MSNBC projecting Obama winner in DC.

[mware]

Here is my prediction for DC, since they do not have exit polls there.

Obama WINS with 115% of the vote.

[Petronski]

So how do we look at the numbers???

Visually.

[Nervous Tick]

>> Hickabee

That wasn’t a typo... was it? :-)

Barack Hussein Obama will never get past the cringe factor. He won’t be President. Hillary could win it with her hold on the party machine.

I still think she will take out Obama. Her flying monkeys will find something to make him quit

The Wilder effect? Democrats will say they are going to vote for a black guy then go into the polling booth and pull the lever for an Repb?

Intresting thought. Do they hate blacks or Republicans worse? I know Democrats who could care less who the canidate is as long as the defeat us.

Be intresting to see which of the average Blue Collar Democrat’s prejudices wins out in Nov.

My anti-McDole vote may actually make a difference in VA.

[Ingtar]

He would have to take on the order of 64% of the delegates to force a brokered convention and 60% if the 41 uncommitted could be persuaded to vote for anyone but McCain on the first ballot. It is difficult, but I see little to no chance if he loses VA. tonight. Not bad that they cannot call it when he was down 32 points in the polls on Friday.

[AppyPappy]

They don’t do that in the primaries.

[GulfBreeze]

Is Virginia winner take all or is it District by District?

This will give Hillary heartburn.

Per Drudge: In Virginia Exits, Obama wins Latin Vote by Double Digits -- 55-45..

[gridlock]

Your opinion. We better off with the Clintons or Obama winning the Democrat Nomination?

I fear Hillary and what evil tricks she can pull in the General Election. I do not fear Obama, so I want Obama to win the nomination. We can beat him in an up-and-down fight. With Hillary, you never know what could happen.

I so loathe Hillary, and so much don't want her to be President, I want her to lose as early and as often as possible. As much as I would enjoy pulling the lever against her in November, I will enjoy it even more if she never makes it that far, and is repudiated by her own party.

[MNJohnnie]

Yeah it was. Sorry.

[Ingtar]

The winner of Virginia Republican Primary will receive all of Virginia’s 63 votes on the first ballot at the national convention, unless released by the candidate. The Delegates are not bound on any subsequent ballot, or for a vice presidential candidate, or for any particular issue in the platform.

[muawiyah]

The deal is there are still several names on the list to vote for ~ McCain, Huckabee, Romney, Paul ~ and others. Even if they don't have an "active campaign" their names are there.

The math here is exceedingly complex.

[purpleraine]

Karl Rove has added greatly to the Fox News election coverage.

[unspun]

Don’t try to reason with people. Don’t use facts.

Don’t you know? That math just isn’t there.

Okay the GHOST of Hitler is smiling in Hell.....or maybe he is jealous because new a Political Messiah has risen in America named Obama who is a fascist and hates the Jews.

Who is gonna beat him in November? McCain? The best political machine is the history of the USA — Clinton, Inc. — has just been ground to dust.

My hypothesis: unlike most of us here, I’ll bet you actually ARE a GOP politician. ;-)

No, but I was Chairman at my Caucus and had my delegates wash my car......
