Obama-gone 80% reporting

By The GroupNewsBlog

Obama 308,837 58%
Clinton 221,376 42%
In the "under" vote, McCain has collected more votes than Clinton. This has to be one of the first times since the Republican nominee was selected that he has not lost to the Democratic 2nd place finisher. On another note, racist Ron Paul is pulling only 15%.

With this win Senator Obama has won a majority of pledged delegates and is within 64 delegates of securing the democratic nomination.

So, just to recap...

Total delegates: Obama 1957, Clinton 1775 (Obama + 182)
Superdelegates: Obama 305, Clinton 279 (Obama + 26)

Popular vote (w/ FL): Obama 17,225,154 = 48.2%, Clinton 17,078,440 = 47.8%

I no longer look at the MI vote because Obama's name did not appear on the MI ballot and the tallies are skewed as a result.

At this point Obama needs just 68 delegates to secure the nomination. And there are only three primaries/caucuses remaining: Puerto Rico, South Dakota and Montana. There are just 86 delegates between those three votes that can be allocated. So there are now just two outcomes: enough superdelegates shift to Obama's side of the balance sheet to put him over the top after the delegates from those three primaries are allocated -- and with only an eighteen-delegate gap between what Obama needs to win and the total number available, there's very little mathematical probability that he'll win outright prior to the convention -- or we get a brokered convention, with all the pomp, ceremony and mudslinging that accompanies ANY major political gathering. (Watch a Congressional session on C-SPAN if you don't believe any of that.)

Clinton is fighting a losing battle, but she's too mired in herself to realize how badly she's damaging the nation because of her unwillingness to do the right thing and concede.

So off we go to Denver. Remind me not to try for tickets to a Rockies game around that time.

She HAS to take him down and help McCain win. If she doesn't, she'll probably NEVER be president as her chances of a successful run in 2016 are REAL DAMN SLIM after the contents of the entire Clinton library are released. Oh and by the way, all the "age" comments being made about McCain are being logged just in case the then 69 year old Hillary runs in 2016....

Three good things about an Obama Presidency right off the bat:
1. Hillary is pretty much done. Unless he puts her on as Veep, in that case he'd be wise to "hand select" his Secret Service contingent (Beware the Ides of March!). She is after all OWED the Presidency, it's her DESTINY and she won't be denied by some upstart cool kid!

2. A good argument can be made that the last vestiges of government sanctioned discrimination in this country - Affirmative Action - can be laid to rest and ALL people can judged as MLK said "Not by the color of their skin, but by the content of character".

3. Minority children now will have a VERY positive role model instead of idolizing people like 50Cent, Public Enemy and NWA..

Do you even think?

Does everything you post have to be Rush thoughts? I must ask, how can you even listen to a drug addicted, draft dodging, 3 times divorced child molester? How can you listen to a liar who called the troops phony? Do you really have that much hatred for America and the American way of life?

By hufflarry2000May 21, 2008 - 11:35am

Just as easily as...

you can listen to a constantly drunk bitch who falls down and claims she was mugged by Republicans.

You can also add that payroll tax dodger that's running for congress into the mix!

Thanks Bush

Stop lying

Randi claimed no such thing. I am not surprised that you support draft dodging, drug addiction, divorce and child molesting. I know how much you people despise the soldiers. These are your values. You are an immoral, valueless Republican after all.

We will be using your tax dollars to promote the liberal agenda. There is nothing you can do about it.

By hufflarry2000May 21, 2008 - 1:15pm

OK,

What about Mr. Franken, tax cheat...or is the IRS lying about that, too?

By voltarMay 21, 2008 - 1:21pm

Thanks Bush

By f u bush2May 21, 2008 - 1:22pm

That is senator Franken to you

Provide proof that he is a tax cheat.

By hufflarry2000May 21, 2008 - 1:23pm

Prove he isn't...

I think six states are after him right now...put down the crack pipe and look it up yourself...Unlike you I have to get back to work.

By voltarMay 21, 2008 - 1:27pm

Isnt the lunch rush

about done at Wendy's? Isnt it time for your break? I am a wealthy, northeastern, liberal elitist. You work for me. Keep those tax cuts coming! You need to keep working longer, harder and for less pay so that you can make me richer. I am better than you.

The IRS had nothing to do with anything. And, there was no cheating. Just some accounting errors. And he overpaid taxes in New York and Minnesota because he paid taxes in those states rather than the states that he earned the money in.

Are you posting from work cheating on your employer's time and internet resources?

Hillary knows as well as anyone that this was her only shot. She won't run again. And I'm not sure what you loopy wingnuts think will be found in the Clinton library but I'm certain it will pale in comparison to anything we learn about your boy, Bush.

An Obama presidency won't magically erase hundreds of years of racial injustice. I'm afraid the poor racially oppressed white males in this nation will just have to endure the terrible discrimination a while longer ... my heart bleeds for them ...

By frazzledMay 21, 2008 - 11:58am

Yes! - Officially Its Over!

The super delegates should come out now and tell her to stop.

MSNBC talked about this nonsense concerning WV and KY last night. The Clinton talking point is that the voters in these states will not vote for Obama and that is a concern.

The truth is that Obama doesn't have a problem with white voters outside this region. As a matter of fact they gave numbers from past elections. The percentage of democrats in this primary in KY last night that said they would not vote for Obama if he is the nominee is the same as the percentage of democrats that voted for the republican candidate in recent elections. Actually it was pointed out that this problem for the democrats in this region goes back to the 60's.

The other talking point of the Clinton's is that Bill Clinton won those states. The truth is that he did win them but he did not get the majority. He got the plurality. Ross Perot was a factor.

Amazing...

2000 – "Every vote (in three Democrat strongholds in FL) MUST be counted!"

2008 - "Only states where B. Hussein Obama won should be counted...to hell with those losers in MI (FL may redeem themselves because B. Hussein Obama won the "popular" vote.)

Looks like the Dems are the party of disenfranchisement, huh?

I wonder if Tommy has to keep logging on and off to switch puppets?

Well if his local library has computers they are probably all unused. If Tommy is an example of his community then I doubt most of his neighbors go to the library. He's probably keeping news of the computers at the library hushed up.

By f u bush2May 21, 2008 - 3:56pm

No wonder he's pissed...

Thanks to the Censoring Chimp, library computers have to have filters now if the libraries want any federal money. You know what that MEANS, right? No Internet porn for most of our trollage!
