[QUOTE=Mr. Rosewater] Actually I just realized that I am watching MSNBC not CNN. Sorry. [/QUOTE] You could have played it off. CNN did make that announcement right at the top of the hour. They cut off McCain to do it too. ---

Alright people… McCain’s coming out to be a difficult adversary… But I get the feeling that Barack’s going to make us proud. ---

They are talking about combining campaigns but Obama not taking Clinton as the Vp. Huh? the women’s league would be melded into his campaign? Did Olberman just say that??? Damn I’m listening from a different room! Gah! ---

MSNBC just called South Dakota for Hillary. CRAP! Sigh… I know, I know, small potatoes. Still… ---

At the top of the [cnn.com](http://cnn.com) page is a “Watch Now” link. It apparently isn’t the actual CNN cablecast feed although they may sometimes be showing the same thing (like when Obama or Clinton speaks tonight). You can choose from 4 (or so) different feeds. When Hill comes up to speak, you can see it on one of those feeds… ---

Ok McCain is being an idiot now. Obama is annointed and in this for himself and McCain is in this for you the American people. :rolleyes: not enough rolleyes for that piece of crap! Come on John be an American Hero and have some respect, don’t be a dick. ---

Earlier tonight, John McCain outlined a vision of America that’s very different from ours – a vision that continues the disastrous policies of George W. Bush. > > But this is our moment.

She congratulated Obama and quickly moved on. So far it’s been nice except for the lie that she has the popular vote – very self-serving math goes into that determination. ---

It’s messed up that when the words “hard working” come out of Hillary’s mouth, I can’t assume she’s talking about blacks. ---

[QUOTE=cricetus] She congratulated Obama and quickly moved on. So far it’s been nice except for the lie that she has the popular vote – very self-serving math goes into that determination. [/QUOTE] But she didn’t congratulate him for getting the nomination. She congratulated him for going through the process now that it’s over. …And did you hear her say that South Dakota was the last race in the primary. What’s Montana, chopped liver? ---

That’s it. She did not concede. She was whupped. She deserves no consideration at all from Obama, as the nominee or as President. ---
