Of course, Obama won in Connecticut, and Clinton won in Tennessee and Oklahoma. But maybe you meant the other east coast/central states.
Having grown up in St. Louis, I can say with confidence that it is a wasteland full of rubes and dullards. It also leads the nation in violent crime and bad driving statistics. Just so’s ya know.
A special FUCK YOU! to Alabama.
For who they voted for? Nah.
For Obama getting 14% more than Hillary? Nope.
For giving more delegates to the losing candidate! Fuck, get your shit fixed.
It didn’t seem to slow down the Reagan/Bush juggernaut back in the '80s.
Hey! Alaska is the west coast! Obama won Alaska!
You’re welcome!
And I don’t even get to vote until next week, but I appreciate your good will.
Eh, this Obama thing is just a blip to make it appear HRC fought hard for the nomination. She’s got the Dem machine delegates in her pocket and will win comfortably. It’s a carefully crafted ploy to avoid her having too much front runner status too soon. If she totally ran the table the whole primary season, people would start thinking of her like the New England Patriots and resentment would increase. If she “survives” a scrap, it makes her look like more of a fighter and not someone who’s machine bought the nomination.
People are getting more and more suspicious of the Electoral College and party nomination delegates. If HRC was blowing everybody out, there would be more of the cognitive dissonance of “everybody I know hates her, why is she winning big everywhere; must be crooked delegates”.

“Voodoo Economics. Remeber that, George?”
“Quiet, Tip.”
I’d just like to point out that this drunken OP is a fine example of mid-central dufus-ism.
…and hold on to those years of sexism.
When I hear the pundits wringing their hands over whether white Southern men will vote for a black guy or a woman, I have to laugh. Most of the Southern white guys I know are lefty peaceniks; many of them work for progressive non-profits. Admittedly, it’s a biased sample, but goddam, we’re not all dumb cross-burners down here.
Or maintain his last shreds of sanity. It pains me to say it, but I’m with bbs2k on this one. Hillary is Evil Incarnate.
I have to agree with Tuckerfan. Clinton would be foolish to pass on Obama as a running mate just on his fundraising ability alone. There also will be millions of his supporters who aren’t likely to vote at all if Clinton chooses someone else as veep. And, as has been pointed out, it could lock up the White House for at least the next 16 years.
And to our friend Mostly Uppercase Consonants, if Clinton’s votes on the war bother you, take comfort in her practiced duplicity. Once she sees which way the nation is leaning, she’ll go that way too.
Or, would you rather take your chances with McCain?
You should write your congressman or senator and get them to vote for legislation that would allow those poor folks to have the representation that they need.
I’m confused now, white guilt should have made me vote for Obama while Male guilt should have made me vote for Clinton? This is madness I tell you!
(I’m not even sure what white guilt is!)
Frankly, I’m with the OP on this one. Once again, Democrats have demonstrated a pig-headed insistence on running the least electable candidate possible. Good job, assholes. Enjoy the next four to eight years of President McCain.
This thread reminds me of people who think McCain is a liberal.
I voted for Hillary last night because I like her health care plan and thought she was the best qualified person running. I would have voted for Edwards but he went nowhere.
Get over it.
I love how with TLDRIDKJKLOLFTW there is absolutely no discernible difference between a sober post and a falling-down-piss-drunk post.
Anyone even know what this means?
Wow, I guess things are pretty progressive down at the co-op. Does “Democrat” mean the same thing in North Carolina that it does in Mississippi?
Can you translate the code phrase “I don’t want to go to the Delta - there’s too many Democrats there”?

Not really, no. Most of our Dixiecrats have either died or long since defected to the Republican party. In North Carolina, for the most part, if you’re a Democrat, it’s because you are more liberal than the Republicans. I know that’s not necessarily the case throughout the whole South, but I am sick to death of all white Southerners being tarred with the same brush.
