am...LOL!!
--LushIsLinda

Let's hope Hillary follows Huckabee's example and gets out soon.

LOL "Johnny B Goode" is McCain's theme song now...?

Well, Mr. Obama, looks like the trajectory (to use your high-brow word) of this race is a chang'in. Thank you God, for this relief! I would have LOVED to see KO choking on those words.

Let's hope the Obama express comes to a screeching halt.

Is everyone getting lots of error messages?

Jamie: Yes, something funny going on.

heavy traffic on site creating technical glitches. hang in there, should smooth out shortly. meanwhile, we've got tornado warnings in DC, gettin windy out there

Hey sturg or nash if you're lurking we miss you guys, I'm doing chat tonight,email me
bgarens at gmail

Yes Jamie, this happens every election night.

Well, Mr. Obama, looks like the trajectory (to use your high-brow word) of this race is a chang'in. Thank you God, for this relief! I would have LOVED to see KO choking on those words.

heavy traffic weighin us down tonight, sorry about the glitches

BTW any Obama folk who want to join live chat email me. (no nut jobs please)

"heavy traffic on site creating technical glitches."

Hey, Craig! You still got the Trail Mix Server in your back bedroom???

So there are a lot of lurkers out there...

[she looks around the room]

This is my very first time to post on any blog. definitely positively, a HILLARY supporter.. 73 yrs young and here to say that if Obama wins the nomination, will sit out the very first time ever since starting to vote.. Will not-not-not vote for Obama..
Enjoy this site so much. Thanks for no foul language and the Kool aid drinking Obamanuts are at least not so many that you can't just slip by them.
Just one question- what does yo soy horsedooty mean? good laugh
Young 73

Craig has clogged the servers! He deserves a raise!

Dateline Dallas: The caucus

I'm no longer a virgin. I have caucused! The last time there were 14 people there, they said. This time there were 300 or so. It was packed.

The line was out the door and around the corner for the Dems to vote and about, oh, 5 folks in the Repub line. And this is a Repub strong hold.

It was noted by several people that there were more African Americans there than they knew lived in this precinct. Interesting.

tt

young73, how gracious of you to be so insulting your very first time posting.

Power went out for a bit -- now it's back on -- but we're in the basement. So what did I miss?

Congrats tt : )

Looks like Hills is closing the leads in TX.

Shit fire and save matches.

*quarter for the swear jar*

Young73 - let me be the first to WELCOME YOU!

Glad to know you're out there!

Clinton wins OHIO

Young73 --not a blog virgin any more! Welcome!

So let me just go on record and say that I was wrong.

Yes...I was wrong.

This morning I predicted Hillary would win RI by about 5%

I was wrong

Looks like she KICKED HIS BUTT in RI

My prediction of 12% - 16% is so far holding in OH

[keeping fingers crossed]

:-D

I join Wendy in welcoming Young73!

HRC wins Rhode Island

SNAP!!!!

Ohhhhhhhhh and quite possibly Ohio???

DOUBLE SNAP!!!!

btw...SNAP = BHO 12 state win streak being broken!!

CNN called Ohio for Hillary!!!

Nuthin you can say can take me away from My Girl!

Goooo Hillary!

Who is the Congressman in RI? Oh yeah! Patrick Kennedy!

WOOHOO!!!!!!!

and then takes the lead in TX...

Go Ohio!!! Nice win Hillary!!!!!

Patsi

I found some of those retired military bigshots, from the Northrup Grumman web site click on the name and get the resumes. Looks like a military retirement home

Jack

Yes....She won!! I hope she starts her speech in the middle of Obamas like he did to her........

Yes....She won!! I hope she starts her speech in the middle of Obamas like he did to her........

She won something! Oh my God! It's been so long!

And watch, at the end of the night, Barack will have expanded his delegate lead.

You Clintonites are so deluded. She ain't gonna win. But we'll keep going on with this charade.

Obama 08!

Oh Lord...Tim Russert can barely speak!!

OHIO IS HILLARY Country!

Russert on MSNBC on who can better handle McCain if they go "mano - mano oops what's Spanish for woman? ah, ah, Mano - Womano" .

Love it!! That makes for joy in the Clinton household!

Posted by: Flatus Author Profile Page | March 4, 2008 9:17 PM

In my part of the barrio "mano" means "hand" so it is mano a mano = hand to hand.

man and woman = hombre y mujer

I agree that Russert is a putz.

yo soy Horsedooty!

I wonder if BHO will even give a speech?

You know what this is like? Obama has been scoring touchdowns over and over. And Hillary just hit a field goal. Well played to Hillary. Still can't ever catch Obama.

Hillary is the new comeback kid

relax, alpha1906

tech folks tell me our server is handling the traffic now, but could get wiggly again, so be careful out there

You mean Patrick "crash my car into a Capitol barricade and then go straight to rehab" Kennedy?

;-)

Oh Lord...spit it out, Andrea

CNN reports Obama called McCain and said he looked forward to running against him. A bit presumptious?

Congratulations to Clinton fans. A good night for her so far. She amazed Bear in Rhode Island, apparently.

Wendy!: you may have a future as a pundit.

Alpha -- if you have a moment, plz visit Brian's chat room.

www. brianarens.com/blog

Wow it is getting windy outside in Northern VA.

Still can't win. I kinda feel for her. The ring is out there, but just out of reach. She needed to win overwhelmingly and she didn't. That's my great relief.

BTW, Obama will win Wyoming and Mississippi and win even more delegates before Pennsylvania.

For all of you Clintonites, how do you even image her winning? It doesn't work mathematically.

Clinton now in the lead in Texas

Labber,

Despite the spin and celebration, this race is effectively over. That's why Obama can look to McCain.

The race is a long way form over, Alpha

Looking at the CNN ohio county by county map
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/county/#OHDEMMAPprimary

Obama is not breaking 30% in the rural counties.

In Missouri, on feb 5, he broke 30% all over and often up to 40%.
He did this even in the conservative racist south part of the state.
It looks like his base is narrowing.
Not a good sign if he is to become the candidate.

Jack

Exactly alpha and watch what the super delegates do as Hillary gets even more negative. They aint going to like it!

I think Chris Obamatthews and Keith Olbarackmann both need to join Brian's chatroom...they are losin' it...very sad 8(

The race is a long way from over, Alpha. Hillary has just gotten started.

Labber, we give Hillary all of the next 16 races at a 55% to 45% clip and she's STILL going to lose in terms of delegates. This race is over. The problem is that they've given their supporters the idea that they can somehow do it. But they can't.

And by the way, the Democratic leadership will NOT allow Clinton to bash Obama for seven weeks, doing the Republican hit job. Ain't gonna happen. The superdelegates will revolt before that happens.

I'm watching the Clinton celebration and it's actually sad. All of these supporters, who've given their hearts to this campaign, are being tricked into thinking they have a chance.

The big question over the next week: Is Hillary for the Democratic Party or for herself. That will be the pressure we'll see on her campaign.

Alpha, ditto

alpha...relax....

Why can't you just allow the Hillary supporters to enjoy her victory?

Alpha...stop whining...you add nothing to the discussion.

There are folks from TX at the Second Life party who went to caucus and said the Hillary support was just as strong as the Obama support.

That could be a squeaker too.

She wins it Obamamites by pointing out that if the state is BIG and BLUE she won it. If it is tiny red and Republican, he won it. If you want to win the general you go with the lady.

I guess has Bill has better things to do then join his wife in Ohio.

Wendy -- well done, you have championed Hillary against all odds.

Is she the "comeback" kid(woman) as well?

And she wins with votes from Democrats! And women!

You've gotta be kidding me. When Obama was winning eleven straight, all of the Clintonites were calling him everything but the son of the devil.

I haven't said anything negative, but the truth. As a Democrat, I'm not surprised that a Clinton would have the interest of themselves over the party, but it is a bit sad.

But let her have the confetti. Tomorrow, the party's over.

Would you gentlemen like some cheese with that whine.

The lady don't need any hand holding...she has it handled.

We all know that this is a minor victory for HRC.

We all know that BHO will eventually be elected president.

We all know that BHO will change the world and possibly the entire universe.

and tonight

We all know that HRC has won RI and OH.

So, alpha1906, please allow us to enjoy HRC's teeny victory...OK? Stop being such a sore loser...it is very unbecoming.

Thanks!! 8)

Yep Brian - he's been dispatched to Wyoming...the race goes on!!

Maybe Bill is celebrating with some trailer park chippy.

Ah, but it's about winning delegates and not states. And if you want to win an election, you first have to win the nomination. No back room deals will allow Hillary to win.

I'll bet everyone a bag of M&Ms that superdelegates begin leaking from her campaign as early as tomorrow.

She makes a gracious point to Obama in the thank yous. Nice touch.

Nothing sore about it, just stating facts. BTW, when Clinton was losing, she suddenly forgot to thank Obama until days after. Talk about sore losers.

Alpha, That is not fair. On this list, he has been addressed as Senator. He has been praised for his intelligence. I have not seen even a little bit of name calling in his direction other than saying he needed more experience to do the job.

Throughout it all, we have endured constant name calling and bullying from the Obama supporters. The list of which looks like a class action suit for sexual harrassment.

Whether she wins or not, we have a right to celebrate without flak from the bullying losers.

"I guess has Bill has better things to do then join his wife in Ohio. "

Well, since the Obamabots would have somehow spun his appearance into a racist statement, mabye he decided to sit it out.

Below is from someone who lives in Ohio. Something is not right if this is true.

"Ohio Numbers:
11:15 PM
cough (63% susposedly counted- WITHOUT BIG CITIES AND WITHOUT MY DAMN COUNTY AND ALL OF CLEVELAND, THE COUNTY THAT RAN OUT OF BALLOTS).
1,335,997 COUNTED.
OBAMA......563,978....41%
HILL..........772,019....57%

( She did go into this with that kind of lead)

*******************
Texas:
( without Caucus results still)
40% Counted:
Obama.......817,833
Hill.............834,861
Total Counted 1,652,694 ( this suposedly does not COUNT....Houston or Dallas...)

So here is MY DUMB Question so are BIG CITY Votes and Urban Votes BEING CAGED...ALL OF THEM....IS THAT WHAT ALSO HAPPENED IN NY, ( IE HARLEM????)

So where are the results from these counties?

And if Hillary did win than I congratulate the Hillary supporters.

God Bless.

Alpha -- off you go to the naughty bench. That's quite enough out of you this evening.

You've got to be kidding, Jamie. No, seriously. You've got to be kidding. Should I go back to former posts and put them up for you? No name calling against Obama????

*does his happy gloat dance around the blog*

may I join you???

Patsi

I think they are keeping BIll away on purpose...it is a shame, but I am sure he will show-up in the White House.

It definitely is going to convention. Craig was soooooo right about MIchigan and Florida. And so right that fear is a great tool in politics.

"thank Obama until days after."

And he was so rude, he started his speech so that it stopped coverage of hers, something she has never done to him. I'm afraid the arrogance is starting to catch up with him.

Linda you searched back through weeks of posts to find that, god what a loser.

Brian...actually, I wrote it down...I knew I would be using it!!!!

Like HRC...I am always thinking ahead!!!!

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!

Not from me and cetainly nothing like The Joy of Brian

The Joy of Brian

Unless you are middle aged or above and have a vagina the magic that is Hillary is just beyond your comprehension.

Hillary, The Three Faces of Eve was not a movie about running for prez.

Shrillary has to stick it out till after Texas and Ohio, but she needs to get out real quick afterwards.

What's wrong patsi bored with trying to castrate me, now you're after warren?

Gift: Picture/I'm not a lesbian but I hate men

I think your diaper needs to be changed.

don't waste your key strokes, no point in casting pearls before swine
have you been hanging out at Craig's Kool-Aid Bar?

more Clintonista victim bullshit

I always figured Patsi a homophobe

All you'll be eating after Tuesday is crow!

I've been trying to figure out for ages how you got to be you. Now I know, garbage in - garbage out.

"teacher said every time you say "bimbo a shrew's head explodes"

you're being more vile than usual, something happen?

I was worried maybe your pessary fell out or something.

Stop whining already, that's all you do is complain.

Brian H -- Naughty bench for you too! Spit spot!

well you guys can look forward to arguing this stuff all the way to august, me thinks. and also suspect this means they'll have run together in the general, no matter what order and whether they like it or not

I seem to remember this post by Craig a while back:

If a new Texas poll has it right, Hillary Rodham Clinton's hoped-for comeback on March 4 is in serious jeopardy. A CNN survey finds Clinton at 50 percent and Barack Obama at 48 percent for the Texas Democratic primary, a dead heat well within the poll's margin of error. But roughly 25 percent of voters said they might change their minds. More on CQ Politics PollTracker

Anything that close in Texas would be a disaster for Clinton. If she only narrowly wins the popular vote, Obama’s commanding lead among African-American voters could give him the edge in delegates. That is because state party rules award delegates within each state senate district -- and award more delegates to districts, such as those with large black populations, where voters historically turn out in greater numbers for Democrats.

Clinton is counting on her lead among Hispanic voters for a boost, but in recent years their turnout has been low, depressing the number of delegates allocated to their districts.

Losing the delegate race in Texas would not only overshadow a slim lead in the popular vote for Clinton. It would severely undermine her bid to win unelected “superdelegates” who are likely to be the swing vote in the nomination battle.

you people really need to get a life, It would never occur to me to save anything either of you had ever posted. But I appreciate your attentions, sad as they may be! too funny.

AP

All of those votes are being counted. CNN just went over them. The counting is slow because they are so large. Harris County for one is huge.

Texas will be very close because of those huge urban counties and Sen Obama may still win it.

The super delegate will change its color more than a chameleon on an oriental rug over the next few months. I am so befuddled by the media claim that if HRC stays in it is good for JMc and not the dems....oh no, no. It is better for JMc to fight a war on two fronts. If it just BHO or HRC, he can hone his attack. But, if the repugs do not know who will be the nomination...so much the better. I am really tiring of the media stupidity.

Brian

Not much saving involved. That's only three days of your vile screeches and insults.

Craig -- An old world marriage? Oy veh!

ha, diva, more like a shotgun wedding where they bride and groom are holding the weapons

ohhhhh...I would love to watch the sparks fly, in the White House, with Hillary and Bill and Barack and Michelle!!!!

Sounds like a reality show in the making!!!

And I actually heard chanting at HRC victory speech in Ohio. Oh dear. BHO in Texas not getting the same response as HRC in Ohio.

Obama says he called John McCain to congratulate him -- did he forget to call HRC to congratulate her? He wans us to think he's running against McCain now.

Hmmm... not so inspiring tonight.
Factories in OH, plains of TX -- where he lost.

jaime, well said. But I would say that his audacity (not arrogance) is catching up with him.

BW: That 's because the speech is actually a long, slow scowl. It's a downer.

Brian...I didn't "save it", save it...I actually wrote the time and date down on a little heart shaped post it note.

c'mon...have a sense of humor!!

you know, secretly, you are LYAO!!!!

Don't worry Lush I'll be doing my dance again on Saturday and next Tuesday. Get your pencil out!

ohhhhhhhh...you know MLRO is gonna be spankin' that BHO a$$ tonight!!

He is probably afraid to go back to the hotel or plane!!

Hillary made a very good speech. I look forward to her coming to Oregon for our May primary.

ROFL, Jamie!

Bitter, table for one?

It will be one of the highest rated reality shows in a long time based on the turnout for the primaries. In watching the repug numbers vs. the dem numbers...it is amazing.

I am so happy...I hope for the dream team, too.

OD: Oregon is pretty much in the bag for Obama, yes? What part of the state are you in?

Congrats Hillary... fight this thing to the convention... And you go Patsi and Jamie...

I should have directed my bitter comment to two extremely aggressive Obama supporters here... bitter table for 2...

off to work

Not sure that "world is watching" line is going to be effective in the general -- isn't that the sort of thing Kerry got knocked for? Suggesting that we should be voting a certain way to please the rest of the world.

ROFL, Jamie!

There he goes bringing up his mother...Its amazing NOW HE MENTIONED HIS MOTHER IS WHITE. Never heard him mention his mothers race till tonight....He keep that low key....There is his Trump Card..

Brian...no doubt

But you have to admit, that was hilarious and very clever(if I do say so myself)!!

(still)LMAO!!

And don't forget kiddies WY is a caucus state!

BHO outspent HRC in both of the big states...and like Romney...maybe $$$ (Moolah, maybe) doesn't equal delegates. Perhaps, HRC did show some Moolah.

cute perhaps, clever umm....., well sure if have your night, she did well in Ohio, had to go slimy to pull it off, but she won Ohio nicely.

What do you know about Wyoming, Brian?

Craig -- CNN reporting lots of hostilities between the staffers of BHO and HRC -- fights breaking out on conference calls to reporters. Oh dear -- fear you're right -- the Hatfields and McCoys.

Dang -- It's sounding scary here in Stafford. Going to the safe room now.

She was so slimy. One commercial with a ringing telephone and sleeping babies plus one smart ass remark about his 2002 "speech" ... Not exactly slash and burn of her opponent.

Everything else he did to himself, was done by his campaign staff, or was done by Right Wing Republicans beginning at the time of his first run for the Senate.

RE: Caucus Irregularities

1) Irregularities: Prematurely Taking Precinct Convention Packets by Obama Campaign

Numerous calls have shown that Obama supporters prematurely removed convention packets from polling places. Packets may not legally given out until 7:15 PM or when the last voter has cast a ballot in the primary. The Texas State Party warned the Obama campaign in writing that they may not take these packets early or remove them from the polling locations.

2) Voter Intimidation: Lock-out of Clinton caucus goers by Obama Campaign

Numerous calls have been received that the Obama campaign has taken over caucus sites and locked the doors, excluding Clinton campaign supporters from participating in the caucus. The Clinton supporters have been unable to enter the premises to caucus. In at least one instance, law enforcement was called and forcibly opened the caucus site.

3. There are numerous instances of Obama supporters filing out precinct convention sign-in sheets during the day and submitting them as completed vote totals at caucus. This is expressly against the rules. The sign-in sheets were copied by the Obama campaign from the Texas Democratic Party website and taken by supporters to various polling places to sign-up caucus goers prior to the start of the caucuses

I guess there will be no thrills, in Chris' legs, tonight!!

BW is saying BHO was talking about Tina Fey/SNL, on his plane today.

The computation of delegate apportionment.

If you understand that phrase, then you might understand how Democratic candidates end up with delegates.

I certainly don't understand the process. A process that diverges from the one person, one vote type of counting that we've been used to ever since we were kids.

I think that each state organization can make their own rules that are based on historical data. That's fine so long as the data is still relevant--something that I question in many of the states in which caucuses have been a major part of the electoral process.

We've ended up with a bunch of rules; the Law of Rules.

Which may not be even close to what we learned as youngsters when we were taught how one person, one vote enabled our Rule of Law, not the Law of Rules that has appeared so starkly this primary season.

To Alpha and Brian... I did not insult BHO! Or you.
Sounds to me like you two are sore losers..
As to the Arthimetic - Do not forget Florida & Michigan.
Florida delegates will definitely be given to HRC.
Then lets see how the delegates rack up.. He didn't win Ohio - let's see him win the prez.. No way..
Ohio by 15% RI 18% Hillary .. that's our girl
young 73

my goodness...it is like a tornado here!!..yikes!!

Hillary is going to be tranced in WY that's what I know Blondie.

Dog, with regards to your 11PM post, Hillary didn't surprise me, she met what my expectation for the vote there.

With regards to Ohio, the one telling statistic is that 8 of every 10 voters who said race of the candidates was an issue voted for Clinton. So all of you complaining that the black vote is nothing but lemmings can now keep quiet.

To everyone gloating, congratulations on giving the presidency to McCain. All HRC has done is proven that she is incompetent when it comes to hiring a staff since it took her a few reshufflings before they got their shit together. She has demonstrated that she can't manage money or a large organization well since it took her over $100 million and countless months to actually find something that worked. If she was really a good fighter, she would have done this in January and iced things before super tuesday. I wonder when the announcement that Dick Morris is on her staff will come out?

Lastly, where are all the indignant Clinton supporters when Paul Begala says that Obama won't get all of Hillary's votes? The utter hypocrisy of people on this site is alarmingly funny. I am just glad that my doctor tells me that I have a low likelihood of seeing a McCain presidency.

I bid you all peace. Remember the shit you all fling in the air eventually does come down and it leaves a nice stench.

After monitoring the discord in this room and countless others in the blogosphere, logic has been replaced by dogmatic idealism that would make the Soviets proud.

young73 I have little if no respect for people who make statements like if Hillary loses I'm sitting it out. Despite my feelings that Hillary is not in our best interest if by some miracle she should win the nomination I will hold my nose and vote for her. I care too much for the lives of our soldiers and too many concerns about what can happen to a woman's right of choice that I would do anything that would make it easier for John McCain or any other repug to win in the general. Frankly statements like yours disgust me.

"Lastly, where are all the indignant Clinton supporters when Paul Begala says that Obama won't get all of Hillary's votes? "

Hanging out with all the Obama voters Michelle said wouldn't vote for Clinton.

Bear...

How True.

God Bless.

When this thing is over, we all need to pur aside hurt feelings and unite for a Democratic victory. One way or another, I prefer that both of these candidates end up on the ticket.

The last Oregon poll I saw had Hillary ahead by 8 points. Competitive state. President Clinton won here twice. Should be interesting..
