2008 Primaries Thread 2: THE QUICKENING

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."

This reminds me. I really need to find a local wing chun studio

argh, just fucking call ohio for hillary already and get it over with.

Hillary vs. Obama is so boring, there's nothing for any of these assholes to talk about but the 'process story.' At least there were differences between the Republicans.

can you paste your remark at the top of this thread, milo?

NYT now has TX 50-49 for Obama with 15% reporting. Are caucuses expected to break for Obama?

Dude is now leaning his upper thorax on a blade, with his assistants breaking the bricks on his back with a sledgehammer

Are caucuses expected to break for Obama?

he generally does better in cauci than she does

okay, that's over. Now what else is on....

If Obama loses by one vote in TX, it's my fault folks. Thought I'd be back home before today so I didn't vote early. My bad for keeping this charade going.

DALLAS IS AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN POPULATION CENTER IN TEXAS? The hell you say, CNN. I thought maybe that was Amarillo.

your MOM does better with cauci

BLACK FOLKS IN TEXAS LIVE IN THE BIG CITIES: NEWS AT 11

LOTS OF THEM LATINOS ALONG THE BORDER WITH MEXICO

i like the cnn dude's multi-touch big-ass plasma. Thing must have cost more than my car.

CRACKERVILLE BETWEEN EL PASO AND FT WORTH

it's just a big-ass iPhone

HOW ARE THE PARROTHEADS BREAKING IN SOUTH PADRE?

H's campaign has imitated Rove's style so far, so it makes sense to have some ballot-challenging right about now.

they're old white hippies & my brown folx, i'm betting clintonistas all of em

shit guys

I hope you die a horrible, painful death Bill Bennett

MSNBC says 0-2% of caucuses for Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dayton, & Toledo have come in.

penis cancer penis cancer penis cancer

hi guys

how was the shot of golschlager?

apparently those voters still afraid of niggers and spics voted for HRC.

Obama is Hispanic?

depends on the campaign ad

yeah i'm not sure if it's been mentioned here but there's a deep-seated mistrust of black people in the latino community. it doesn't make any sense to me, but i've seen it in fam & extended fam and it's unsettling. combine that with the fact that hispanics of all ages outnumber young white liberals + clinton's been building a base here for yeeeeeeeeeeears with frequent visits during bill's presidency and the breakdown really isn't surprising.

msnbc calling ohio for hillary

cnn called tx for obama?!?

xp Considering how late they are to get to the votes from the major cities, I think that may be a bit premature, even at 50% counted.

uh no?

xp

o rly

DALLAS IS AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN POPULATION CENTER IN TEXAS? The hell you say, CNN. I thought maybe that was Amarillo.

Milo, I feel you man, but you underestimate the magnitude of negative and moreso inaccurate stereotypes people have about Texas outside Texas. A lot of people don't think there are many black people in Texas. Also, CNN in talking down to viewers shocker.

Uhhhh. . . Drudge has HRC up in Tx., 50 to 48%. This primary fight isn't likely to be over tomorrow, I fear.

uh no?

i'm told it was on cnn.com for like 10 minutes, didn't see it

surely this will only add fuel to the SEE THE BIAS meme

Yawn, Clinton "wins" Ohio and maybe Texas. Obama "wins" Vermont.

What are the margins and delegate breakdowns? ESPECIALLY in Texas, which apparently is implying a delegate lead for Obama even if he doesn't win the popular vote?

Actually, never mind. It doesn't matter. The Obama/Clinton race has turned into a stalemate Monopoly game where there are two people left and there's a major rent-cap on Boardwalk and Park Place, even though you know one of them is more likely to win. It's just a matter of how much longer.

What's more interesting is what happened today in the Republican races. Yes Yes McCain won. That's not the interesting part. Huckabee did PRETTY FUCKING GOOD in Texas. A lot of Dem poljunkies are ignoring still how split up the GOP voters are this year.

Which is a big pile o shit for McCain. If McCain chooses Huckabee as VP, goodbye independent voters. If McCain doesn't choose Huckabee, goodbye Christian voters.

Also, AGAIN, McCain = old, lol. I think the being old thing is going to make more of a difference than the 100 years In Iraq thing (sadly).

The polls today giving McCain the lead in the GE means jackshit. it's only March.

Again, I've stated this before so this will be the last, but while the race is for both the GOP and the Dems to lose, the GOP are way more fucked this time 'round. Then again, the President of 2009-2012 is fucked by proxy. Who knows though, maybe the little roulette ball will land on '00'?

Anyway, I'm glad this is over until late April at the very, *yawn*, least.

Huck did well in OH, too.

I haven’t been watching any of the media coverage, has Chairman Dean or Speaker Pelosi been on the air? Any talk of rerunning Michigan or Florida?

lol confetti
