Hillary hinting at Obama as VP? http://wcbstv.com/topstories/clinton.obama...t.2.669799.html I wonder if he would accept. If I was him, I sure as hell wouldn't.

This race is definitely coming down to the super delegates. Good old Democrat party democracy Hillary probably wins Pennsylvania and that will help her with the supers. I just want to see the fallout if Hillary loses the voted delegates, but the supers give her the nomination.

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 4, 2008 -> 10:10 PM) If HRC wins Texas, the media will never let us hear the end of the "comeback kid" crap. It would be big for her to win. She could have more leverage when dealing with super delegates if she had some media momentum and a win in both Texas and Ohio.

If Florida hadn't violated primary rules, that would have really changed this up. So any of you think she will get a re-vote in Michigan or Florida which would seat delegates? I think those would be strong states for her.

Clinton seems to be doing really well. But I guess Obama's big vote districts aren't in yet.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Mar 4, 2008 -> 08:50 PM) My inlaws talked to one of their friends in Odessa, TX, where Huckabee was last night. They point blank asked him why he stayed in so long, and he told them that basically he's running again in 4 years and he wanted to stay in as long as possible... but the interesting part is that Huckabee was saying that McCain won't run again, WIN OR LOSE. Very interesting. Not a bad move on Huckabee's part to audition with the voters for 2012. His name definitely got out there, byt GOP insiders might give Romney more of an inside track because he stepped out early like they wanted him to. I wouldn't be surprised if McCain is just looking for 1 term. VP pick will be a big deal if thats the case.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Mar 4, 2008 -> 08:28 PM) Great run for Huckabee with the little amount of resources he had. Yea, he did pretty good. Kind of looked bad staying in so long, but he just gave a great exit speech.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Mar 3, 2008 -> 12:51 PM) Prediction of the day: Even after McCain gets 1191 delegates, Huckabee stays in the race. well, one prediction down the drain. i guess Huckabee is finally giving up and will concede the nomination tonight.

I'm convinced it's completely impossible for a Democrat to be in an election and not hear tons of complaining supposed voter irregularities. It's just funny when it's two Dems and they are both accusing each other of fraud. USA! USA!

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Mar 4, 2008 -> 07:50 PM) Clinton with just 43% of the vote in TX Early Voting, still has more votes than all TX Republican early voting combined. In all fairness, the GOP isn't even really having an election anymore. McCain won long ago, the Dems are still battling it out. But the Dems have had way bigger turnout this primary, even when the nomination was still up for grabs.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 4, 2008 -> 07:32 PM) You really think she was actively involved in that? I highly doubt it. I highly doubt she wasn't. Actually, I would say it's a very safe bet she knew about it and it came from her campaign.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Mar 4, 2008 -> 04:17 PM) Craig disputed Clinton's claims that she played important roles in Ireland and the Balkans. "She has talked about a dangerous mission to Bosnia, but news reports indicate that she was accompanied on that trip by Sinbad and Cheryl Crow," he said. But that might help her with the Dem voting block that takes their queue from Hollywood stars. Even though I'm not really sure Sinbad is a star.

Just got MLB 2k8 first impression is that it totally sucks.

I think Obama may have just found his Secretary of Defense!

TX - Clinton +1 OH - Clinton +8 RI - Clinton +7 VT - Obama +19 Clinton stays in, of course.

Prediction of the day: Even after McCain gets 1191 delegates, Huckabee stays in the race.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Mar 3, 2008 -> 11:47 AM) Well if anything this sure makes Obama more Presidential... He is able to lie straight faced to the American people, and then blame other people for what was said, with a dash of cover-up. but, but, but.....he's for change!

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Mar 1, 2008 -> 12:54 PM) Let me put this in perspective: If I good to Woodfield and buy a $1000 computer from the Apple Store, prior to this, the county tax was .75 percent. So, I would have payed $7.50 in county taxes. Now, it is 1.75% and I would have to pay $17.50!!! lol, why not just raise taxes more. make that $1000 computer have $35 in extra tax. It's ONLY 35 dollars. But why stop there? juice it to $70, you can afford a measley $70 dollars right? that is such crap

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 28, 2008 -> 07:48 PM) If we bring the troops home, we lose. not really. there has to be a point where we withdraw some resources, i think thats something everyone can agree on. but hey, the US soldiers are nazi's killing for G W bush's amusement right? viva la che and farakhan for all... if you wan to go this direction i can all day.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 28, 2008 -> 06:32 PM) Heh. OK. I'll rely on the guys who seem to know best, on the ground. The information is all there anyway, just not at the top of the news pile. This isn't about the surge being a bad idea, mind you - I just would hate to see this opportunity squandered. The change in tactics that went with the surge did indeed help. But its like a microcosm of the whole war, and the BushCo policy on Iraq... Step 1: Invade/surge Step 2: ... pause... Step 3: Peace in Iraq!!!! That second step is the political part of the solution. And its necessary for success. Well, there are plenty of guys on the ground who will say the surge has been a major factor in the decrease in violence (generals and stuff). I'll go with them. But let's not digress. I agree it's time for the Iraqis to take control of their own country. IMO, time to declare victory and bring the troops home.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 28, 2008 -> 07:57 AM) I really believe he was planning on running for President if the nominees ended up being Hillary and more conservative republican. I think with a moderate repub, and Obama running, there really isn't as big of a niche for Bloomberg as he expected there to be. ^^^

NSide72, you were wrong about the surge. admit it. don't make excuses. your pal, mr_genius.
