In other news, Hillary fires her campaign manager.
It’s looking better for Barack every day. He looks to be a good bet to sweep on tuesday as well.
Yeah - its a new day. Obama all the way!
Hillary has the unenviable position of standing in the way of history.
FTR, a Hillary presidency or even a nomination would also be history.
The best thing this win does for him is put him ahead of Clinton even when you include the superdelegates that have already endorsed. cite. Now the MSM can’t keep screwing with the numbers to make it look like Hillary’s ahead when she’s really not.
Oh wait, CNN will continue to award her Michigan and Florida, seeing as how she “won” those states. :rolleyes:
I can’t wait for him to squash her in Texas and Ohio. I just hope she has the grace to step aside for the good of this country.
Let’s not get cocky folks. March 4 is gonna be a tough fight, and while Obama’s victories this month can only help him, he needs either Ohio or Texas (or better yet, both) if he’s gonna win this thing.
Well, I’m sure that was handled calmly and without rancor.
I hope he wins. Just to interject a bit of reality here though…remember the excitement around here that Kerry was going to unseat Bush, ehe? Don’t get carried away…Hillary isn’t out of this thing yet.

I don’t know, I feel the historical significance of her NOT winning would be greater. She’s had her sights set on the Presidency for a long time, so much so that I think she, and many others took it as a done deal.
Did I read that the Obama campaign was complaining or irregularities in a recent primary?
There’ve been quite a few, especially in states where the Democrats held “open” primaries. Many independent, decline-to-state, and nonpartisan voters were turned away by poll workers who either didn’t know the rules (which is outrageous!) or intended to impede the process (pure speculation).
Los Angeles had our own version of the “butterfly ballot” debacle, so at the moment 94,000 votes are still being reviewed by the County Registrar, though that number could rise significantly.
Reports of people eligible to vote being turned away in Louisiana, caused the Obama campaign to contact the Secretary of State there, as well. Seems someone switched the registrations of a buttload of people! And instead of being given provisional ballots, they were told they couldn’t vote at all.
I think it’s shameful that poll workers aren’t properly instructed on how to assist ALL voters to cast ballots at their polling places.
For what it is worth, I think the concept of the first woman President would be more impressive if she was not the wife of an ex-President/Presidential candidate.
If Pelosi or Olympia Snow was running, I would think it more impressive.
I am much more impressed by Thatcher’s achievement than Indira Gandhi.

If this were a bad made-for-TV movie, we’d learn that this goes all the way to the top!
Guess again. ABC is still reporting Hillary up by 20-some-odd delegates. (And speaking of ABC, we’ve been treated to two weeks now of George Stephanopoulos shilling for Hillary.)
Your own cite contradicts your claim. Including superdelegates, that site says Clinton is ahead.
Huh? It says Clinton 1131, Obama 1134.
Huh? No it doesn’t. Including Supers, Shayna’s link has Obama up 1134 to 1131.
It’s been showing 1131 Clinton, 1134 Obama for the past few hours. Where do you see Clinton ahead in that cite? It is, however, showing Obama getting 14 delegates in Maine whereas everything else I’ve seen gives him 15, so who knows how accurate any of these results are.
Ah, now the numbers agree. I had looked at the site before and hadn’t refreshed. My mistake.
Meanwhile, over at ABC, they are still showing Clinton up, 1127 to 1110. :rolleyes:
And CNN has Clinton up 1148 to 1121. :rolleyes:
Obama’s gonna have to sweep the Potomac primary before they give him credit.
PBS has it:
