8:45 p.m.: Obama continues to dominate in Dane County. He has not lost a single municipality with all of the following reporting: Albion, Berry, Black Earth, Blooming Grove, Blue Mounds, Burke, Christiana, Cross Plains
Deerfield, Dunkirk, Dunn, Mazomanie, Medina, Middleton, Perry, Pleasant Springs, Primrose, Roxbury, Sun Prairie D-3, Vienna D-2, Westport, York, Belleville, Black Earth, Blue Mounds, Brooklyn, Cross Plains, DeForest, Marshall, Mount Horeb, Rockdale, Shorewood Hills, and Middleton. McCain was also the victor in all of those with the exception of Christiana and Albion. Those communities went to Huckabee.

heh

you're god damn RIGHT he won wisconsin -- i think it was the sticker on the back of my car

Also, WOW @ "I'm not running because I think it's owed to me"

Obama said this? That sounds like a swipe at McCain's line, delivered after the last round of primaries, that he (McCain) isn't "running because I think I have been delivered here to solve the nation's problems."

who was it who remarked that McCain is pissed that it took this dude like 5 years to get where it took him 25.

Obama wasn't 894th out of 899 in his class, I'm guessing

that michelle obama comment is gonna be coming back around again and again dudes, i can see the avalanche of right wing strips now ... its another way to get at race w/out talking about race

OTM

maybe it answers my silent question why we hadn't seen more of the fam and heard more from her - i think she can give an amazing speech, but she may not have the best political instincts.

Also, WOW @ "I'm not running because I think it's owed to me"

Obama said this? That sounds like a swipe at McCain's line, delivered after the last round of primaries, that he (McCain) isn't "running because I think I have been delivered here to solve the nation's problems."

He said it during his rally in Houston tonight (that's still going on as of 10:15 pm EST). I totally took it as a dig at Hillary's inevitable nomination.

Whatevs. How did McCain sound tonight, i.e., was he as listless and flat as he has been lately, or does he have renewed energy?

(xp)

at this point, who cares what mccain sounds like? it's a marathon not a sprint etc. for the same reason, if'n mccain tries to make michelle obama's comment as a major thing it will backfire, and if cindy mccain tries to inject herself into this then her record is wide open and that ain't good.

too early for worry, is all i'm saying.

i like obama on the civil rights tip @ houston

I'm curious, Dimension.

oh man, bring on the michelle obama vs cindy mccain debate

And wrestling match!

oh god, i'm myspace messaging with the dude who forwarded me that ignorant bullshit.

so obama started his speech before hillary was done with hers on purpose? kinda telling. it's a way of saying you are OVER. same with the way McCain just took on obama and didn't bother mentioning hillary. stick a fork in her already.

i hate to admit it but david brooks made me laugh today:

"They see her campaign morosely traipsing from one depressed industrial area to another — The Sitting Shiva for America Tour. They see that her entire political strategy consists of waiting for primary states as boring as she is."

from this:

also laughed at "Ian McEwan-centered book clubs"

hey, i gotta call the funny when i see it.

WHERE'S YOUR SMUG SMILE NOW??

barack obama: america's next top sherriff

'scuse me while i whip this out.

two weeks out:

A new CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll suggests the battle for the Democratic presidential nomination between Sens. Hillary Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois is a statistical dead heat in Texas, which holds primaries March 4.

In the survey, out Monday, 50 percent of likely Democratic primary voters support Clinton as their choice for the party's nominee, with 48 percent backing Obama.

But taking into account the poll's sampling error of plus or minus 4½ percentage points for Democratic respondents, the race is a virtual tie.

"out monday" wow i am eons behind in this thread

lol cosmo

Where the white women at? I only got 47% of you.

if'n mccain tries to make michelle obama's comment as a major thing it will backfire

Sounds like a job for... surrogates!

phew its a good thing there are no surrogates in american politics

obama in hat = morgan freeman in Unforgiven

It's always good to have upper-crust conservatives around to remind us about the unabashed patriotism of the Rest Of America. You guys really keep me grounded. Thanks.

ps That picture is awesome on so many levels.

hillary clinton: solutioneering new paradynamic concepts for the post-y2k millenium, for america, forver

he is quite good-looking, he looks surprisingly convincing in cowboy gear, and it reads, to me, as a subtle jab at Bush

bah, two more weeks of drawn-out shenanigans 'til Hillary's Florida.

Why can't Oregon's primary be NEXT week so there's something to do, and we can have the lolz of being ignored by the clinton campaign while attending michelle obama events?
