kapkomet Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 5, 2008 -> 11:00 AM) The good news out of this is that at least whatever Dem gets the nomination in the fall is going to have campaigned in all 50 states in the primary season, so the Dem candidate is going to have a built in backlog of people at least knowing who they are. The bad news is that this sh*t just keeps on coming. God damnit Texas, you bastards... The path for Hillary is now open. She doesn't have to go to the convention with a pledged delegate lead if she can give the impression of momentum by creating her own winning streak through March/April. Bingo. The door is WIDE open, and as a matter of fact, I would say the door is closing on Obama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 (edited) LMFAO!!!!! Reading this thread from beginning to end knowing what the results were was just f***ing hilarious. The Bike Obama supporters were so (did I say Bike? Fruedian slip.) f***ing cocky waiting for the big cities in Texas to report, and what happened? A wave of votes for Billary came in and she won by damn near 100K votes. Then the Obamaites started grasping at any straw they could so they could still feel good about things. Spin city here! And you guys talk about Fox News. LOL ... Billary is gonna get the nomination. She'll probably pick Obama as VP but it won't be enough. Too many Obama people will just be disgusted at the net result and just not vote in the general. Gotta love this. It's just too good.

I believe it all comes down to superdelegates. Also, Dean best hold to his promise about not seating Michigan and Florida (especially Michigan) unless he wants all s*** to break loose.

If it happens, that would mean the party leadership is currently lying to our faces right now. Plus, you include the fact that Obama wasn't even on the ballot in Michigan. If the Republicans were able to somehow pull that sort of stunt (hypothetically of course), the Dems would be ruthlessly attacking them for doing so. There's not a good reason to seat the delegates.

Rex Kickass Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 The total gain for Hillary was 12 delegates. And it was a split victory in TX. Hillary took the primary, Obama took the caucus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskyCaucasian Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 E-Mail from the Obama Campaign... Jason -- Our projections show the most likely outcome of yesterday's elections will be that Hillary Clinton gained 187 delegates, and we gained 183. That's a net gain of 4 delegates out of more than 370 delegates available from all the states that voted. For comparison, that's less than half our net gain of 9 delegates from the District of Columbia alone. It's also less than our net gain of 8 from Nebraska, or 12 from Washington State. And it's considerably less than our net gain of 33 delegates from Georgia. The task for the Clinton campaign yesterday was clear. In order to have a plausible path to the nomination, they needed to score huge delegate victories and cut into our lead. They failed. It's clear, though, that Senator Clinton wants to continue an increasingly desperate, increasingly negative -- and increasingly expensive -- campaign to tear us down. That's her decision. But it's not stopping John McCain, who clinched the Republican nomination last night, from going on the offensive. He's already made news attacking Barack, and that will only become more frequent in the coming days. Right now, it's essential for every single supporter of Barack Obama to step up and help fight this two-front battle. In the face of attacks from Hillary Clinton and John McCain, we need to be ready to take them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Just want to know, why some people think Hilary will get the nomination if it goes to the convention in Denver, and if she's behind in delegates? Is it because of the super delegates, who will be yet to decide (and Clinton will do anything she can to get them on board)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdelegates, and the fact that the Clintons will do ANYTHING to get her the nomination, including lie, cheat, and steal. They've already started down that road, in fact. Of course, if Hillary gets the nomination via at the convention, she will get destroyed in November, but she is too ignorant to realize it.
