1. What people don't realize is that Obama may get more
delegates out of my dinky state than either get out of OH or TX

10. Indeed.
Thanks to Vermont being a blowout, and TX and OH being neck and neck.

That is indeed how it may turn out, thanks to democracy.

23. If he wins Vermont by bigger margins, that's completely democratic
Edited on Tue Mar-04-08 06:33 PM by democrattotheend
If he wins Vermont by 20 points but she wins Ohio by 2, he should get more delegates out of Vermont, because the margin is much greater. Just like he won Missouri narrowly but did not net any delegates, because the margin was so close.

19. Great, never thought of that
You should be quiet on that or Hillary and her people will start crying about that.

On tv a little while ago they said that we may not know the final delegate count in Tx until Saturday.

14. she'd never win here
never had a chance. We're a quirky little place- and very anti-war. Her vote for the IWR is a deal breaker here.

37. Please take a look at the
other response. That poster didn't see your "joke" either. I think you need to review what a joke is, OMC. And try not to be so angry all the time.

from Frenchie Cat. She responded to your *ahem* "joke". Now try and calm down. You really are acting in a rather erratic manner.

40. By capitalizing every word...
Your posts seem to be like half shouts.

I have little room to critique since I use the all caps thing way too much. I'm working on that.

In this case, I did get your sarcasm.

52. Typing in ALL CAPS violates a rule of how to behave on an internet forum...
Rule 1: Try not to be a douche bag.

Oops, too late, you broke it.

18. Polls are still open
for another 33 minutes in Vermont. So I don't like to hear about anyone calling it for anyone.

That being said, I will be very surprised if Obama does not win Vermont.

32. i believe it's legal
drudge blew prince harry's cover in afghanistan, and he's the first to announce vermont goes to obama.

drudge will put news on his site regardless of the consequences.

considering vermont is going to be an obama landslide, i don't think it's going to change anything in this case though

57. The State of Vermont is a Superior State of Being
You just have to love it when you read that White men voted 2 to 1 for Obama.

What a tremendous mandate for change and for reducing our Military spending.

Don't forget if we weren't spending 4 trillion on a war that "should have never been waged," we wouldnt even be worrying about NAFTA.
