SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Barack Obama says even if rival Hillary Rodham Clinton has had a good night, he's on his way to winning the Democratic presidential nomination.

Clinton broke Obama's winning streak Tuesday. But he says he still leads in the count of delegates who will decide the nomination.

Speaking to supporters in front of the San Antonio Municipal Auditorium, Obama said, "We can stand up with confidence and clarity.

He said, "We are on our way to winning this nomination

1. He's likely to come out ahead again tonight in delegates.

:shrug:
No way she can catch him.

4. Wrong

This is just getting started..people are not countin Florida and Michigan being counted...Florida is going to do another election our Governor said it was going to happen.

7. Is Crist planning on paying for the new primary?

I haven't seen an answer yet either way. Primaries aren't cheap.

[RummyTheDummy]

Your govenor doesn;t have the power to make that happen

14. Do your math.. He would STILL be ahead.

3. If he gets caught in any more lies his support could completely collapse

[tabatha]

6. He has not been caught in any lies.

8. the voice of objectivity

:sarcasm:

5. That is essentially what Chuck Todd just reported on MSNBC.

Plus, this isn't even taking into account the caucus numbers where Obama should pick up delegates. I don't even know how many Obama will pick up.

9. Gobama!

to Hillary

BWAAAaaaaaaa:7

12. Even MORE bad news, KIDS. . .

Even if Obama gets the so-called nomination, Hillary supporters don't have to vote for him in
the GE. He can therefore LOSE the electoral college vote and thereby the presidency.

This isn't a shoe-in; right up to the election, disaffected dems can defect away from Obama.

:yoiks:

I don't think that Fat Lady will begin singing until the convention, and even then, multitudes
of concessions will have to be made. . .

15. "So-called nomination?" Hilarious...

No, no one has to vote for anyone. A truism. I expect that whoever wins - and I would be extremely shocked if it is Clinton - will work hard to unite a coalition for victory.

16. If that happens, Hillary supporters are fuckwits who clearly deserve President McCain.

And any Hillary supporters who aren't going to vote AGAINST a Republican with 3 Supreme Court appointments on the line can go fuck themselves with something sharp and rusty.

13. well, thats the truth
