2008 Primaries Thread 2: THE QUICKENING

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.

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

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

(re: caucus violations)

john mccain is the GOP fall guy.

He's gonna fall onto whichever Democrat finally gets the nomination.

Tracer, that is brilliant.

The dems will elect a GIRL or a BLACK DUDE and no matter which one it is they'll proceed to oversee a term in which they have to deal with 10x the economic and foreign policy problems Jimmy Carter had to deal with. After the left embarrasses itself, the GOP will return with whoever its white knight happens to be in 2012 to save us all from doom. There's no way John McCain wins this. There's no winning in it.

fun sign caught by CNN camera at Mccain rally:

"EXPERIENCE

FOR

CHANGE!"

So Drudge says HRC is closing the gap fast in Tx (51% to 48%) . . . .

Eh, fuck this. I'ma watch this "Asian Martial Arts" thing on one of the docu channels for awhile. Another white guy/guido-looking UFC type gon' get his butt whupped by various senseis.

if her margin holds in OH there's no reason for Hilz to concede tomorrow, unless Obama's 50 magical superdelegates actually show up.

Now that's cynical.

Huck supporting McCain

No, Daniel, that's familiarity with the history of the Republican Party after Eisenhower.

As I always suggest during the downtime in political TV coverage: Namaste Yoga, on FitTV.

or as Shakey might put it in his inimitable way, simple math

Bush wasn't a white knight saving us from the doom of Bill Clinton. He came in campaigning on how to best utilize the "peace dividend."

Still, I basically agree with your view, so I'm not inclined to argue it much.

ick. the show is actually called "Mind Body & Kickin' Moves"

wait is that a UFC progam or Namaste yoga program?

So using the Slate delegate calculator--if the current percentages froze in place HRC would have a gain of 18 delegates tonight.

Tracer's Hilpatine graphic is the best thing I've seen in months.

Now that's cynical TOMBOT.

yada-da-dah-da-dah.

I tink this is fox sports

NYT has TX 50-48 for Obama with 14% reporting.

olberman on a sign spotted at hillary's rally aying "meet me in indiana":

"indiana's primary is MAY SIXTH. We're going to need some more chairs and some more water."
