As surely as Al Gore didn't win the presidential election in 2000, Hillary Clinton didn't win the New Hampshire primary in 2008. George Bush won the most electoral votes, so he won the 2000 election. And no reporter who has ever mentioned campaigning for specific states or electoral votes can ever pretend that this was somehow unfair. Likewise, Obama won New Hampshire, 12 votes to 11, if CNN's accounting can be relied upon.
Meanwhile, Clinton can take comfort knowing that even though she's lost the battle, she has won the war, already. What happens February 5th won't matter much, because Hillary has started out the "race" with a huge head start: With a goal of 2,025 delegates, Hillary already has a lead of over 100 delegates, or more than 5% of the total.
Frankly, I sort of wish Obama had won the most votes in New Hampshire, helping him win the most votes on February 5th. I'd've loved to hear the Democrats explain to all those voters that their actual votes don't matter; the party had already made their choice before the first primary, and it was Hillary.
But then I realize that most black "leaders" in America are merely Uncle Toms for the modern welfare-state plantation; they'd never dare mention how the Democrats are still disenfranchising them as surely as they did when they were wearing white robes.

Not so. In order to vote on a nominee, the delegate must have been selected thru the primary process, i.e., the ballot box. There are some Reps who attend the Rep convention based on certain rules and they can participate in drafting the platform, etc., but they cannot cast a vote for a candidate.
I prefer not to question someone’s faith, unless I have reason to do so. I simply think Obama is unqualified, and far too liberal.
The Dimocrats have way too many delegates. Just another example of Dimocrat waste in action.
Eventually, they will not have a choice. Blacks and Hispanics make up 30% of the registered Dem voters. With half of the children in the US between the ages of 0 to 5 being minorities, minority voters will comprise more than half of the Dem party within the next 20 years. The thin veneer of white liberals will be unable to prevent minorities from getting their fair share of political power much longer.
Hillary may have done better than Bill in NH, but so did Obama.
Then who, exactly, are the delegates from Arkansas, Minnesota, and Illinois on this page: http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/scorecard/#R
Actually, there seem to be far more than I had thought there were. From that page:
“• There are currently 2,380 total delegates to the Republican National Convention, including 1,917 pledged delegates and 463 unpledged delegates. The total number of delegate votes needed to win the nomination is 1,191.
“• Unpledged delegates in the Republican Party do not have to indicate a candidate preference, but a majority are elected just like pledged delegates. Of the 463 unpledged delegates, 123 are RNC members who become delegates automatically. “
>> Huckster proclaimed opposition to “anchor babies” long enough to win 3rd place and quickly flip flopped. He and Hillary should win the quickest flip flop award. Most of the others stopped at flop on the issues. <<
I’m not sure that’s fair. I don’t know what happened between Gilchrist and him, but he had “corrected” the story by 1 o’clock. How many people learned of the story (which I saw hitting the blogs at about 10) and could’ve gotten out to vote by 1?
I’m not very perceptive...from now on I watch for the bunny.
The media was wrong on the polls.... so to save face I am surprised they are not going bonkers and informing the public the delegates went to Obama non the less.... thus making them less stupid.
WTF?
City election workers at tables set up to handle same-day registration rarely got a breather. When the news re the shortage of ballots came out, most of us knew that the rigging of the vote was in. How many renta mobbers from nearby out of state colleges brought in to fill the auditoriums for Hill, stayed to vote, vote and vote for Hill? How many union thugs voted, voted and voted for Hill? How many illegal aliens were bused in to vote, vote and vote for Hill?

“With ballots from 12 percent of voting precincts still to be counted, about 453,000 residents had cast votes, breaking the previous primary turnout record of 396,385 ballots cast in 2000.”
The Bible isn't a good enough reason for you?
That is why I think you are on drugs...
I can’t say about the other numbers, but I’ve seen several different versions of the delegate count posted today and they have varied widely. I don’t know why there are so may discrepancies.
You make absolutely no sense.
You never made any sense...
Whar would give you an indication someone was Christian??? Their support for homo marriage? Their support for killing babies? Their support for smoking?
The fact he says he’s a Christian gave me the idea. I don’t think every Christian has to agree with me on gay rights, abortion, smoking, or many other things to be a Christian.
Obama Osama Yo Mama is not a Christian...
His behavior, politics and own words show this. If you are too damned blind to see it, I couldn’t care less.
If someone does not adhere to the Bible, they are not Christian.
