QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 20, 2008 -> 07:53 AM) If the situation were reversed, do you believe Obama would drop from the race? Perhaps but I wouldn't *STILL* be convinced that he'd win.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 20, 2008 -> 07:19 AM) I'm *STILL* convinced Hillarity will win. 10 blowouts in a row and he's eating into her base. I just can't see how you don't see the writing on the wall.

Not sure if this was mentioned but Obama almost has as many votes in Wisconsin as Clinton and McCain combined.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 19, 2008 -> 10:20 PM) You didn't answer the question. No clue whatsoever why there is a primary there tonight. I asked this a few weeks ago in this thread. I thought cnn.com had a typo.

QUOTE(AngelasDaddy0427 @ Feb 19, 2008 -> 10:17 PM) Can someone explain to me why Washington State is holding a second contest? And if Hillary wins will this be the end of Barak's winning streak even though there are no delegates at stake? Even if she wins Washington the turnout is ridiculously low. No delegates involved. It would be pathetic if her campaign gloated about a win there tonight.

QUOTE(bmags @ Feb 19, 2008 -> 02:20 PM) well, i think it's certain she will lose Hawaii and Wisconsin at least. Other than that she might have a landslide tonight.

QUOTE(AngelasDaddy0427 @ Feb 19, 2008 -> 02:14 PM) I have a feeling Hillary will have landslide victories today which will set her up to coasting to the nomination. Which sucks because I can't stand her. I doubt you are correct. If she even wins they will be by small margins.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 18, 2008 -> 05:23 PM) Kind of like Obama accidentally using phrases from another candidate. Which candidate is he using phrases from?

I finally found a reason to vote for Hillary. Sorry Barack.

Another superdelegate defect switching to Obama.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Feb 15, 2008 -> 11:20 AM) i'm talking in the general. not right now. And regarding her being vetted here's a blurb from a spot-on article I just read... LINK

Edwards backers tilt toward Obama.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Feb 15, 2008 -> 10:41 AM) what i think is that in a general election, Hillary will be able to fight fire with fire. She'll fight like a muthaf*cka against McCain, and it will be seen as ok because she doesn't have this "nice guy" image she has to maintain like Obama does. Also, everybody already KNOWS the s*** about Clinton so nothing McCain pulls out will hurt her any MORE. With Obama, a lot of people still aren't AWARE of the skeletons in his closet and they'll be able to tear his pristine image to shreds. And they will. And will he be able to fight back while keeping his hopeful optimism? I dunno... He seems to be doing quite well without needing to be an attack dog. And remind me how much of an attack dog McCain was in 2000 when he was being smeared.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Feb 15, 2008 -> 10:03 AM) The concern is that it is the Washington establishment-types that make up the big bulk of superdelegates, making them potential kingmakers in the kind of smokey backroom deal that would give fellow establishment-type Clinton the nomination despite Obama's winning the popular vote and the regular delegates. I couldn't believe that the Democratic Party and Dean would allow something like that to occur. The uproar would be disastrous for the party and would certainly doom any chance of a Dem in the White House in 2009.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 15, 2008 -> 09:46 AM) I *DO* think that the superdelagates will still go her way, en masse. Since Super Tuesday he has gotten more superdelegates then her and a couple of hers have already switched over to him. I'm having trouble understanding why that trend would all of a sudden reverse after he wins Wisconsin, Hawaii and possibly Texas.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Feb 15, 2008 -> 09:29 AM) You guys really do believe Obama is going to beat the Clinton machine, don't you? I absolutely think he will beat her. Texas will be close and he might actually win. That basically ruins her chances to win the delegate count and there's no way the superdelegates will break for the losing candidate en masse. QUOTE(YASNY @ Feb 15, 2008 -> 09:29 AM) One of two things will happen. 1. Some way, shape or form the Machine will wheel and deal to get the nomination. They'll offer Obama the VP so they can put the token n***** in his place after the inauguration. I predict race riots if this happens. I do not see that happening unless she has the pledged delegate lead. Her chances of getting the lead are slim. QUOTE(YASNY @ Feb 15, 2008 -> 09:29 AM) 2. Obama gets the nomination and Hillary gets VP. A few months into his term, so "white racist skinhead" assasinates Obama. Net Result: Hillary can be POTUS for 11.5 years. No way she will be his VP.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 15, 2008 -> 09:21 AM) You're preaching to the choir My point is that the polls today are not a good snap shot of what will likely occur 2 weeks from Tuesday. She was up in Maine by 37 points not too long ago and we saw what happened there.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 15, 2008 -> 09:16 AM) I hate polls. so inaccurite There's still 2 and half weeks until March 4th. He is focusing his efforts on the upcoming primaries/caucuses in Wisconsin and Hawaii. Starting next Tuesday he will be visiting Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont. Generally, the more exposure he has the more people like him.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 15, 2008 -> 09:12 AM) uh oh! Texas Poll.... Clinton - 54 Obama - 38 And there's this one.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Feb 14, 2008 -> 11:50 AM) By the way I think we'll be seeing more of this in the coming weeks then the other way around. More evidence.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 14, 2008 -> 04:34 PM) She already did... http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/release/view/?id=5988 Oh I get it. Only caucuses she wins matter. The other ones are not a true representation of the voters of that particular state. GMAFB

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 14, 2008 -> 04:13 PM) Obama may score the full SEIU endorsement. In the meantime he did score the United Food and Commercial Workers Union endorsement.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 14, 2008 -> 04:13 PM) NM Results are finally in... Obama - 71,396 Clinton - 73,105 Total Votes - 149,779 votes This state does not matter...according to the Clintons' take on caucuses. But I'm sure she will tell us what a great win this was.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 14, 2008 -> 03:01 PM) They could also vote for FL and MI to count for Hillary. There is no real process to ensure fairness in this at all. The party would implode if that were to occur.
