StrangeSox Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 6, 2008 -> 10:04 PM) You don't actually believe that, do you? Because that was Obama's second book in any case. Dude, Edwards invented the idea of books and health care reform. Obama and Clinton just stole it from him!

HuskyCaucasian Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 QUOTE(iamshack @ Feb 6, 2008 -> 11:00 PM) Not sure if this has been posted, but the Clinton's loaned Hillary's campaign $5 million today. Quick question: It says she LOANED her campaign the money. How does that compare to Mitt Romney? I though he just gave his campaign money. Hillary is loaning her money? Not ballsy enough to actually play with her real money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The government of Kazakhstan wants interest on their money. They don't just give it away. /snark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 Quick update. With things pretty much settled in terms of delegates, RealPolitics has the current standings in PLEDGED delegates as of today as: Obama: 851 Clinton: 845 All the supers are able to do what they want later, so, their count doesn't mean a ton right now. But the supers are currently, by RP's count: Clinton: 211 Obama: 128 Which puts the total, including those flexible supers, at: Clinton: 1056 Obama: 979 Very close race indeed. No polls out yet in the upcoming Feb primaries the next couple week. There will be tomorrow I'd bet, for the 2/10 states. But early indications are that the rest of Feb favors Obama, and then there is the money situation. Plus Edwards, Gore and Richardson still out there having not yet endorsed anyone. This thing is far from over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 SurveyUSA publishes a poll for Washington, the biggest prize of the Feb 9-10 primary weekend (97 delegates for the Dems at stake in WA, 40 for the GOP). But, strangely enough, Washington is apparently doing a caucus on the 9th, then a primary on the 19th. I have no idea what that does for delegates... I assume the primary is the binding one, so... the caucus is just a preview? Weird. Anyway, poll results... DEMOCRATS... Obama: 53% Clinton: 40% REPUBLICANS... McCain: 40% Romney: 26% Huckabee: 17% Paul: 9% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Blow me up if this is a really stupid question but could Al Gore want to be a VP with Obama because he really thinks there is an opportunity to have a say in politics and worldwide without having to run for president? Hence holding off on an endorsement until he sees the gravatational draw of the Obama candidacy....... I am pretty ignorant to politics compared to those in this forum BTW.

That's not an ignorant thought at all. My guess is he wants to be part of an administration, but continue his work - so he likely wouldn't be a VP. Some sort of non-cabinet post, SubSecEnvironment or something that they'd make up. That's just my guess, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gore oh I just wet myself. lol Seriously, Gore knows the Clintons as well as anyone having worked with them for 8+ years. He knows their slimmyness and problems. I know some would rather see him work around the world, but I would LOVE to see him as Secretary of Energy. He's be the "Anti-Cheney". While Cheney and his chronies pushed pro-oil, Gore would push pro-alternative energy. Not to mention his "street cred" with the youth of America and environmentally conscious people.

That's just my guess, though. At least based on his other recent behaviour, my guess is the opposite...that Al has realized there's some value to not being a figure in this campaign, to just sort of being this god-like figure outside of politics that everyone has to pay some level of attention to. Even half the Republicans started saying anthropogenic climate change is real, and he's been a big part of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskyCaucasian Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Rasmussen Reports: Obama and Clintons tied at 44% Interesting Point: I have long said, "If you aren't for Hillary, you are against her". Well, look at the stats. She has been consistently 35-45%. However, Obama has been in the mid to high 20s. Over the past 2 months, Obama has been pulling MANY of the undecideds and other candidates. He has jumped to 44%. Where is Hillary? Still where she was 3 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
