QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Feb 14, 2008 -> 11:56 AM) Obama's killing off superdelegates? I thought that was the Clinton's go to move? Heh.

From MSNBC's First Read: I see a trend emerging.

By the way I think we'll be seeing more of this in the coming weeks then the other way around.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 14, 2008 -> 11:22 AM) That might give Obama a shot... but when the dust settles, the superdelegates will flock back to establishment and Hillary, is my guess. But we'll see. Obama is winning the popular vote, won more states, has more pledged delegates, does better in matchups vs McCain, raises more money, is getting young people to finally vote, is getting Republicans to cross over, is doing better with independents, and has a positive message. So why exactly will Clinton get the bulk of the remaining superdelegates to back her?

Former Republican Senator Lincoln Chafee from Rhode Island. Will only have some impact in the upcoming Rhode Island primary. I wouldn't categorize this as major.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Feb 13, 2008 -> 10:39 PM) ... so we're going with the better late than never idea? He's had very detailed policies on his website for several months.

Obama now leads in pledged and total delegates (including MI and FL), states won, popular vote (including MI and FL), and national polls. According to the "experts" Clinton will need to win by 60% or more in her firewall states. I think that would be very tough seeing that he will likely win 10 states in a row leading up to March 4th.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 12, 2008 -> 09:47 PM) Best spin of the evening, a Clinton representative: "We did what we set out to do this evening.. collect delegates" LMAO! Seriously, if that is the best you have, dont even try. Just went to Clinton's website. You would never know by looking at it that 3 primaries just took place today.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Feb 12, 2008 -> 09:40 PM) No, it's just time for you Obama guys/gals to work harder, and donate more. Oh we will. I'll be canvassing in Wisconsin and Ohio.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Feb 12, 2008 -> 09:34 PM) huh? Ignore every state for a month like Rudy did with Florida. She will go winless from Feb 5th through March 4th. At this rate she may not win anything on March 4th either.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Feb 12, 2008 -> 09:28 PM) That is true. But she is on such a big losing streak, she needs to stop Obama's momentum. I wonder if she will go on the attack again, it seemed to work a lot better than her current approach. You mean the hang low Rudy 9ui11iani approach?

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Feb 12, 2008 -> 08:51 PM) I think it's over. Obama is going to beat Hillary, and probably win the White House. I don't think he is going to run a horrible campaign like Gore or Kerry. GW Bush pretty much handed the Dems this thing with the huge deficits he ran up and the Iraq war. I have no doubt anymore that you are correct. It took me a while to get this feeling but I am certain he will be our next president. This is a true movement now. You cannot deny it.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 12, 2008 -> 07:05 PM) And MSNBC just called D.C. for Obama. Looks like a Hillary THUMPING tonight. Tonight feels very good.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Feb 12, 2008 -> 12:32 PM) appreciate the sarcasm. Actually it wasn't sarcasm. I donated $5.01 to him today so I felt poor.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Feb 12, 2008 -> 12:25 PM) Just pledged 250 to obama and somone matched it, cool Wow. What a high roller.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Feb 12, 2008 -> 11:32 AM) it's not specific endorsements that make any difference, it's just the fact that certain candidates are GETTING endorsements. For example, every day you see another story of another so and so endorsing Obama. It doesn't matter WHO it is, all it shows is that he's getting more support of people who "know what they're talking about" than Clinton is. People see that and go "oh well... i guess he IS the better choice". That's why endorsements matter. The only time specific endorsements matter is when you've got your Kennedy's, your Gores and your Edwards caliber people. Otherwise they're meaningless individually. That's a pretty accurate assessment of endorsements.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 12, 2008 -> 12:12 PM) A hearty congratulations to the Bush Administration and to the major telecom companies in this country, as they're now completely immune from breaking the law. Obama voted against immunity while Clinton was a no show.

I smell a sweep tonight. I made a ton of calls to Louisiana and I did not get one Hillary supporter.

Excerpts from Obama's presidential announcement from February of 2007: Source I would do the same thing for Senator Clinton if I could but she decided not to announce her candidacy to the American people since she was the inevitable nominee.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 9, 2008 -> 02:19 PM) If you ant change, and every candidate has now agreed to that position, you win, right? Or is the slogan change just a tool to get your candidate elected and you don't want the other candidates to use that tool? Obama has been using the same theme since his Illinois Senate days. Rallying people from the ground up has been a core principle for him for many years. When Hillary all of a sudden uses the same theme when it was never even part of her vocabulary then I wonder how devoted she is for this change.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 9, 2008 -> 10:58 AM) I've watched the guy talk a lot. He's just not a person I want to see elected from a purely selfish standpoint. Fair enough.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 9, 2008 -> 10:47 AM) Its hard to be inspired by someone who doesn't agree with anything you believe. That is me is a pretty major flaw. I can see how that would be a turnoff. Have you have a chance to look over all of his stances on issues? Perhaps there are some things you could agree with him on? http://www.barackobama.com/issues/

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 9, 2008 -> 10:18 AM) The problem is that there really isn't a candidate I can honestly say I like. They all have huge flaws for me. I tend to agree somewhat although Obama has less flaws for me than the others. I also think there's something to say about his ability to inspire so many people including young voters. When was the last time the youth came out in such numbers? I honestly feel he can do a good job of uniting this country. Call me naive or whatever else but that's how I feel. I also think our standing in the world would go up a few notches with an Obama presidency. I've read too many glowing articles from abroad to convince me otherwise.
