Breaking News: CBS calls Indiana for Hillary Clinton

CBS/LA Times ^ | 5/6/08 | staff

[pissant]

CBS News has called Indiana for Sen. Hillary Clinton. Sen. Barack Obama had already won North Carolina.

--Andrew Malcolm

[pissant]

That's all for now.

[Alter Kaker]

The call is a little strange — Obama’s strongest areas (Bloomington, Gary, etc.) haven’t even started reporting yet. Maybe they know something we don’t.

[The_Republican]

If she only nets 40K to 50K, and he nets 250K in NC, its like Indiana and Pennsylvania never happenned.

Go Bama! Slay the Witch!

[Always Right]

I had no idea what they were waiting for. She had to win by 5 points or more.

[Enchante]

So will this one wisp of hope be enough to keep the Hildebeast going until August? Will the Superdelegates turn against Obambi and tear the party to pieces, or will enough of them now coalesce publicly to give the Obamanation a firm majority and end the race? Will the Clintons refuse to go away now even if enough Superdelegates announce for Obama?

Inquiring minds want to know....

[Always Right]

Bloomington strong for Obama? I kind of doubt it. Besides with the students gone, not that many people left. Hillary will win Monroe county as a whole.

[aposiopetic]

I agree. It seems early. Nothing in yet from Lake, La Porte, Porter, St. Joseph AFAIK. Who knows what will happen?

[Right_in_Virginia]

Anyone taking a stab at the margin of victory?

[Alter Kaker]

Bloomington strong for Obama? I kind of doubt it.

With 1% in, it's going 70% for Obama. I think people are expecting Obama to win Bloomngton by a wide margin. Not sure what happens.

Also, it's worth noting that there are still an awful lot of precincts outstanding in Indianapolis, where Obama is winning by a wide margin as well as suburban Hamilton County, where Obama is far ahead, but where only 5% are reporting.

My guess is Hillary wins this, but it'll be close -- almost certainly under 5%.

[Blue Turtle]

Thank you operatives! You’ve done Operation Chaos a great service!

[ExTexasRedhead]

Just keep digging up their dirt and digging up their skeletons. At this point, it doesn’t matter which of the two corrupt traitors gets the nomination; they both spell disaster for this country and our children and grandchildren’s futures.

[Spunky]

ABC says they will not project it yet.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

CBS calls Indiana for Hillary, based on rock solid journalist standards.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Has Fox called IN for Mrs. Clinton?

[unkus]

LOL-What is the joker up to these days? Don’t know and don’t care.

[msnpatriot]

Operation ‘Eliminate Hillary’ hasn’t done bad either! ;^)

***Thank you operatives! You’ve done Operation Chaos a great service!***

[familyop]

Indiana: 72 delegates

North Carolina: 115 delegates

Bye-bye, Hillary.

[Lancey Howard]

Go, HILLARY!
Go, Operation Chaos!!
Make that sick scumbag Obama beg for the nomination.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Suing CBS for something like wrongful termination and defamation. A judge, with a perverse sense of humor and an even more perverse understanding of the law, allowed the suit to proceed. I love red on red, like Nazi-Soviet, Iran-Iraq, Barack-Hillary or Rather-CBS.

[unkus]

Thanks-I agree.

[airborne]

Hillary wins Indiana.

Obama wins North Carolina.

Seems to me that the situation on the ground is...chaotic.

I thought the last time I heard from him, he was saying "They are committing suicide at Baghdad's Gates! We are roasting their stomachs in Hell". But then I could have been thinking of some other Fake But Accurate anchor....

[El Gato]

According to Fox:

In Indiana:

With 55 percent of precincts reporting, Clinton led 56-to-46 percent.

Overall, Obama led Clinton 63-to-35 percent in the state, with 16 percent of precincts reporting

[SunnyUsa]

yes....that witch needs to GO!

I can’t stomach much more of her

[El Gato]

Oops, that second line refers to North Carolina:

The Fox home page shows a bit lower margins in both races, and is probably more current.

North Carolina
Democrats
Precincts Reporting: 20%
Candidate # of votes % of total # of delegates
Barack Obama 345,007 62.81% 19
Hillary Clinton 204,278 37.19% 0

Indiana
Precincts Reporting: 65%
Candidate # of votes % of total # of delegates
Hillary Clinton 424,251 53.12% 20
Barack Obama 374,379 46.88% 12

[acoulterfan]

“Indiana: 72 delegates

North Carolina: 115 delegates

Bye-bye, Hillary.”

WOOOO HOOOOO!

[rawcatslyentist]

>"Will the Clintons refuse to go away now even if enough Superdelegates announce for Obama?"

Hey, they didn't hang that madame for nothing!

[LegalEagle61]

I am in Lake County IN, I voted, i wanted to help with Operation Chaos but we have to declare, I just couldn’t get myself to say I was an Independent, I declared republican and voted for McCain, I know when it came down to it anyway i would not be able to vote for a rat even if to help screw things up more for them...but when I got there, it sucked, the dems working the polls give you these cards that say R or D, so i had my R card and when I went to the machine, the rat had to reset my machine because my card had an R on it and not a D like most people in my area vote, they quickly reset it but announced really loud (and like he was annoyed) that I was a republican. Honestly it did seem like Dems were treated much better. Oh well they can shove it.

[Maverick68]

For all of you doubting the success of Operation Chaos, you need to understand one thing: Had Hillary not been in it up to this point, Rev.Wright and Ayers would have been a blip on the screen. Hillary has enough supporters in the MSMedia to make sure they were brought to the fore. The ObamaChrist would have been able to walk across the finish line if SHE weren’t in the race to expose him....

[pissant]

Neither is winner take all.

[pissant]

I would suggest a Burr/Hamilton resolution myself.

[pissant]

It should be enough for her to hang in there. Her minions better get busy helping Larry Sinclair now. LOL

[familyop]

Thanks! Here's what appears to be an update from the same Fox News link.

Indiana:
"With 68 percent of precincts reporting, Clinton led 53-to-47 percent."

North Carolina:
"Overall, Obama led Clinton 60-to-38 percent in the state, with 26 percent of precincts reporting."

[familyop]

...and a repeat for people reading the thread...

Indiana: 72 delegates

North Carolina: 115 delegates

It appears that Obama will get quite a few more delegates than Clinton out of the two states. We’ll watch and see.

[slapshot]

the gary machine is now a churnin still has not reported yeat and will not till everything is in

[familyop]

In North Carolina...

http://www.wral.com/news/political/page/2773460/?group=president

With 53% of precincts reporting,

Obama: 56% of the vote

Clinton: 41% of the vote

North Carolina has 115 delegates.

[pissant]

That’s OK. Hillary expected to lose NC. As long as she wins Indiana, she will stay in the race. Look for Larry Sinclair to get some headlines soon.

[nascarnation]

Gov Dem vote looks 50/50 and could go all night

[familyop]

Ah...here’s a running count.

http://www.politico.com/

Indiana [72 total delegates] with 79% precincts reporting

Clinton: 51.80%

Obama: 48.20%

North Carolina [115 total delegates] with 64% precincts reporting

Obama: 55.90%

Clinton: 41.91%

[brushcop]

Honestly it did seem like Dems were treated much better

And this is just the beginning...King McCain hasn't stopped stabbing us in the back either. What a pathetic bunch of scumbags, all of 'em.

[familyop]

"That’s OK. Hillary expected to lose NC. As long as she wins Indiana, she will stay in the race. Look for Larry Sinclair to get some headlines soon"

We'll see. I wouldn't be surprised--even with Clinton dropping out--to see much more of the homosexual addict/redneck story, along with a few conspiracy stories from the aging Clinton horde.

It will be interesting. Many of the most clucking Clinton fans are failing to consider the consequences of their speech. Feminism is dead and doesn't know it, yet. So is fascism. That will leave fewer socialists for reasonable people to deal with.

[Marie2]

My local news political science-person says that Obama and Clinton are almost certainly going to be on the ticket together, and the only question is who’ll be on top.

Any thoughts on how McCain would handle this? Can he beat an Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama ticket?

[okie01]

Another way of looking at it..,

North Carolina.....Tot........w/o blacks
Obama..............56%...........36%
Clinton............42%...........40%

Indiana............Tot........w/o blacks
Obama..............48%...........40%
Clinton............52%...........51%

Based on 2006 census estimates that blacks compose 22% of the population in NC and 9% of the population in Indiana. All blacks are assumed to have voted in the Democrat primary, in the same proportion as other races. It also assumes the black vote split 90/10, in line with other states.

Black Democrats have one candidate. White Democrats have another.

Has Obama won a majority of the white vote in any state?

[freedomwarrior998]

FYI: Your love for Hitlary is disgusting.

[Spunky]

Sorry for not responding sooner. I was busy fixing dinner.

Since I don't have cable TV I have no idea.

[familyop]

"My local news political science-person says that Obama and Clinton are almost certainly going to be on the ticket together, and the only question is who’ll be on top.

..."local news political science-person" of what religion? [Little humor there...only joking.]

Any thoughts on how McCain would handle this? Can he beat an Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama ticket?"

IMO, McCain could easily beat either combination, even with so many Republicans refusing to vote for any presidential candidate. And that's why most Democrats will angrily reject Clintonista attempts to push an Obama/Clinton ticket. The tactics of Hillary's supporters will be remembered by Obama's otherwise clueless fans and by all who want Hillary's main cause (man-hating, of course) out of the political picture.

[TruthWillWin]

With 55 percent of precincts reporting, Clinton led 56-to-46 percent.

Overall, Obama led Clinton 63-to-35 percent in the state, with 16 percent of precincts reporting

Huh?

[familyop]

"Another way of looking at it..,
North Carolina.....Tot........w/o blacks...Indiana............Tot........w/o blacks"

What would it look like without feminist/effeminate neo-Nazis? IMO, neither would be running at all. Hillary wouldn't have any support, and Obama would have very little. But then, without either of them to try to scare the Republican vote up for McCain, we would have a candidate more like Duncan Hunter.

This year's presidential election is irrelevant anyway. By rising oil prices (freight fuel) and the falling dollar occurring as results of a global economy, the "citizens of the world" importers and merchants sponsoring the current campaign tactics will lose.

[Mannaggia l'America]

My local news political science-person says that Obama and Clinton are almost certainly going to be on the ticket together, and the only question is who’ll be on top.

As far as I can see, it's the 'rats only/best option, but that doesn't mean it will actually happen.

Hitlery doesn't want to be #2. I just can't see her settling for VP. Maybe I'm wrong.

Baraq Hussein and his supporters are not going to accept #2 if he is ahead in delegates (and why should he accept it if he's ahead - I wouldn't).

So the only way I see a Clinton/Obama ticket is if Hillary passes Baraq in the delegate count, and it doesn't look like that's going to happen. And I have a tough time seeing a Obama/Clinton ticket - she'd rather sit it out and hope Obama loses and run again in 4 years.

It's chaos!

[Shortstop7]

Very odd.
