Re: Election at this point

he still has to beat McCain...

Re: Election at this point

mccain will be beat

now the question is, who will beat obama to beating mccain

i suspect a bush and mccain tag team, but well who knows,

Re: Election at this point

Obama is nowhere near winning the Presidential election.  He still had a divided party, one that grows the more Clinton continues.  He still has to win over blue-collar workers, which McCain will gladly take (as he associates with him far better than Obama can).  Obama must ALSO win the Hispanic vote.  I've heard  time and time again from Hispanics that if Clinton did not win the nomination, they will most likely vote for McCain because of his former stance on immigration.  Let's face it.  The die-hard Obama supporters are the ones that are blind to the politics and to the diversity of America.  This election is putting race and age right in the middle of it all and many will vote for Obama just because he's black.

Re: Election at this point

@ Gladiator.

Look up the 1980 Democrat Primary.

Never say never when you are talking about a Dem candidate named "Clinton"

This is the same group that when Pres. Bush on inauguration day, Clinton had a Press conferance at the airport to say goodbye.


She is taking the fight to the convention....and it will be ugly.
If she really cared about her party, she would have dropped out a long time ago.

Democrats are EVIL politicals.  They have no morals.

Re: Election at this point

BW, obama has forgotten about clinton, mccain has forgoten about her, the math is done with her, the media is done with her, bill is done with her tongue

there is NOOO BLOODY chance in HELL that clinton will win this, i'm ready to bet my soul big_smile

no bloody chance, NONE!!

i excpect obama as the winner by the end of may/early june

if on may 31st they do decide to count florida and michigan, excpect an even faster move towards obama from the superdelegates

and supall .."and many will vote for Obama just because he's black" -- do you mean many won't vote for him cuz he's black? but if you did mean that, then there is a great # of people who would rather die than see a black man in office, it's the sad truth, but nothing can be done about that


and BW you could not imagine the pressure she's receiving right now to drop out, i give her credit for staying in this far, i do really blame it on her campaign, but more so for her lying, if she had run it like obama, i would prlly be with her as well ..---i honestly think with her attitude lately, especially the day when she gave an interview to all the media, and then obama blew it away with the edward endorsement, which i believe will really put the unions and blue collar workers behind obama, that attitude of clinton told the whole story, she's done with the race, she knows herself she can't do much about it now

No, I meant what I said.  Ever wonder why Obama took up so many of the black voters in the Southern states?  It's because he's black.  Quit living under that rock of yours and open your eyes.  America is polarized by race and age in this election and the only ones who actually have brains in this election are the Asians.

Its not over.


Gladiator;

After two votes, delegates assigned can then change their votes.
As long as Obama does not have a majority to clinch the nomination, its not over.

The longer the fight continues, the better the chances McCain wins in November.

If this battle goes to the convention, it will be ugly.  Mud will be very thick and full of filth.

Re: Election at this point

BW

no matter what you say, to come out of a shady southside chicago corner, unknown, and run and beat THE MOST globaly known political name and that political killing machine the clintons,

for him to even be where he is, tells you he's got something A LOT of other people don't

clinton did not have even one major catastrophe

obama had tons, wright, bitter comments, bad debating, lapel pin thing, his wife's comments

he had tons more of those, and he's still standing, a nobody senator, with not much experience, not well known, not an insider, no big contacts, and he's still standing

clinton will not take this to the convention, superdelegates will simply not let that happen, w.va was always a clinton state, it will remain a clinton state until clinton is in the race, white rich snobby people for lack of a better definition, heck obama knew he wasn't guna win there, he didn't even touch that state, rather he went for states that matter in the general election, he started his fall campaign the day she won w.va
and yeah she'll win kentucky, but that still won't matter

she only got a net gain of 10 delegates out of w.va -- obama most likely got 19 out of edwards, she has no chance of wining this, absolutely none
if she wins dems will know they just cost themselves the election, for someone to come and over turn, popular vote, more delegates, more states and make clinton win, wouild make a lot of people very very angry




@supall
more people don't vote for him cuz he's black than people who do cuz he's black

Re: Election at this point

"@supall
more people don't vote for him cuz he's black than people who do cuz he's black"

I highly doubt that.


And Gladiator, we already know Clinton ISN'T going to win.  We ALL know that.  You're making an irrelevant point.  Clinton is going to let the rest of the states get their say, though.  So until Clinton officially drops out of the, Obama will have a hard time gathering the Democrats behind him.

Re: Election at this point

> Gladiator wrote:

Glad, it doesn't matter HOW MANY people vote for him based on race.  What matters is where they are.

If your concentration of people who would vote for Obama because he's African American is comprised in solid Democrat states anyway, it doesn't really matter because the dems would win those states anyway.  Now, the racist redneck vote, interestingly enough, would be in Southern states, all of which are hotly contested.

Overall, yeah, the pro-African American vote would probably be larger than the anti-African American vote.  The question is, though, where are each of the voting blocks coming from?

Re: Election at this point

supall i was simply responding to what BW had raised, saying clinton still has a chance..whihc she doesn't
and as far as i'm concerned, the race is over, the fall election has begun...did you see clinton in the media anywhere?
that's old news now..yes on certain tuesdays there might be a little talk, but obama has officially begun his fall campaign, and mccain and obama have already started ripping each others heads off

georgia is a good example for that zarf, correct me if i'm wrong but that's been a repub state?? i forget if it was georgia, or not, i'll look into it later

obama has a good coalition of people
african-american
college graduates
college students
middle-class people
women (he won women in a lot of states, and he won them over a woman..*shocker*)
blue collar workers ( i think after the edward endorsement, adn soon to be clinton endorsement, i think he will get a good enough portion of them)
unions

preety good for an unkown senator

Agreed, it is pretty damn impressive.

Georgia is in that hotly contested South I was mentioning.  It's a swing state, so it's a big win for Obama.

But then again, so are Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi... hell, the entire southeast US aside from Florida, really.

But there's also big African American populations in those states, so it may end up balancing out, which is nice because then we can focus on pure issues, rather than go into these stupid race races.

"Republican Solutions and a Positive Agenda
Posted By: Tom Cole, May 16, 2008 - 9:52 AM
Families today face challenges that yesterday's laws simply don't address. We need to fix government, and one solution is to update our laws so they provide America's families with more freedom in their jobs; greater healthcare and retirement security; safer communities; access to quality, affordable education; and the ability for future generations to compete in the global economy.

This week, my colleagues in the Republican Conference announced the American Families Agenda, spearheaded by my colleague, Congresswoman Kay Granger of Texas. This new agenda concentrates on the bread and butter issues facing every American. And it recognizes that today, more and more families struggle with balancing work, children and caring for elderly parents. Over the coming weeks, Republicans will be promoting new ideas that give people more personal freedom and lessen the burden of government.

From young people just starting out and looking for affordable college, to working parents who want more freedom in the workplace, to seniors who would benefit from greater flexibility with their health care and prescription drug benefits, the American Families Agenda provides commonsense solutions that modernize our laws and give people greater liberty.

I look forward to sharing more about Republican solutions and a positive agenda in the weeks to come."

Re: Election at this point

wasnt it obvious that neither would have enough delegates to clinch the nomination before the convention like 5 months ago?

Re: Election at this point

not really, clinton could have easily dropped out when it was clear that she would be losing the nomination. She just basically felt embarrased that her opponent stuck to his guns, overcame the obstacles and beat her out.

She's just like a little kid and the ppl who voted for her are stupid. "Oh nobody picked me so I'm going to take my ball home." That's just what she's doing. How can anybody who wants the democratic party to win in november, continue to help her split the votes and basically strengthen the republican party in the process. McCain gets more support because the democrats look weaker. Then he gets to be president. Then dies. Then his unknown vice president takes over.

Maybe not precisely what will happen, but the point is that it was clear you had to go with hillary or obama if you were non-republican. Why make such a stupid decision to vote clinton when it was clear she wouldnt win a long long time ago. She didn't secure her place on super tuesday months back, common sense suggested that her support was never gonna be enough. Especially since she changes her views and personality and contradicts herself every week =p

Sex without the e is still SX!

Re: Election at this point

i disagree, im not republican and i never thought that either Hillary or Obama was a clearly better then McCain and McCain's health isnt as bad as you're making it out to be; McCain is rich, he wont let his health get in his way from being president a full term.
