27. What?
Hillary was first lady in neighboring Arkansas for eight years. And if she loses but gets a little more than 40% you call that a victory? Hillary should have won in Louisiana going away. It's great victory for Obama whether Hillary gets slightly more than 40% or not.

Then you add in his greater than two to one victories in Nebraska and Washington State and it's just awesome.

Up next Texas and Ohio
Obama won't be as lucky there - no caucuses, real voting.

25. What universe do they live in? This is almost amusing.
I think the grimmer it looks the more deluded they get.

33. If she continues to lose by big numbers in these other states, it will destroy her.

36. Ohio isn't a caucus state
its a regular primary state. It will be much more difficult to steamroll the selection process here.

19. He's won as many primaries as he has caucuses and HRC hasn't won that many more
besides I think Obama can win TX and OH.

26. Those are gonna be the surprises.
I think he'll take one of those by a wider than expected margin and come very close in the other.

34. Obama has won many primaries.
He can win Texas or Ohio. He might not, but he certainly can win him.
Tonight's sweep may not net him tons of delegates, but it is a perception victory.

35. sorry. you're wrong as usual. TX is a hybrid with more delegates
alloted through the caucus process than the primary and he's only ten points back there. He's won MORE primaries than she has already and he'll pick up VA, DC and MD on Tuesday. He has all the momentum and over two weeks to narrow the gap in TX and Ohio.

keep sucking on your sour grapes. There'll be lots and lots more for you.

:rofl:

37. Good luck!
Trying to bully and steamroll Texas Dems in a caucus. It won't be pretty.

Here in Ohio, you're screwed. You have to win with real Dem voters in a primary election.

42. he has a good chance in TX and you know more about Ohio but in a real dem state
like mine, he'll win big. Ohio dems are no where close to as liberal as Vermont dems. You don't really want to argue that. And we're going to beat Hillary here by 25 pt at least. Vermont is the most liberal state in the country, cookie. Bernie couldn't be elected anywhere else. And you just might be in for a surprise there in Ohio. He's got the momentum and he'll have lots more of it by the time March 4 rolls around.

Good luck. You desperately need it. Now I'll let you get back to those grapes.

he'll be speaking in about 5 minutes. Rachel Maddow said it would be pitchforks and torches if those superdelegates mess around with outcome.

23. Careful now. You used the words "broom" and "sweep" in the same sentence.
That may cause you to be called a "sexist" in some circles.
