QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 8, 2008 -> 07:33 AM) Isn't this a bribe? In my book, yes. What a tool. What if every superdelegate requested $20M for their vote. What kind of messed up process would that be? (I know it's already very messed up)

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 7, 2008 -> 08:33 PM) WOW! John Zogby: 30 in 48 hours? Dang you beat me to it.

Nothing reminds me more of freedom than living in a gated community.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 7, 2008 -> 03:43 PM) Whoa, you wanna know something interesting? The DNC's nomination acceptance speech day (aka Obama's speech at the DNC this year) is scheduled 45 years to the day after Dr. King gave his "I have a Dream" speech. *cues Twilight Zone music* EDIT: or is it "queues"?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 7, 2008 -> 04:41 PM) Feinstein (D, CA), a major Clinton supporter, starts pressuring Clinton about her chances. The writing is on the wall. This is her chance to get out gracefully. There is nothing to gain by prolonging the campaign.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 7, 2008 -> 04:29 PM) $123.53. Another new record. WOOHOO!! These 10 barrels of oil in my backyard are like gold!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 7, 2008 -> 04:33 PM) Another one of those is due to a flip today. I know there have been a handful of Clinton supers that flipped over the course of this campaign. Has there been even 1 that flipped to her? BTW - I wonder what Carville will call McClellan.

Per DCW, the superdelegate Clinton enjoys is 11.5 at this moment.

Hillaryis404.org

The most updated count (CNN.com) in Indiana gives Clinton a 14,413 lead. Still shows at 99% counted.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 7, 2008 -> 12:20 PM) No. The demographics - even if Hilldog oficially quit today, she'd still win. I'm not kidding. Heh. You might be right.

Anyone else think Clinton's margin of victory take a huge hit in West Virginia and Kentucky now that the MSM is basically calling her toast?

Lawrence O'Donnell claims Hillary will drop out by June 15th, according to a top Clinton campaign official.

Now it's official. Ron Paul supporters are crazy.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 7, 2008 -> 11:28 AM) Thanks for making me smile.

First prominent Clinton supporter asks her to drop out.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 7, 2008 -> 08:39 AM) You are right it is a big difference. The chance for an inuagural visit is WAY more important than seeing someone speak locally. If you have the means, I don't see why you would pass it up for partisian reasons. If I had the chance to go to a Hillary or Barack inuaguration, I wouldn't pass it up, that is for sure. To me it isn't "supporting" them. It is being a part of a historical event. I'd rather spend the $1.5K to $2K on something else to be honest. I'd be rolling my eyes as he stood there and spouted off all the policies he'd like to instill that I completely disagree with. I'd go hear him speak locally since it wouldn't cost me anything.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 7, 2008 -> 08:24 AM) That's kinda sad actually. No matter who it is, it is still the President of the United States of America. You don't pass up that kind of a chance just because you don't like the person elected. I couldn't stand Bill Clinton and almost everything he stood for, but I still took the chance to go see him speak in person. Its something that should be bigger than politics if you ask me. It's my personal choice. I have zero interest in John McCain. I am not going to spend hundreds of dollars and take time off work to support a pro-war, pro-choice, Bush surrogate. I can go visit D.C. some other time. EDIT: It's a big difference going to see a politician speak at the local university and flying your family to D.C. for 5 days to see a politician speak.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 7, 2008 -> 08:14 AM) So here is a question for you. If McCain should beat Obama in November, will you still go to the inauguration? Nope. I'll probably change my tickets for a Miami trip.

McCain had some issues last night.

Obama meeting with uncommitted supers in Washington tomorrow.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 7, 2008 -> 08:05 AM) 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. 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%?

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 7, 2008 -> 08:03 AM) did you really? Yes. In January. Always wanted to visit D.C. and what better opportunity.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 7, 2008 -> 07:34 AM) No wonder she had to ask for donations during her "victory" speech. BTW, when you loan your campaign approximately $10M how can you call your opponent the elitist?
