QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ Feb 12, 2008 -> 06:11 PM) Cnn and Fox call Virginia for Obama at 7:01 local time. And MSNBC just called D.C. for Obama. Looks like a Hillary THUMPING tonight.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 12, 2008 -> 03:28 PM) That's why I keep saying that she is going to still win, because if she gets over 55% of the vote in both states, she is just about there in the overall picture. If you use the results the Obama campaign have collected, Obama currently leads 1031-944 in pldged delegates. Assuming a 60-40 split in the 3 contests today... Obama potential jumps to 1132-1011. I'll split WI 55-45 and Hawaii 60-40... 1185-1053. Now lets move to Ohio and Texas. I'll split them 55-45 to Clinton... Obama - 1335 Clinton - 1236 Even if Hillary won the other March 4th states by 55-45, it would be... Obama - 1351 Clinton - 1256 Yes these are delegate counts and do not directly reflect voter percentages, but you get the idea.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 11, 2008 -> 05:40 PM) Hillary to reportedly pick up the endorsement of former Ohio Senator/Astronaut/Hero/only guy you can say "Godspeed" to whenever you want John Glenn. I think we have all learned that endorsements are largely worthless.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Feb 11, 2008 -> 01:39 PM) RE: Edwards/Obama meeting PS: here's the link. VERY interesting. Kinda smart though. Keep it n the downlow.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 11, 2008 -> 01:27 PM) Posting those results doesn't do much unless you tell me the date of the Poll. January 30th-31st. Hence, pre Super Tuesday, and pre-the last few days before Super Tuesday where BO had those big gains. OOPS! Didnt notice the date. My mistake.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Feb 11, 2008 -> 01:17 PM) It could just be that Obama wants a big win in VA and won't get out of the Chesapeake area to meet with Edwards til Weds at the earliest, btw. what gets my attention is this line: "the Obama campaign told us to talk to the Edwards camp" If it was Obama canceling, wouldn't they come out and say "hey, we're busy campaigning, we will meet up with him in a few days"?

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Feb 11, 2008 -> 01:01 PM) Obama is leading Clinton by almost 20% points in Virgina polls? She isn't even coming close in these recent primaries. Anyone know what the Texas numbers look like? Texas Polling Obama - 38 Clinton - 48 QUOTE(mr_genius @ Feb 11, 2008 -> 01:01 PM) Why is Chelsea Clinton giving all these speeches? really, do any of you Dems care what she thinks? No. In fact she is on MSNBC right now and is a REALLY boring speaker. I dont think she WANTS to be out doing this. But she HAS to. "pimping" was the wrong term, but the right idea.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 11, 2008 -> 12:25 PM) I don't know if there could be a president ticket that I would dispise more than that duo. Hillary wont pick Edwards for VP. She wants a Clintonite. Probably a "yes man"

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Feb 11, 2008 -> 11:45 AM) What do you think it could mean? Honestly, no clue. 3 Possibilities: 1) He told Obama on the phone he is already decided on Hillary 2) Told Obama on the phone he doesnt need to meet with him Obama is his man. 3) Obama thinks he doesn't need an Edwards endorsement anymore. THe "window" has passed and Obama has momentum.

hmmmm.... Obama canceled his meeting with John Edwards today. Edwards met with Clinton on Thursday. Interesting!

Hope... but Different.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Feb 10, 2008 -> 03:32 PM) I see people are saying putting towards savings, previous loans or investing. Doesn't that go against the idea of providing these checks to everyone? That's the problem and why some think this wont work. People are so far into debt that this money wont go to by products, it'll pay off bills. I understand why i SHOULD by products with this, but I also have to look out for my long term financial well-being and pay off parts of my college loans. $1500 would take a nice chunk out of the $11,000 i still have in my college loan. The quicker I pay off these loans, the sooner I can by that church in Iowa to turn it into a house (LONG story for another time )

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Feb 10, 2008 -> 03:46 PM) Breaking News on CNN.com is showing that Clinton just fired her campaign manager. Doesnt seem like a good time to switch that guy out for someone else http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/02/10/cli...aign/index.html

Clinton: Obama is the establishment! Once again, she is projecting. If you notice, when she talks negative about Obama, it tends to be something that applies more to her than him. So, a man who has been in congress less than 4 years is establishment, but the woman who claims "35 years of experience" isnt? ODD!

Clinton Rally: The Next President... OBAMA!

http://www.suntimes.com/sports/mariotti/78...i020908.article Now, i dont think Mariotti ever spewed anti-Semitic language or racism, but wasn't he part of the crap that is on Sports Talk Radio? I dont think he ever contributed anything positive. People who live in glass houses shouldnt throw stones.

I have some college loans to pay down.

Quick Question / Observation: Accoridn to MSNBC and CNN's delegate counts by state, 6 Super Tuesday states (Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, New York, Tennessee) still don't have the total delegate counts in. Any idea why?

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Feb 9, 2008 -> 07:23 PM) I guess I don't know the "pimpin" controversy that well, maybe I should see if it's on youtube or something to hear how it went. But does anyone think it shouldn't be that big of a deal? I guess in my generation pimp is used loosely for a lot of things. They even have a show called Pimp My Ride, which is a terrible show in my opinion, but to me that's a differen version of the word. Sure he shouldn't have said that, but getting suspended seems too much if you ask me. The Clinton's are doing a good job playing the victim card it seems. well, the comment was inappropriate in my opinion. While the term might not have been out right sexual, it was the context. His IDEA was correct, but his wording was bad. What he was trying to say is the Clinton campaign is basically using her to give her mom a good name. Note: She rarely or never campaigned until Hillary lost Iowa. So, he is saying they are "pimping" her out to give them a good name and good face. if it had been a guy, it probably woul dhave not been an issue. But you really shouldnt say they are "pimping" a woman. A short suspension is plenty. The Clinton's are just upset that MSNBC refuses to bow before them. Frankly, I think MSNBC hates the Clintons. At least several of their hosts do. CNN bends over backwards for them, but MSNBC wont.

Clinton - FL and MI Should Count... but my favorable results.

Anyone know the time table for today? When do the caucuses and primaries end?

NUTS!!!

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 8, 2008 -> 09:35 PM) Wisconsin's still pretty big on the 19th, and bumps do tend to die out with some time. Maine is also a caucus, which has been a format Obama has performed very well in, which might give him a solid chance there also. I thought I head today they are not too sure about Maine. Apparently too much like Massachusetts or something like that. Dont know the logic, but they are saying he may not win there. Not that t wont be close, just that he wont win. Also, with no advertising and campaigning in WI, he is only trailing hillary 50-41.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 8, 2008 -> 07:23 PM) Survey USA also has Obama up large in Maryland, which also comes next Tuesday (along with Virginia and D.C., I believe) WOW! Even if you concede Main to CLinton, it could be Washington, Louisiana, Nebraska, Virginia, Maryland, and DC all for Obama in the next 5 days. That is HUGE momentum going into Texas and Ohio.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Feb 8, 2008 -> 01:17 PM) Whoah...what is going on here? I need more details. http://tinyurl.com/2kum8p UPDATE: http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmem...es_to_war_w.php Well, it's pretty obvious Chris Matthews HATES hillary. He has toned down a lot recently, but he was WAY out on her early. He despised her.
