"help me find a thread on ILX" thread, 2010:

what was that thread again where we discussed sexing muppets?

oh yeah, the 2008 Primaries Thread 2.

ive totally agreed about obama's subpar debate performance so far but i thought last night he really owned it... he wasn't really 'uhhh'-ing at all, to the point that it seemed like he was consciously avoiding it, and his response to the plagiarism q was extra-eloquent. im really surprised everyone thought hillary aced that one ... and frankly i thought she'd totally killed him in the debates id seen previous

Are all the (HRC/BO) supporters expected to just automatically vote for the other Dem. candidate once the primaries are over, after months of being divided?

well yeah, what are they gonna do, switch to mccain?

I guess some will stay home or whatever

I know, stupid question probably. Don't have that kind of system over here (Belgium) - I can imagine some won't even bother voting anymore if their candidate doesn't win (so the longer this takes, the better news for McCain, potentially)?

Depends, to a great extent, on what the losing candidate does. If he or she enthusiastically and gracefully endorses the winner, the losing candidate's constituents should mostly migrate over to the winner. But if it's ugly or unseamly or bitter . . . .

Even if NY mattered, I wouldn't vote for Clinton v McCain. Hell, if Obama picked Richardson for veep I might not vote for him.

HOWZ ABOU"T NADER THEN MORB?

^^^ what he said. I will not vote for Hillary. Or McCain.

we've been over this (scroll back 7000 messages lolz)

sorry didn't mean to sound so sarcastic

there are a few ppl on the thread who say they won't vote for Clinton no matter what. and on the other side I'm sure there are a few Romney or Giuliani die-hards who hate McCain enough to stay home or switch sides. but for the most part, by November people will probably fall in line with the person their party puts up

ah, ok. brb

Obama doesn't seem to be campaigning at all on Sesame Street.

I won't vote for Hill in a state that will swing Democratic anyway. I'm voting Nader.

oh man, i want to see obama riding snuffleupagus please please

BAWWWW

Richardson = econ reactionary (not crazy bt teh gayz either)

http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/blogs/thelede/posts/0202mccain.jpg

btw it seems that mccain was largely successful in turning that ny times piece into an issue w/ the ny times rather than his own campaign and unless some more info turns up i guarantee its going to stay that way

aka deej otm, tracer hand zero :p

I'll buy the econ reactionary charge, but I really feel the gay comment he's accused of making was Gotcha politicking at its worst, and that the guy has a stellar record of liberalism w/r/t social issues not disincluding homosexual rights.

Obv., it's a bit premature, and it's always easy to criticize in retrospect, but it's still interesting that post mortems on HRC's campaign are being written now.

Hold me closer, Tiny Dancer.

Obv., it's a bit premature

It seems very premature! Obama is probably going to be the nominee, but it is nowhere near a certainty at this point.

I feel like Obama MIGHT win Texas and then it'd be all over. but jeez the vote's a week and a half away.

It's premature, yes. I know things don't look good from my pov.

I live in DC so it doesn't matter whatsoever but I would have a real tough time voting for Obama.

guys, just fyi, if you don't know, McCain looks funny when he's shaking hands or hugging or waving or pumping his fist, because his arm-raising ability is limited by like torture and stuff

Why would you have a tough time voting Obama? xpost

:-(

back to muppet humor

I mean sure he's not running a daycare center but what do you mean?!?!!
