Well then they’ve already made it to the crossroads…
Eh.
Bill shook up his campaign staff more than once in '92.
Is it true that caucuses are still under way in Maine? I’m reading that Portland is not done. How are they reporting results if people are still voting?
I support Hillary, and I am a registered Democrat who would vote for McCain before I cast a vote for Obama. I know that the people I congregate with feel the same. FTR I’m in colorado transplanted from Michigan.
Flame away, but that is how my vote goes, my mind is made up.
Congregate is an odd verb to have used. Are you talking about your church?
I actually don’t know very many people who go this way, but certainly they’re out there. On the other hand, I know quite a lot of Democrats who would vote McCain over Clinton, which puzzles me somewhat.
What do you – and they – find objectionable about Obama?
Over brunch this morning, I almost convinced my dyed-in-the-wool, slightly-to-the-right-of-Nixon, Republican mother to vote Obama. She’s still holding her nose and supporting McCain, but she doesn’t like it. I think another fews brunches and I’ll have her convinced.
But as any video game veteran will tell you, you have to do it three times before the opponent finally gives up the ghost (unless the opponent is a ghost).
Even cynical ol’ me is beginning to . . . dare I say it? . . . hope. I’ve backed the losing horse in matters political* that I’m deathly afraid of delivering the kiss of death to Obama’s campaign, but I have a feeling I’ll be on the proverbial pins&needles from here on out.
*I once backed Tsongas, then switched my allegiance to Dukakis, fer cryin’ out loud!
HRC is on the ropes and needs to LOOK like she has momentum - and soon. Her speech last night sounded uncertain of her candidacy, let alone Presidency. His, however, was confident, inspiring.
If she doesn’t get momentum and positive press soon, the money will dry up. While that’s not the be all and end all. McCain could make it without much money, but that was last year. This is the actual election year. Low money at this point CAN be lethal.
She doesn’t have the charisma of others. Or she doesn’t consistently.
And she has a battery of arguments she can’t make at Obama because he can put her on the defensive since she is far less disclosing of information…
Early March just might be IT. I, for one, would welcome that.
Si se puede!
Mexican President Felipe Calderon is coming to the US and is not speaking with any of the candidates or President Goofy. He’s making stops in major cities to try and shape the immigration debate during the presidentical race. However, it was noted that Calderon was using verbage almost exactly matching Barack Obama’s stance on Immigration.
Hey! They stopped showing the televised results on CNN? Must I wait until that xenophobic maniac Lou Dobbs’ show ends before the numbers are shown again?
Poor, poor Lou Dobbs. To think I used to respect that fool.
There hasn’t been an update for 40min but, from what I understand, some of the caucus sites don’t close until 8pm Eastern.
I’m optimistic but I worry when I can’t see the country returns. I’m always waiting for the Missouri Effect like in the 2006 Senate race and the Feb 5th Primaries where they called it for the Republicans/Clinton until St. Louis was counted and flipped the result to the Democrats/Obama at 2am. I imagine the turnout in Maine was low enough due to the weather that it wouldn’t take too much to shift the percentages.
And now you pity him?
Well, actually, yes. Yes I do. He’s obviously off his meds. Won’t someone refill Lou’s prescription?
Someone is not a happy camper, per CNN
MSNBC has called Maine for Obama!
Anomalous, make sure you tell all your friends and family about the caucuses that follow the polls closing! This is critically, critically important.
It makes my head want to explode. If you can’t make heads nor tails out of that, the Star Telegram has an article about the process, here.
So spread the word!
Even given how convoluted the Texas voting system seems to be, it’s looking pretty good for Obama. Just this morning he was endorsed by the following Texas newspapers:
Austin American Statesman
El Paso News
Dallas Morning News
San Antonio Express
Si se peude!
You guys might wanna put an accent in there…
Given my geography and obvious leanings I am sure there’s something I can do in a practical way, but don’t know where to turn. Any suggestions?
My family is largely a religious right leaning family and I won’t be surprised if they all vote for Huckabee…
