Clinton's going to take Texas AND Ohio. It's the SNL effect. I'm not kidding either, and neither is the MSM. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080304/ap_en_tv/obama_media Notice this has hit the AP now. Hillary is making a big comeback, folks, just like New Hampshire, just like when she was the "underdog" before. She's not out of this yet.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Mar 4, 2008 -> 08:09 PM) well, one prediction down the drain. i guess Huckabee is finally giving up and will concede the nomination tonight. My inlaws talked to one of their friends in Odessa, TX, where Huckabee was last night. They point blank asked him why he stayed in so long, and he told them that basically he's running again in 4 years and he wanted to stay in as long as possible... but the interesting part is that Huckabee was saying that McCain won't run again, WIN OR LOSE. Very interesting.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 4, 2008 -> 04:18 PM) I haven't seen any exit polls yet, but the overall polling data that is out there for the last couple days seems an awful lot like New Hampshire. A close race breaking Hillary's way in each of the major states and nationally as well. QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 4, 2008 -> 04:19 PM) Nothing yet... http://thepage.time.com/2008/03/04/6th-avenue-two-step/ I keep saying that this is New Hampshire all over again, but no one wants to believe me. The 3AM ad was effective. The sad thing is, I don't think I'm kidding.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Mar 3, 2008 -> 10:29 PM) Wait, you mean an English tabloid would take a celebrity's comments out of context? What? Whatever, she's not the brightest bulb in Le Lite Brite Box. But she was amazing in that movie. Can I use that phrase when I go to Paris in a month? Of course, I'll just be another "stupid American".

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Mar 3, 2008 -> 12:51 PM) Prediction of the day: Even after McCain gets 1191 delegates, Huckabee stays in the race. Huckabee is hoping for an overthrow of McCain. I'm serious.

Now, as I said before, if Clinton wins both tomorrow, then all bets are off, again. And while I'm not quite the conspirist that AngelsDaddy is, when Clinton clean sweeps this thing tomorrow, it might be Obama that loses 11 in a row.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Mar 3, 2008 -> 12:35 PM) What are the latest poll figures in Texas and Ohio?? ? Both are within the margin of error. And I have already heard personally that there's some bait and switch going on, especially with the caucus part down here.
-
Getting tons of calls from the Obama campaign. Tons. I'm sick of the damn phone ringing. Well... if I get off work early enough, I'll probably go to the caucus, more then anything just to watch. But that means I'll have to vote... oh the pain... I'm voting for Hillary.

QUOTE(knightni @ Mar 2, 2008 -> 05:14 PM) You don't need to be a psychologist to notice this stuff. The players themselves talked to the media about boycotting their own game vs. Northwestern and write Sampson's initials on their shoes. They go out and play like crap versus NW, a team obviously not on the same talent level with them. Then go back to Assembly Hall and squeak by a clearly inferior Ohio State team. I would agree that they have lost their mojo, so to speak. -
Blackhawks, United Center Question

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Mar 2, 2008 -> 08:28 PM) Meh. I wasn't that impressed. And Stars fans are kinda jerks. The fans that were there, that is. But, the 'hawks got absolutely smoked at the game, so they were pretty loud, and they shoulda been. I like the area around the AAC, though. The area around the arena is just spectacular, compared to what was there even three years ago. It's really grown up. I like the AAC, but not as much as some other places I've been. Part of my "fondness" is that I worked there for 2.5 years. I know that building very very well. -

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 2, 2008 -> 12:59 PM) Indiana is in the middle of a property tax revolt, it could be interesting. I heard a little about that. And it sounds like the governer is another George W. Bush (a stupid ass who wants to ram s*** down people's throats whether they are for it or not).

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 2, 2008 -> 12:30 PM) Indiana welcomes Cook County with its 6% sales taxes, and much lower property taxes You really will see a shift if something like that starts to happen... especially on the property taxes.

QUOTE(AngelasDaddy0427 @ Mar 2, 2008 -> 10:17 AM) Apparently it's all over the net. Obama really did contact the Canadians and the CTV story was completely true... This is the nail in the coffin for Obama. He was a huge underdog before that this make it impossible. Even I'm not that damn drastic. For the first time since Super Tuesday, Hillary is in real trouble. I'm as a big of a consipracy theorist as they come regarding Clinton, but even I realize it's an uphill battle for her now. Where are you getting your dreams from? Just curious.

I do have to say that the rendition of Imagine was pretty damn good. He sang the hell out of that song.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Mar 1, 2008 -> 11:51 PM) Viral gastroenteritis sucks. The entire family went through it, I thought I was in the clear. However my entire day has been set praying to the porcelain god and his trusty friend Senior Garbage can. I haven't puked like this since my travels for work around the world. God this sucks. That stuff is going around, all around the country. And when you get it, it's really bad, from what everyone is saying. I really hope I don't get it... but there's been 4 people in my department that has gotten it now, I think.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Mar 1, 2008 -> 11:40 AM) I 100% agree with this. Right now there are 11 teams in front of the Hawks in the West. Should I expect all those teams to stand pat this summer or just get worse? The majority will get better. As it stands, the Hawks are on the outside looking in. All along I thought this off-season the Hawks needed a #1 D man and a top 6 wing. After the way Keith and Seabrook have played, along with the steady play of Wiz-Sopel-Hendry, I think they could stand pat with the D. I do still think they need an impact wing, ala Hossa. It's impossible and rather dumb to count on Havlat for anything, and Sharp-Toews-Kane alone isn't going to march this team into the playoffs. Oh, and while I really think "toughness" in hockey gets overblown by idiots that just want to see hits, the Hawks have to be one of the softest teams in the league, especially after the departure of Ruutu. It's pretty bad. Burish is a scraper, but doesn't scare anyone, Wiz will drop them every so often, and Buff is invisible at times on ice. Going after a guy like Laraque could do wonders for a lot of players on the Hawks. I disagree. The 'Hawks don't need any more toughness, they need some OLDER skill players that can show the young guys how to grow up. Richards would have been ideal but I understand why he came to Dallas instead of Chicago. Although, I wouldn't mind seeing a friend of mine in Chicago.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Mar 1, 2008 -> 01:33 PM) He's good because he wears a lapel pin, right? If Obama wouldn't make it a damn point just to make it a point, it wouldn't be a point at all. Think about it.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 29, 2008 -> 04:30 PM) Senator Claire McCaskill, D-MO, who has endorsed Sen. Obama in the campaign, has introduced a bill to the Senate that would define "Natural Born Citizens" as written in the constitution to include any person born to any citizen of the United States while serving in the active or reserve components of the United States Armed Forces. Senator Obama is now co-sponsoring the bill. Nice job, by both.
