[Botany]

1. It is not over in Ohio

http://vote.sos.state.oh.us/pls/enr/f?p=152:5:0

Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati have not reported in.

[RL3AO]

2. HRC's lead down to 15k

[Kittycat]

3. Everyone get a grip & a drink.

TX is not even close to being over. Waiting on big cities (harris for example) and Caucus results.

OH will narrow some, again - big cities, and 99% of Cleveland is still out.

[Psst_Im_Not_Here]

4. From thread #3

Wow, come on now! Clinton has a 19000 vote lead. He's got a 44000 vote lead in Houston/Harris county with only 1% reporting. Dallas? 41000 vote lead with 13% in, Austin? 31000 vote lead, 9% reporting. Guess where the highest concentration of delegates are? You got it. It's WAY too early to throw in the towel!

[Psst_Im_Not_Here]

14. Here's a delegate map for Ohio

like the one grantcart posted in thread #3 for Texas. Thought it'd be helpful. Eyes on the delegates guys!

[Drunken Irishman]

5. Hopefully he can have huge gains here and take the lead.

[MadBadger]

8. Hes fighting back. Down 16,000

[MadBadger]

6. From now on, there should be No More Mr. Nice Guy

No more Mr. Nice Guy. Take that Kitchen Sink she just threw and launch it back her way. Start to bloody her up. Start talking up about divisive and polarizing Hillary is. Start criticizing her lack of experience and the fact that she claims she is tested, when in fact she hasnt been tested. Lets go back to being the insurgent candidate. Go after her, and show some passion. Also, do as many big arena events as you can. It always helps with the headlines when he does this. And as for me? I dont have money to spend, but I spend it anyway on an Obama donation.

[mmonk]

13. Yeah. Just heard the Clintons are the democratic party and are entitled.

My ass.

[Kittycat]

26. And he will. The 50 delegate bomb & money bomb are going to drop.

She'll win the headlines tonight with RI & OH - Obama will be the headlines tomorrow with TX. Then we have two more events favoring Obama in the next week - plus the bombs.

[MadBadger]

34. If Obama loses TX, dont assume all those 50 delegates will stay with Obama

[UrbScotty]

74. I wouldn't assume any of them would go with him

even if he does take Texas.

[blonndee]

27. I for one can play the dirty email/web smear game.

IF it comes to that, which I would rather it didn't. I'll only dish out in equal measure, of course.

[Hamlette]

32. I'm with you

tear her head off

[Drunken Irishman]

7. Great, the CNN results just stopped loading for me.

Ugh.

[doublethink]

9. Don't interrupt Hillary's 2 hours of momentum swing ....... out of the last month and a half !!

till we win Texas later tonight !!!! Don't mess with Texas !!!! Go Obama !!!! :thumbsup:

[TexasLady]

10. Texas is O country

I saw it in my own precinct. Rural. Obama. Awesome!

But I do concur that Hill Has Ohio, barring a miracle.

I have NO idea what that means delegate wise.

Just my four-shot opinion.

GO DEMS! GO BLUE!

[Drunken Irishman]

12. If she wins Ohio and loses Texas, it's over for her.

We need this.

[MadBadger]

15. If he loses TX, I wonder how many of those 50 supers will go silent.

[Drunken Irishman]

19. I think a lot.

[goclark]

17. You mean we

still have a chance, I thought I saw a post that Texas went to HC?

Please tell me no ~

[AZBlue]

43. It's pretty much tied at the moment, with only 39% reporting.

Could easily go either way.

[davidinalameda]

18. give me one of those shots

tequila would be nice right about now


I knew that Obama would have his work cut out for him tonight but I feel like this is the November general election!

[oviedodem]

11. Look man I am now really just aggravated b/c I can see how this

country will believe any negative BS thrown their way. If it is not religious hate, GLBT Hate, race hate, sexist hate; it does not matter. If I where Obama drop out because MOST of this country will never allow his message to resonate. Negativity & Fear Mongering resonates now in the US, nothing more.

[skooooo]

25. I don't look at it that way...

People in Ohio are HURTING BAD. They are desperate, and reaching out to someone they think they can trust. She is familiar to them. I think race is more of a factor in Ohio as well. The more conservative democrats seem to go to Hillary.

[Kokonoe]

63. That stuff fires up the haters for sure. But we can't give up.

We need to set the tone of the election and not them.

[Drunken Irishman]

16. 17,000 vote lead for Clinton, Dallas at 35% reporting.

[tekisui]

20. Hillary going to speak soon in OH(called) Obama speaking in TX, later

This shows who the winner is. The winner speaks last. Texas will go to him, and he will build his delegate lead.

[goclark]

29. There is still a chance

? Please say yes

I've read so many negatives all over the other threads.

[woolldog]

21. I don't think Obama can win TX

El Paso county hasn't reported at all yet.

Dallas and Austin have started reporting in. I don't think it'll be enough. :(

[Drunken Irishman]

28. Yeah, especially now that his strongholds are starting to report and he's losing votes.

I thought once Dallas started rolling in he'd begin cutting her support down dramatically, but she's not being hit that bad by it.

[trueblue2007]

33. I hope Obama doesn't win Texas!!

Oregonians will decide and help elect the first woman president.

[Drunken Irishman]

This is an OBAMA supporter thread, go away.

[MadBadger]

44. Please leave, This thread has been very peaceful.

[Drunken Irishman]

22. Clinton gaining again and still no results from El Paso.

[thewiseguy]

48. Her lead is down to 14k

Can I ask you to please be more positive? :) Is that possible by any chance?

[grantcart]

23. The way it is going he is going to pick up 5 delegates in the primary

and 20 from the caucuses (or more) remember she is the one that is behind she is the one that has to pick it up

[Gore1FL]

24. Hillary is done by realistic mathematics

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x4881834

[skooooo]

30. Problem is, she doesn't believe in math -

just like Bush doesn't believe in science.

[Gore1FL]

36. fortunatley for Obama

The convention does.

[UrbScotty]

I would like to think so (nt)

[riverwalker]

31. Harris Co (Houston) still only 1% in

still a chance keep the faith

[Hamlette]

35. Can anyone tell me what the polls were , roughly, in TX and OH 3-4 weeks ago? n/t

[RL3AO]

39. Clinton +20 or so.

[adoraz]

37. meh, he won't win Texas

He will still win the nomination... but now Hillary has an excuse to keep this shit going for a few more months.

ridiculous how she will likely win win 1%, and that would make such a bigger difference.

[grantcart]

38. can you imagine how much money Obama will raise in March if people

think Clinton has a chance.

That Ohio loss could mean a $ 100 million month

[skooooo]

52. But what good does it do?

He spent a lot in Ohio, and, while we don't have the final results for tonight, he won't win it. Throwing money at things isn't always the solution. He had television ads running 24/7 there.

[backscatter712]

40. Just put Hillary's speech on mute.

I can't stand the sound of her voice anymore.

[woolldog]

98. I turn off the TV when she speaks.

It upsets me too much given the way she's conducted this campaign. It makes me sick and turned me off politics completely.

[Hepburn]

211. Yeah, I have taken to doing the same...

...I used to just mute it, but anymore, I turne it completely off. I cannot stand to see or hear her anymore...especially after how she endorsed John McCain. Unbelievable!

[johnnydrama]

41. houston vs el paso

isn't houston much bigger than el paso?

Early voting looks like 180k for houston, 49k for el paso.

[RiverStone]

42. What about the 62% margin that Hillary needed in both OH and TX???

That is, to have a viable chance of catching up in delegates.

Granted, tonight is not the blow out we'd hoped for...but Obama still prevented Hillary from getting any where near that 62% in TX.

He still may pull out a caucus win there!

The math favors Obama.

[goclark]

46. Praying

[adoraz]

50. yes, but now the problem is

that Hillary has an excuse to stay in. I wanted to see a win in Texas, just so it would be that much closer to ending. This is getting very frustrating. I don't know if he will beat McCain now.

[oviedodem]

61. Forget O vs McCain, McCain will win just because of this and the

fact that Clinton will find a way to get this and the republicans will laugh all the way to the bank.

[mucifer]

54. I don't know. It is a blow out in Ohio.

[RiverStone]

55. Shit -Hillary just bragged about winning FLA.

Yea right - fuck, this is gonna be nasty.

I'm going to have to streeeeeeetch my wallet and give Obama more $$$.

[Drunken Irishman]

45. El Paso starting to report, this will give us an idea of how much Obama needs to make up.

12% in and Clinton leads with 69% of the vote.

[thewiseguy]

66. Ok this is wanted to tell you...

El Paso just did not start coming in. Around 12% of their vote was already in. CNN is updating their map and assigning % to the early votes in each county.

Same deal with Harris county. They just assigned a % to that county eventhough the vote totals did not change.

This is going to get much closer than you think.

[MadBadger]

47. Down to 14,000

[Drunken Irishman]

58. Hopefully he begins surging.

[grantcart]

49. Obama is still +100 in delegates

[Robeson]

51. "The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph."

- Thomas Paine

[goclark]

57. Does he still have a chance

with the Math?
Can he stay in the race?

[Drunken Irishman]

62. Who, Thomas Paine? I'm guessing not, since he's dead.

[goclark]

70. No I talking about Obama

I'm afraid to watch TV

Will he still lead in Delegates?

[Drunken Irishman]

85. He'll lead by 100+ delegates.

[goclark]

199. Really? I thought

he ran such a brilliant campaign.

He didn't deserve to be treated with such slime.

[L0oniX]

282. and that means he is still the front runner. Geeze ...all the Hillarats act like she won the primary

[Robeson]

71. Who? Obama or Paine? Paine, not so much. Obama....

...has math on his side.

[goclark]

83. So he still has a chance

to be President?

[skooooo]

105. Of course he does, goclark!

This isn't even a setback. He's ahead in the delegate count, and in the end, that's what matters.

[goclark]

154. but down thread everyone

is so sad and I am too.

She will be so mean to him and do such dirty tricks.

I am trying not to cry but it is hard.

It is not right that she could run such a dirty campaign and be so evil.

It is not right.

One thing I want to say, I'm African American and I am so proud to know that so many people love him for the content of his character.

[skooooo]

163. You have to keep you eyes on what counts...

She didn't gain but maybe a little ground tonight. It's not much help to her. Keep your chin up! We don't even know the final counts yet.

[goclark]

196. You are such a good friend this evening

I thought the world was falling!

[Iconoclast Texan]

53. Shrillary won Florida and Michigan

I can't stand this shit anymore. Tonight has been horrible. God I am depressed.

[RiverStone]

68. Obama still has won 12 of the last 14!

A set back - but he will come back!!!!

We have to not give up in ANY WAY. Obama is still in the drivers seat.

[mmonk]

72. Florida will go Republican in November but we have a great shot

in Michigan in the general.

[UrbScotty]

89. We better, since Kerry won it (nt)

[CyberPieHole]

270. What does Barack Hussein Obama have to say about that?

[loveangelc]

56. How much has Harris county reported?

[Drunken Irishman]

60. 14%

[johnnydrama]

59. houston coming in

+9,000 with Houston, and the latest from Austin.

[Kaylee]

64. What site are you guys watching, because CNN still has him up.

[MadBadger]

67. CNN. When was the last time you updated? 2 hours ago?

[Kaylee]

82. Doh! I'm reading the numbers backwards....it's late...I going to bed.

[Drunken Irishman]

65. Every time Obama makes gains, Clinton surges.

He gets within 14,000, now it's back up to 20,000. He can't win at this pace.

[Colobo]

69. I'm noticing that.

[bdamomma]

77. is Obama going to say anything tonite.

Hillary is on now. Well I only hope Obama wins Texas tonite, then it will be 2 for 2. Obama is running a good campaign.

[NoBorders]

73. Clinton keeps up the negative crap in her speech

[oviedodem]

75. If it ain't broke don't fix it I guess.

[mmonk]

76. Yep. I was thinking to myself is she a republican or a democrat.

[bdamomma]

90. reflecting on the 3 a.m. phone call.

who is going to answer that phone at 3 a.m.??? nothing like sound bites.

yes we will????

[Colobo]

91. Obama will have to hit back hard if he wants to stop her.

[NoBorders]

136. Yep, they will need to be more aggressive

But they can't get into the gutter with her.

[Staples]

78. I'm from Ohio...sorry guys. God, I fucking hate Hillary.

I'm a huge fan of Ted Strickland, John Glenn, Lee Fisher, etc...tonight I am very pissed at them.

I have always hated Stephanie Tubbs Jones and today solidifies my hate.

Sorry for the negativity.

[Tatiana]

79. All right, it is time for a pep talk.

Did y'all think this would be easy????

This is EXACTLY what we need to set our priorities straight.

I still think Obama will win Texas.

And will come out with a net gain in the delegates tonight.

But that being said, did you really think the status quo was just going to go gently into the night, stepping aside so that we could all enjoy a government free of special interest and built upon the participation of the American people?

Hell no! The status quo threw the kitchen sink at us. And it is up to us to throw it back in their direction.

#1 - You need to donate $$$. Even if it's just $10.

#2 - You need to refute the kitchen sink smears/lies/distortions. If you don't know how, ask somebody.

#3 - If you are in a state that has an upcoming primary, volunteer to work for the campaign and sign up as a poll watcher per your elections regulations.

[MadBadger]

88. I'm workin on my own strategy for Obama piece. I'll put it up sometime tonight or tomorrow.

[goclark]

96. Exactly ~ I'm going to donate tonight and

get busy tomorrow doing volunteer calls at www.barackobama.com

When the going gets tough,the tough get going.

I'm headed over to the website right now to send him $$$

[budkin]

80. There's no way in hell Obama is losing Texas.

I just stood in line for 3 hours to caucus for him... and we absolutely dwarfed the Hillary people. This is in Austin FYI.

[PITBOS]

84. good news, but that is a BO area. Look at south Tx - HRC n/m

*

[Drunken Irishman]

81. Clinton keeps expanding her lead, even with Obama's strongholds coming in.

[npincus]

87. This BLOWS... it doesn't look good.

[oviedodem]

95. She got it and there is nothing we can do about it. Unfortunately

we will never see Obama run again. If Hillary wins the GE no Obama in 2012 and if it is McCain Obama has said many times that if his children were teenagers he would not run.

[my3boyz]

100. She got what? She does not have the overall delegate lead?

What are you talking about?

[oviedodem]

86. She copies O on the small donor plug, Shameless because this is the FIRST

[mucifer]

92. I don't want him to win by delegates and not by votes that's yucky.

[MadBadger]

94. At this point, I'll take whatever

[Drunken Irishman]

93. Clinton building a big lead now.

Obama is in big trouble at this rate, because I see no evidence he's going to be able to cut that lead down. If she gets it up to 50,000, it's over.

[babylonsister]

106. In TX? I don't believe it. Huh? nt

[Oilwellian]

97. Obama ahead in delegate count

And the rich city delegate numbers aren't totally in. :D

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pJ0M6W5tNQCPLz7oU3-llfg

[my3boyz]

99. Well, it looks like Obama is going to lose Texas. :( HOWEVER,

he closed the gap A LOT. So that is a good thing! :) It will also be good if he can win the caucuses but I'm not holding my breath. Anyway, I'm going to block out the MSM for a few days until they settle down with the Hillary love. Good thing I'm going out of town in two days so I can get my mind off of it. :) By the time I return they will be talking about the next primaries. Don't be too down Obama supporters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We knew that these were Hillary strongholds and he dipped into them a lot. The next states aren't so favorable to her. Plus Obama is still leading in pledged delegates. So stay positive! :)

[goclark]

Thanks for your upbeat message! Remember..YES WE CAN!

I just went over to www.barackobama.com and made a nice donation.

My mother always taught me,"put your money where your mouth is" and that gave me great pleasure.

Yes we can! Yes we can! Yes we can! :bounce:

[Drunken Irishman]

101. They may be calling Texas for Clinton soon.

[skooooo]

109. no way!

It's too close. What about the big cities and the caucus? he'll win the caucus and come out with a net delegate gain from TX at least.

[PITBOS]

102. does anyone have the total dem vote count for the entire

primary, all states to date?

[mucifer]

103. oy vey mccain I have this fear he will tap dance his way into the

white house while we tear each other to shreds. oh well.

[bdamomma]

112. no no we will tear him to shreds.

[Drunken Irishman]

104. With 50% in, Clinton now leads by 35,000 -- largest lead she's had tonight.

[npincus]

110. Harris County still 14%

am i kidding myself here?

[Kaylee]

114. The last hope.

[Drunken Irishman]

Yeah, sadly, you are.

Clinton's lead will be too big by the time they get to Harris County. Unless, somewhere, Obama cuts that lead back down to 20,000 or so -- but right now it looks like she'll be around 50-60,000 by the time they begin fully counting Harris County.

[PITBOS]

113. Harris still only 14% - and that 14% had 46k lead for BO*

*

[Drunken Irishman]

124. And by the time Harris County reports, Obama will be down 50,000+ votes.

Keeping that pace up will not do it for him.

[bdamomma]

107. Obama is up

Michelle looks very pretty tonite. Go Obama!!!!

[RiverStone]

108. Obama about to speak - MSNBC!

[Drunken Irishman]

111. Too depressed to hear him speak.

There is nothing to celebrate tonight.

[democrattotheend]

126. It's cheering me up a little

Put it on.

[democrattotheend]

127. It's cheering me up a little

Put it on.

[NJSecularist]

115. Dallas and Austin are coming in and he is not gaining

Hillary looks like she is going to win the state.

[Drunken Irishman]

118. Yeah, I said the same thing a bit ago...and El Paso still hasn't reported.

[MadBadger]

116. Obama's got class. He conceded in a OH and RI

[angie_love]

117. I feel like crying. I'm so upset.

[mmonk]

120. Hold your head up. A battle worth winning is at hand.

[goclark]

131. YES WE CAN!

[EFerrari]

121. Hang in. This is just one moment in a process. He'll be fine.

Hang in there.

[my3boyz]

123. Don't cry. He could have been 30% down. He did okay.

The next states should be strong for him. The only one that is pretty much a sure thing for Hillary is Pennsylvania.

[CyberPieHole]

269. LOL...thanks for the visual aid...

I'll sleep well with images of you blubbering the night away.:rofl:

[angie_love]

274. what are you 12? You're laughable.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[CyberPieHole]

281. OUCH!!!

What brilliance! And multiple "Rolly-Flos". You can type too. I'm impressed.:evilgrin:

[angie_love]

283. LOL

[Thepricebreaker]

119. Nothing has changed... Obama holds -20 less Delegats if Clinton runs the table..

[musicblind]

122. I am a Hillary supporter so I shouldn't be here

but I wanted to publicly thank Obama for being such a class act in the opening of his speech. That is one of many things he has going for him. Thank you.

[MadBadger]

128. Obama says..No, thank you.

I just wish Hillary would have done that for the past 12 primaries.

[mmonk]

144. Thanks musicblind. You're a class act.

When people attack me on these boards because I want change so bad, please tell them I'm OK. You are a credit here.

[MadBadger]

125. Shes up 47,000 now

:-(

[my3boyz]

130. What is the % difference? What about the caucus results?

[Drunken Irishman]

134. No one knows the caucus results, Obama down 2 percentage points.

[my3boyz]

140. If he is going to lose, I hope it stays in that range..less than 5%...nt

[my3boyz]

135. What about the caucus results? Also, I thought if the people

did not participate in both the votes don't count. How do they know that all the ones they are counting participated in the caucus? Is the caucus over?

[woolldog]

157. Hey does anyone know??

if every precinct in a county has the same rough number of votes?

[Drunken Irishman]

129. At this rate, Clinton is going to be up 70,000 when Harris County begins counting.

That will be too big of a hole for him to overcome.

[writes3000]

137. Your steady stream of downbeat comments are bringing me down, LOL.

If he's going to lose the popular vote, he will lose the popular vote. It will be a loss for him. And a loss based on negative campaigning. That sucks.

But I would still bet my last hundred bucks that the Clinton campaign WISHES they had Obama's delegate count and his money. I'll sleep okay tonight.

[Robeson]

150. What you said....

...it has always, and will be, about the delegate count. The chicken little routine by some is getting tiresome.

[Drunken Irishman]

151. I'm not saying he lost the nomination.

But this is not good. It keeps the race going, when it could've ended tonight and that means we'll see more slimeball attacks from Clinton. By the time Obama wins the nomination, he'll be so bloody, McCain will only have to breath on him and he'll fall over.

[woolldog]

171. Hey can you answer my question?

Does each precinct in each county have rougly the same number of votes???

[Robeson]

172. I think he'll do alright against McCain.....

...He's held his own against the best political machine - the Clintons - this party has put out since the sixties. In comparison, McCain makes Bob Dole look like Teddy Roosevelt.

[Drunken Irishman]

132. Clinton now has crossed 1 million voters, about to go up 50,000 on Obama.

[Sebass1271]

141. tonight i feel like for the first time i hate

HILLARY CLINTON..
someone that i have admired all my life.. Someone that i bought her book and read.. I hate her tonight. Please tell me this is not happening.

Why did she do this to us? Why did she said McCain was better than Obama. Why?:shrug:

[backscatter712]

152. She just gave this election to McCain in November.

She knows she cannot win in '08, so she wants a shot in '12. Best way to achieve that? Sabotage Obama.

The venom and bile and viciousness will continue for months, probably all the way to the convention, and Obama will get the nomination, but he'll be damaged goods.

And the people that once flocked here with hope and new blood will be disgusted, disillusioned and demoralized. They'll take their ball and go home.

McCain will win in November. And we'll get four more years of war in the Middle East, four more years of an eroding middle class, four more years of lunatics being appointed to the Supreme Court, four more years of a health care system that leaves us for dead, four more years of Bushie hell.

All so Hillary can run in '12. Thousands will die and suffer so she gets her shot.

[bdamomma]

133. Oh whew Obama

giving his best as always. He is good. I don't think its over yet, keep your heads up.

[PITBOS]

138. anyone have the total vote count for all states to date?

this will be a big factor

[Drunken Irishman]

139. This is depressing. He goes from 16,000 down not even an hour ago, to 50,000 down now.

[NoBorders]

143. Hang in there

From CNN's analysis it sounds like it won't continue in that direction all night.

[thewiseguy]

142. I dont understand where Hillary's votes in Texas are coming from?

Which counties are updating their results?

[oviedodem]

145. Can you say republicans

[PITBOS]

175. .

.

[MadBadger]

147. In Counties that Obama leads, like Tarrant, his lead is continually closing

early voters went to Obama, but she won big today.

[Drunken Irishman]

149. She must have crushed him today.

Because I do think Obama had a double digit lead in early voting.

[Sebass1271]

148. i know where from.. Limbaugh and hannity told republicans

to vote for her tonight. I heard them both on the radio.. callers where coming in asking them for whom they should vote against.. they both said, to vote for hillary cause they wanted her to win.

bastards...

[oviedodem]

153. this is what negative campaigning does; notice how he did not slam Hillary

[Sebass1271]

155. negative campainging works folks..

he needs to hit her hard.. nail her down..
i am so upset...

[onefreespiritedchick]

176. I am devastated :(

[woolldog]

181. Hidalgo and El Paso mainly.

The thing is Harris county is a lot bigger than both of those.

146. Clinton's lead up to about 52,000 now.

[Blue_Roses]

156. This is a GREAT interactive that gives the % breakdown of counties...big ones

not even in yet! Not to mention caucuses!

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/county/#TXDEMMAPprimary

[Drunken Irishman]

158. The problem is, Obama will be down 60,000-70,000 votes by the time they report.

And he won't make that up, even if he wins big. He'll probably cut it down to 20,000-30,000 votes, but this is a huge lead for Clinton at the moment.

[Blue_Roses]

160. well we still have the caucuses

have faith!

[Colobo]

168. WTF has happened with the caucuses?

[Oilwellian]

178. Excuse me, but...

Hillary could win the popular vote in TX but Obama could gain delegates over her. You fail to mention that in all of your up to the minute posts. :evilgrin:

[woolldog]

183. Harris county is big! As in maybe a million votes.

A 50,000 vote lead can be overcome even with a slim margin of victory.

[Blue_Roses]

159. harris, denton and tarrant

not near finished

[budkin]

165. Great link, thanks!

[Hamlette]

161. Where the hell is Houston????

I'm unnerved.

[Drunken Irishman]

162. Texas. ;)

[Blue_Roses]

164. harris county

[Hamlette]

170. I meant, where are the votes? Why don't we have them in yet?

(I know which county it is in.)

[Drunken Irishman]

166. Lead back up to 55,000, nearing 60% counted.

[MadBadger]

167. Expect Ohio to close even more

Cuyahoga County originally was going for Hillary. That must have been the areas surrounding Cleveland. Now though Obama is up there with 24% reporting. Hopefully he can close that 14 point lead there even more

[Drunken Irishman]

169. Clint up 3 points now.

[VolcanoJen]

173. Your Gal in Ohio is still Fired Up!

We're still winning in Cincinnati... crushing, to be honest. That's where I was. I remain a true believer that Math Actually Does Count, no matter what Mark Penn says.

"We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can withstand the power of millions of voices calling for change.

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics who will only grow louder and more dissonant in the weeks to come. We’ve been asked to pause for a reality check. We’ve been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. For when we have faced down impossible odds; when we’ve been told that we’re not ready, or that we shouldn’t try, or that we can’t, generations of Americans have responded with a simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people.

Yes we can."

- Barack Obama, New Hampshire Concession Speech, January 2008

[JimGinPA]

174. Everyone Needs To Relax A Little & Look At The Big Picture

He hasn't lost any delegates today. He is going to win two primaries next week. The super delegates are going to be moving to him in rapid succession in the next couple of weeks. And maybe my vote here in Pennsylvania will be the one the crushes Hillary for good.

CHEER UP! WE WILL STILL WIN THIS!

:D

[Drunken Irishman]

177. Clinton up by 60,000 now.

[Colobo]

180. Please relax, Drunken. Obama will be fine.

[MadBadger]

Says the person who conceded the election in NH

[Colobo]

186. I learned my lesson then.

[PITBOS]

179. good info on total vote for all states...

This will weigh heavy with the SDs. w/o Fla and Mi BO looks good.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/democratic_vote_count.html

[grantcart]

182. he is still likely to have a net + in delegates for the day, and she had to catch up on him

[MadBadger]

187. I dont think so

I think she gains like ten delegates

Rhode Island was pretty surprising, and she still will net some delegates in Ohio. she still will probably lose Texas (delegates), but well see

[JimGinPA]

209. Chuck Todd Says He'll Actually Get More Delegates Today

:D

[Robeson]

189. Thanks grantcart. I expected him to go 1-3 today....

...a 2-2 split would have been a victory. It's the DELEGATES that matter.

[Kaylee]

184. False alarm.

[budkin]

191. No they didn't.

I'm watching David Axelrod on MSNBC now. He didn't say that.

[Kaylee]

194. I saw the misleading Breaking News thread. Sorry about that.

[Drunken Irishman]

185. Clinton pushing 65,000 votes.

[MadBadger]

188. Now hes down 54,000 and its back to two points

[Hamlette]

190. but if Houston holds, it will be very close

Houston with 33% reporting has O 150,000 C 100,000

[Drunken Irishman]

193. I needs a bigger margin to offset El Paso.

[PITBOS]

195. .....and Webb*

[Kaylee]

203. Those border districts are scaring me....

[grantcart]

192. starting to come in faster now - down to 55,000

[UndertheOcean]

198. this is so fucking frustrating

[grantcart]

197. 53,000 now

[thewiseguy]

200. Her lead should start decreasing now

Most of those rural counties have reported in.

[UndertheOcean]

I will be happy with a tie right now

:(

[Drunken Irishman]

201. El Paso, has not, however, and her lead may be too big for him to overcome.

[MadBadger]

202. Hidalgo, El Paso, and Bexar are still out. Those are the more populous counties she leads in.

[UndertheOcean]

204. Its over then....

This always happens with the candidates I support , for some weird reason tonight feels like the 2004 GE

[GoldieAZ49]

207. people in TX are still waiting in line to caucus

it will be a long night in the lone star state

and the caucus' will favor Obama

[Colobo]

217. They are still caucusing? That's crazy.

[DLnyc]

205. I get 52,366

But who's counting?

[wildflowergardener]

206. Caucuses

Any idea when we might start hearing some of the results from the Caucuses in TX?

Meg

[UndertheOcean]

208. no clue

[GoldieAZ49]

214. Caucus results coming in

O 3737
H 2906

5% in

[budkin]

210. Chuck Todd said that we might not know the results of the caucuses for week

But that Obama still owns the delegate count.... WOOT!

[stop the bleeding]

215. yep smoke 'em if you got 'em

:beer:

[johnnydrama]

212. 5% caucus in

56-44 Obama so far.

[Sebass1271]

213. where are you seeing this?

[johnnydrama]

216. here

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/state/#TX

[GoldieAZ49]

218. Fox News showing them seperate

ppl are still waiting outside to caucus

[Sebass1271]

219. Am I wrong? I really HATE hillary tonight..

I want Obama to go hard on her.. I want him to throw her two freaking kitchen sinks..

[angie_love]

222. no you are not wrong. I've been hating her for hte last 3 days. Shes scary.

And Obama will go tough on her from now on. He learned his mistake. Its wartime now.

[Sebass1271]

227. I hope someone calls him or his campaign and tell him to

do so.. otherwise.. he will be finished..

[MadBadger]

224. He should throw the Jacuzzi from one of his latte liberal, prius driving supporter's mansion

[thewiseguy]

220. You will not see me getting excited about caucuses

Hell I will wait everything is counted before I party. I am in such a terrible mood right now.


Got excited over nothing for the Texas primary.

[DLnyc]

221. 52,165 nt

[grantcart]

223. i wonder how much Obama will raise tomorrow?

[budkin]

225. They just said that Obama called Clinton

Wonder what that was about?

[Robeson]

226. I would imagine to give her congrats on her wins....

...that's usually the norm.

[Drunken Irishman]

228. Looks about over now. 50% of Harris in, Dallas almost all in and El Paso still out.

And Obama is still down big.

[MadBadger]

230. He didnt do well in enough in Harris. Originally he was up 61-38 with the early vote

Now hes down to 58%. Exit polls had him at 56% in Harris County.

[grantcart]

229. delegates for the night are going to be a wash

[grantcart]

231. Obama just picked up another SD lol thats 3 for today

[Drunken Irishman]

232. Who?

[grantcart]

236. this is the third one - did you already see the other 2?

Today, Texas Democratic Party Vice Chair and Superdelegate Roy Laverne Brooks endorsed Barack Obama. Her statement is below.

[MadBadger]

233. Back up to a 3 point lead and a 61,000 vote lead.

[K Gardner]

234. I hate Hillary Clinton. I detest her supporters. Yes, I'm using a broad brush, I don't care. The

hypocrisy and fear and dirty tricks and character assassination are all too reminiscent of George W Bush. And that's exactly what we'll get if she continues. I guess I'm one of the holdouts from the horror of 2000/2004 who just wasn't ready for this again. Maybe there are more like me, who are so fucking sick of this dirt and slime they can't stand to see it "winning", not even one state. Can't stand to turn on the TV and see the manipulation and the deceit and the lying. Since when do you do what she's done and get praised and rewarded for it? And we wonder why our society is corrupt.

Maybe me and those like me will hole up again, hide our heads in the sand and just peek out every now and then. The Politics of Hillary fucking Clinton are not for the tender hearted. And the followers of hers who inhabit this board are just about some of the nastiest and ugliest I've ever run across. I wish all of you luck here. For now, its back to life before Barack for me.

[MadBadger]

237. Now wait just a minute

Has Hillary won the Nomination yet? "Life before Barack?" He can still win this thing. Dont go anywhere.

[K Gardner]

243. I just have to get away from DU and the MSM for awhile. I'll still be phone banking and

donating and such. But I need to get away from the intensity of it for awhile. It hurts and the "bubble" here is just a little too much to bear. I'll check back in after I've had a mental health break :-)

oh god, Texas. shit.

[MadBadger]

246. how bout we get a bunch of Obama DUers together and try to congregate in the Obama group

Cuz this thread has softened the blow. I stayed here, didnt have to listen to any annoying Hillary people and their douchbagery. Instead, it was sadd to see the results, but i didnt get angry cuz I didnt have to deal with idiots like herman munster jlake, or Mypetrock.

[DLnyc]

242. Good post!

Painful but true.

It hurts to care. But you only find that out after you care.

Peace.

[xmas74]

286. So you agree

You detest me, even though you don't know me? (I am a HRC supporter and I don't try to say anything mean about anyone here.) I don't detest you. We just see things differently is all.

I have always been a volunteer for my local Dem party. I volunteered in '92 and '96. In 2000 I worked my local headquarters with a 4 month old attached to my hip. In 2004 I gave my daughter crayons and paper to draw on while I worked the phone banks and helped with data entry. I dragged her around neighborhoods in her little red wagon while I canvassed. And I was on call all day long on election day, driving those needing rides to the polls.

Comments like this are not the way to retain longtime volunteers for the GE. Ya'll hate me, ya'll detest me so why would I want to put my butt out there and volunteer for my party? Ya'll have made it clear that ya'll don't want me around.

[DLnyc]

287. Yes, I know how you feel.

I guess that's what happens when campaigns turn too negative: lots of people get turned off to the whole damn thing.

I don't detest anyone. I sympathize with how you feel and with how the poster I was responding to feels. When you really care about something and it seems like it gets walked all over, you don't feel like caring anymore.

I walked around, called, organized, argued '92, '96, 2000, 2004, 2006 months on end just like you did. Sometimes when it seems like all that work is in vain, like the race just goes to whoever can play the meanest game, I start feeling like it's not worth the trouble.

Anyway, it was an Obama thread, I couldn't follow anything because on my dial-up a 300 post thread is pretty impossible, and I was in a pretty sour mood. Sorry if I stepped on your toes. I wasn't so much agreeing with the details of what he (or she?) said as sympathizing with the feeling.

[xmas74]

288. DU has turned into a place where most

HRC supporters are viewed as poor white trash. Jokes have been made on here about white sheets and trailers. (Don't get me started on comments about trailer trash. That's a typical classist comment which brings me out of the woodwork and into fighting mode every single time.)

It's just become too much here. I swear that I'm dealing with a group of high schoolers on a daily basis, most of them forgetting that the "feet on the ground" volunteers in the fall will be from the group that they've done their damnedest to run off.

[CyberPieHole]

271. LOL..."HOPE AND UNITY" in all it's glory...

:rofl:

[xmas74]

285. I don't hate you. I don't detest you.

I'm one of her supporters and I don't hate anyone. I'm more of a "agree to disagree" kind of person.

We each support different candidates for different reasons. There is nothing wrong with that. Last time I checked it was still legal to do so.

I think that we can all be civil and support the person we choose to support, without hating on each other. (Oh, and without being called racist. I was called a racist the other day IRL by a young man just because I have a HRC bumpersticker on my car. He screamed at me and at my young daughter, stating that people like myself deserve to be "lynched". I was polite and didn't comment on his tee shirt-a black shirt with white print stating "I support single mothers" with the silhouette of a woman dancing on a stripper pole-because that would be wrong.)

Anyway, you can hate me but I won't hate you back. I'll still love you as a member of the human race and will adore you for being the liberal that you are. I also hope that things get better for you soon and that happy days are in your future.

[MadBadger]

238. Whats in like in GD-P right now and so far tonight?

I've stayed in these threads to avoid getting upset and angry as I know I would in "the General Population"

[Hepburn]

241. The Hillhounds are all over ....most are being snarky....

...the usual suspects.

[Drunken Irishman]

245. heh, me too. I haven't ventured out of the Obama threads all night.

And I won't be reading GD:P for a few days.

[MadBadger]

247. I just mentioned this to K Garnder,I think we should congregate as much as we can in the Obama group

It will be a lot like this and a lot less stressful

[oviedodem]

239. Called for Hillary in TX

[budkin]

240. She just won Texas.

Ugh. At least Obama will win the caucuses.

[oviedodem]

244. I don't care if she wins anymore. Based on her continuing crap

I will not in any way shape or form be voting for her if she is the nominee.

[MadBadger]

248. In a snarkless way, can somebody describe for me what Hillary said in her speech.

[backscatter712]

251. I turned it off.

I can't stand to hear that harpy's voice anymore.

Maybe when she finally gets driven out of the race, she can have a new career as a fishwife.

[Drunken Irishman]

260. How can anyone talk about Clinton in a snarkless way?

[grantcart]

264. she was better than average kept it short looked like a winner would have

been fine if Obama didn't follow her and look not only like a president but a world leader.

She had her little anecdotes about the mother, daughter etc but the key was she made it clear that she was going on and tried to sound like she was ahead again. I am sure that her followers thought it was a moving and inspriing speech. Those that don't like her didn't see anything that would cause vomitting and those in the middle (who can be in the middle at this time) probably thought it was one of her better speeches. She had a couple of quotable lines in there that got big cheers and will probably be featured in upcoming ads - also there was the pitch for more money (i am sitll wondering if that isn't what this is all about - raising money for a future war chest?)

[grantcart]

249. Obama is going to win the delegate count 98 - 95 i current trends

continue could be higher

[MadBadger]

250. Who said that?

[grantcart]

259. I posted it - it is based on Obama getting 55% of the caucus

[Emillereid]

252. Donate NOW! I just gave another hundred bucks and am feelin' fine!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

253. So what's the deal - the numbers people - said he had more

than enough out in Houston and Dallas to cover her lead. They had me all excited. Can't help but think this has a hell of a lot to do with Rush telling the repukes to go out and
vote for her. stinks.

[johnnydrama]

262. i think what happened

Is that the Obama people went out early and voted in big numbers. So there weren't the 25% margins left to vote today.

He still won the 3 big counties by 20%, but the numbers today, especially in Houston were closer.

[thewiseguy]

254. Ohio is going to get closer

I think results for almost all counties are in except for Cleveland and Obama is up there with 33% of the vote in.

[my3boyz]

255. What is the % difference in Ohio now? nt

[John Q. Citizen]

257. 12%

[bigbrother05]

256. Just got back from the rally in San Antonio

Good crowd, lots of talk of Hillary's prescient managers manipulating, the caucus vote, police were called Judges, and lawyers, so it is on record.
People said they didn't want the Super delegates to decide the nominee
I said I don't want her to have it by cheating.
But overall it was good
Remember this is by no means over,

[bigbrother05]

258. Why do I always shut down threads

It was good, there was a different tone in the speech tonight.
This isn't over

[Drunken Irishman]

261. People are depressed and probably went to bed.

:(

[bigbrother05]

263. Thanks, but we got to stay focused

I'm not going to get into a pissing match, with the rest of the board
And thanks for all of your work

[FedoraLV]

266. We Need to Keep Our Heads and a Sense of Perspective

Which candidate planned for the long run and a tough race within their own party (and after)?

Which candidate has a ground game - right now - in upcoming states?

Which candidate leads in delegates?

Which candidate will get a large bump in SD's?

Which candidate leads in fund raising?

Which candidate's site lets you phone bank from home?

(Which candidate needs more servers since this system was overwhelmed at points over this past weekend?)

Which campaign's store has been flat sold out three weeks running?

Which candidate leaps double-digit gaps that would doom most others in an ordinary race?

Which candidate taught a class on the history of every nasty trick used to suppress the vote of 'unwanted' voter bloc (minorities, women, the poor, those going up against political machines) -- for the last hundred years?

Which candidate knows our electoral system and its laws inside and out?

Which candidate represents the breed of politics you'd like to perpetuate -- and see as our dominant model for the next 60 years?

Chin up -- tomorrow is a new day.

-FedoraLV

[Capn Sunshine]

267. Nice perspective

Yeah, Hillary is still around; and despite being mathematically eliminated tonight ( she can't catch us in delegates if things stay as they are) She's going to try to steal it at the convention , scandalizing the party yet again

[woolldog]

265. I couldn't understand your first post.

Didn't make sense to me. That may be why you shut down the thread...

[Drunken Irishman]

268. So Obama won early voting, but barely.

By only 3 points. It looks like the negative news really did have an impact on this race. I hope Hillary feels good about herself, scaring people into voting for her.

Pathetic.

[CyberPieHole]

272. I'm so PROUD of Hillary, she got her point across and Obama's JoeMentum is in the pisser...

where it belongs. And now the MSM is looking at Rezko and checking into Barack and Michelle (and her lack of PRIDE for America)...the timing couldn't be better. For Hillary Clinton.:hi:

[angie_love]

273. you're such an ungraceful winner.

You are very unclassy. Hillary is a traitor who is going down.

[my3boyz]

275. kick...for Obama supporters

[CyberPieHole]

280. You call Hillary Clinton a 'TRAITOR WHO IS GOING DOWN" and I'm "unclassy"???

You're something to make the corn grow. And that's on a GOOD day.:hi:

[angie_love]

284. LOL

[MadBadger]

276. You would have Piehole in your name n/t

[my3boyz]

277. So what are they saying her net gain

was last night? Trying to figure out how many of the delegates she took from him. Not going to watch MSM until they finish with the Hillary comeback stories. LOL I have less than 2 days before I leave on a trip so not much longer. Unfortunately, I will be visiting the state she represents (gag!). I'm sure I will be too busy with the activity and the yummy food to notice though. LOL

[MadBadger]

278. Texas Caucus results havent finished come back yet

If I had to guess based on my own projections...I'd say she gains ten delegates.

[my3boyz]

279. So that is total including all 3 states? nt
