GoBama!!!

[Yael]

1. It is +5 now

Adding in Ohio and Arizona to the VI and UT ones.

:woohoo:

[kid a]

2. woohoo!!!!!

[Pab Sungenis]

4. So where's the Huckabee Index?

Is it finally in negative numbers? Does this seal the deal?

[Yael]

5. Doublecheck with phrigndumass or grantcart

I am showing 270.5 to 275 for Obama today with these 5 in. http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pbbO5K4njsUv_hkAVN7dIIg

WIth my count of 1,591.5, that puts him at 1,866.5

I believe the Huckabee Index is 1,869.5

So think it is at 3

:bounce:

[FARAFIELD]

6. Its looking more like he can get to 2209 no prob

Even if they give him a zero for Michigan but the pledged he earned with the votes he got in FLA, he would only need 167 of the 253 remaining supers. OUCH for Hillary. (the winner of EACH primary left would also have to win with 62%) doable.

[SoCalDem]

10. they need to PUT him there (2220..extra never hurts) and all sign a pledge

that says they are NOT changing their votes (she asked for a signed pledge from her 89 ..17 signed)

then they should PUBLISH the letter and END this nonsense NOW..

she says she won't go until the number is met..so MEET it DAMMIT!!

every day she's "in it", is another day of embarrassment for her (and US) and expense for Obama

[Yael]

11. They would have to seat MI and FL (and their SDs) to get that number

[SoCalDem]

13. that would be part of it.. Let her HAVE her pyhrric MI victory

and her Florida victory..

and even with ZERO votes from MI, he would still have the 22whatever needed, so she would have NO reason to challenge anything

[Yael]

15. There is that!

:D

[hokies4ever]

14. What's the Huckabee index?

[Yael]

16. 1,829.5 -- where it becomes mathmatically impossible for her to reach 2,025.

[hokies4ever]

19. LOL!

I'm guessing it's called this because Huckabee stayed in the race even though he had no path to victory? :rofl:

[Yael]

21. Yep -- when it became mathmatically impossible for him.

:D

[Gore1FL]

7. They have it as +3.5 there

[Yael]

12. Perfect!!

[Yael]

18. Oops -- I thought you were talking about the Huckabee Index.

I am counting Jimmy Carter, they aren't (but they count Tom Daschle -- so go figure)

They also haven't updated for the 5th endorsement today -- Dave Regan of Ohio (add-on unnamed).

There will be one more addon named in Ohio and one addon named in Mass today.

3. Woohoooo! nt

[my3boyz]

8. I wish CNN and MSNBC would show that he is leading too! nt

[me b zola]

9. Alright!

:woohoo:

[Willo]

17. Yes!

[sonias]

20. Woohoo!!! GOBAMA!

And yes I am shouting. That's damn good news!

:woohoo:

Sonia

[Zachstar]

22. Awesome news!!

[davidpdx]

23. I liked this image they posted from the NY Times

Though it would have been a bit more interesting if the Times had started on Feb 5th instead of Mar 4th.

[Arrowhead2k1]

24. I see one drop in delegates on Obama's graph near the end.

Did someone jump ship on Obama?

[Yael]

26. Nope.

Switchers here -- mid page: http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Superdelegate_Transparency_Project

[Arrowhead2k1]

29. Hmm, did a Super lose his standing/die or something?

Because that NYT graph seems to show a fairly recent loss.
No biggie, just wondering... :)

[Yael]

30. No -- it is probably just a graphics glitch

:hi:

[ProSense]

25. Quote of the day:

"It is perceived that he is the leader...The trickle is going to become an avalanche." -- Don Fowler, former DNC Chair and Hillary supporter.

[my3boyz]

31. Perceived to be the leader? He is the leader on all counts! nt

[4_Legs_Good]

27. Time to start the healing

because the nomination is more than a done deal.

OMG, I a SO looking forward to an Obama Presidency and getting this nation (and the world) back on the right track!
