Obama won more delegates in the states he lost. At the same time, people keep saying they want change and they're voting for Obama, only when he took the time to vote in the senate, he had the same record as Clinton; if they wanted change, they should have voted Gravel, Kucinich, or even Richardson. This is the only thing in which you are "spot on". Gawd I hate that word "spot on" But yes so true. And did you notice how the democrates would not let Kucinich( a former mayor and sitting congressperson) debate, while the republicans let every body debate! But its all about change. p.s its a noted fact that minorities have a crabs and a barrow syndrome. It’s the reason why you would rather try a rape case with a male jury. Sad but true.

This election is just pissing me off all around. "Liberal" bloggers one day when they think Clinton is going to loose say that the states prefer their super-delegates vote the way the state goes, but then the next day brag about how Obama won more delegates in the states he lost. At the same time, people keep saying they want change and they're voting for Obama, only when he took the time to vote in the senate, he had the same record as Clinton; if they wanted change, they should have voted Gravel, Kucinich, or even Richardson. Also, I don't like how women who don't like Hillary are said to be self loathing or anti-women. I'm a man and I hate McCain, but that doesn't make me self loathing. One last thing: I like those jukeboxes. They allow more variety.

@Spook: If you think there should be a pointless, retarded law passed, you are in the wrong thread. Please see the "baggie" post.

Yes, Pinko, yes my frined! And its Pay Day this Friday! A time when a Spook's largess will be swathed wide like 1968 Kremlin red paint through out old man and packaged good bars where homeless inebriated souls stand outside with a tattered gloved hand extended, from Logan Square too, well Logan Square! Perhaps I will even put five dollars in the juke box to encourage the homeless to dance for their dollar beers! Dance I say, every body must dance! p.s does any one else hate those new sophisticated juke boxes? There should be a law!

Vote Spook in '08! Playing the contrarian card and enabling Chicago's crazy, homeless, alcoholic population since 1998!

@Spook: I hate Hillary because she is Lady MacBeth in Clinton clothing. I don't really want to cast a vote for Machiavelli's Prince. But that is just me.

If it's a Hillary/Obama ticket, I could, while choking back copious amounts of bile and vomit, manage to cast my vote for Hillary at the general election. Barely. However, I'd much rather it be a Obama ticket, and not Hillary as a VP, either.

"Democrats won't take back the White House this November, at least not with Clinton at the helm. America is overloaded with dumb, simplistic people who will pick Crazy Grandpa over Bitter Ex-Wife every day of the week." This has some truth to it and the fact that simplistic people love O'Bama is also equally as telling, as are women like Spav1 who hate Clinton because she is a strong women who goes againts the grain and isn't afraid to mix it up with the big boys. unlike Mr. Go along get along, I will say any thing as long as it sounds pretty Mr. Feel Good O'bama. I'm voting Green. p.s And of course O'Bama is gonna take Mississippi with its six registered voters. Its interesting how more voters come out for O’bama but not new voters because his voters are all part of the democratic liberal elite white black and brown, more concerned with glitter than dealing with the dark underside of this country.

Congrats, Kevin. No obvious factual errors on this post. Keep up the good work.

if they include fla and mich, they'll do a revote. florida gov. crist already said they'd be willing to do one. the process of holding a primary is the states cost. no way they just use the votes they already took. that would be egregiously unfair also, obama is gonna whomp on clinton in mississippi and get his momentum back. i have no clue about wyoming

It has been a pretty mild campaign so far...I think that the longer they both stay in, the better because they will certainly go easier on each other than McCain would go on either of them...and McCain won't be able to form a general election stragetegy until AFTER the Auguest convention giving him only 3 months to campaign against one of them as the nominee. This is a GREAT thing.

"Democrats can taste the White House"...Democrats won't take back the White House this November, at least not with Clinton at the helm. America is overloaded with dumb, simplistic people who will pick Crazy Grandpa over Bitter Ex-Wife every day of the week. This is also why Clinton will win the Democratic nomination. Amongst all the Democratic candidates, nobody seems so business-as-usual quite like Hillary.

At this point, I think Obama and Hillary are doing more harm to each other (come November) and the Democratic Party in general. I fully support Obama, but if it means the Democrats re-taking control of the White House in 2009, I could live with a Hillary/Obama ticket. Obama would still be a relatively young candidate eight years later and could run again; certainly, nobody would be able to call him out for lack of experience after a vice-presidency ...

This fight is going all the way to the convention....it's been clear for weeks that neither candidate is going to get nearly enough delegates in the primaries. The "superdelegates" will decide at the convention (or in the weeks preceeding it) who will face John McCain in the fall. Does anyone honestly believe that either candidate is going to drop out of the race before then? This looks a lot like the Republican race for the nomination in 1976. Neither Ford nor Reagan had sufficient delegates to win after all the primaries. They spent weeks trying to convince "uncommitted" delegates to swing their way, and it did not become clear that Ford had enough until a rules vote at the convention went his way. This year, that vote could be on whether the convention seats the Michigan and Florida delegates? Stay tuned....

Fuck seating MI and FL. That is like sending the kids to the corner for an hour and then letting them get up after 30 seconds. If it is close in Delegates, they should have a do-over in those states, and let both candidates compete. Hillary makes me want to jam my thumbs into her eyes for making so much out of symbolic victories in states that have ZERO delegates.
