2008 Primaries Thread 2: THE QUICKENING

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:

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.

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.

eh?

live a little!

i was lying awake last night convinced we're gonna lose in nov

this mccain speech is really creepy.

wau

helping business through lowering taxes and regulations

hillary's got a decent margin over obama right now in ohio -- cnn has her at 58% and him at 40%, with already 25% of precincts reporting

i was lying awake last night convinced we're gonna lose in nov

Prepare yourself now.

why creepy

I wuz wrong.

Always depends on the candidates. If Romney or Huckabee was the GOP nominee, I'd say the nasty primary battle between HRC and Obama is irrelevant, and I'd feel pretty confident that we'd win the GE. But against POW/American-Pie Straight-Talking Sen. John McCain . . .

did u hear how he fucked a lobbyist

john mccain is the GOP fall guy.

btw i assume its already posted but ya know gloria steinem sez dude's pow experience wasn't really that big a deal...

so hey if we've got gloria fucking steinem on our side

making brilliant, insightful commentary like that

gloria stienem and ann coulter: united at last

i mean she wrote a good-if-flawed book and has done some good shit but wtf steiny
