Party) Hillary Highlights 2009February 17, 2009Born into slavery as one of the youngest of thirteen children of James and Elizabeth in Ulster County, New York, in 1797, Sojourner Truth’s given name was Isabella Baumfree. As almost all of her brothers and sisters had been sold to other slave owners, some of her earliest memories were of her parents’ stories of the cruel loss of their other children. [snip] In 1843, she changed her name to Sojourner Truth – her name for a traveling preacher, one who speaks the truth – and left New York. She traveled throughout New England, where she met and worked with abolitionists such as William Lloyd Garrison, and Frederick Douglass. Her life story, The Narrative of Sojourner Truth: A Northern Slave, written with the help of friend Olive Gilbert, was published in 1850. While traveling and speaking in states across the country, Sojourner Truth met many women abolitionists and noticed that although women could be part of the leadership in the abolitionist movement, they could neither vote nor hold public office. It was this realization that led Sojourner to become an outspoken supporter of women’s rights. In 1851, she addressed the Women’s Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio, delivering her famous speech “Ain’t I a Woman?” The applause she received that day has been described as “deafening.” From that time on, she became known as a leading advocate for the rights of women. She became one of the nineteenth century’s most eloquent voices for the cause of anti-slavery and women’s rights. February 1, 2009 Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the President of Gays & Lesbians in Foreign Affairs Agencies met with each other on Friday, along with other heads of affinity groups from the State Department, during which time Clinton again voiced her pledge to review the inequities in how the State Department treats its gay and straight employees. January 29, 2009Because we want to share our ideas and experiences, our common goals, and nonpartisan solutions to the challenges that we face - and there are no limits to what we can achieve when we do. And because we want to keep working for a better future for every child, from every family – a world in which no limits is not just our goal, but a reality! January 28, 2009NoLimits.org will "keep you up to date with news about issues on which Hillary took a lead and we know you care so much about," group President Ann Lewis said in an e-mail to as many as 2 million people culled from the Clinton campaign database. Because No Limits is a registered nonprofit, "it cannot do anything political. It has to be nonpartisan," said Lewis, a longtime senior adviser to Clinton. In Clinton's job as secretary of state for President Obama, her political dealings are highly restricted. For example, she shut down her political action committee. Some, like Democratic consultant and former Bill Clinton aide Chris Lehane, dismiss talk that the group could be a springboard for Clinton to try again for the White House in, say, 2016. "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar," Lehane said. "I think this is just [a] group of folks who developed relationships in an intense [electoral] environment and want to stay together." But the University of Virginia's Larry Sabato countered: "Whenever a group like this says it's not a political organization, you just know it is." "Maybe [this] is Hillary's answer to Obama's new 'change' group that controls his golden mailing list. Maybe it's a way for Secretary of State Clinton to mobilize backing for her objectives at the State Department," he said. "And maybe [it's] a standby committee of supporters in case Hillary decides to get back into elective politics." Democratic consultant Hank Sheinkopf said NoLimits.org is "one way to make sure that she - and/or the former President - still have political leverage." Hillary World-Wide January 26, 2009 Secretary of State Hillary R. Clinton Meets Afghan Women Lawyers. Secretary of State Hillary R. Clinton met today at the State Department with fourteen prominent Afghan women judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys. These jurists were in Washington to participate in a training program arranged by the Department’s Public-Private Partnership for Justice Reform in Afghanistan. Secretary Clinton told them: "Your American friends greatly admire your bravery and courage. It is your work in the tough environment of Afghanistan for women lawyers that will bring real reform and the rule of law to the Afghan people. As President Obama made clear yesterday in his first foreign policy announcement, we are committed to supporting your efforts to bring security and stability to your country."

IN. 8% reporting
Hillary 56%
Obama 44%
Per CNN
IN 9% reporting
Hillary 57
Obama 43
Per CNN.
All these exit poll questions spell DOOM for Obama, there is no other way to spin it! Wow, wow, wow. If she wins IN and can hang close in NC, this is a huge night for her!
In a big AA district Hillary holding her own
Allen county 32% in 13K for Obama to Clinton 10K (56 to 44)

WOW: Candy Crowley: “the Clinton team expects to win in NC” holy jesus
I mean Hillary has 58%, Oooopppps
What????????????????????
Hillary starting to rack it up, nearly 20k ahead.
berkeley and joe fri
did i see an exit poll that said 59% of BO voters would support HRC should she win the nomination? sounds amazing, if true.
Berk, she must have meant IN.
yeah Berkeley, but at least on cnn they have already started spinning it as a win for obama if hillary is not able to get an upset in NC, which is stunning that anyone actually can think, looking at the history in this race with obama and the aa, that hillary would win NC; her getting close, and she has closed the margin big time, that’s the story! or it should be.
But then we have people like brazille, saying the math don’t change blah blah blah,,,,
Berkeley, are you effing kidding me?? Crowley said that? WOOHOO!
Give me momentum and energy and big victories over “math” and a candidate who’s hemmorraghing support by the hour, any day of the week!
Hillary will be in Indiana tonight for the election results. Bill Clinton will be in North Carolina for the election results. Both have speeches prepared.
Clinton taking most counties by approx 60% or more.
Berk, did you accidently write NC?
on what evidence berkeley? i hoping it is true.
If the Clinton team is saying what Candy announced, then their internals must be good!!
Both have speeches prepared?? cool, even funnier if Chelsea was a third place giving a speech, lol.
Candy said that about NC? and no one corrected her?? could she have been serious? hmm
Go, Hillary! BIG NIGHT. Gotta drive home from work shortly – y’all hold down the fort, OK?
Did she hear this tonight?!
Berk, you must have typed NC but meant IN right?
Hillguy: she must of meant IN.
Berk – did you mean “NC”? Not “IN?” (OMG, OMG, OMG!)
Informed: Drive safe!
Amazing how Senator Clinton’s goal post keep moving back. I guess they think that is the way to win. Anything close in NC is a victory, and IN what ever number is a win. Too bad Senator Obama does not have goals.
But then if he expect to be the President fo the US, he does not need goals? Amazing.
IN. 11% Reporting
Hillary 58
Obama 42
per CNN
I hope the 58/42 holds. She’s increasing by the minute, 22K now.
Is it true??? The Clinton campaign expects to win in NC????? Not a mistake?
IN 12% Reporting
Hillary 58
Obama 42

Thanks, B’gal! “See” you all soon -
moon she is doing well aa in fort wayne wow she got alot more aa’s than what they said…
Christ, Berk. You don’t type something like that and then go away.
The big urban areas of IN, have not reported yet. So, there will be some tightening of the race.
About 21,000 voter ahead!!
4 minutes for north carolina to close
Berkeley, please come back and clarify your comment!
Hiya, folks!
The results are looking good so far.
BTW, whatever happened to the recount in Guam?
Yeah, Berk, are you sure she didn’t mean IN?????
clinton dominating among those who decided later.
But looks at admin’s comment… Bill has a speech prepared to deliver in NC on behalf of the love of his life.
from mydd.com
Polling places in Delaware County, Indiana have been ordered to be kept open until 8:40pm due to a problem with the programming of the voting machines and the polling places’ running out of back-up paper ballots.
Bill deserves a medal for all the hard work, he has put in for Hillary. WOW! What a guy!
IN 16% Reporting
Hillary 102,504 votes 57%

Per CNN
is delaware county out in the sticks or urban?
Berk must have heard it wrong. Fox is planning to call NC as soon as it closes.
Based on comments at Taylor Marsh’s site, I believe it became clear later that Candy mixed up Indiana and North Carolina.
IN. is looking better than I thought!!!
ABC calling NC for Bambi.
balls.
am i surprised, no
What are the numbers in NC?
CNN’s website called NC for BO.
Fox calls NC for BO.
So how did ABC do that with no results in???
Exit polls, JAS.
THEY ALREADY HAVE HIM AND THE VOTES ARE NOT IN?
NBC and Fox call it for O bama but no numbers
I think it’s fucking bullshit that they call NC this soon, and its SO OBVIOUS Hillary has won IN and they aren’t calling it. Bullshit.
how is it possible to call NC for BO when the votes aren’t even counted yet?!
GD it!!!!!! I hope she rips him a new one in Indiana.
Holly Shit… Then what does that tell us about the final numbers ????
Why can they not call IN then? Does it mean his lead in NC is higher than hers in IN?
My guess is she already conceded the win to him. he has not conceded the win to her.
JAS, Exit polls tend to inflate Obama’s numbers. I think Hillary still may keep his margin in NC to single digits.
Steph now saying that a split win is not good enough for Hillary, that it’s not a game-changer.
Guess he forgot about Bambi HIMSELF claiming that Indiana was the TIE-BREAKER.
Well here is some good news
IN 19% reporting
Hillary 127,561 58%
Obama 94,107 42%
Per CNN
They think its about 60/40
well lookey here
Clinton won white voters (58%) again 2 to 1 and the independents and republicans. However they said 8% of white voters voted no preference.
Anyone know what percentage of the white vote she got in NC?
don’t let them change the rules of the game. split win is good enough as PA was.
I think 59% Paula
ok hillfans, let’s see the margin in north carolina.
She hasn’t conceded. Have you seen her concede anything tonight?
Paula I agree! but no matter what, MSM is going to say she has to leave and leave now..
Clintopn is holding up very very well in Indiananappolis.
Bcalling it without numbers in is BS!!! big time!!!……..but won’t they be sitting with egg on their faces when Hillary WINS NC
How can they change that when a week ago, they said that IN was a tie breaker, and is she did well in NC it would be significant.
How corrupt is our system and it moving goal post.
If she won the white vote 2-1 there’s no way she lost 60-40.
All along Hillary was suppose to win PA, Obama NC and Obama himself said IN would be the tie breaker. Funny how the pundits all forget his tie breaker remark…
IN 21% reporting
Hillary 133,463 57%
Obama 99,079 43%
Per CNN
Aint over until the fat lady sings guys.
Howard County in Indiana is the “bellwether” county. Howard County was somewhat 50-50 but now Hillary is ahead there about 6. No votes yet in Obama stronghold of Lake County.
Charlie Gibson said that even though Hillary has a large lead in Indiana, they cannot call it because the areas of the state near Chicago have not come in yet. As if there’s gonna be some kind of landslide for Bambi there.
I told you they are desperate for him to win.
Look guys, a lot of people voted no preference here, thats what happened, many white voters, voted no preference 8%
Hillary loses NC
If Hill won 66% of the white vote, she should win about 46% in NC.
If Obama won the AA vote 30-3, that gives him a 27-point edge. If she wins white voters by 20-some points, his margin of victory is single digits.
NO Numbers yet in NC???
The dead people in Chicago will have voted again in Indiana?
MSM=Pandering for obama!!!
I agree that the networks shouldn’t call NC before any votes have been counted.
I think MSM will be looking STUPID once the numbers in NC come in
Emmy
Only 2200 votes so far in NC and Hillary has 58%
Someone on TM said the Clinton people expected to lose NC by more than 5 points.
rjk,
So WTF??? HOW CAN THEY CALL IT FOR OB??
I told you that my friends at the precincts in Indiana said she was going to win by 15%
I called it! She really is!
This is great!
She is beating him so far in NC that is what I see on CNN!
NC so far
C 52%
O48%
They called it based on exit polls. No real numbers yet. I figured he’d win, but we will have to wait to see what the count is. Don’t be down, guys – there was no way she was winning a state with 33% AA’s voting.
If Obama did not pull a lot of the white vote in NC, he still looks bad.
wouldn’t you know it .. they are keeping precints open for obama in Indiana…
glad Fox is at least saying he won NC because of the AA.
If the whites had bloc voted for Hill .. we could have pulled it out.
pulling that crap in portage ind and gary where the judge said the ballots needed printing…bullshit..thats where opfrah lives in gary
keeping them polls open for another hour
dot48 – Whaaat?!? How?
Can you think of anyone I can call to complain to? The DNC probably doesn’t care, but the MSM should know about this, and know that Hillary is going to win by even more than the polls show…because of cheating!
dot: this happens in every friggin primary. The same thing happened in CA.
in IN obama not that far ahead in his districts……hill could take them over….only a few votes behind right now
yep .. they plan to steal as many votes as possible
It also happened in OH, too.
So where should we be commenting about this bullshit about ‘the math’?
Those nancy boys at MSNBC are creaming all over themselves over NC and totally ignoring IN. I don’t care how impassioned a plea Hillary might put out to unite behind Bambi, I will never do it in a million years. Never.
Check out FOX front page:
Obama won for NC with 48.6% of the current result; HRC 51.4%….
They tried in Pa, but the judge threw it out.
phyl, but we do not know who is reporting.
Imagine if white voters voted for Hillary at 91%. And yet BO’s campaign still calls Hillary supporters racist. What a crock of shit.
They keep saying that in the end Hillary voters will come home and vote for BO in the GE. Do you believe that? Is that wishful thinking? Where are they getting the stats for the BO support? Many, many of the Democrats we know are adamant. They will NEVER vote for BO.
Go Hillary in IN. Hope it is close in NC. They say that the black vote did it for BO in NC.
Well, now that the AA community has helped Obama, what will they expect Obama to do for them, like Rev Wright said, he will be knocking on Obamas door on Nov 5th.??????
The working class voters will go for McCain in the GE.
this is one WHOLE family who WILL NOT vote for Obama. NEVER
Exactly — as Obama had stated, IN was going to be the tie-breaker! And we’ve got WV (a crucial swing-state) coming up!
They will not save him in the upcoming primarys!
Lets see if they got it right tonight, be so funny if NC was closer than they think.
We need our own news station …
These CNN exit polls are total crap! They’re trying to spin it like the conservatives are voting for Hillary because they’re all mindless minions of Rush Limbaugh. How come it’s a positive thing for Barack Obama to talk about “Obamablicans” or whatever he calls the Republicans voting for him, but when it’s Hillary and conservatives it is some kind of conspiracy by tools of the Republican party?
It’s a double standard, and it’s wrong. Hillary Clinton appeals to people of all ideologies…she transgresses all of that! People are too ignorant to give her the credit, just like they’re too ignorant to see she is the only one of the candidates who will WIN the GE.
Dot
my family will not vote obama either !!
but let’s all relax…fl and mi will be solved one way or another even if its the convention
she WILL and DOES have the popular vote already!
she has a 10pt win so far in IN
and she will not loose by much in NC if she looses at all..yet to be known…..of course i would love to see another Gaum in NC
and it would be oh so lovely if she won it even by 7 votes
I will NEVER vote for him. NEVER. I hate him, but I hate his supporters even more, and I would NEVER give them the satisfaction of receiving my vote.
The numbers are not looking good in NC.
Well I feel a bit cheated about North Carolina. I got the feel from the phone that we’d be quite close there…the AA came out for him though and if nothing else they stick for their own.
If whites had done that for Hillary .. she’d been able to cream him
So yet again he lost the white vote big.
Our friend Craig Crawford, is the co-host on c-span tonight…a breath of fresh air. Lynn Sweet (Chi Sun Times reported live from IN…very positive abt our girl’s campaign and the results so far…lead now is 16 points.
I don’t know if anyone ever visits Andy Martin’s blog but he speaks the truth about Barack Obama and it isn’t good. Check it out and pass it around.
http://contrariancommentary.blogspot.com/
MJ, I am just assuming FOX news is reporting it. The exit poll of IN is 52% 48% for Hillary, but none of the media will call the winner….
For NC, they are willing to call based on the exit poll.
come on North Carolina … bring it closer for our girl. She worked her heart out there and she’d do you right
if you look at the county map on cnn website, they are mainly counting the AA areas so far
they have yet to count hillary’s areas…so hang tight!!
Hillary Clinton is going to be our next President
regardless of the early results in NC. Remember when IN was the tie breaker? PA? TX? OH?
that was for NC they are only counting the AA areas so far
jr – I don’t want to hear it.
When BO was winning Republicans it was because they loved his ideas, now they say Hillary is winning them because of Rush, BUL&*S(&T! The republicans voting over on this side are a lot to do with Hillary being the better candidate. The audacity of spin!!
Out of NC…remember BO does better w/ early voters, Hill with later voters. Whoever called NC for him may have to eat crow.
What county is Indianapolis in? And what are the Chicago bordering counties we’re supposed to look for?
Rush has always had a crush on her.
She said so herself
“regardless of the early results in NC. Remember when IN was the tie breaker? PA? TX? OH?”
Exactly Ronald…..we need to speak out more about this. That she has won the tie breaker 4 times now!
dot48 – Please calm down. The great thing about America is that we can choose whom we vote for. I am glad all white people don’t vote together (if they did, it would probably be all for McCain!).

Marion is where Indianapolis is. And they are talking about those counties in the NorthWest corner of the state around the Lake.
its funny because if you look at the map of NC on cnn the margins are so low and look how many counties still have not yet voted – look at it and let me know your thoughts
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/state/#NC
Ronald – Really? That’s funny. Is he married? I can’t imagine anybody marrying that guy, ever.
Thanks!
I’ll bet she got Republicans’ votes when she went on O’Reilly.
lol, seems operation chaos worked in indiana. she won the gop vote there.
ugh…some of those pundits on cnn….ugh
SUSA had NC at 5 points yesterday. We’ll see… I am still hopeful.
“They keep saying that in the end Hillary voters will come home and vote for BO in the GE.”
If that were true, Democrats would win every election. There are more Democrats than Republicans! Democrats always lose because they DON’T just vote for whoever is nominated.
rush goes thru wives like popcorn in a movie theater. he is 3 times divorced i believe.
I think they voted for her, not for Rush.
Because she’s that good.
Obama’s only winning Marion County by 20 percent so far.
if anyone is watching cnn…don’t…..it is disgusting.
And they say race doesn’t matter. I almost want Obama to be the nominee so he can get creamed by John McCain, but he will still have have his 90-95% of African-American voters.
It’s really funny that the super Obama-crazy Bloomington (in Monroe County) with the college there is going to go to Hillary Clinton. That’s going to really hit the BO camp hard.
hillfans, nc, south carolin, alabama, ect… you get the idea. aa votes almost entirely won him these states.
I want BO to get creamed, PERIOD. Oh wait, that’s what WV and KY are for.
How do you guys know where on the map the votes are coming in at?
Have any of the rural NC areas been counted yet?
The reason Obama’s states get called so quickly: Exit polls tend to inflate his support, and vice versa. For example, Fox’s exit polls had Hillary up 4 in PA; she won by 10 percent.
practically none of Hillary’s counties in NC have come in yet and she is holding her own in Raleigh.
Ugggh.. Killing HRC on CNN –call for her to stop unless she wins North Carolina!!!
Which network is better????
when are the WV and KY primaries? 2 weeks?
its lake county paula where gary and portage ind..are and opfrah lives in gary keeping thsoe polls open bullcrap..
NC is mostly his strong areas right now. Rural counties where Hill is strong are not in yet.
Is Hillary expected to get the southern part of Indiana (Evansville)??
Jen the Michigander – no – you can find these out at:
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/state/#NC = NORTH CAROLINA
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/state/#IN = INDIANA
Guys, so not freak out over the media. They yell for her to get out whether she wins or loses – just ignore them.
@jen,
No none of Clinton’s precincts have been counted while a lot of BO’s (raleigh) included are in. I think they are really being premature. This is going to tighten substantially.
moon: if she is holding her own in Raleigh, that is good. That is the area of the research triangle and universities.
spega, watch Fox if you have to watch anything. NEVER go to CNN unless you want to have a stroke.
Did CBS project Hill wins Indie?
True that CBS called IN for HILL?
alcina, WV is next week, KY is the week after.
Actually I stopped watching cnn….let them talk …..that’s all it is….talk.
Time to call for Obama to drop out for losing Indiana!
Paula, that’s exactly what Brim Hume was saying before…the exit poll for IN was something like 52 to 48; but tend to inflate Obama’s support by few points….
I never watch CNN. Fox is better, especially with the mute button on. LOL!
Indiana was the tie-breaker.
I can’t believe that they won’t call IN but will call NC. They are fucks.
57-43 IN for Hill acc to CBS
Way to go Barack! Your winning general election coalition of African Americans and yuppies pulls through yet again!
Too bad the nation doesn’t mirror the demographics of Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina, too bad Republicans get to vote in November too, and too bad November isn’t a caucus or else you’d be a shoo in!
They better fucking call WV next Tuesday RIGHT AS POLLS CLOSE. Fuckers.
thanks hillguy. i don’t think i could take another 2 full weeks between contests.
Spega, watch Fox, they are not as biased. Only watch CNN when Lou Dobbs is on. He’s the only one that makes sense on CNN.
yeah, CBS called IN for Hillary! i’m off to bed I think.
CBS calls Indiana for Hillary!!!!
Finallly! How much you want to bet her margin in IN is bigger than his in NC?
LOL Huckabee is still getting 10% of the vote (in IN). That is a higher percentage than AAs who vote for our girl. And they call US racists???
Guys remember did not BO say Indiana was the tie-breaker….well Hillary won the tie-breaker!
Its starting to close in Indiana.
That 57-43 margin for IN has remained the same for quite awhile.
Fantastic showing for Hillary tonight….she is gaining momemtum as Indiana has shown us.
Will the narrow close to single digits in NC?
We should be excited when you think about it … I mean even bo thought he had a chance last week with Indiana….hello!!!
Obama is losing steam folks!
with this kind of results, Obama is simply a black candidate who plays old politics but disguised with the fake image…
I simply hope people will see through his old politics and fake image….
well…if we talk about it phyl they will know
way to early to call NC. It may be a long night. whatever the result, will have to look at the breakdowns. If any victory of his is too lopsided in the white/AA ratio, not good for him no matter what the total vote is.
If he loses IN by more than 10 he is in big trouble.
Axelrod is a real piece of work..
reading on TM – that people in line in NC can vote if they’re in line at 7:30…so, the media trying to call it early was way for them to suppress voters, trying to get people to leave the polls if they were standing in line, trying to dishearten people, especially those coming late – probably working class people. This is ridiculous – it’s tampering with the electorate – it’s psychological warfare as jeff Gold on stop-obama noted.
Ininla….thank you! that is the trickery we are seeing.
Can some one tell me how meany delegates WV. and KY have????
ininla…….could cause those still in line to vote for hillary
I mean that we are also seeing on the news channels.
cnn called it early for Obama so they could trash hillary for the next hour or two. disgusting
exactly – i have friends in NC – working very hard for this, the calling has gone well, lots of Clinton supporters, Bill clinton campaigning in the rural regions should also do well – the numbers should be close – this is such a ploy, and I am so tired of the media plotting with Obama at every turn to try and stuff his candidacy down our throats.
innila-u think she will pull closer in nc-i mean my god the clintons worked it so very hard?
i mean i called and called there-i mtellin yah a great many ncers are comming out big for clinton. big. i have no doubt.
sometime I can help to wonder: look at the old politics supporting obama, Dean, Pelosi, Kennedy, Kerry….you believe these folks are capable of the new politics…….what a joke….
I forgot to mention that obama is a closet racist….even he denounced his pastor which I thought was an act….how do you denounce the 20 years of wright’s teaching (words, books, tapes etc.)….
Hillguy, I agree with you. I know many African Americans that buck the trend and vote for Hillary (some very taleted African American female friends of mine) and they have been steadfast in their support for Hillary.
BUT, African Americans who are voting SOLELY on race are doing themselves a great disservice. For one, they are eroding moral highground they’ve had on racial identity politics issues, and two, because Obama will lose due to his crazy assness – UnAmerican associations, racialist associations, terrorist and criminal associations – he will mar and stereotype the future chances of any LEGITIMATE and QUALIFIED African American candidate for many elections.
I really do think with each election result that shows African Americans voting 91% for the sorta-kinda black guy, it disillusions more and more whites, who aren’t keen on getting Okie-Doked by the post-racial phony man from Hawaii/Kansas/Illinois/Indonesia.
Because most of us here are smart enough to know Obama doesn’t “got it” enough to take the general election against McCain. Against Huckabee, maybe, but the Republicans did themselves a favor by electing a guy that conservative democrats and moderates are comfortable with as an “Un-Obama.”
Obama will lose in November if the Dems are stupid enough to try to run him. The question is not IF, it’s HOW MUCH.
texan, I want to call you but I don’t have my cell. Email me your number.
Jas 28 and 52
this whole election season has be such rubbish!! I would hate to have the repugs in office for another 4 years
but i am soooooooooooo serious about voting mc cain if hill is not the nominee
just so i dont have to listen to for 4 years or see BO and that nasty biotch wife of his in the whitehouse
So he loses OH, PA, IN. Not very good. Of course he does well in the black belt. He should. Favorite son. Not a winnable election strategy for November. Anybody with a brain and one eye (this excludes CNN, Dean, etc.) can figure this one out.
Come on North Carolina. Bring in the votes for Hillary.
Thanks !!
In every state BO get a court order to leave polls in a heavily AA district open longer. EVERY STATE he does this. Can you imagine what would be said about Hillary if she did that? He is such a fucking baby and will NEVER be president.
djia – doubt it – I mean campaign offices are calling people all the way to the last minute, but if they’re in line, you can’t get to them. But word of mouth that CNN called it, or those on text message will see it and that will affect the psychology of voters.
I will tell you that the same things happened at conventions – for example, Colorado delegate selection happening at the same time as Wyoming caucus – ppl were NOT allowed to use cellphones or get outside news, but no one was patrolled and delegates would flip to BO because they’re seeing on their CNN text updates that he’s winning a caucus.
This collusion with the media is just getting to me. I should take up kick-boxing or something.
“cnn called it early for Obama so they could trash hillary for the next hour or two.”
Exactly. They’re in the tank for him, and they do what they want.
MSNBC just came back from the commercial break saying IN is too early to call. What the hell? It’s not even close, and CBS has already called it! Are they slow in the head?
Also, calling NC the second polls “closed” was a dick move.
djia .. I have said I’d never vote for HIM. NEVER
Do you hear them chanting MI FL? hehehe
54-46 in Indiana – Hillary leading – what happened to the 15 plus margin??!?!?!?!
now its at 8 percent seperating the two!
63-35 in North Carolina _ Obama leading – WILL HILLARY CATCH UP???? IM SO FRUSTRATED
I would not vote for McCain (am I in the minority here?). I would consider a 3rd party candidate under the SLIM chance that the DNC sticks its head in its butt and cheats her of the nomination. But, if Obama was elected president, I think I will move to Europe.
I am moving to SD…..can i vote if i voted in IA already ?
say………who here is going to help the campaign in SD???
I live in nwIA now about 1.3 hrs from sioux falls (large city) and can put a couple people up here at my house
justmeinmountdorafl – Don’t be frustrated. I have some information from some people that Hillary Clinton will win in IN by 12-15%.
In NC, Obama will be up by single digits, maybe. That will be very difficult to call a victory.
know i understand how bush won.
dot , i have said that too
that i would vote for nadar…….but that wouldn’t guarantee that obama would loose
as it will be mainly mc cain and the dem nom that will take the majority of votes.
unfortunately
djia – I hope you are kidding (you are, right?). I am sure that is illegal, but you definitely can GOTV quite a bit if you are going to be in SD, and then it’ll make more of a difference than just your own single vote.
I am a proud Democrat, but I would have NO problem voting for McCain the Moderate against BO the FRAUD.
Look at Massachusetts! They fell for Axelrod’s creation (Deval Patrick) there, and they regret it. BO is barely tied with McCain there, in the bluest of all blue states.
justmein, Marion County is coming in now. That’s where Indianapolis is.
they still have them polls opened there in indiana they arent saying it something fishy going on..they didnt say they closed them either..stuffing the vote down there w eneed a surgate who can come out and say something.about these states for leaving the polls opened
slow burn here .. Fox news is starting to salivate at the thoughts of running against Waffles.
Which parts of IN haven’t been counted yet? Are they pro-Hillary counties?
Thankfully IN has voter ID check.
hallow
I was kidding about voting in SD LOL that’s why i winked
tough luck brazille……obama has caused the divisions…..
djia – OK, got it.
the good news.
Raleigh and Durham are almost done counting so this should be the biggest lead Obama has during the night in NC. We should see things tighten quickly in NC shortly.
you’re right , as most of the other counties for NC in OB lead are barely counted yet and could change significantly
It’ll be hilarious to watch the BHO people cry when Hillary Clinton wins by like 70-30 in both West Virginia and Kentucky ON THE SAME DAY. People in those parts don’t take too kindly to big, whiney elitists.
Thats good news for NC, but most of Hillary’s stronghold are finished reporting as well.
you know if Obama gets the nomination he will lose the GE what becomes of his political future??? governer??
This is RIDICULOUS.
The Media Whores are delaying this so they can spin it as Bambi won NC, and IN is SO CLOSE that we can’t call it, therefore Bambi wins.
wv and ky are one week apart … start calling wva tomorrow.
Jr
in NC they have barely started counting her counties
JAS – Maybe Hillary Clinton will hire him as like a doorman or something.
But, that isn’t political. He won’t have a political future.
lake county, porter st joseph laporte..there outside of chicago..no results
NW corner of Indiana is starting to report and Hill has a lead in Porter county.
jr – WHY ARE YOU SO NEGATIVE? We need to keep our spirits up, people! Hillary needs us!
all the pundits said he needed to show he could win the white voters in indianna……if he didnt he was in HUGE trouble
so let’s all see what they say this week……since he clearly is not winning the white votes in either state
I just have to say that the double standard that says it is ok for AA to vote based on race but not whites just makes me sick.
MJS – Dont forget Charlotte – thats a strong Obama county
obamabots are still in force tonight….
dot48 – Oops. My mistake. But she’ll still win by 30+ points in both places, which NOBODY can spin away.
dija, I was talking about Indiana. Sorry about the confusion.
All we can do Ann is keeping speaking up about it and blog everywhere.
dedfg – You mean on the internet, or on TV? What channel are you watching, I’m curious?
JAS – i think BO has a future as a spiritual leader..maybe a pastor in a church somewhere.
BO can become Hill’s chauffeur
“Driving Ms Hillary”
don’t worry guys. west NC is briefly coming in piece by piece. Hillary will have everything down to around single digits for NC.
alcina – With his BFF, right?
Ok Jr
but about 40% of them are not and about 12% have no report yet
payback will be hell next week in WV .. heads up though bambi will have his head stuck up Rockefellers ass all this week .. kennedy and kerry in tow.
someone needs to remind voters how waffles really feels about them .. guns, bible, clinging … memory is short it seems …
South Bend is reported 100%
hallow
i think hillary camp will go nuclear now
southbend 53 – 47 good
Ha, Obama not winning by enough in the big places, Hillary has north carolina
jr, Obama’s indiana counties are all but finished.
Hillary is winning the NWestern parts of Indiana which were Obama’s only shot at coming to a close finish in Indiana.
Ohh my god South Bend went to Obama???
Hopefully Hillary can hold on to the NW corner of Indiana and I can’t wait until Indianapolis finishes reporting.
she’s winning in the chicago news market area though
djia – That’s awesome. That’s where my friends are. They claim that it’s because the Chicago area plays Wright clips nonstop. No wonder they hate BHO.
now it is 5 percent sperating the two in Indiana wtf?
i mean indiana
by all counts, I doubt Obama will lose NC, but I don’t see him pulling off a significant margin.
the question, however, is why the DNC seems so intent on award delegates to heavily-AA influenced areas moreso than others.
Just as they have heavily given more delegates per person to caucus states.
brace yourself .. I am afraid tomorrow that the pressure is gonna be on her tomorrow to drop out. The whole polling was skewed in NC so that it would look like he overperformed.
ok….she is doing extremely well in the western part of the state and those numbers are just coming in. They are much smaller counties but they will add up. It will tighteng. NC Sec of State has them w/in 18 now.
MJS, because the DNC only knows how to lose GE’s.
Ann can you provide the link please? Thanks!
the margin in NC is slowly but surely tightening.
I agree single digits in NC – the media will take the next five hours to talk about his giant victory in NC, and tomorrow, they’ll be trying to spin single digit win. They need to look at the breakdown of voter demographics – I am sure he’s proved himself unelectable for the GE all over again.
NC State board of elections now has Clinton w/in 15 and closing fast.
@hillguy,

just emailed u my no.
the sad thing is the media whores have already made this into a big win for Obama. HOW the fuck they did it I don’t know. The demographics were always in his favor … who ever said it should be a 2-0 for Hillary is nuts.
We in this country have been taken over by msm
it is a special sports event called “Trashing Hillary”, the competitors are “the media”
may be they have a private, secretive ceremony to award the winner…..
“the media will take the next five hours to talk about his giant victory in NC”
That’s what they want, and tomorrow they’ll move on to something else, like the storm in Myanmar.
Ann, thanks!
fuck them .. why are they putting so much into Lake County and Gary .. did they stuff the ballot box for him up there.
still dont understand why is it 5 percent? it shoul dbe more then 10!
Nobody ever expected Hillary to win NC.
plural I agree but still its like20 percent!
Slowly but surely inching up in NC.
I agree plural….that’s why his win means nothing there.
justmeinmountdorafl, I was just yelling the same thing to my computer.
@justmeinmountdorafl i think it is 6 in IN… in NC it is 15 right now…
it needs to be less then 10 in NC and more then 10 in IN to ‘offset’ one another
I hate to break it to any Obama supporters reading this board, but after tonight, it is only clearer that Senator Barack Hussein Obama will NEVER be the president of the United States. Neither in this lifetime, the next one, or in hell.
I can guarantee ANY Obama supporter this simple fact and will take any one of them on in predictions and arguments.
The primaries are unfolding as I had originally thought. Hillary will certainly be the nominee when everything is said and done. Tonight should only raise more questions about the electability of Barack Obama.
If Barack wins by less than 30% in NC (which is the percent of AA’s in that state), it will raise very very serious questions.
but the media has already spun it as a wipe out in NC .. Hillary surrogates need to pounce on all the shows tomorrow .. OR BETTER .. Hillary herself.. she’s her best surrogate. Book all the morning shows .. go after His Highness …
I swear if he gets the nomination I will be gleeful to watch the republicans destroy him.
Big problem in NC is raleigh. 50 K vote difference in that county. that is the majority of the difference.
I will never vote for this bastard!
notice they stuck every white person they could find behind him.
watching dancing with the stars now, let me know when Obama’s over speaking
LOL……had to switch to deal or no deal
msm had too much BO for my nose
Brand-new article detailing how Barack Obama’s North Carolina win, depsite first appearances, actually
damages his chances to be the Democratic nominee:
http://www.villarrealsports.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=494
The mainstream media’s over-reaction to Obama’s win, predictably, is dead-wrong in its assessment.
This win actually seriously damages Obama’s chances to become the candidate for Democrats who wish
to have a fighting chance against John McCain.
HE CAN ALWAYS GO TO WORK FOR REZKO
Or he could be a community organizer.
MJS: If Barack wins by less than 30% in NC (which is the percent of AA’s in that state), it will raise very very serious questions.
I agree! There are serious questions about BO’s electability.
He is already taking a dig at Hillary. F**k the bastard.
me and you too .. just me .. I despise him. I know I’m not supposed to hate but I feel nothing but pure hatred for him and this whole naked process of theft by deception. That is what he is doing to the AA and they don’t realize it. I do not believe that he would care for the AA like the Clintons have. That is the worst part of this whole thing. Bill and Hillary have done so much for them .. just like the other Judas’s ,, Bill and Hillary showed real class and gave these people a hand up and this is the thanks they get.
42/56 now, within 14
I am also watching DWTS….the guy singing was just on AI too (in the audience) I love his singing though.
love appolo on DWTS…
dot48 its just upsetting – I looked at the guy’s website and its just pure sickening – almost propanganda (sp?) and its almost like they’re trying to lure you in you know. scary. Im tired.
Yes, it’s 14. Maybe it will end up in single digits!
is anyone safe yet? I missed it so far.
omg i turn him off oh geez drifter drifting in the wind
again..let us know when he is done
I’m tired too .. can’t imagine how Hillary does this. I really thought our calls into NC would bring the totals within a few points…

He has yet to win anything against a viable Republican, I think. I hope to see the GOP take him on seriously, whatever he runs for next.
They’ll vote for her in November.
Lake county in Indiana is worrisome. It’s got a population of 494,000 and a black population of 26% according to the US census website. None of that vote has come in yet according to CNN. Assuming 25% of the population casts a vote in the dem primary, that’s an additional 124,000 or so votes that haven’t been counted yet. Hopefully Hillary will keep it close there.
moononpluto,
where are you getting that poll 14
BHO trying to convince himself and idiots at his rally that white America, blue-collar will rally to him. NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Note to David Axelrod and BO campaign: Lower BO’s teleprompters so he has to actually look at the people rather than have his nose stuck up in the air. He looks so arrogant and elitest!
When you watch BO give one of his speeches with the sound turned off, it is amazing how his body language shows the REAL Obama.
Theres something wrong here, SUSA had her up by 12, they are never this far out.
results.enr.clarityelections.com/NC/1875/3528/en/summary.html
Southern Born: That’s so TRUE! Everytime I see a picture of waffles, he’s got his nose pointing skywards. I guess he’s trying to get his nose as far away from his body odor as possible
Southern Born, I think his latte demographic finds that attractive.
moononpluto – You’ll see. SUSA was not wrong. There are plenty of votes left, and the margin will get much bigger.
Here:

Dot, Now he wants our votes. He made fun of us all these days. f**k him I will never vote for him.
His brain-washing tactics may work on latte-drinking cappucino’s, but people who work for a living won’t be BAMBOOZLED OR HOODWINKED. ALL THEY HAVE TO DO IS SEE AYERS STANDING ON OLD GLORY. I SAY LET’S MAKE POSTERS TO SEND TO EVERY HIILARY SUPPORTER TO PUT ON THEIR REFRIGERATOR TO REMIND THEM TO NOT SUPPORT BHO – E V E R !!!!!!!!
the only way Obama will ever be Commander In Chief is if he runs in Hell with Rezko and Ayers as his running mates.
better yet, put those posters on every light pole in every city
Now w/in 13 in NC. cheer up all.

yeah and they kept the polls open for a hour and a half more..he uses there media market and opfrahs too..it pisses me off..
There really is no room to squeak anymore in Indiana.
What is going on with Lake County?
Shit its within 4% in Indiana.
Kos says Harold Ford called on her to drop out. Is that true?
they must be throwing out hill’s votes in lake county
Don’t trust the polls…the only polls that count are the VOTERS.
The polls this season has been so manipulated that I have very high trust issues with them.
they would call for her to drop out even if she took both states by 10
moononpluto, What do you mean “no room to squeak”?
THINKS HE CAN TALK ABOUT SMALL-TOWN VALUES NOW AND JOBS, ECONOMY AND PEOPLE WILL FLOCK.
WHERE THE HELL IS AYERS APPOINTING HIM TO LEAD FOUNDATION FOR EIGHT YEARS, AUCHI, ALMASSARAE, WHERE THE HELL ARE THESE STORIES?
INSULTING THAT HE TALKS ABOUT HIS GRANDPARENTS THAT HE DISSES ON A DAILY BASIS. THREW HER UNDER THE BUS IN MARCH.
I WILL NEVER BE IN THE COLUMN OF SUPPORTERS WHO HELP MO LIVE IN THE WHITE HOUSE FOR THEIR NOI BUDDIES TO HANG OUT IN. N E V E R !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have trust issues with the whole election evening.
2 large counties in IN haven’t been counted.
I thought Harold Ford was a supporter.
now its 52-48 wtf
And another note to the BO Campaign…get him some botax. BO’s developed big frown lines right between his eyes in the past month or so. Tell him to quit looking so angry and bitter…his eyes are hard…maybe you should keep him from hanging out with Michelle so much. How come BO does not smile when he is giving one of “those” speeches?
Turn off the sound and just watch him…!!!
Paula i mean there are 2 big counties bordering illinois and Hillary’s lead is dropping.
if both In and Nc are lost .. I think she will reassess. Just being realistic. Even though they were both his territory, the things that have come to light on him would have taken down and wiped out anyone else. The party is covering for him, the media is tanking for him ..
I’m honestly not surprised by any of these results. NC was going to be a loss, and IN was always close. This doesn’t change delegate distribution much. It’s still going to be decided by supers on the basis of electability.
First they said she had to take OH and TX or drop out
Next they said she has to take PA or drop out
After that they said she had to take IN or drop out
Next they will say she must walk on water or drop out
Guess what? Dropping out is voluntary. No one can force her to drop out. There are no provisions in the DNC rule book for it. The longer they play this drop out game, the more stubborn Hillary becomes. The more stubborn she becomes, the more contests she wins, the more she is respected by her fellow citizens. And rightly so!
If need be, this will go to the convention floor in Denver. SHE IS NOT DROPPING OUT.
Hillary’s closing in fast in NC
well with Indiana coming in so slow it does make one wonder … even fox put waayyy too much into Lake county .. makes one wonder wtf is going on.
True tabby, I mean we wanted to be positive but even cnn stated that they had expected bo to win NC.
what counties in IN are left for Hillary?
2 large counties in IN have not come in. What is up?
dot48, it depends on which way Lake County goes. large population over there.
the surrounding counties are all Hillary by a mile, so we’ll see.
ooohhhhhhhhhh 43/55 now in NC, within 12
lake and la porte
Yes, she’s within 12 now in NC.
Glen Beck has Michelle Obama’s number. If you get to watch his show .. he has her number. She is one angy woman with real issues.
moononpluto,
Im watching cnn where are you guys watching this!
How dare that SOB about the american flag draped over his fathers coffin when his friend Ayres stomps on it.
NC state elctions board website
I’m sorry, but is BO witnessing right now, or giving a speech?
results.enr.clarityelections.com/NC/1875/3528/en/summary.html

Hillary’s been able to keep down a lot of Obama’s margins in East NC. That’s very good.
Even if she didn’t end up winning it, I would LOVE to see Hillary pull ahead of Bambi in North Carolina, only temporarily, just so all the Media Whores would crap their pants live on the air.
Now w/in 12 in NC
Where are yiu looking at the results Fox still shows 57-41 BO in NC.

and porter county inbetween is finally moving to count votes
Hey what did Michelle say to BO when she came out on the stage after his speech…he looked at her and sort smercked??
Joe, Donna Brazille would prbbly go into a fit and start talking about racism.
well, I have to say the media outdid themselves in showing their extreme bias for BO tonight.
but if you look at the map of NC – Hillary’s only doing well in western part of NC which is small towns but Obama doing well in central or eastern NC which is heavily populated
What country do we live in anyway? I don’t really know this place anymore. How could ANYONE with his TERRORIST TIES be winning the office for the Presidency?!? Watching this coup de tete in slow motion right before our eyes.
Oh no, Bob Beckel.
Are lake and la porte for hillary?
how can American’s still vote for him after they hear this wife. I just don’t get it. The AA bloc voting is going to change the landscape of America and the whites just don’t get it.. WAKE UP
justme, Obama was supposed to BLOWOUT Eastern NC, which is full of latte liberals. He’s winning some areas there by only 5% or less.
that’s pretty good for us.
Lake county may be doing the same thing St Joseph’s county did just report all their precincts at once.
how come they talk about middle age women all the time but not middle age men.
jesus guys, i’m not liking this, she’s down to a 38k lead now.
only 130k votes difference in NC so far
This is very bad. Gery is not in yet.
Some said earlier that they kept polls in Lake County open until 8:40 eastern time. That was an hour ago. Where the hell are the numbers??
WHY ARE THE MAJORITY OF WHITE DEMOCRATS STANDING BY AND LETTING THE AA HIJACK OUR PARTY?!?
WRONG BOB BECKEL. WE WILL NEVER, EVER VOTE FOR HIM AND YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK.
NOT ELECTING BHO WILL SET THE PARTY BACK DECADES? LIKE ELECTING BHO WON’T?
they are deliberately doing this so that her victory speech will be late .. those bastards. why hold up the vote count
yes dot, the last three hours have been bo and trashing hillary.
PLEASE ANSWER ME FRIENDS IS lake and la porte AND LAKE COUNTY FOR HILLARY PLEASE RESPOND!
ok…some quick math. Marion county (indianapolis) 91% reporting. about 160 K votes total 66% for BO. w/9% left, that is about 15 K votes left or so. If same percentages hold, he will get another 9 K votes from that county.
I’m not watching much….just flick over for a minute to check the results….but even in that minute it is always the same conversation.
He’s supposed to win Lake County, not sure of La Porte
curiosity .. I’ve been saying the same thing. The AA have made a political statement .. they are going to vote for him no matter WHAT. The exit polls have been WRONG on every count. The whites need to step up or be shit outta luck with this dude and his creepy anti American background and his hateful wife.
I think it’s time we started an organized effort against him if Hill isnt the nominee. We need to figure out how to effectively work to keep him OUT of the white house. He is dangerous.
ok…this is weird. Charlotte has only reported 17% so far……….
The suspense is unbearable.
How can 66% of the voters think that BO is HONEST as reported on FOX. Do those people live in caves or at the bottom of Lake Superior?? Do some of the people we meet on the streets and highways actually have brains? That’s scary.
If this ends it for Hillary, I’m checking out of politics for the rest of the year. I’m sick and tired. I will not lift a finger for Barack, and I will almost certainly go to McCain.
If The-Next-President-of-the-United-States (Hillary) doesn’t win Indiana tonight, I believe it will be due to cheating and fraud. With her lead in the polls plus the demographics of Indiana, this win should have been much easier than it is looking right now. Leaving some polling places open–when everyone else has to play by the rules–is one example of what I am talkiing about. That two of BO’s strongest counties are the last to report is also suspicious.
Survey USA has the best track record among the pollsters this season. I think they were right in IN and NC, thus there is something else going on.
I also get the feeling that BM wanted to “engineer” the reporting this night to benefit BO.
Seriously something smells in Indiana.
everyone should contribute $5 tonight to hillary’s campaign for a show of support.
yes…lake county looks problematic. 400 K population 1/3 AA
sad to say, but I have to admit:
I’m contemplating ordering “McCain 2008″ signs for my lawn depending on how stupid the democratic party is.
Now, that can all change if the democrats make the smart and only choice and go with Hillary.
If they don’t, I will campaign my heart out for McCain.
Smells like dirty Chicago politics.
And Lake is next to Chicago, hopefully the large Latino population turns out

Some said earlier that they kept polls in Lake County open until 8:40 eastern time. That was an hour ago. Where the hell are the numbers??
yep that what i am saying they closed where are the numbers ..i would never trust that part in indiana..never its opfrah land
laporte – 110 K in pop, 10% aa.
I’m seriously worried guys.
I think hill fans need to not watch fox for a week or two …..lower their ratings and send a strong message!!
Lake county might have 1/3 AA but that does not mean the rest could not go to Hillary
I read today that some Washington insiders say that Dean believes that any Democrat can win this year against the Republicans so he’s not as worried about Obma’s negatives.
My take: Dean is vastly underestimating the problems that Obama would have in the general election and the fierceness of the upcoming GOP attacks. He is also vastly underestimating the amount of dissatisfaction with working class Dems towards Obama. He is underestimating the appeal of McCain who will be looked on as “safe” and as experienced. It’s obvious Dean vastly underestimated the popularity of Hillary. It shows he is not the sharpest tool in the shed. All he has done is rip the Democratic party apart and change a sure victory in Novemeber to a question mark.
I hate to say this guys but i think we are going to get screwed here.
WTF has happened.
I agree with you completely about Dean.
why are AA’s “clinging” to Obama? that’s a much better question than why the working class “cling to guns and religion”
im not going watch any fox anymore only greta she is fair..and i will watch nacy grace..quit giving them there ratings now,at fox..because there gonna trash her more they want him so mccain will beat him..
Dean is out of touch, incompetent, corrupt, and repulsive in every sense of the word.
brit hume, ooing over bo speech, saying their was some oooooing in the studio
yep , i am striking on fox!!
Guys, what the heck is happening? Gary isn’t in. That’s going to go BO. I think we have troubles.
I also had read on TM that rural voters didn’t come out heavily in IN. That could be a major problem.
Dot, My only consolation is that “The AA bloc voting is going to change the landscape of America and the whites just don’t get it.. WAKE UP:
that it will never happen. They will implode. the backlash will be swift. the stampeded to mcCain will be deafening. And the AA voting block can say by by to affirmative action, to quota systems, and all the other leveling strategies implemented because white democrats believed it was the fair thing to do.
For 91% of the AA voting block to go for Waffles is the most racist thing I have heard. Why doesn’t Deaniac point THAT out?
Bedtime for me…..hope the news improves over night.
Guys stay strong ok she is still winning and is sneaking up on him in NC everyone lets breath!
If this is the end of the line for Hillary, I swear to work against Obama. He has lied too much, he has been propped up too much, he has attacked most viciously with the aid of the media, that I absolutely feel angry. I feel abused, for Hillary. I feel wronged. With the help of the Republicans, I want his supporters to feel that way too.
Per MSNBC, we should know about Lake Co. at about 10 PM.
Now guys, I am Hillary die hard to the end but the onslaught tomorrow is going to be enormous.
There is no way in hell i am voting for Barack Obama, full stop. period.
guys, even if Hillary loses NC and IN today, so what? (she won’t, I’m guessing) Hillary will trample Obama in WV and KY. FL and MI will have to count, and then PR is ours.
Obama wins North Carolina, CBS says Clinton takes Indiana
From Yahoo
ca.news.yahoo.com/s/reuters/080507/us/politics_usa_politics_dc
fox said they were bringing pizza for the polls in those counties…….so it’s dinner break
that’s BS!!
hillfans, stay strong. lake county taking forever.
this won’t be the end of hillary, she is going to convention and so are we!!!
Tomorrow, I register as an Independent.
LAKE COUNTY COULD BE OURS EVERYONE!
Where are the fucking numbers????
what does CBS know the rest dont
What I don’t understand is anybody expecting the media to be any different than they are. They are in the tank for BO, and nothing is going to change that.
But Hillary is fighting and we have to support her.
OK, I’ve done some math on the Lake county vote based on Marion county. They both have a 26.1% black population. Assuming Lake county votes in the same percentages as Marion, then the following numbers should be close to what we see there:
Total votes: 104,475
33% of that vote total would be 34477 for Hillary.
67% of that vote total would be 69998 for waffles.
net gain for waffles would be 35521.
Let’s hope that those percentages don’t hold in Lake, and that LaPorte comes in for Hillary!
yeah and stuff the votes down with pizza oboamai
was CBS the one that called Missouri for Hill?
Oh, great. I only turn up the sound for a bit and what do I hear…the symbolism of the date of the acceptance speech at the Dem. Convention…I assume is the very same date of the MLK “I Have a Dream” speech.
Okay…no more sound…no more FOX.
lanny on cnn
we’re in trouble in IN…
Among U.S. cities with a population of 100,000 or more, Gary has the highest percentage of African-American residents (as of the 2000 U.S. census). Gary had one of the nation’s first African-American mayors, Richard G. Hatcher, and hosted the ground-breaking 1972 National Black Political Convention. At the same time, Gary suffered from many affluent and middle-class residents leaving Gary and relocating to the surrounding towns and cities.
Levon, Marion is where Indianapolis is.
I assure you, Lake should be closer.
Faith. Have faith. Then have a drink. And Harold Fucking Ford park my car.
CBS would not call this unless they knew something. after all this time.
Ok let’s not doom and gloom the board guys.
Ann, we’ll see. Hasn’t Hillary been polling well in NW indiana?
+ the Rev Wright coverage…..
The other problem is take a look at some of the other big counties still reporting per that link admin posted. They are going to BO.
From CBS news:
Obama’s win mirrored earlier triumphs in Southern states with large black populations: Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and South Carolina among them. With 53 percent of the votes in North Carolina being reported, Obama was leading Clinton 56 percent to 42 percent.
That says it all.
A win’s a win in IN. And it will push her momentum.
Once we figure how how BO’s dirty tricks messed all this up, she is going to be looking a whole lot better.
What is Lanny saying?
soooo……who is the main player that decides when it is a win?
She is within 12 % in NC, according the elections board link. I wouldn’t trust CBS.
yes, cool it everyone. you are driving me nuts with your pessimism. We will take IN. NC, well let’s just wait and see.
HillGuy – I agree. No matter what happens, it’s the superdelegates who matter at this point, and the huge victories in WY and Kentucky. There’s more crap to pop up about Obama between now and August, I’m sure of it.
Why would she drop out before the convention with so much still to be known about Barack? Let’s say she drops out and he has a complete meltdown over the long hot summer before our very late convention. Then where do we turn? Does she come back in? How does that work?
we’re now down to three counties – two in the nw part of Indiana and 1 on the Ohio state borderline
I love Lanny….he says it as it is.
also the southern part of Indiana looks good – itll help with Kentucky
This is from the Clinton campaign:
Clinton’s Mo Elleithee: “We’re pumped. Senator Obama called this the tie-breaker, and it’s looking very strong for us. We started way behind in both states and made up significant ground tonight. Momentum is clearly on our side, and we’re going to take that momentum to West Virginia, Kentucky, and the remaining states.”
Clinton’s Jay Carson: “We have won the state that Sen. Obama said was a tie-breaker and we’ve won the swing voters Democrats need to win in a general and it’s on to the May contests and beyond.”
Percent Votes
Hillary Clinton (DEM) 42.85% 540,775
Mike Gravel (DEM) 0.80% 10,036
Barack Obama (DEM) 54.89% 692,822
No Preference (DEM) 1.47% 18,512
1,262,145
What is Lanny saying?
What did Lanny say? WTH happened to this board? Chin up y’all.
What’s Lanny said? Not in the mood to watch the TV news, I had enough earlier today..
for NC. right now, she is within 12%
FWIW, her margin in IN is now back up to almost 40,000.
LaPorte is Hillary’s by 4%
LaPorte is going for hill barely
Yes La porte is splitting even
Clinton’s Jay Carson: “We have won the state that Sen. Obama said was a tie-breaker and we’ve won the swing voters Democrats need to win in a general and it’s on to the May contests and beyond.”
YES YES YES
Hillary got Laporte, In county! with 51 percent reporting
still waiting on Lake county but if you look at all the surronding counties its all going Hillary
she is taking laprote very close though come on hill
If LaPorte can go even more strongly for Hill and Union County comes out in full force, we might be able to offset Lake County if necessary.
I think Hillary’s campaign will come out aggressively tomorrow to highlight the true facts of the voting tonight. I don’t think she will give an inch—she will go onward to Kentucky and West Virginia and keep up the campaign.
Although our battle may seem uphill, at some point we will reach the other side of the goal line. We need to hang in there…
talked about MI and FL and how BO is trying to change the rules….I did not hear the first part as I am not watching cnn much. I got the feeling they were trashing hillary for tryin to change the rules and Lanny told them NO it is Obama that is changing the rules.
Anyone else see it. I changed the channel after he stopped as I cannot watch cnn at all.
This is a nail biter.
there’s still two counties – Union and Lake
I will donate to her again tomorrow. Not on a good computer tonight.
That Bellweather county, Howard County, Hillary is winning with 73%
ok, only 11% of the laporte pop. is AA though…
she is gonna beat him hopefully in his backyard and opfrahs..thats should be the talk right there..not no north carolina
He was supposed to take Laporte strongly, King said that
They made up the “rules” about FL and MI last winter, ad hoc. And now they’re acting as if they were the Ten Commandments.
Someone needs to pass out the DNC Rules and Regulations. The Rules Committee f*cked up by stripping FL and MI of all delegates. The rules allow for 1/2. They went beyond, what the rules called for.
lake county seems tailor made for Bwak. It’s the 31st richest county in the USA.
Hey this means only upward in indiana guys!
I have invested my time, money, and energy in Hillary Clinton. I expect her to see this thing through to the end. I will be very angry if she does not.
racial makeup of Lake County, Indiana:
the racial makeup of the county was 80.11% White, 6.94% Black or African American, 0.28% Native American, 3.90% Asian, 0.05% Pacific Islander, 6.72% from other races, and 2.01% from two or more races.
who decides the projected winner?
ABC News also noting that the AA vote is responsible for the NC win. His win of NC ain’t all that grand once the demos get broken down.
^^ o nvm, that’s an old census.
the newer 2005 census shows that the pop there is 68.8% white, about 18.2% latino and only 7% AA.
oh shoot. nvm, forget everything I said.
cnn is full of it.
^^ sorry, wrong lake county guys, here is the actual info:
According to 2005 Census estimates 58.6% of Lake County’s population was non-Hispanic whites, 26.2% African-American, 13.7% Latino and 1.0% Asian.[5] In 2000 there were 181,633 households out of which 32.80% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 48.70% were married couples living together, 16.60% had a female householder with no husband present, and 30.10% were non-families. 25.80% of all households were made up of individuals and 9.60% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.64 and the average family size was 3.19.
even brett hume is wondering about that gary in it looks suspicious..lake county last always..why
Lake county will not report any totals until they finish counting the 11, 000 absentee ballots and say it may be midnight before they release numbers.
Bwak is intentionally playing games with lake county.
the rurals must not have come out as big for her as we thoguht they would. every poll had her up big here. 60 of nc’s counties not counted according to the state site.
t4h, I read that rural turnout wasn’t great there.
Can someone please post the latest NC numbers?
rick, she’s not going to drop out. She knows that BO can’t win and she’s our only hope. She’s going to try and save these isidots from their own stupidity whether they like it or not.
nc-55-o-43h
That’s weird. Everywhere else she had great rural turnout. What happened?
Seems to me BO’s supporters are trying to put off reporting lake county as late as possible. Hill will be speaking soon, they just said.
If Hillary’s campaign released a statement that they won IN, then obviously they did. Obama’s trying to drag this out to prevent her from claiming a win before everyone goes to bed.
according to Fox its 56-42 with 79 reporting but on NC state primary returns its 55-43
Clintondem99
Agreed, as I said before, this is very suspicious. Hillary has won IN (or her campaign staff wouldn’t have said what they said) but the tactics of Lake County delays the networks from calling IN for her and makes it seem like she just ekes out the win. How dare BO say that he is running a positive campaign yet his supporters pull this nonsense. I will never vote for BO–and I have never voted for any other candidate but a Democrat my entire life–and this is an example of why. His supporters are bad news!
That, and he is grossly inexperienced and not up to the job.
How he is dragging this out?
Do you have the link to the state results?
More of a reason to never vote for him.
CNN- Lanny just told Donna Brazille that “WE” are going to convention!!
The resolution is go to convention donna.
i think terry m should be calling lake county or someone or all of us democrats and get those votes reported now..took the prime time spot from her is what he did the jerk creep..
Does IN have a state results page like NC does?
CNN- Donna asking Lanny to fight in the green room and fight.
hillary will win IN.
don’t worry guys. even Bob Beckel said it and Lake County is probably going to be going to Hillary, that’s why the BamBam campaign is using what influence they have to delay it.
This is not a difficult situation tonight…..hillary won Indiana where bo was supposed to…See how the media is spinning this loss of bo?
someone needs to give Donna Brazille a slap of reality.
dedfg, He asked to have Lake Co. polls stay open later; he pulled the same stunt in OH.
Thanks Paula. How does he get away with this stuff.
HRC INDIANA ACCEPTANCE SPEECH NOw on cnn.
evan bayh tALKING NOW,
GO wATCH,
Go Lanny!
I’d like to give Donna more than a slap, my Hummer was made to roll over large objects.
It seems like some here are buying into the media/Obama camp spin. If she takes IN by whatever percentage, it is big trouble for Obambi. This is a big night for Hillary. It proves once and for all that his Achilles heel is middle-class white voters. What real victory can he claim in taking NC?
Hillary will win KY and WVA, and is picking up speed in OR.
With IN, she is in the driver’s seat. Hence the spin. It’s just damage control from the other side. Please, Hillary deserves better than having her own people lose heart. Ignore the media; let’s move on to the next states. No one said it was going to be easy.
Please no violent language, that bothers me and I had to say that.
What paddy said.
agreed Paddy.
+ NC is looking amazing. Obama had a 30% advantage before polls were even closed simply because 90% of AA’s were voting for him. Hillary obviously got a larger white vote to whittle that down to 14%, and the margin will only shrink with the night.
I hate those Biotches on CNN. Somebody please let us know when Hill is on. I’d rather watch water drop from a faucet than to watch these freaks.
I second what paddy said!!
fox says clinton camp thinks fraud in gary is possible
wagner, please none of that. While I think Brazille is a silly woman, that is not nice to say of anyone.
Exactly and by constantly stating that this is a HUGE loss for obama has impact. We need to constantly be supporting Hillary.
She doesnt look happy
turn to fox
Yes, that’s a really obnoxious set on CNN. I’m glad I don’t watch
“Too early to call” IN. That’s a new spin.
Hillary – smart choice on cnn now.
I wouldn’t be surprised if there was fraud.
Admin, here is a suggestion for tomorrow’s by-line: OBAMA CAN’T CLOSE THE DEAL
Hillary just repeated exactly what I posted here earlier
justmein, Hillary?
yes, fox is better, ignore cnn.
yes – Hill and isnt it unusual that both Clinton and Chelsea is on stage with Hillary
You’re right Paddy, Obama has proven time after time he cannot close the deal!
Look to the right of Hillary. There is that aa male, with the boxing gloves. Remember Philly?
YES WE WILL! YES WE WILL!!! YES WE WILL!!!
Dang she looks gorgeous tonight
She will keep on truckin
I really love her
but why is the enthusiasm different tonight then in Philadelphia?
She does look fantastic!
something is NOT right – look at Chelsea and Bill!
and did she ask for money?
I find it quite enthusiatic.
She asks every time
Everything is right…..what are you going on about just?
I don’t see anything wrong.
Just wanted to let people here know that there were two factual errors in the post which I linked to shortly ago. One was a minor point, the other a more important point. Both have been corrected.
I should also say that I just emailed Adam Nagourney from the NYT about his incorrect analysis on what the results show from tonight. I do hope he takes a look at what I wrote and revises his faulty conclusion. He is a good writer but he has taken one too many sips of the Kool Aid, it seems.
Can we PLEASE count Gary, IN now?
look at Chelsea and Bill they look like they are going to cry I dont know remmy me deaf so I dont hear but am more into body language
you are trying so hard justme to bring this down….why?
JustMein, I just think they had hoped they could win NC. I don’t think they look significantly bummed..
I am enthused that she won the tie-breaker
Bill looks like he loves her. That’s all I see.
Can’t see Chelsea.
Chelsea loves her, too.
listening to Hillary makes me realize how selfish and childish Obama is.
I really wish she would stand up to has fraud, why doesnt’ she call him out on it. I do think Chelsea is looking like she is on the verge of crying.
dedfg, you could add arrogant to that list.
SactoDem, I agree. Inspite of all his claims Bo never ran a positive campaign. I am in the same quandary as you are I have always voted for a Democrat.
Hillary is just so good….
Obama is a bum and this should inspire us to work harder for Hill. I have noticed that Admin and the posters on this board have done a great job supporting our girl. It ain’t over yet. We must continue to work hard and fight for Hill as she will work hard and fight for us. That women is phenominal.
count those votes…..lol
Does anyone have the link to the official results in NC?
I have noticed that Admin and the posters on this board have done a great job supporting our girl.
You are so right!
im glad her supporters count there votes we need that right in deans face and db..
(Cheer up, guys!! Hillary won IN. The tie breaker. We still got this.)
DJIA-
I’d love to help campaign in SD. I live in Sioux City, so I’m assuming you live around there.
Hopefully you see this post!
never give up guys. Hillary is going to be the nominee. Envision her debating mcCain! Now THAT will be fun!
I like the chant…count those votes….count those votes!
Who’s confirmed Indiana
I though CBS confirmed?
turn off cnn…..doom and gloom time.

I am here! we will be living close soon! I am moving near vermillion,Sd so somewhere with in 30 miles of it
wasnt her speech shorter then normal? Im sorry if I sound like a downer I just feel kinda let down
From the Associated Press:
“Hillary Rodham Clinton lost her last best chance to score an upset on Barack Obama’s turf Tuesday, putting the Illinois senator a step closer to becoming the country’s first black presidential nominee. (Snip) Obama’s victory there was tempered by the fact that Clinton beat him handily among white voters, extending her argument to superdelegates who will decide the nomination that she will be the stronger general-election candidate.”
There’s tomorrow’s talking point. At least the print media isn’t afraid to tell the truth.
BTW, there’s a big difference between wanting something and doing something. I want to walk on the moon some day, but I never will. Damn.
adkriech, forgot to add that i live up by lake okoboji right now, but hubby took a job as a GM in vermillion and so he is out there now
You know journalists, the media could be reading this board and getting ideas …. I am happy she won Indiana…it was supposed to be the big tie-breaker!
and bo face count those votes these supporters knows what going on for sure..yep hillary said 48 states that isnt right we need all 50..
Obama cant close the deal or seal it
she is so strong and happy
Djia-
Sweet!! I’m excited! Drop me a line sometime at adkriech599@yahoo.com. Hopefully we could start chatting or something so we won’t be total strangers when it comes time to campaign.
Moving away from the media spin, what can tonight’s results tell us about the current state of this contest? In NC, he wins a higher percentage of AA and she gets more of the white vote than in previous southern black belt states. He lost the white vote in IN. So more polarization between whites and blacks and his declining credibility among white voters. The SDs are going to give this some serious consideration. Since they will decide the nomination, it is their perceptions that matter the most.
I think everyone agrees, either openly or secretly, with her win in IN, cemented by further gains in the next couple of weeks, she will have the best suit of cards to play with regards to the Supers. Don’t think for a minute the Supers pay that much attention to the media. They are in the politics business and they know how the media works. And they know by now that the media is biased towards Obama. So they will discount most of what it says.
We are providing Hillary with the critical wins she needs to win.
hi hillfans, i have to admit a tough ass night. i wish lake county can get off their assses and report the damn numbers. hell, the polls closed there before nc and they surpassed the votes counted.
adkriech…….sounds good!
I’ll do that!
What the fuck happened to SUSA again, they were off by 4 in PA and now off by 8 here.
Brazille got called out on CNN tonight by of all people Campbell Brown:
BROWN: Hold on. I want to ask Donna something. Hold on. I want to ask Donna something because you have been on these panels time and time again with us as an undecided voter, and you sound very much –
BRAZILE: I’m not undecided.
BROWN: Uncommitted?
BRAZILE: I’m undeclared.
BROWN: Undeclared. There you go. Well it sounds very much — Hey, no —
BRAZILE: Words matter.
BROWN: Words matter. It sounds very much to me tonight like you have made up your mind.
BRAZILE: No. It sounds like I am ready to unify my party. I’m ready to bring the party back together and I’m sick and tired of hearing people say my party, my party. This is the Democratic Party. We have stood through thick and thin and I’m sick of the divisions. That’s all I’m saying.
I’m not saying that this is about — I think Hillary is a fabulous candidate and she is doing a remarkable job in the closing days of this Campaign. But Barack Obama’s also a great candidate and I respect John McCain’s service. Now what does that make me?
justme,
Tears can come from love and pride — and relief and joy.
I heard that too admin….I laughed when I heard it.
moon…..fraud happened
1950democrat – I agree it does – I just have a negative feeling – maybe its just me being disappointed – I know we will do well in West Virginia but I just hope she comes out strong – tonight was really a nail biter but I’m not sure you know
terrondt : This is supposed to be Hillary’s night because she won Indiana…bo was expected all along to win NC…..the problem is the media spun an obvious and expected win as if it was a great victory.
The bottom line is that she beat Obama in a state that could have gone either way. She was down and she rose above and won it.
brazilla, can kiss my arse!
she is not undeclared……words do matter and we all could throw her words back at her
The funny thing is that Obama has won by exactly the same amount in NC that Hillary did in PA, 215,000. They cancelled each other out.
So hopefully the gains in Indiana and WV and Kentucky will lift that vote up.
That’s the problem with polls. The only real poll is the votes, and sometimes I worry that all the discussion of polls ends up depressing turnout.
And turnout is what it’s all about.
djia: moon…..fraud happened
I am with you….how come the numbers on cnn for IN have not changed hardly in the last hour?
justme,
Tears can come from love and pride — and relief and joy. The tie-breaker state is won. The hardest contests are over. Maybe they’re glad it will be easier from now on.
Ok guys its very encouraging that Hillary has won all the counties in that top NW corner bordering illinois.
Well, being as that Campbell Brown is the most impartial, hard-knuckled, professional journalist ever, this is not surprising. She’s just doing her JOB!
when will cnn declare her the winner?
The Test is Indiana, who ever wins Indiana will Clinch the Nomination (so says the messiah Obama, and I think his wife said it too).
Even with suspected Faud, Senator Clinton wins IN.
Even not campaigning in Guam, Senator Clinton loses by only 7 votes.
She closed his 30% win in NC to 12% and still going down.
Although he takes a large % of the AA, he cannot close the Deal with the other Demographics.
There are no Caucuses in the GE, and the whole country votes on one day.
The Democratic Party IQ has gone down if they do not see who can win in Nov 2008.
so basically e are back to square one-e lost 200,000 votes in nc so now must gain them plus way more to get the pop vote?
“Even with suspected Faud, Senator Clinton wins IN”
Not only that, but with what BO spending 3 times as much as her? still can’t close the deal…
If Brazille truly wanted to have a united democratic party, she would not have used draconian measures, when she and other committee members decided to strip FL of ALL their delegates. The rules allow for 50%, not 100%. She is lying through her teeth. It was a set-up for waffles.
Since when, are absentee ballots counted before results are released? This smells very, very fishy and dirty; especially, since this county is next door to the infamous Chicago, which is known for voter fraud.
Don’t get cocky yet guys, that one county disturbs me.
Guys we need to start having a HEAD start with WEST VIRGINIA – its only 7 days from today that they vote so let’s start working hard to ensure WEST VIRGINIA GOES BIG FOR HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A poster on the official Hillary blog said it’s mathematically impossible for Obama to win IN at this point. I hope that poster is right!
admin,
lead next thread with clip of Obama saying a few weeks ago that Indiana would be the tie breaker for the nomination
hEARD bRAZILE EARLY ON CNN SAY THAT DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAD EXPANDED THEIR BASE, AND IT WASN’T JUST WORKING CLASS ANYMORE – AGAIN, KICKING WHITE AMERICA TO THE CURB. THIS IS CONTROVERSIAL, AND I’M NOT TRYING TO DEFEND OUR FELLOW AA HRC SUPPORTERS, BUT WITH THE AA DEMOGRAPHICS 90+% FOR bho, I THINK IT’S TIME TO HAVE A “WHITE UNITE FOR HILLARY” UNDER THE RADARE, AT ANY RATE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS BEING HELD HOSTAGE BY THE AA IN THIS COUNTRY WITH THREATS OF RIOTING AT THE CONVENTION. WE ALL BELIEVE HE IS RAISING ZILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM OVERSEAS (DIRTY MONEY) AND SHE HAS DONE AMAZINGLY WELL CONSIDERING THE DNC IS AGAINST HER, THE BIG MEDIA BLASTS HER, AND SHW IS RUNNING AGAINST HOME-GROWN TERRORISM. I’M READY TO CALL IT LIKE I SEE IT.
BHO IS A DANGEROUS ANTI-AMERICAN WITH TERRORIST TIES, INEXPERIENCED, POOR SENATE RECORD. THAT’S IT. WE HAVE TO PUT IT OUT THERE BIG TIME THAT WE WHITES WILL NOT IN ANY WAY SUPPORT HIM AND MAKE OUR CASE GO PRIME TIME. IT’S BEYOND RACE – IT’S TERRORISM AND ANTI-AMERICANISM, AND WE’RE TIRED OF THE WELL-HEELED LATTE’S AND NATION OF ISLAM-TYPES HIJACKING OUR PARTY.
jen, it’s still possible.
Comment from NoQuarter that caught my eye:
Donna Brazile said on CNN tonight that the Democratic Party is changing and “we” don’t need the votes of working class people anymore. She stated the Party is younger and more educated and that is the New Democratic Party.
It will be on You Tube soon I’m sure. It was a radical statement.”
Also this news tidbit:
Fox said today that Hillary is forcing a Rules Challenge this month.
DEFEND=OFFEND RADARE=RADAR SHW=SHE
speaking of fraud, you know, you have to wonder why BO was so confident to say this would be a tie breaker……
Yeah Brazille put her foot in it tonight. Sorry but it was telling, the elitists and black factions have taken over the Democratic party, they think they dont need the hispanics and white blue collars.
What a bitch i thought when she said that.
The results seem to be very consistent as NC was always going to go his way and Indiana was going to be close. The reason for some disappointment, imo, is that we all probably unrealistically thought she would pull within single digits in NC and secondly, it is taking forever to declare her the victor in Indiana which is exhausting to all of us. As many previously posted, the early victor sort of carries the news cycle , particularly here, where we won’t have a definitive answer to after midnight.
In the end, Hillary did what she needed to do by winning Indiana. I also think she is being very classy about unifying the party, but many like me, I suspect, will simply never be able to support a nominee so unqualaified as Mr. Obama.
As for the challenge in the Rules Committee (meets May 31), apparently we have 50+% there so all it needs is guts, er, cajones.
See riverdaughter.confluence; there was a piece on HufPo by Edsall but riverdaughter takes the parts worh reading and has better comments.
Also see Craig Crawford: h t t p : / / blogs.cqpolitics.com/trailmix/2008/04/where-the-dem-rules-really-lea.html
By the DNC rules, in Florida Hillary should get half her delegates and Obama NONE, because he broke the no-campaigning pledge.
MOONONPLUTO:
WHO APPOINTED BRAZILE, DEAN AND PELOSI GOD? ATHEIST BILL AYERS? HAVE NEVER SEEN SO MANY ANTI-CHRISTS IN ONE SENTENCE. BRAZILE, IN ESSENCE, AGAIN SAID THE WORKING CLASS IS INCONSEQUENTIAL. THE REPUBLICANS LOOK AFTER THE WEALTHY. SO WHERE THE HELL DO THE REST OF US GO?
If we win HUGE in WV, it will look great. Let’s win WV by 20+ % people. It looks good. Lower AA vote, more lowerclass/working class white votes, union voters, women voters, conservative dems, we can do this. WV needs to be huge, and if it is, it will carry us into KY in a bigger way than is expected. Let’s wipe the mat with him in West Virginia.
SO WHY CANNOT OBAMA CLOSE THE DEAL?????
hawk, I agree with you, let’s start working hard for West Virginia, lets bring in a lot of money for Hillary so she can campaign hard in WV, KY, OR and the rest. I think if she pulls a big win there she should be able to do well in the coming states. Don’t wait until the last minute but START NOW!
So, what does Donna Brazille think the other 50% of the democratic party is? I guess, older adults, white voters, latinos, working class people, and seniors are chopped liver? What an arrogant statement on her part. She just threw all of Hillary supporters (the other 50% of the democratic party) under the bus. I’ll take my vote, hold my nose, and vote for McCain in the Fall.
“Donna Brazile said on CNN tonight that the Democratic Party is changing and “we” don’t need the votes of working class people anymore. She stated the Party is younger and more educated and that is the New Democratic Party.”
The rise of the neo-libs: made wealthy from globalization, highly educated, white, elitist, a left-wing version of the neo-cons.
She is publicly admitting their existence for the first time. This is a war for the heart and soul of the Democratic Party.
From April:
“You know, Sen. Clinton is more favored in Pennsylvania and I’m right now a little more favored in North Carolina, so Indiana right now may end up being the tiebreaker. So we want to work very hard in Indiana.”
Never thought I would be a McCain swing voter- gay, Latino, college student, poor, university democrats executive board member- but I may have to. 4 years of McCain for 8 years of Hillary.
Paddy: that’s quite a statement that Donna made
gay latino college student, stop it,sounds fun, hehe.
hawk
I can relate to you! its so frustrating! but we want to work hard for HILLARY! SHE WILL DO WELL IN WEST VIRGINIA – we just have to work hard
are we waiting on mail in voters and are those the one that support hill the most?
Hawk me neither, pure democrat, gay, half irish, middle aged voter voting for McCain if that SOB gets it.
gay and pink, hmm something in common
How does she think the Dems can win a general election without the middle class?
why is everyone holding onto just Lake county theres another county – Union
No idea, does she magically think 50% of democratic voters in 50 states will suddenly turn into AA’s before november.
She’s apparently completely forgotten Reagan, and 1984 (and I don’t mean the novel).
I won’t vote for Obama. I know AA feel a connection to Obama but he’s unelectable.
nc says that the economy is the most important issue! Really? Well those must of have been Hillary supporters!
Union has about 7291 people in it
union is tiny, lake county is 8% of the state population.
Lol, people don’t think we will swing us Latinos….we will.
Well, if after the credentials fight he ends up as the nominee we just have to make sure he loses like the dems did in ‘72 and ‘84 so his national political career will be over for good.
we need a video ad for us clinton supporters who will not vote obama,
and that we are “mad as hell” at the party throwing us under the bus!
those of you that make videos on you tube………get to work!
latino’s will go republican very easily , they have done before. Thats why California is a problem and the Dems seem to be taking it for granted.
Its getting closer and closer that I will become a republican. I will never throw this country away on the black liberation movement. I used to work in the prisons of Texas and the Moslems have been working those prisons for a long time converting Christian black men. I personally believe this is an assault on America by Islamic fundamentalist and helped by the idiots like Ayers!
West Virginia next week??? To start now commenting in local papers, the list is up at
h t t p : / / http://www.ironmyvote.com/comment-local-papers.htm
And McCain has unusually high cross-over appeal — he was always a very dangerous opponent for Dems.
So I guess the so-called New Democratic Party (NDP) as envisioned by Dean & CO, will bring together the neo-libs, AAs, radical upper middle class youth, and some old school (big government) liberals.
If the NDP becomes a reality, the Republicans will have in their tent, the white working class, religious conservatives, old school (small government) conservatives, pro-family Latinos and Catholics.
something with “not ready to make nice” by the dixie chicks would be perfect !
Forgot to say, if someone finds a lively thread in a local paper/online comment site, pls post the url here so others can join in. Also email it to me at 1950democrat /at/ gmail.com
Some of us have a hard time monitoring those sites but can come in easier if someone sends a link direct to the comment string, like hillaryresponders.com does for national papers/sites
confloyd, i have seen it up close, i am working and living in Turkey, the islamists have been trying to subvert here for years, it is happening big time in the uk, where i lived before and now they are at it in the US, thats why i dont trust Obama and people can’t see whats going on through the pie in the sky.
Call the DNC tomorrow and demand that Ms. Brazille resign from her position with the DNC. Now I see how she managed to screw up Gore’s 2000 campaign. What an ignorant, angry bitch. Wake up America, we’re being taken hostage by the PC police. Don’t they realize this will cause blowback? You can’t always get your way by holding your breath and stomping your feet and having Al Sharpton threaten the public. They will silently shut you out. Again. Back to the Nixon era.
NDP, almosts sounds like the NBPP, this is getting real scarey. Financially I am fine but what about the rest of the poor people? Hillary will not let us down, she will fight behind the scenes so as not to break the party up totally!
fuck, only 20K ahead now, the theft is in folks.
now 51 to 49
WTF?!?!?!?!? its not 51-49 H barely squeaking by with Lake now reporting in (28 percent reporting)
why did it take so long in lake county?
Holy shit. Two percent Indiana…leading.
Marino County still not finished, no reports from Union County!
….and isn’t it interesting they knew to wait to declare until this county?
Sorry I couldn’t be here earlier for a little bucking up guys.
Nothing to feel bad about IN THE LEAST should she hold on in Bucks Co.
Fucking insanity on the airwaves, talk that BO closed the deal?!?!
GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE.
I DID NOT hear that in Hill’s speech AT ALL.
Lake Co….75% Obama 25 % Clinton
i knew it, they are going to steal it.
I think their was fraud….
Moonpluto, how can any normal American vote for this man? He is a danger to national security. I expect sometime Hillary should blow this man’s cover even if it costs her her career. We must stop him from taking over, legally of coarse, no tactics like his. We are above that kind of corruption!
think about it…..how arrogant BO was to say it was a tie breaker….there was fraud
So then, where are the women voters? Is it back to the old divide and rule game that we have now? I feel this is the last chance for the Democrats. There is no meaningful place in the NDP for women, just as passive supporters.
We should give this some serious thought. Which party, if either, will best represent our interests? Should there be a Third Party for women?
wagner1, that’s a good point about the 2000 election.
If she is this messed up about what a winning coalition looks like, no wonder Gore didn’t win enough to make FL irrelevant.
paddy: when are women going to speak up for themselves?
paddyforhill, yes it is time for a party of the people, these two have shown their arsh’s tonight. He is such a cheater. OMG, is he ahead now!!
CNN, turn it on.
Those communist mf’s have thrown this election just like Guam. Bully terrorists. This is corruption at it’s worst. Even Bob Beckel said they were crooked and Chicago-style politics going on. “How much do you need (votes)?” is how it works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS GOD AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even CNN doesnt believe, they know somethings fishy.
Awkward……this is not right. It is sooo cose to Chicago….dirty shady politics, I wonder if anyone dead voted for Obama?
Hammond Mayor said Hillary won his city by about 500 votes and the count was turned in at 7:30
I bet half of cook county was in lake county today.
did you see CNN – the Mayor of Hammond – a supporter of Hillary said he and other mayors of towns in that county of Lake already turned the votes in at 730 and the absentees were already voted but its being held back by the lake county government
i bet stuffing boxes and switching was in full force.
It would be absolutely great if there was voter fraud. That would spell the end of Obama. We should have been volunteering for his campaign in NE IN. I would have particularly liked doing the GOTV at the graveyards.
http://www.talkleft.com/story/2008/5/6/235033/7074
“In March, Clay predicted the race would come down to Gary, telling the Northwest Indiana and Illinois Times that tonight on CNN, “They are going to point at Indiana and say Hillary Clinton is leading by one point but Gary ain’t come in yet.”
What is going on here?? Check out this story on TalkLeft
paddy: there was fraud. no matter how they spin this.
Most of the vote from gary should be in since CNN is saying that the 28% total from lake county is from Gary
URGENT. There is reportedly a video somewhere, referred to on TM of OBAMA POLItICKING at polling stations in Lake County. We MUST get this. FDRJim has already contacted the county. PLEASE HELP. It appears they might be pulling a Florida 2000. We need to FIND THAT VIDEO NOW or other proof this is being done.
Norma is correct. We need that footage if it exists.
“Remember Lake County,” AKA “Cook County,” IL.
This smells very bad.
MSNBC Russert said Hillary cancelled all of her morning appearances tomorrow, true or not? is this troubling?
M. Barone on FOX suggesting if rest of outstanding county is similar to earlier IND results BO won’t have enough.
Hey, did the website go down for a few minutes for anyone else? I think the site traffic went way up tonight!
PLEASE SEARCH LAKE COUNTY INFO AND ANYTHING ON TM
He will pursue this. Be assured. This stinks. Obamas new politics? And NO paper trail?
and the wolves are out as never before.
Rove saying it effectively is over.
Bill & Hill know better.
FUCK THEM ALL!
hallow, it’s been AGES since I could sign on and I keep getting kicked off from busy server
Rove wants Hussein, he has said this before.
I have already emailed Limbaugh about Lake County. I’m sure he’s already revising his Cook County, IL speech as we speak.
Chicago Politics, folks. These guys are pros at fraud.
Oh, and I should let you guys know that a Chicago law firm who has or had two of its members tied up with Rezko and contributions to Obama was spending an awful lot of time looking at my site yesterday. That’s all I’m going to say for now.
Looks like some people are getting nervous.
Maybe nervous enough to ‘make things happen’ in Lake County, Chicago-style.
We’ll see.
I’ve decided today that no matter what, I’m switching my party affiliation to Republican from Democratic. The reasons are simple. Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi and all of the other power-hungry democratic latte liberals in the DNC hate the Clintons. They hate the Clinton years and they hate the scandals and are willing to give anything and do anything to take the nomination away from Hillary. Hence, the refusal to count Michigan or Florida or have revotes, and the support of a 1-year- freshman senator with no notable accomplishments, record of bi-partisan work, or serious leadership history by party hacks like fat Ted Kennedy and horse-faced John Kerry.
It’s these same hacks who voted against Universal Healthcare in the first place to destroy the dream of Harry Truman and a possible additional accomplishment of Hillary, and who are constantly calling for her to drop out, even since New Hampshire. I will support Hillary Clinton to the death, but I will never let my finger support that greasy, dirty, lying, foolish, incompetent, and corrupt Senator Obama who unfortunately represents my current state of Illinois. He has told to many lies, had too many contradictions, and played too many instances of TRUE dirty Chicago-style politics for me to even consider voting for him over Senator John McCain who I find at most half-as-horrible as the vile empty-suit that is currently the democratic frontrunner.
If Barack Obama is to win the democratic nomination, I, and many of my family and friends and people that I have called, will deliver Senator McCain a thing only of dreams: a unanimous sweeping Republican victory in November.
I can stand 4 more years of Bush-like politics, though I admit I don’t want to. What I won’t be able to stand, however, is a politician as corrupt, self-serving, conniving, lying, and america-hating as Senator Barack Hussein Obama sitting in the Oval Office and I will use 150% of my heart to make sure this dangerous man does not EVER be put into the position to lead our Great Nation.
Please join me today and sending a message to the corrupt and self-serving officials, including Senator Obama, at the Democratic Nation Comittee. A message that we will not take their lies and their backroom corruption anymore and should they nominate Senator Barack Hussein Obama, we would vote for the terrible Bush-policies over the frightening prospects of this man in the White House any day, any time, any year.
Democracy at its finest is when it is played fairly with no personal vendettas, and when the TRULY qualified individuals ascend to prominence. Sadly, none of these qualities can be said of Senator Barack Obama or the democratic party as a whole.
dang it!!!!!!!
I keep getting that “suspended account” message!!! arrrrggghhh
MJS, you are not alone. I am considering the same thing, and there are a large number of others who feel the same way.
Let’s get this straight:
Obama won another Black Belt state in North Carolina which will be going GOP in November. That joins the list with AL, MS, LA, GA…
He got 90+% of the AA vote. AA’s make up but 11% of the general electorate. That’s it. So wins in places like NC, when properly put into context and with the backing of 90+% mean very little in November.
BHO may pull out IN, a state which neighbors IL and which has a significant amount of its populace receiving Obamavision from IL. And this is an ‘upset?’
Rove understands the score. He knows that this is Obama’s last big moment before WV, KY and PR, and he knows how damn easy it will be to beat him in the general. It’s time to pump up the patsy, and Rove knows it .
I hope her backers put up the money for a recount
I am having trouble on the site too. I think the brown shirts are trying to take down our site tonight. Long live the New Democratic Party!
This Mayor of gary is full of shit! I want the justice department to launch an investigation into lake county and gary
ok that’s like 6 times now in the last hour or so that i have been locked out of this site!
Maybe her year is 2012.
He might win by voter fraud! WV, KY, PR will help weaken him enough for McCain to win. I know I sound like a disloyal democrat but I think he has to be defeated.
Let me guess, the mayor of Gary is black?
Hillary won
Yay Hillary wins Indiana over the fraud of Lake County. What was wrong with the mayor of Gary?? You obviously don’t have the best people working if it takes 4 hours after the polls have closed to get results.
justme,
“MSNBC Russert said Hillary cancelled all of her morning appearances tomorrow, true or not?”
False.
She had previously scheduled no campaign events for Wednesday, as she is traveling to D.C. to meet with uncommitted Super Delegates.
She is back on the campaign trail on Thursday.
And then he tried to get an attitude with Wolf.
warehouse…….we need to keep faith in the clinton machine !
CNN just projected Hillary won Indiana!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!
Funny how the Mayor of Hammond calls out the mayor of Gary and magically the votes all come in. It takes them 5 hours to get tallys from computers???? They were trying to rig it…
rjk1957, I agree! I think the mayor of Gary knew he got ‘caught with his pants down’ and suddently all the numbers comes through!
HILLARY!!!!!!!
Yes, I am sure we won by more than 20k votes. There has been fraud tonight. It’s ugly.
Jesus Christ, what a nail-biter.
Time for me to pony up again – last time I gave $200.44. If anyone wants to match me, I will do it again.
And fuck Donna Fucking Brazille.
Fox has projected IN for Hillary with more votes to come from 1 country!
hillary better not quit!
that gary mayor was dressed down bad! thank god hillary was projected winner!
As for the projected delegate counts Hillary 85, Obama 100 with 2 left to be decided. They can change a few either way when votes per congressional districts are finalized
now I can go and rest in peace for tonight
goodnight!
Here we go again. On to WV! Want to bet the goalposts will be re-set to OR?
It will be the REAL tiebreaker they will say now.
country=county
Y’all coming here for the last stand?
i am donating much more to hillary when my rebate arrives on friday.
anyone who wants to do some research partial lists of pledged and unpledged delegates from some states are available.
hillfans, god knows what would of happened if hillary lost both primaries.
we need to work TWICE as hard to get West Virginia to GO BIG for Hillary! Not these tweakers or close calls but HUGE wins!
Goodnight my dear Hill-family!
http://www.floridademandsrepresentation.org
COUNT OUR VOTES
Please pass this site on again…over and over and over.
terron, she didn’t lose. They have all called IN for her now. But I tell you, there were some votes stolen tonight.
Hillary’s lead should increase but psychologically the media will spin her win as a close loss! I hope she doesn’t even comtemplate taking the VP!
also-those clips of the gary mayor and hammond need to be put up admin.
She won’t. Obama has too much of a baggage. I dont think that’d be a good idea.
texan4hillary, I agree.
THANK YOU GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS HAS BEEN A VERY UNSETTLING EVENING. NO DOUBT SD WILL START TO MOVE SINCE THAT’S WHAT THEY ARE INSTRUCTED TO DO BY BIG MEDIA AND THE AXIS OF EVIL – DNC (DEAN, PELOSI, BRAZILE). AND YOU KNOW WHAT? IF ROVE IS TO THANK – THANK YOU RUSH LIMBAUGH AND SEAN HANNITY. THANK YOU JOE SCARBOROUGH, AND PAT BUCHANAN.
NOW LET’S UNLEASH THE DOGS ON BHO AND THREATEN THEM LIKE THEY THREATEN US. THIS GIVES “WHITE FLIGHT” A WHOLE NEW MEANING AFTER TONIGHT AND BRAZILE’S STATEMENT TO THE WORLD THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY DOESN’T NEED THE WORKING-CLASS ANYMORE. THEY WANNA TALK FEAR. THEY HAD BETTER LEARN WHAT “STRENGTH IN NUMBERS” MEAN. C’MON. LET’S DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GO DONATE TO HILLARY TONIGHT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s time for us to dig in, donate, and demand Fl and Mich be counted now!! The three(3) “D;s” as I like to call them!!! God bless you Hillary, Bill, and Chelsea.
So she did win? I will join you MJS in sending a message to Hussein, Dean, Pelosi,Kennedy and Kerry that they single handed lost millions of voters of the democratic party and sent them mad as hell into the hands of the republicans. I will vow to send McCain and the RNC every bit as much money as I sent Hillary and I will campaign just as hard for him to assure victory over lying, race baiting, misogynic Hussein!
How is it possible that the so called post racial candidate could divide the races? If he loses I fear that AA will be blamed by the democratic party.

No. they will blame Bill and Hillary…
WV is the next step, and then we must do everything to win KY (not too hard), Puerto Rico (should be easy), and Oregon (tough, but let’s at least try, lots o’ liberal environmentalists). Montana? maybe….South Dakota? probably not, but who knows? And then let’s get a strategy to argue why we need this nomination for our party’s sake. WE won the swing states, WE won the democratic states, WE won the popular vote with the 2 disenfranchised swing states incuded, WE have the winning voter coalition, WE have the candidate with National security creds to go against John McCain, WE have a candidate that is making history, WE have the candidate that has not and will not give up. Not the others.
hillfans, this burns me up. HOW IN THE HELL IT TAKES 4 PLUS HOURS TO TO START GETTING VOTES FROM A COUNTY? FORGET ABOUT THE FULL VOTES COUNTED, JUST GETTING ANY VOTE FOR HOURS ON END? WTF, HUGE COUNTIES LIKE NY OR LA COUNTIES NEVER HAD A LONG WAIT LIKE THIS. AND THAT’S MILLIONS OF VOTES IN THOSE MEGA COUNTIES.
Has Hillary donated more money to their campaign???
Is there anyway to investigate/prove voter fraud?
Is it really true that Hillary canceled all her Wednesday appearances?
I am trying to be optimistic.
I am really trying.
hallow, not true. She is in DC.
jr – I’m pretty sure you’re a troll.
No, she didn’t have any campaign appearances planned for Wednesday (according to a TM poster).
terrondt, these are Hoosiers we are dealing with. A lot like Hobbits. Takes them so long to do anything. I am glad we are folding up our tents and getting out of there. Any state with two times zones (for half of the year) can’t be all that normal.
birdgal
fdrjim is on it already. He may be on his way to Lake County as we speak.
Bottom line. The DNC doesnt want Florida and Michigan to count. It will upset the applecart. It breaks my heart. We need a new party. One that will care about the voters.
hawk – Really? I keep hearing that she canceled morning shows at least, but I don’t have any sources. Hope it isn’t just Obamabots just trying to spread lies to make things better for their sh*tty candidate.
Oh my God, what a relief. I needed to go to bed, but i just couldn;t. I hope that video of that mayor is posted. i;d love to see that sneaky bastard. Of course, the goal posts will change again. Indiana was the tie-breaker, but since Hillary won, no longer. Hill, Bill and Chelsea must be totally exhausted. As jbstonesfan said above, God bless them.
hallow, i am one of the hardest of hardcore hillfans here. it is only human to feel a little down. but we have to keep chargin ahead. until hillary says otherwise we should keep supporting her run to the end. that is the only way i will give up.
Thank you, Norma. What a heartbreaking situation.
paddy4Hill
I went to college in IN and it took me forever to get use to the time zones and still had problems with them when making reservations to fly home.. The time zones zigzag north to south and parts of the state follow daylight savings time and other parts do not.
I ma going to bed, we won, that’s what counts. He can spin and spin, we won by more than 1 vote, so we won. Cheating occurred tonight (see video on TM hot topics). And we have some brightspots coming up soon in the forms of a beautiful, bluegrass southern state and a beautiful tropical island, and coming up next, a state nestled in the mountains that has the most union members per capita than anyother state. Let’s go y’all. We will do this.
Interesting, isn’t it, that it took one mayor to call out the other and get the votes in.
Mr. New Politics looks like the Dirtiest Old Politics.
watch fox with schoen and hannity. they say no need to drop out. schoen says she has wv and ky etc..
HRC has a Women’s forum in DC tomorrow I think. A fundraiser. Women plan to protest at the DNC before the event.
LOL, paddy4hill. i hear ya.
Tonight, BO suffered a humiliating loss in a neighboring state, over 20% of which receives only favorable news about BO from the Chicago media market.
There was fraud tonight in IN but if Hillary calls them on it, she’ll be accused of playing the race card!
hannity tonight is being fair and honest……….so i won’t boycott him or greta
but down with the rest of them!!
OB is already advertising on TV here in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico cannot be taken for granted. As soon as classes are over (next week), i’m going to do everything I can here. A lot of bigwigs from both of the big parties are in the Obama camp. So far, there is really not much interest, but as the date approaches it;s likely change.
you warehouse……I sick to death of being afraid of that stupid race card…..even when they don’t use the race card they get blamed for it anyways…..
I say go for it!! call it like it is!!
terrondt, one of teh mayors from that country said they had their votes counted ages ago, but they coulnty officials were sitting on the results.
I still can’t believe that AA have abandoned the Clintons. Obama is so evil.
Why should she? Kennedy in 1980 was over 500 votes behind Carter and took it to the convention floor. If we can get Florida and Michigan seated we will be pretty much even.
Emmy, there are a lot of bigwigs from PR in the HRC camp as well.
well good night hill fans…….I headed off to bed ……it was frustrating tonight but it was a big win! no matter what the chatter is until wv and ky vote
Emmy
How much pull does the governor acutally have with the voters. Hasn’t he been indicted?
rjk1957, Kennedy was OVER 700 delegates behind AND Carter had already achieved the magic number required to secure the nomination, and he STILL took it to the convention floor. I DARE him to say shit to Hillary.
Since when did Bob Beckel become a kool aide drinker?
I was very pist that I could not stay tuned for the live blogging during the counting because the hospital was sooo busy. Now I am glad that I did not get to look much. The site did have some trouble as soon as you all started saying they were going to cheat her out of the win! I could not get on, scared the hell out of me!
This campaign has been so dirty. The “new politics” is really the old politics; the new politician is just a typical dirty Chicago politician; the followers are abusive thugs; the caucuses have been rigged; and the “unity” candidate has proved to be the most divisive politician in recent history. Last, but not least, the DNC has been in cahoots with this, and has rigged the primaries. By excluding, FL and MI, they are throwing away the GE, but they don’t care. This is one typical white female who will not vote for the crook, if he should become the nominee. I plan to register as an Independent tomorrow.
AND Carter was an incumbent president. Which should have stopped Teddy from pulling his shenanigans.
birdgal, fortunately for us, the Clintons know how to play dirty political hardball too. And they will at the convention if need be. I actually pity the BO campaign.
Bob Beckel has never gotten over Bill Clinton’s winning in 1992.

Emmy, there are a lot of bigwigs from PR in the HRC camp as well.
yes, but the ones who will be running for governor are for BO. Actually, I guess that;s good, because then it doesn;t turn into plain old local politics, one party pitted against another, rather than a turn out for a presidential primary.
Clinton Memo on Indiana PrimaryInterested Parties
From: The Clinton Campaign
Date: May 6, 2008
RE: Tie-Breaker
In April, Barack Obama called Indiana a ‘tie-breaker’ for the Democratic nominating process: “You know, Sen. Clinton is more favored in Pennsylvania and I’m right now a little more favored in North Carolina, so Indiana right now may end up being the tiebreaker. So we want to work very hard in Indiana.”
At the time, Senator Obama’s comments seemed to be part of an elaborate plan to lower expectations for the Indiana contest. After all, roughly 20% of Indiana Democratic primary voters have been exposed to Senator Obama for years because they live within the Chicago media market. He’s never lost a state that borders his home-state of Illinois.
The fact that Indiana was an open primary – Republicans and independents can vote in the Democratic contest – also augured well for Senator Obama. He has regularly argued that he should be nominated because he “appeal[s] to Republicans and Independents in a way that none of the other nominees can.”
Throw in the fact that Senator Obama outspent the Clinton campaign by a 2 to 1 margin on Indiana television and Indiana seems to be more of a lean-Obama state than a toss-up.
So Hillary’s victory in Indiana – fought out against the backdrop of an ailing economy – is all the more incredible. We started out behind in both the public and internal polls.
For example, our March 13 poll showed Hillary trailing by 8 points, while our latest poll gave Hillary a 5 point lead.
We saw Hillary Clinton’s margin flip from -19 points among men in Indiana back in March to +1 among men in our final poll. Among women, Hillary’s margin increased from +1 in March to +8 now.
Similarly, in mid-February, the Howey-Gauge poll had Barack Obama 15 points ahead of Hillary Clinton (Feb 16-17: Obama 40 / HRC 25). By April 23-24, Hillary had narrowed the gap to only 2 points in the same poll (Obama 47 / HRC 45). The late momentum was critical – according to the exit poll, Hillary won by 18 points among those who made their decision in the last three days.
Hillary won by appealing to voters in almost every key demographic group. According to the exit poll, Hillary won among men and among women, in northern, central and southern parts of the state, among those who earn more than $50,000 per year and those who earn less, union voters and non-union voters, suburban and rural voters, churchgoers, gun-owners, and those who have not graduated from college.
Hillary also won among those who say the economy is the most important issue, those who are affected by the recession, those who say health care is most important, electability and experience voters. Hillary also led Obama on commander-in-chief.
What drove Hillary’s strong support – especially among downscale voters, suburban and rural voters, churchgoers, gun-owners and those who are affected by the recession?
- Gas tax summer holiday – making oil companies pay the gas tax instead of American families through a tax on oil company windfall profits
- Tough stance on NAFTA and other trade issues
- The only candidate – Democrat or Republican – with a health care plan that covers every American
- Support for cutting middle-class taxes
dija,
From the very beginning, Obama has been untouched by Hillary, and the MSM because of the fear of being perceived as racist. Gerry Ferrarro was right! Hillary should have destroyed him as soon as he announced his candidacy.
Dean was on Fox Sunday claiming that even speaking the name Wright was racism. The republicans don’t need the black vote to win. Anyway, AA are only about 13% of the population. How can so many AA do this to Hillary! She is NOT a racist!
plural, SO TRUE. AND Carter was a fucking incumbent president. Pickled-brained Kennedy had better not say ANYTHING. I dare him.
Might as well play the race card. It’s hard to get less than zero percent of the black vote, ya know what I’m sayin’? It doesn’t matter what Clinton or any white candidate does. OJ Simpson would get 92% of the black vote in the Democratic primaries.
I’m not sure that everyone fully understands the demographics of the current Democratic Party. Under the current nominating system, it is now the African American Party. There is no way that a white candiate can compete for the nomination as long as there is a black candidate in the race. The 100% racial block voting and the bonus delegates to African American districts makes it inevitable.
I’m not sure any serious white candidates will even bother to run for the Democratic nomination four years from now.

How much pull does the governor acutally have with the voters. Hasn’t he been indicted?
Yes, he was, but party politics being what they are, he gave a wonderful speech to the party, and they are totally supporting his run for governor.
warehouse553, good point. Republicans have never had the black vote and they do a pretty good job of winning in the GE. The difference this year: Latinos (the largest minority in the nation) will NOT vote for BO. They will gladly vote for McCain against that empty-suited P.O.S.
Good night, y’all. sleep tight.
Did I understand Hannity to say many more smoking guns……….and that tomorrow going to D.C. to meet with uncommitted SD? She’s probably going to give them a hint about shoes that will be dropping. Hope so. Wish they would have the good sense to LISTEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HWC, I have come to that same conclusion. Those extra delegates don’t make any sense. They rig it for any viable AA candidate.
What’s next? I want Hillary to stay in until Denver but if she can’t pull this off, she can’t be seen as being responsible for him losing if she wants the nomination in 2012.
But he needs to be weakened enough for McCain to beat him.
Hillguy, I know its wrong, but I am angry at the AA that voted for him.
Unlike Brazilla, the Republicans realize that white voters do matter.
I was locked out for a long time today…I’m not sure this post will go thru.
hwc,
If the Clintons have anything damaging they need to find some subtle way of releasing it. McCain is fighting against the tide this year and the money disadvantage is too great!
He’ll need help! The congress is democratic so no right judges will be appointed if the democrats stand up to McCain.
Again, with the racial bloc voting and the current Democratic Party rules, it is no longer possible for a white candidate to win the nomination as long as there is a black candidate, any black candidate, in the race. Al Sharpton could get the nomination in 2012.
It is what it is.
I can’t believe Brazilla said that the “new” Democratic Party is comprised of AAs, young voters, and educated whites. Let’s unpack these groups:
-AAs, the majority of which reside in reliably RED, southern states that NEVER vote for the Democrat.
-Young voters, the MOST unreliable voting block in a GE (young voters were supposed to carry Gore and Kerry to victory, remember? Yea, they didn’t show up).
-Educated whites, who currently aren’t educated ENOUGH to recognize that BO is a total FRAUD.
Good luck with that “new” Democratic Party, Donna.
warehouse553, we’ve seen how Pelosi and Reid have really “stood up” to Bush, haven’t we? About ending that war…
Republican (female) strategist also said something to Hannity about Ickes’ “October surprise.” Hmmmm…..
Who needs soap operas? This ongoing saga has everything and then some. Including sleep deprivation. G’night all. God Bless. Tomorrow in D.C. – Hillary knock their socks off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw on Taylor Marsh that Obama is also going to be DC tomorrow! I wonder what this is all about? They had better not put them together and run them. I hate this man and would hate to vote against Hillary, but Obama the thug, I just can’t picture them together anymore! Good with Evil is beyond comprehension!
How can somebody who claims that 4 years of his childhood is foreign policy experience be taken seriously?
hwc, were those rules in place in the 1980s?
I have a bad, bad feeling about tomorrow.
warehouse: I was wondering the same thing. I spent 2 years in the Peace Corps, many years ago, but I don’t think, it qualifies as foreign policy experience.
rickroberts, I have that same feeling, Chelsea did not look good tonight!
Congress won’t be Democratic for long. Donna Brazille’s “New Democratic Party” has no national appeal. A coalition of African Americans and Teddy Kennedy loon liberals? Not to mention the bang up job Pelosi and Reid have been doing.
I actually think Clinton should switch parties and lead a resurgence of moderate Republicans: fiscal responsibility, solid on national defense, moderate on social issues. Somebody’s going to grab the middle of the political spectrum. It’s clearly not goign to be the Democrats.
warehouse553
Hillary and Bill could work 24/7 campaigning for that ass and they will still be blamed if he loses anyway, so screw him.
rick: there has been a fundraiser planned in DC for Hillary. Someone was giving away a spot at a table for one of the members, and Taylor Marsh was planning on attending.
No VP for Hillary! Guys, she would be too old before her first term as President! She would be doing all the work! We live in a sexist culture, I don’t believe this country would elect a 68 year old woman!
Hannity is calling it as it is, saying Hill telegraphed the argument tonight.
WE lead in the popular vote. There are many more shoes to drop on BO.
Tonight was just the latest and most repulsive example of media bias in world history. Everyone and their mother predicted a split, we get a split, and of ofcourse Hill should drop out.
Once again, they can suck our collective asses.
Again, from all I know, even all the remaining delegates announcing for BO doesn’t mean anything until it is ratified at the convention.
To my very limited knowledge tonight, BO didn’t do much to break into Hill’s demographics.
These are two states that haven’t voted for a democrat for president in eons.
Bill & Hill will make it known behind the scenes they will scorch the earth with the full oppo research file on BO, and he will NEVER win a GE after that if FLA & MI aren’t dealt with properly.
Gee, maybe the morning appearances were cancelled because it took Buck county until one in the fucking morning to report the vote?!
Maybe they want to do some strategizing before they come out with their post NC/IN case for SD’s?
Maybe their behind-the-scenes meet with SD’s is more important than talking to Diane Sawyer?
Russert had the balls to go on and say ‘Now we know who the nominee will be?’
Had fun dragging your fat around to keep up with the day-to-day Timmeh, cause ain’t nothing over.
So fuck you and fuck Big Russ too!
Hey! Get your ‘bad feelings’ and VP talk the fuck out of Hillary’s house!
NOW!!!
I have a good feeling about tomorrow. Like perhaps, Hillary is going to attend a fundraiser (which she is) and convince undecided SDs that BO would lose 40+ states against McCain. That’s the feeling I have.
rjk1957,
but I still want her as president in 2012. AA have to believe that she did everything possible to help him! They no longer trust her. Clyburn said that a majority believe that the only reason for the continuation of the Hillary’s candidacy was to destroy Barack! How does she fight something like that?
Oh, for god’s sake. She WON INDIANA! Even with the ballot box stuffing. She is not going to drop out. If she does, the Demcrats lose in Nov, and she knows it. Sje’s also not going to run for VP on a sure loser ticket.
Clyburn’s saying it doesn’t make it true.
I personally hopes she drops the bomb on the SD’s and tells them what the hell he is doing and reads the riot act to the idiots!
Hmm I wonder if Obamabots went to their sites and cried about Obama dropping out after PA. STOP WITH THE NEGATIVITY.
Hillary is a fighter. Let’s fight all the way to Denver.
It could be worse that a 40 state blowout. I think McCain would have a shot against Obama in Massachusetts.
The Republicans don’t care if you call them racists. They will dump on Obama like a ton of bricks.
plural, its not about reality. Its about the perception of reality!
Chelsea looked upset because the Mayor of Gary was holding all the county ballots hostage trying to figure out how many to fabricate. Unfortunately for him, he miscalculated.
Thanks Gerond for the shot of sanity.
I’ve considered all along we cold be heading into something unprecedented, unchartered waters.
What no one is talking about is what we talked about monthsago.
If Hill goes all the way to Denver, republicans cannot wait to unload on BO. He will be horribly hobbled by then, it will be obvious to a 4-year old he cannot win. SD’s will see the light.
Umm Shepard Smith, 20,000 votes is NOT the thinnest of thin margins.
Clyburn is a DC insider, writing propaganda in the New York Times. His words don’t make facts.
How people vote is a separate thing.
Obama is not winning CA either. I have lived here all my life. We have a moderate Republican governor (just like McCain), and our HUGE Latino population would rather eat shit than vote for BO against McCain. So there you have it.
The mayor of Gary knew that the minute he released vote totals from Lake County, the networks would all call the race for Clinton. So he sat on the votes.
Was he trying to see how many dead people he needed to steal the election? Probably.
Another point: Waffles campaign had predicted a 7 point win in IN, so at least, he did not get that. If the pundits are talking about fraud, I’m sure the SDs are thinking about it.
birdgal, and be sure that Hillary will be discussing fraud with SDs tomorrow.
Yes, HWC. That is what he was doing.
Well, according to RCP, her 200,000+ vote deficit in NC cancelled out her 200,000+ lead in PA. Probably why Bill and Chelsea looked so defeated. Shpws him ahead now by 199,000 after counting fL & MI and his damn caucus adjustments. So, her argument for the popular vote …..However, if she could win big numbers next Tues. in WV and KY, Puerto Rico, hold her own in OR and not have BHO’s MT, SD and OR wipe it out, she might still have a slight Popular vote lead. It’s just with FL & MI, she had sizeable lead until tonight. Losing so big in NC eliminated that.
But, I’m telling you. There will be many more shoes to drop, and probably all kinds of October surprises. So she waits in the wings with all her delegates, and if the SD flock to him, she doesn’t attack him this summer, she just keeps talking about the will of the working class in America that keep this whole shooting match going. Patience, I guess we’re ALL being tested.
I think you “bad feeling” people here need to go to bed. It has been a long day. I know we had our hopes set on something bigger but we got what needed to be got. Your negativity is exactly the response the media wants to you have. It’s called psychological warfare for your information. Every pessimistic word you utter on this site (and even in your minds) sticks a needle in Hillary’s heart. So do it on your own time if you insist, but keep it off these pages please. Thanks.
talkkleft shows her schedule just released-she has a funraiser at night in dc bc yep she is very exhuasted. then she is off to ore etc.. i think she should now run against mccain-show the supers how much better she would be than bo. the hill camp can stop pos press wth the gary issue/hammond.
curiosity,
Is that the RCP where they DON’T give BO the uncommitted vote?
Because that’s the one that must be used.
Barack Obama didn’t get ANY votes in MI, therefore he deserves none, IMO.
My gorilla math came out that tonight only cost about 10K votes in the difference between PA & NC.
I’m with you, paddy. I don’t understand why anyone takes anything the media says seriously.
A win is a win. Just last Saturday, seven votes in Guam were spun as a landslide.
LOL! 7 votes. A win is a win, so 20,000 votes must be a win.
“If Hill goes all the way to Denver, republicans cannot wait to unload on BO. He will be horribly hobbled by then, it will be obvious to a 4-year old he cannot win. SD’s will see the light.”
That’s what makes me laugh with all these Obama people who say, the continuing nomination race is helping McCain!! Um, actually, the continuing nomination race is the only thing keeping Obama afloat. If Obama and Mccain were going head to head, he’d be getting the Hillary treatment from the media, everyone would know all about Ayers and Wright etc. in detail, and his candidacy would be be finished in about a day and a half.
I DIDNT GET ON ALL DAY, CAUSE I DIDNT WANT TO GET UPSET.
i said a couple of days ago how fox reported that they had early voting in the college, and on off sites, for early voting in indiana. they talked about how they had rent buses and were filling them all day long with students. they also talked about the heavy work they did signing up the independants and others to vote…
they had their secret strategy, no one in hills campaign payed attention to that.
BUT ITS NOT THE END OF THE ROAD…
IF YOU THINK FOR ONE MINUTE, HILL AND BILL DONT HAVE PLAN A, B.C.D AND E…, THAN YOUR JUST TIRED AND NOT THINKING STRAIT.
the press is the enemy, it is them that will try and knock her out with all they’ve got now. obama wouldnt have a chance without the press. unfortunately, he’s got the press, or should i say, they’ve got him.
DONT KNOW WHAT PLAN E IS, BUT IF IT DOESNT WORK, I’M GOING TO GO OUT AND CAMPAIGN FOR MCCAIN. ON GENERAL PRINCIPLE, OBAMA IS MY ENEMY…
plural Says:
May 7th, 2008 at 2:01 am
hwc, were those rules in place in the 1980s?
———
DNC rules have had major tinkering at various times. Ferraro wrote an article about the establishment of the SDs (after which Obama pulled out a 2 week old quote out of context to accuse her of ‘racism’). McGovern wrote something more recent.
Iirc the SDs were established after Ted Kennedy went to the convention against President Carter (1980?)
If the campaign did only one thing tomorrow, I’d like it to be a Big Dawg press conference where he embarrasses this ugly lying Obama bitch Clyburn out of politics.
It’s time for him to command the stage while Hill re-charges.
She IS in a groove, nothing happened today to change that.
She HAS solidified her position as the fighter in this race,
THE representative of working people in this country.
And tonight, she did what she had to do. She WON.
Gee, maybe someone will ask Oprah tomorrow why she left that church?
curiosity,
Barone wrote last week or so that HIllary HAD the popular vote (by any count, I suppose) after PA. (I suppose he was using Real Clear’s figures.) Nobody paid attention to it.
Might check that.
As for a caucus adjustment, estimating some popular vote from caucus states is reasonable, but there needs to be an adjustment for the fact that primaries turn out more votes for HIllary than caucuses do. In WA there was both a caucus and a primary, and Obama did 16% better in the caucus. So in estimating a primary version of a caucus state, wouldn’t we need to move 16% from Obama’s column to Hillary’s?
that’s right, alot of people said this race in Indiana was close and we came out on top, so let’s go to West Virginia! If 7 votes is a win, then 20,000 is a landslide!
Rasmussen on FOX saying demographics did NOT change tonight.
And THAT may be the biggest news of all for SD’s.
Blue: So, that means waffles did not break into Hillary’s demographics and vice-versa?
*nods* He had to prove himself on demographics, he failed, miserably.
I have no idea why anyone would feel ‘defeated’ tonight. But then again I don’t pay much attention to the media.
Hillary won the ‘tiebreaker,’ even with fraud being attempted. Barack has lost ground in the southern Black Belt states, as a quick glance at his South Carolina vs North Carolina results can easily see.
Basically, his margin of victory, percentage-wise, was halved in a state whose white population is FAR more favorable to him demographically than is South Carolina.
Barack is a damaged, fading candidate. Nothing that happened tonight countered that notion, it only confirmed it. He is wobbling toward the finish line and will not enjoy another victory like North Carolina from this point forward until he loses his bid for the nomination. Tonight was his ‘zenith,’ and it came complete with a loss in his backyard in Indiana.
This isn’t spin, this is the truth. Barack has been on a downhill trajectory ever since February and once Wright hit. North Carolina should NEVER have been in doubt yet it was. He got 90+% of the black vote in a state which will be going GOP in November. 90% is a large number, until you consider that 90% of 11% of the national electorate isn’t going to win you jack. Especially when the other 89% has been called racists and is mad as hell about it.
Barack Obama has NO chance in November. None. He will suffer a huge — gigantic — electoral loss if he is nominated. Any objective analysis can see the trends heading that way. Unfortunately, the media and the “afraid to incur the wrath of the ‘attempt to intimidate people by calling them racists’ crew” Dem “leadership” isn’t living in reality. They are deluded, and if they choose Barack, they will be looking for work in early November. This is the reality of the situation, and the ‘comeback’ story in NC won’t change that.
The only thing that matters right now is helping Hillary raise money. Her victory tonight in IN means, in my opinion, that we’re heading for Denver. Now it’s time to help her have the $$$ she needs to make OR competitive and run up big wins in WV, KY and PR. Everything else will work itself out.
Paul F. Villarreal
Blue Democrat, meaning BO is still embarrassingly unable to attract white blue-collar voters?
Hey Universal: THANK YOU, for putting this into perspective. I will make another donation to Hillary in the a.m. I’m off to bed.
A message from Hillary just came into my email box:
Tonight’s victory in Indiana was close, and a margin that narrow means just one thing: every single thing you did to help us win in Indiana helped make the difference.
Every call you made, every friend you spoke to about our campaign, every dollar you contributed made tonight’s victory possible. And I couldn’t be more thankful for your hard work.
Every time we’ve celebrated a victory, we’ve celebrated it together. And tonight is no exception. This victory is your victory, this campaign is your campaign, and your support has been the difference between winning and losing.
Thank you so much for making this campaign possible. Let’s keep making history together.
Boy, was I the only one watching CNN with the Bucks county mayor on the phone thinking he had Axelrod or Daley on the other line, just waiting to make the call whether or not to go for the full-fraud?
Seemed like as soon as King & Blitzer (who actually kept pressing on a critical issue, a skill that has been lost to them on the war, stolen elections in the past, etc) demanded an answer and kept questioning him live, that suddenly those numbers popped up after 5 hours.
Oh, and Donna Brazile is an elitist fraudulent hack. She is somewhere around Roland Martin/Rachael Maddow level now — an embarrassment who makes you feel bad about being a Dem.
Her saying she’s undeclared is like The Third Reich saying it’s not sure if it’s going to invade Poland. It is a full-frontal insult to American’s intelligence.
She needs to step down from whatever posts she holds in the DNC and for the Convention. She is not an honest broker and she just threw a good chunk of the Democratic base under the bus like it was Jeremiah Wright and she was BaCrock.
Donna, you’re right, words do matter. Here are two which should resonate in your ears:
“You suck”
Paul F. Villarreal
“Blue Democrat, meaning BO is still embarrassingly unable to attract white blue-collar voters?”
That’s what Rasmussen said, no change in demos.
Earlier I saw Norah O’Donnell try to make a big deal about a less than 10% shift in Catholic voters, but it wasn’t convincing.
I saw the non-college numbers for Hill in IN and it was a pretty massive win, 60-something, 30-something.
Fucking NBC still calling Hill ‘apparent’ winner.
Special place in hell for them….
birdgal — My pleasure.
We got one more ‘race’ to go: Getting HRC the $$$ she needs to finish strongly. Everything else is in excellent shape.
Universal: Also, thank you for all your great diaries and articles, and everything else that you do for Hillary.
just caught replay and gotta say, I dislike those Hilllines, “Can-Do country’ and ‘we have to start acting like americans again.”
she should ditch’em.
Gergen quoting hideous HuffPost ‘Presumtive” headline.
Get the fuck outta here!
Comb-over Republican scumbag.
“Presumptive”… what a joke! Has he reached the crucial number yet to secure the nomination? NO!
blue: what are those about?
LOL over at TM, they refer to him as “Gutter Ball.” LMAO
“I will never vote for Gutter Ball.”
I love it.
Bad job there by John King, who’s had along and quite good night otherwise.
says she didn’t get any new ammo for SD’s tonight.
Well, if BO didn’t break the trends, that was the BEST news she could have gotten tonight.
Think about it; are we really suppose to think Hillary Clinton lost her viability tonight because she lost a red state like NC by 50K votes more than was ‘predicted’. Or because red state IND was closer than ‘predicted’ (but which she won).
It’s utter maddness. I must sleep.
The NYT has another one of those junkie articles by Adam Nagourney, just like after PA. Do you think the paper is running low on funds so they just recycle the same stuff over and over? Sort of like TV re-runs.
birdgal — Thank you for all that you do for Hillary as well.
You don’t abandon the only family who has led Dems to the White House in 3 decades because all the sudden you have the ebony Elmer Gantry come calling and you feel like you just might find a cure for those Boomer White Guilt Blues. You have to have principles.
There are many reasons why we all admire the Clintons, but the chief one for me is that they are fighters who aren’t afraid to take on the tough tasks and go to the mat to defend who and what they believe in. They aren’t frontrunners, and they are everything that this country is about when it’s at it’s best: grit, hard work, positive attitude and relentless pursuit of one’s aspirations.
All 3 of them are indefatigable workhorses who are not afraid of taking on any and all challenges. The way that the Dem elites have jealously turned on them like a collective Judas is one of the most repugnant, ungrateful things I have ever witnessed. That they did it for a slightly-upgraded Deval Patrick makes it even more outrageous.
James Taranto in his WSJ blurb on me the other day quoted part of the email I wrote to him. In that excerpt I said that if Obama is nominated, I will actively seek to help take him down along with the GOP. And I’m very serious, as anyone who has watched my latest YouTube video could tell you. This is very personal to me and to millions of other Dems who feel betrayed. It’s not about race and it’s not about class; it’s about respect. The level of disrespect being shown the Clintons and their supporters by the media, the Dem leadership and the New Jack Punks backing Obama is not acceptable. If Obama has to be made an example of in order to take back the party from these latter-day Jacobins, then so be it. I am in for that 1,000,000%.
We — all of us Clinton supporters who compromise the majority of the party — are being challenged. Don’t forget that. They think that women such as yourself will just fall in line when they snap their fingers. They are, in fact, counting on this.
Hillary, Bill, Chelsea, etc. can’t say this. They have to be good soldiers. They know it, however. And they’re pissed, just like Wright was pissed with Obama for kicking him to the curb after 20 years. Everyone knows the score, but only few can announce it.
The reason I was kicked off Daily Kos and MyDD is because I started loudly proclaiming the score, and that began to upset vested parties at those sites. Parties, for example, who might stand to benefit from being seen as having helped Obama get to the Oval Office.
There’s nothing in this for me. I’m not lining up meetings with the Clintons or auditioning for a date with Chelsea. I’m doing this because I believe in it strongly and because I believe in loyalty. The Clintons have helped Dems, and it is time to return the favor.
Everything else is expedient, new-age, feel-good crap as concerns this contest. Never in my life have I been more embarrassed to be a Dem nor have I had more insight into how leftist movements become Stalinist when they are given too much rein. The actions of Team Obama, many of it’s surrogates and many of Obama’s supporters during this process have been so far beyond the pale that they lie somewhere between something from “Grand Theft Auto IV,” The Sopranos and Mussolini’s brownshirts. We got another glimpse of that tonight courtesy of the Gary, IN mayor.
That is why I and many others are prepared to vote against Barack and leave the party. If Brazzzile wants a “new” party, she can have it and it’s 25% national electorate. I don’t want in with the Bill Ayers and Michelle “bitchy ingrate” Obama anyways. These people are infants in grown-up bodies.
Sleep well, birdgal. Thanks for your great work.
Extremely well said Universal.

Universal, very well said, as usual. This primary season has increased my awareness of what it means to feel disenfranchised and invisible. That is how I feel. I admire the Clintons very much, and how they have shown their strength and love for the American people during this primary season. Maybe, you should audition for a date with Chelsea; you could probably keep up with her.
The NYT’s Nagourney piece isn’t a total hitjob;
With few states left, she and her aides said they would step up their efforts to count the disputed results in Florida and Michigan, where the states held contests in defiance of Democratic Party rules. If Mrs. Clinton can win the battle to have the delegations from those two states seated at the conventions on the basis of the vote there, she could greatly reduce Mr. Obama’s lead in pledged delegates.
But neither candidate actively campaigned in Florida or Michigan, and Mr. Obama did not appear on the Michigan ballot.
Still, in a sign of where the Clinton campaign is going, her aides are asserting that the winner will need 2,209 delegates, not 2,025. That higher number reflects the full inclusion of Florida and Michigan, which held their primaries before the date permitted by the Democratic Party.
The goal of the Clinton campaign here is not just to get the delegate votes counted but also to get superdelegates to consider the popular vote Mrs. Clinton won in those two states; in some calculations that would put her over the top. The party’s Rules and Bylaws Committee is meeting in Washington at the end of the month to vote on an effort by the Clinton campaign to permit the seating of the delegations.
“We’re going to argue that it’s going to take 2,209 to get to the magic number,” said Howard Wolfson, one of Mrs. Clinton’s chief strategists. “We’re going to argue that Florida and Michigan need to be seated full-strength.”
The other big hope for the Clinton campaign is making the argument that Mr. Obama would suffer against Senator John McCain, the likely Republican presidential nominee. The exit polls gave Mrs. Clinton ammunition in that regard: half the Democrats who voted in Indiana and North Carolina said Mr. Obama’s association with Mr. Wright was very or somewhat important.
And in Indiana, for example, less than half of Mrs. Clinton’s supporters said they would support Mr. Obama in a general election, while one-third said they would vote for Mr. McCain. About one-fifth of Mr. Obama’s supporters in Indiana said they would vote for Mr. McCain in a general election should Mrs. Clinton get the nomination. Many of those Democrats can probably be expected to stay with their party in the end, but the figures suggest the intensity of the passion dividing Clinton and Obama supporters at the moment and the challenge facing the eventual nominee in uniting the party.
it seems to me the so-called dem leadership want to get rid of the clintons so bad. why do they hate then so much?
Birdgal -
She works very hard, which I observed while doing some non-school-related research at Stanford.
Thanks for the compliments.
As long as 95% of AA vote for him, there is an intimidation factor to challenge anything he says or does! Primary world is different from general election world! I think this white guilt is stronger than I thought. Electing him will not make racism dispapear! Why can’t people see that.
Enough venting on that subject. Our margins WV, KY, and PR will make up for NC! Hopefully the PR will be a blowout!
terrondt
Because they are moderates. Bill is a moderate. Hillary is a liberal but knows to get things done, she will have to govern in a moderate fashion!
The party wants a pure liberal party! Look at what they did Lieberman. I know he was Bush friendly but he was loyal and voted with democrats about 90% of the time and they kicked him out!
We shouldn’t be surprised! Which means Mark Warner, Evan Bayh, etc could be next!
Democrats are out and about to make the worst mistake they ever made – that is, unless they quickly think.
She needs us!
Heed the call!

~ I’m in it to win it.
Well that was better news when i got up, I’m amazed she did that brilliant right on Obama’s back doorstep, thats the huge news here.
moononpluto, I was worried about you tonight. You are usually the one with the positive news! We are going to win this.
oh and by the way, i am still pissed at what that cow Brazille said last night along the lines of we don’t need white middle class working voters anymore.
Hillguy, i just despaired that the fact they sat on those figures for so long, i think they tried to stuff the boxes in that district.
I can’t for the life of me see how SUSA got it wrong by 10 points.
The fact of the matter was, I am dissapointed that we have been taken over by elements in the Dem party and the voters are walking into the abatoir to be culled.
The elitists and the AA factions have slowly taken control of the dem party, i don’t care anymore about them, its just blatant pandering by some people to them.The demographics have not changed, its how it is being portrayed. White voters and senior voters are being marginalised and told by the democratic party that their vote is worthless and not as good as young unreliable voters and AA’s and the msm is backing them up on it.
I want Hillary now to do what Obama is doing, just go for the jugular, if you have shit on bambi, dump it now, destroy him, don’t hold back, he deserves it. You’ve already been screwed over, take him down. For the good of this country make sure this cheap, nasty, terrorist sympathising, marxist supporting, communist supporting piece of work does not have the chance to win the whitehouse.
This is it for me, I do not want him to even have a shot at this, i just want to make sure everyone knows what a creep he is.
This may sound strong but i’ve had it. If they won’t give her the nomination after all of the disturbing stuff thats happened, screw the lot of them.
I have to thank the Mayor of Hammond and even CNN for bringing this voter fraud into the light in Gary. Only God knows what will have happened if the Mayor of Hammond didn’t say anything. This just stinks of Chicago dirty politics and this should NOT be put under the carpet. Hillary campaign better say something about this. Enough with trying to play nice. This is the country’s future we are talking about here.
Admin, you have to make a post about this also.
moononpluto, I couldn’t agree more. We are in too perilous a state to have an inexperienced, opportunistic, empty-suited coward earning our party’s nomination, let alone the White House. This is serious, and I have had it too.
Hillary needs to go for the jugular. She needs to take him out. Now. I couldn’t care less about MSM saying she’s going too negative.
As someone posted earlier, the longer Hillary stays in the race, the more the pressure will mount for the Republican Attack Machine to begin launching missiles at BO sooner rather than later. This is why they keep calling for her to exit, so that we are stuck with him. We won’t be stuck with him like we were with Kerry. Therein lies our built-in advantage. We are in it to win it.
Caroline, I was just thinking that. Thank God for Mayor Hammond to call that lying sack-of-shit Kool-Aid drinking mayor out on national television. Had he not, Gutter Ball might have gotten away with his coup.
Unfortunately, Hillary is too loyal to the Democrat Party even after they betrayed her to destroy Obama! There was a post earlier about her becoming a moderate republican and I thought it was out of the question. But now, maybe she would get the respect she deserves.
I still can’t get over his selfishness. I mean Hillary campaigned for him!
Hey guys, want to see something interesting and Admin you really need this on the front page.
Remember Obama’s big speech last night which looked like he had millions in the arena, well here’s the picture taken of it in reality.

They roped off one corner of the arena to make it look full.

smoke and mirrors, what its been all along.
moononpluto, brilliant find. Wow that really is stunning.
“Interesting, isn’t it, that it took one mayor to call out the other and get the votes in.”
We cannot let this go….We need to blog about this everywhere so people won’t ignore what happened last night.
