2008 Primaries Thread 2: THE QUICKENING

god i love that photo

It's a classic.

The memories.

I was just thinking about that opus picture after Tracer posted the original!

I think it might be my favorite of the book covers. (Though the Deathtongue-as-U2 pose on the back cover of the one before it comes close.)

Anyway, to answer Tracer's question, if we get a photo of Obama in a bikini sitting in Hillary's lap, we have a winning ticket for the ages.

Seriously, reverse the heads.

Some Texas caucus results

The early results, though, Have Obama ahead -- sometimes by quite large margins -- in 21 of 31 Texas State Senate districts; Clinton leads, often by equally large margins, in the rest. (from Ben Smith/Politico)

lol good call ned

she looks like Christian Slater.

kind of gross: (in Ohio): 20% of Democrats (and these are Democrats, remember) saying that race was a factor in their decision; of those,three quarters went for Clinton. (also from Ben Smith)

again, the Clinton-Obama talk, real or not, is just sugar to make the superdelegate medicine go down easier

don't call us, we'll call you

Haha, glad to see that. What stage is bargaining again?

Denial -> February doesn't matter
Anger -> The media is unfair!
Bargaining -> Hey where my veeps at?
Depression -> ???

Clinton will fight on for at least the next seven weeks, until Pennsylvania votes on April 22. To get an idea of how long a period that is in political years, the Iowa caucuses — remember them? — were only eight weeks ago.

OMG NO NO NO NO NO NONONONONONONONONONO

any word on why the networks only have 36% in for the texas caucus? it's been like that since this morning

yeah, I was gonna do the stages a while back too

...of grief?

obama: "I hope people start asking is what exactly is this foreign experience she is claiming," he said. "Was she handling crises during this period of time? I haven’t seen any evidence that she is more equipped to handle a crisis.

"She made the experience argument and her ability to handle a crisis, so I think it is important to examine that claim and not just allow her to assert it," he added. "She has made the argument that she is thoroughly vetted. If the suggestion is somehow that on issue of ethics or disclosure or transparency that she is somehow going to have a better record than I have or could (better) withstand Republican attack, then that should be tested."

oh shit its on now hillary threw the red phone on the table and now its on pray for us all

jhøshea, february's the longest month -- we're out of those woods

yeah, here come those attacks on Hillary you guys have been talking about

i was a t a bar last night and they were playing the rangers/islanders game and theres like one guy watching the fucking shoot out then they put the election comes on and everyone immediately crowds around and and starts talking abt super delegates and the texas caucus - its a national obsession everyone is an expert - i blame the blogs

they should agree to both campaign against mccain for the next 7 weeks and not each other

i think this is awesome

they should agree to run the fucking obama/clinton superticket i demand it !!!!

having clinton as vp nullifies obama's independent appeal

jhoshea = bro for the ages.

Yo jhøshea, come to dazzle ships tonight broheems

XPOST

how pathetic is it that in this election cycle the Republicans rallied around their candidate, McCain (who a fair portion of the party doesn't even like) quicker than the Dems did around theirs.

most dysfunctional party ever.

Even so I still don't see Hillary pulling this out. At this point she's just damaging the party's chances in November.

dazzle ships is 2 heathers jon?
