Just announced onair by KFI in Los Angeles, CNN projects that Barak Obama has won Vermont.
That is New Hampshire!
She won’t trail by that much. At worst it would be 20-30 delegates after FL is re-done. Dean wants it and Crist gave OK. She would OVERWHELM him in Indiana and PA as well, assuming he continues to run.
You will see his FREE FALL in polls begin from this point on.
Guaranteed.
NO ONE can over come Arkansas Mafia and Conservative Talk-Show barage at the same time.
He is done.
I am happy if Obama wins, and happy if he loses! Either way the GOP wins.
Philadelphia has mean streets. I do not think Her Highness of Enabling wins PA.
LOL. Where did you come up with that number? By the end of tonight, Obama will still have about a 150 lead in pledged delegates. Under the Dem system of proportional allocation of delegates, there is no way Hillary can make up that kind of difference. She will have to pull at least 75% of the delegates after tonight. Hillary hasn't beaten Obama by such margins.
I doubt if there will be a redo of FL or MI, especially if Obama is leading comfortably in pledged delegates. And even if it did occur, there is no way Hillary would repeat the 50% to 33% victory in FL and she would not get that many more delegates [210 delegates composed of 121 district, 64 at-large, and 25 unpledged delegate votes) than Obama.
And Obama will win Mississippi [40 delegates] and North Carolina [110 delegates] handily with more than two to one margins. This will more than offset Hillary winning Indiana [79 delegates] and PA [181 delegates]. I seriously doubt that Hillary win either one of these states by 20%.
NO ONE can over come Arkansas Mafia and Conservative Talk-Show barage at the same time. He is done.
Saying something doesn't make it so. Hillary may drop out of this if she loses Texas. There just aren't that many delegates left after tonight. You have to do the math.
They used to say Live Free or Die now it is ...

I don’t disagree with your math. However, you are failing to take into account the momentum Hildabeast is building tonight.
Do you realize Obama already slipped in National Poll behind her in last 3 days?
He is done.
The trend continues of Hussein winning the “white” states while dropping the “mixed” states
I don’t believe it is the Massachusetts folks that are doing it by and large, but I’m open minded. A demographic study would certainly be interesting. My guess is that natives are becoming less religious and more liberal and newcomers from elsewhere are adding to the problem. Again, I could be wrong, but that’s my experience.
Hmmm... Did “Larry, his brother Darryl and his other brother Darryl” voted for Barack Hussien Obama? Those characters on ‘Newhart’ were not Sterotypes — that is what the dumbells in Vermont are.
Vermont, lovely state — crazy peoples!!
Exactly correct and in fact, Hillary might even lose the delegate count tonight with the Caucaus.
What Obama has done by removing Hillary's double-digit leads in two delegate rich states, is make it virtually impossible for Hillary to catch him on the pledged delegate count.
Exactly correct.
The math is against her and she is runnning out of delegate rich states.
Even with a redo in both Florida and Mich. she will not defeat Obama by the numbers needed to catch his delegate lead.
Then let the White Democratic leadership explain to the blacks how they are going to pick Hillary over Obama when he has more pledged delegates!
I am amazed how so many on FR overestimate the Clintons.
This is not who the Democrat Party leaders intended this nomination to go.
They had hoped that it would be wrapped up by now by someone.
Now, you are going to see fissions develop in the Democrat Party as each side gets nastier.
Whoever wins, there is going to be alot of disappointed supporters of the other one who is not going to support the candidate.
who would have thought it. the state that brought you howard dean goes for the pied piper.
I’m bookmarking those youtube vids
We will be like the French with Baaaarack Osoma Momma in charge and be waving a white flag. I like that, Prsident Baaarack Osoma Momma! Has a nice ring to it doesn’t it>
One way or another with Clinton and Obama as candidates they grabbed those important votes. With both of them on the ticket...well, the writing is on the wall.
The Democratic race for a candidate has created such a media ferver and rampant support already it has drowned out most coverage of the Republican race and especially will leave McCain wanting for equal publicity. That was always their plan - to get as much publicity as possible, no matter how "devisive" the party appeared to be initially, or how at-odds the Dem candidates seemed to be.
It was a ploy they created to arrouse strong feelings for either of Obama or Hillary based specifically on gender, race and the youth vote, and the Dems played it out. They made an issue of gender and race while pretending those things should not matter. Reverse strategy worked there. With one as the final nominee, and the other as a VP selection, the Dems will capture what they wanted - a unified electorate, in lock-step simply because some wanted the first female, and others wanted the first black in the WH, and the youth simply wanted "change." Votes will be based mainly on that, and not on qualifications or capabilities.
Second, why would Obama, who is advocating a new direction for the Democrat Party, tie himself to the old Clinton leadership?
Third, being vice-President doesn't really help you get the Presidency, ask Al Gore.
Fourth, a Hillary/Obama ticket is not going to satisfy the blacks and youth but it will bring out the conservatives in force and many independents will also likely move to McCain due the radical nature of the ticket.
Hillary is not going to be the Democrat nominee, the Democrats cannot rish alienating their black base or casting cold water on the young people who have been drawn to his campaign.
