Looks like my info on Ohio was right.... Looks like a trifecta for Hillary!

[jlake]

Some of y'all scoffed when I said that Hillary's internal polls showed a much bigger win in OH than the public polls....

Some of y'all called me delusional when I predicted big wins for Hillary.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4853634
Some of y'all told me of all the crow I would be eating.
Looks like y'all were wrong. Looks like I was right.
I was sincere in my beliefs - and my hopes were not false. Hillary is the real deal - and she can stomp McCain in the GE!
Go Hillary! For all of us!
Yes she can. Yes we will!

Add Rhode Island, Ohio & Texas to Hilly's column!

[Unsane]

1. I still think Obama takes TX

[JCMach1]

15. Not looking good for him at the moment considering cities report EARLY

in TX

[Unsane]

20. What Im reading suggests his strongholds have yet to report

[Blue_Roses]

30. It's only early voting that is being counted

the bigger cities and caucuses haven't even been reported yet

[jlake]

55. Sorry. wrong again.

[PseudoIntellect]

2. Wait until Obama's strongholds come in. It'll narrow some.

[Maddy McCall]

3. Let it be true!

Please hold true!!

She's got the momentum in Texas!

[Horse with no Name]

23. 65% in my rural county

and those numbers are not in the SOS tally yet.
I saw them while I was leaving the caucus.

[LadyVT]

4. Whoo hoo!!! :)

[Kittycat]

5. Trifecta suggests 3 wins.

I only see two. And I expected those two.

[jlake]

RI, OH & TX = 3

[Kittycat]

13. How are you figuring a HRC win? No Caucus Results Yet & Still waiting on

Harris and other Obama strongholds to come in.

[skooooo]

49. Don't bring up the caucus.

They don't like that!! It doesn't count!!

[lapfog_1]

18. How many net delegates does she pick up tonight???

It's ALWAYS about the delegates folks... always has been.

Hillary is picking up NEGATIVE net delegates tonight. Trust me. Obama +10

[jlake]

Hillary +15-20

[lapfog_1]

45. Really, just pull that number out of your butt?

Wishful thinking much?

Well, dream on. Not happening.

And, oh, btw, she needed to pick up FIFTY delegates tonight to have a SHOT at just tying OBama by convention time. Just to tie, not to win. FIFTY. (some analysts suggested 100, but I'm being generous). 10 or 20 just isn't going to cut it. And she won't get a +10 or a +20, not from tonight.

[jlake]

56. I'm going to change my prediction to 50 - thanks for the advice!

[Unsane]

6. It's called HillaryMath

[NightWatcher]

7. she'll net a dozen delegates and cut obama's lead to 145

[jlake]

9. Obama does not lead by 157 delegates.... and I am hearing rumblins of

many super delegates ready support Hillary a la Obama.

[Hawkeye-X]

21. The rumblings you are hearing is Bill farting on you.

Dream on, jlake.

[jlake]

27. lol. I don't think so!

[Lucinda]

16. It's about the media and the momentum right now...

[jlake]

29. Yup. Obamabots don't want to recognize that.... and it looks like a big win in OH.

[Pryderi]

39. It's shit like this that keeps egging me on to post flamebait, you hillithfaire zombie.

[jlake]

62. lol ~ you're kind of cut and funny when you're so riled up!

:hi: :hi: :hi:

[tekisui]

8. Ohio narrowing, Texas, I predict will go to Obama.

Regardless, she will not gain in delegate counts tonight,.

[Bake]

17. And Obama will once again not be able to close the deal.

He just can't deliver the knockout.

Bake

[tekisui]

25. He has until Aug. No worries.

[jlake]

70. No, Hilly will score the knockout long before then. Watch it happen.

[jlake]

26. Obama just can't pull the knockout punch

Not to mention the popular vote, which is likely to be even steven again.
This is a good night for Hilly, Democrats, America and the world!

[hell-bent]

34. What network are you watching?

NBC just predicted Hillary to win Ohio. Did you get your news from outer space?

[tekisui]

36. And it is still narrowing....

I didn't say she wouldn't take Ohio, only that it was narrowing, and it is. Watch the delegate count, that is what matters.

And I still think Texas will go to Obama.

[Bake]

37. She's up by 19 points in Ohio now.

I'd call that pretty big.

Bake

[tekisui]

38. It is.

[tekisui]

48. The margin has narrowed to 14% now.

[Bake]

57. 14 is still a pretty big win.

Especially in an environment as divided as this one is.

Bake

[tekisui]

63. Down to a 10% win with 99% reporting.

[jlake]

69. More than double what the polls were showing.

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. ...

:woohoo:

[juajen]

11. I must say, it looks promising, and I am very excited.

Hope she does win the trifecta. I saw her town hall meeting last night and thought she might do better in Texas than I had previously believed. GO HILLARY GO!

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

12. Come talk to me tomorrow morning.

See how your predictions have panned out by then.

[Hawkeye-X]

14. It's STILL over, no matter how much you spin it, jlake.

It's OVER. Got it? IT IS OVER.

Don't understand? IT'S OVER FOR HILLARY

Go do the math on the remaining delegates.

And don't give me the Rezko bullshit - I'll give you 17 indicted/jailed Clinton donors.

Hawkeye-X

[jlake]

19. I see a clear path to the White House for Hillary. This was Obama's chance to knock her out.

He just can't do it.... and now the mo has shifted back and many remaining states will favor Hillary..... especially Penna!

[debbierlus]

43. I don't know what will happen, however he might have peaked early

This race is just too plain crazy to call.

It is amusing to watch both sides dismiss the failures and successes of the other candidate. If one loses a state, then that state doesn't matter. If one wins a state, that state is very relevant.

It is really silly.

[skooooo]

47. Does mathematics mean anything to you jlake?

Let's see, there are other politician that have problems with things like math (Huckabee - oh wait, he got out), and George Bush with science. What does this tell you?

[aquarius dawning]

22. I'm hoping you're right but this is going to be a looong night.

and we haven't fully counted his base yet.

[DuaneBidoux]

24. Scanning CNNS county by county it looks like big Ohio win for Clinton, narrow Texas win for Obama.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

28. I hope Obama wins, but if she wins, I'll vote for her. However, I hope she....

goes against the trade agreements she and her husband so loved and pushed for that destroyed the jobs in our country. In fact, I think it's really interesting that places like Ohio, which suffered so much from industries disappearing from the U.S., should vote for a Clinton. :shrug:

[I Vote In Pittsburgh]

31. Ummm... Obama will win Texas

Hillary has a slim to none chance. I predict a 7% Obama win in texas and a 13% Clinton win in Ohio.

[jlake]

61. Ouch. that had to hurt!

[Iceburg]

32. Looks like a trifecta indeed ...

Rhode Island -

Male (43%) - 56% Obama, 43% Clinton
Female (57%) - 58% Clinton, 41% Obama

Ohio -

Male (41%) - 52% Obama, 47% Clinton
Female (59%) - 54% Clinton, 45% Obama

Texas -

Male (43%) - 52% Obama, 46% Clinton
Female (57%) - 53% Clinton, 46% Obama

----------------------
Now crunching the numbers ...
If the above exit poll numbers hold ...
Clinton wins RI with 53%
Clinton wins Ohio with 52%
Clinton wins Texas with 52%

[avrdream]

33. I didn't argue with you.

I actually told you I loved you and wanted to marry you (because of your enthusiasm for Hill).

I sincerely hope all your projections come true.

Got any for the rest of the race?

[awaysidetraveler]

35. CNN just admitted that none of the major cities have been counted, making the race close in Ohio

They haven't closed the polls yet.

[RockyTorres]

42. Columbus is pretty much all in...Cuyahoga is not going to break

for Obama like they thought it was going too...BTW Cuyahoga is Cleveland

[RockyTorres]

40. I called it too..woohooooooo :)

[jlake]

58. Awesome! Go Hilary!

[joshcryer]

41. LOL, I admit I didn't see this coming, but it must be good to be able to revel. :)

[femrap]

44. I feel so much better!

She'll kick McCain's ass. Yes. She. Will.

[CyberPieHole]

46. Keep up the great posts, jlake...the CULT of Obama is going to have to deal with Hillary...

all the way to the convention. Where SHE will be crowned Democratic Nominee. Obama can go back and serve as counsel to his buddy the Slumlord, Antoin Rezko.:evilgrin:


:kick: and rec

[Umbram]

50. You only got one word right. "crowned."

In democracies we elect people. If Clinton wins, it will be a crowning indeed.

[skooooo]

51. Does mathematics mean anything to you?

The convention is determined by the delegates.

Let's see, there are other politician that have problems with things like math (Huckabee - oh wait, he got out), and George Bush with science. What does this tell you?

[ElsewheresDaughter]

53. ~ * ~......................

[skooooo]

54. Hi Hillary!

[jlake]

66. Yup. And Hillary will have enough delegates and a STRONG case for winning!

[Asia Expat]

52. I love your enthusiasm...

Please keep it up.

[Beacool]

59. You were absolutely right!!!!!!!!!

CNN & NBC called Texas for Hillary a little while ago!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go Hillary!!!!!!!!!


:bounce:

[jlake]

60. I am so proud of her tonight! Her speech was the best yet!

She knows she's back in!
Go Hillary!

[NDambi]

64. She is still losing...she won three, but she hasn't caught him..and I don't believe she will

Thank goodness because I just can't vote for her in November...no can do.

[Raffi Ella]

65. I LOVE YOU jlake!!!

:hug: Thank you for everything!YOU WERE RIGHT!Woooooooo!

As crazy as it was I NEVER lost the Faith that she would win.When she lost Wisconsin it made me fight all the harder for her.I just KNEW America wouldn't let her down - And they didn't!

It Feels SO GOOD this morning I just can't even stand it!

[jlake]

67. Thank YOU! I am so proud of Hillary! I knew she could deliver!

The good people are waking up and realizing what we need in a leader!

[amborin]

68. YES, Hillary WON BOTH SUPER TUESDAYS, nt
