QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 7, 2008 -> 01:48 PM) The most updated count (CNN.com) in Indiana gives Clinton a 14,413 lead. Still shows at 99% counted. Obama's people predicted a difference of 15,000 votes last night. These guys are GOOD

Obama Begins Planning For General Election Campaign

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 7, 2008 -> 11:48 AM) I really wish someone wouldn't have deleted the Democratic Primaries thread. Now I have to click on 4 different threads to read the stuff that could have all been posted in that single thread. :headbang Agreed

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 7, 2008 -> 11:34 AM) On the other hand, one of Obama's arguments is that he can win a couple of of the red western states that were heavily in his favor and haven't voted Democrat recently, like Colorado. and New Mexico and Nevada

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 7, 2008 -> 11:11 AM) Why is that "the problem"? It shows their statement is accurate. If you really want to refute it, you show that the last 2 elections, it went Republican. But they are right that historically, its been a Dem state. 16-20 is not historical. Using that argument, Illinois is historically Republican. But I dont seem IL going for McCain.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ May 7, 2008 -> 11:09 AM) CONGRESSIONAL SOURCE: Hillary having trouble finding superdelegates who will meet with her... 'No one wants to see her today'... Developing... from drudge... ouch!! (No link or further details, just the headline) and combine that with an undeclared super this morning saying on MSNBC that for most of the supers, "yesterday answered a lot of questions"

For what it's worth, the Clinton's are trying this spin on West Virgina... West Virginia is a historically democratic state and a win there shows how strong she is with working democratic voters and how strong she is in a democratic state. The problem.... Since 1864, there have been 36 presidential elections. 16 times they have voted Republican, 20 times they have voted Democrat.

Sounds like it could be a RAM or Hard Drive issue. Have you run DiskCheck yet? You might also want to look at SpinRite. It does an amazing job at fixxing bad hard drives.

John Kerry just flat out said that Limbaugh tampered with the election and Obama probably could have won if that were not the case.

Nice pop-culture reference by TalkingPointsMemo based on this weekends Box-Office....

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 7, 2008 -> 09:22 AM) I can't believe that seating the FL and MI delegates is being considered. It's a goddamn joke, but you know Hillary will cry until it happens. I agree. But I include those numbers to show just how much of an uphill road this really is. Even WITH FL and MI it's nearly impossible and that is even under the best of scenarios. The farther you move away from "as voted" representation of FL and MI, the harder it is for her to argue she can win.

Based on MSNBC's allocation of delegates from yesterday's election, minus FL and MI Clinton needs 88.5% of the remaining pledged delegates to win the pledged delegate count. With FL and MI (no MI delegates to Obama) counting full: 63% With FL and MI (no MI delegates to Obama) counted as half: 76% With FL and MI (Obama gets "left over" delegates) counted as full: 75.5% With FL and MI (Obama gets "left over" delegates) counted as half: 82%

an undeclared super just said on MSNBC that last night "answered a lot of questions" for the superdelegates. hmmmm....

George McGovern is urging Clinton to drop out. He first announced his support in October of '07 and is switching his support to Obama.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ May 7, 2008 -> 08:04 AM) oh we know that, but Hillary has very few straws to grasp at and anything she can through at the wall will have to be thrown. Her main argument can only be "electability" with the super delegates, so she'll hammer that in her conference call Conference call is pushing FL and MI, "white electability", and that a win in WV shows she is strong in states that havent gone democratic in recent years. Wait, didnt the Clintons say "red states" dont matter? hmmm......

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 7, 2008 -> 08:06 AM) I still don't understand the logic in giving Clinton an advantage in MI when Obama wasn't on the ballot. Why should she get more than 50%? I think MI is up for debate. MI is such a hard state to find a good solution for. I agree, more than 50 is hard to make an argument for. In fact, with Edwards AND Obama in the primary, i dont think she breaks 50%.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 7, 2008 -> 08:02 AM) FL and MI are almost, if not already, irrelevant. I think with Obama with such a massive lead, a deal will be struck now. MY proposal is count FLorida, but cout the delegates in half. In MI, Give Clinton a 55-45 split, but also cut them in half.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 7, 2008 -> 08:01 AM) Glad I booked a hotel in D.C. for the inauguration before the prices skyrocketed. did you really?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 7, 2008 -> 07:57 AM) Lots of Supers coming out for Obama today? now is the time to bring them all out. If they are holding some back, push them all now. Give the death blow.

Clinton to hold a conference call shortly on "the state of the race" We'll know what is going to unfold in the next few weeks shorty. I predict "we're pressing on"

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 7, 2008 -> 07:34 AM) No wonder she had to ask for donations during her "victory" speech. She has become the Mike Huckabee of the Democratic race. now she is REALLY in debt. that's over 11 million dollars she has loaned her campaign on top of the OTHER debt she is carrying.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 6, 2008 -> 01:42 PM) The Oliver Hardy look-alike is being replaced by Neil Funk who moves from radio. This is 5 years over due.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ May 7, 2008 -> 12:14 AM) That doesn't sound like anything. It just sounds deflated to me.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ May 7, 2008 -> 12:12 AM) Why does it seem like mayors with a conflict of interest have a controlling influence on the tabulation of the vote itself? Is this actually the system? unfortunetly

Clinton sounds defeated... Hillary's Subdued Fundraising Email Is an OFFICIAL end near?
