2008 Primaries Thread 2: THE QUICKENING

ware u hearing this?

that has been the rumor for a week, why would he endorse while voting was half over in tx? he'll wait until tomorrow

yah maybe part of the master plan w/those 50 super delegates brokaw mentioned to push hillary out

Marc Andreessen: likes Obama

Has Obama's skin been darkened in a Clinton campaign video?

dailykos is kind of turning into dailyracetwat

or maybe it's always like this, I never read it before

well it's always the last four letters anyway

eh it just looks desaturated and contrasty - a popular palate for painting political opponents ominous

VT called for McCain and Obama.

saying that the media reporting on his successes and her failures in each and every one of the post-Super Tuesday states constitutes some sort of bias is pretty fucking dumb.

what's even dumber is imagining that anyone here is saying this?

i'm not sure why it makes me so upset that so many people here really go for the "hillary = don corleone" line. or that so few of us actually seem to be listening to what others are saying. or that so few of us are responding to the strongest version of the arguments they disagree with, instead of the weakest. or that so many people here are fine to go with "conventional wisdom" about the democratic nominees, when the conventional wisdom over the last several decades has wound up being pretty uniformly hostile to progressive interests, and when the conventional wisdom about this race is peddled by such obvious boobs. and i'm not sure why it gets me all het up that people feel a need to take stark and defiant sides in this nomination, and gleefully pile into all the theatre that taking sides entails.

just got back from voting in CleVegas. A bad ice storm has shut down the light rail which I usually take and would've prevented me from voting but thankfully my alarm malfunctioned last night. I had to drive into work and could drive to the polls afterwards.

I wonder how many potential voters have been shut out. I blame Diebold.

I wrote in Brett Favre btw

THAT'S SICK

j/k.

Bernie Kosar always gets my vote.

;)

how quickly they forget brian sipe

tracer, i wasn't meaning to position that argument on anyone posting on this thread; i was merely trying to make a rather basic assertion that winning electoral contest will result in positive press due to the nature of political coverage, and in this case obama has benefitted from that.

CNN reporter lady, why the long face?

i'm not sure why it makes me so upset that so many people here really go for the "hillary = don corleone" line

i'm not sure why you believe so many people here go for it

Ohio called for McCain yeah of course whatever

Pundits are already talking of "cosmos shifting" back to Hillary based on exit polls. We already knew she'd probably win Ohio. How do they get away with such nonsense.

it's gabbneb's fault

Have you seen the Texas early votes coming in? Crazy numbers - 750,000 counted so far, Obama up 58/41

!!

old people vote slower?

Hillary's up in Ohio 62/36. 0% reporting.

winning ever non-redneckpopulation center

ooooooh shit Texas is up to 1% reporting! I need to stopping checking the nyt site.

HRCfriend: ok so there are STILL people voting at my precinct in the PRIMARY and there are 500 people in line to caucus
Sent at 7:53 PM on Tuesday
me: shit
HRCfriend: i get up at 5 in the morning, i can't wait all night
me: i know right
HRCfriend: and people there had absolutely no clue what to do with that many people there
the people who were running it
me: wow
HRCfriend: yeah
me: and presumably nobody's name is on anything yet cause its nuts
HRCfriend: it took me a half hour to finding a parking spot and then i waited in line a while

CNN SHITBIRD BILL BENNETT just referenced his Book of Virtues

Didn't he get busted for gambling away a shitload of money in AC?

god, fuck you CNN for hiring this asshole

Bill Bennett: 'The Bookie of Virtue'

i'll be curious to see how this wraps up:

clinton camp has "emergency" conference call regarding the texas caucus, claiming that obama caucusers are blocking out hillary supporters:

http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/03/texas_battle_heats_up_clinton.php

if it's legitimate, we'll see, but i really wouldn't be surprised if it's an attempt to de-legitimize the caucus in advance, as it's expected for obama to win it

meanwhile, no more huckmentum, he's out:

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/03/04/huckabee-ends-presidential-run/ (no story yet)

So a split decision tonight is likely: HRC wins Ohio and RI/Obama wins Tx. and VT. If that happens, what are the chances of HRC withdrawing?

VT's been called for Clinton

you mean RI

Rt. VT's been called for Obama, I thought.

yeah, Obama's lead in VT is overwhelming now.

ciderpress otm

that was a boo boo on my part

Both Camps Claim Irregularities, O's Camp Provides List of Violations

"unnecessary encroachment.... 10-yard penalty"

Even after the useless 2006 Congressional class, I figured the Democrats couldn't fuck up the perfect storm of Iraq, the economy, corruption and general ineptitude.

I wuz wrong.

This sucks.
