Us Elections 2008 - Page 3

So far in this election I am gearing for the name "none of the above" I do not think a first time winner of a senate race (Obama), a x first lady or a old man close to death are the right choices for this country. If we had someone out there campaigning that could really make a difference then I would support them.

Now I have a nasty aftertaste in my mouth with this coming election. Clinton had to open his flippin mouth and incite the blacks to vote for Obama. Then we have a conservative republican with an agenda that only hell knows what he is brewing.

Blacks only make up about 13% of the vote. Obama is not only carrying the black vote he is getting more of the white male vote and is splitting the white female vote. Not to mention, Hillary is loosing her significant edge of the hispanic vote. That is what is carrying Obama 60 to 40 over Hillary. This is not even to mention that college educated people are voting for him in a landslide vs Clinton. As I said before, the media loves this guy and he is and has become a great improvisational speaker over ths campaign, which is spelling doom for Hillary. If it is 50/50 in Texas and Ohio, its over.

Hillary needs big and very convincing wins to get the votes needed for the nomination. Only some underhanded politicing of the superdelegates will save her now. I say that because I can see the Clintons pulling all the stops out on this one.

I don't think that Bill helped her with some of his talk, but I don't think he is totally to blame. The polls continuously told the candidates that they were tired of all the negativity in campaigning. Unfortunatley, for Hillary, she didnt listen and Obama did. The people arent all that happy with Bush, but they want something other than a Anti-Bush Platform from the candidates.

That nasty aftertaste is likely either your first black president or moderate conservative with a anger management issues. You could do what I have done in the past and that is to vote for yourself.

And the Nominee Is"¦

The race for the Democratic presidential nomination may all come down to tomorrow's primaries in Ohio and Texas. According to the polls, the race between Sens. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) and Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is tightening in those two states, with Obama closing in on Clinton's previous lead. Yet some say that Obama's momentum has peaked. Obama sat down with "Nightline" co-anchor Terry Moran for an exclusive interview, talking about what he calls Clinton's "fear-mongering" campaign tactics leading up to the crucial vote.

I am getting anxious to know the result:

Actually, the fact that it is too close pretty much is a outcome within itself. Clinton needs a double digit win in Texas and Ohio (an most likely Pennsylvania when they vote) to erase the delegate lead that Obama has. So if they split Texas and Ohio, Clinton will not be able to get the delegates for the nomination. Her only hope is that Obama falls short too and then it goes to a brokered Democratic Convention. At that point, it is a totally political game. However, if they do not give the nomination to Obama, they are going to have a problem with the voters that showed up in record numbers to vote for the guy. Basically, if Texas and Ohio are really close, the only way that Obama doesnt take the nomination is some pretty shady politics that will be in play and that might not play to well when the general election is held.

Let's see if you are a true or false prophets, I'm monitoring the results and if I'm up by the time they are released I will post them, or you can as well.

Rather off topic, but... You saw that message I put in your Intro Thread about double posting right?

Looks like Clinton took Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island...not bad! Her victory in Ohio was pretty substantial (double digit victory). However, her Texas win was not too commanding...51/47, so there is going to be little delegates gained from that victory. Rhode Island is small and her victory was not big enough to gain even 1 delegate. Take a look...

I really like this breakdown and shows the nearly impossible odds for a Clinton nomination. She really will need some huge wins from here on out and some clever glad handing of superdelegates to take this nomination.

Edwards' 26 delegates continues to be a interesting point along with the scratched primaries of Michigan and Florida. Edwards cannot just give them to someone but he can recommend his delegates to go a certain way...they are not obliged to follow the recommendation though....
