23. a select few of hillbots' misery (6 off the top of my head) is

like Chicken soup for my soul.

What else would they expect with the campaign Hillary has chosen to run? Is there a puke icon?

[BeyondGeography]

2. He's winning overall because this isn't the first blowout

==Of Obama's 30 wins, he has received 60 % or more of the vote in 18 of them; and in 24 of the 30 he has received 55 % or more of the vote.

Hillary has received 60 % or more of the vote exactly once in 45 contests.==

4. Wait... this was a PRIMARY???

:wow:

I guess primary votes don't count either.

[Kittycat]

16. No. Just primary states with large populations of those people. Wink wink - Ferraro nod

[PerfectSage]

6. Woo Hoo Mississippi

3 5 delegate districts
1 7 delegate district
11 delegates split on on proprotional vote.

Anyone know how to count delegates?

[grantcart]

11. I think 60% is needed to split the state vote 7-4

the 7 delegate district is the big AA district so that probably will go 5-2

and the rest will go 3-2

CNN has it 17-11 so far

7. Congradulations to Sen. Obama, his campaign and supporters!

There is plenty of room over here, Clinton supporters! :hug: We have cookies...and Kool-aid!

Down with Clintonism!

[woolldog]

9. That's the same margin of victory that he acheived in Wyoming

Right?

[cooolandrew]

10. wow. When Barack comes back he comes back strong. Although I will tread carefully it's been volitile

with the figures. I'm pleased for now. :)

[goclark]

13. Now on to PA ~ I'm going to do calling to Pittsburgh I think

Which needs it more, Philly (where I was born) or Pittsburgh?

:bounce:

[jconner27]

14. Yea

Another Republican state is won... Now will it go to him in the fall?? Don't count on it

[Mooney]

15. What, like Texas or Florida? n/t

[IrishBloodEngHeart]

17. Obama ahead by 98,600 votes

I am hoping he gets it to a 100,000 vote margin.

[TheDonkey]

20. We'll need those raw votes to keep his popular vote up.

It is important he keeps things close in PA. A win is not necessary but it would be very good.

[Scurrilous]

18. Kick

:kick:

[TheDonkey]

19. It's a blowout. :)

[rainbow4321]

22. Not that the M$M will give it any coverage today

If Spitzer does resign today as reports are saying, it's going to be 24-7 Spitzer for the rest of the week.


It will either be:
"Mississippi?? Was there a primary in Mississippi last night?"

Or they will go and find every voter in the state who didn't vote for Obama and give each interview a 7 hour analysis with a talking head panel discussion.

[BumRushDaShow]

25. OMG

:spray: This is so true!!!! :rofl:

[Renew Deal]

24. Another 20%+ beating

Nice result

[Frumious B]

26. I wouldn't call it a "comeback"...

...because he has never trailed. It's more like a baseball game where one team that we'll call the Obama Sox has a 7-3 lead over the Hillaryankees. The Hillaryankees score a couple of runs in the sixth inning and for some inexplicable reason warm up their closer and start celebrating. The Obama Sox shrug and then answer back with a pair in the seventh.

27. what ever~
