MSNBC: CLINTON WINS OHIO!!! SIZEABLE LEAD IN TEXAS!!!! COMEBACK QUEEN!!! TRUE GRIT!!!
Edited on Tue Mar-04-08 11:09 PM by itsrobert
Looks like she's going to win Ohio and Texas. Looks like the gloss is off the Obama campaign. CONVENTION FIGHT LOOMS.

Sorry... I wanted to claim it before an Obama supporter came up with it.

8. absolutely love that label, Crone
a wise, very powerful woman who can see far into the future and learns from the past. Not a bad thing to have for a Madame President, right?

70. MSNBC called it with 55% of votes counted - no bias there
and they will be counting ballots in Obama areas till 4 AM.

92. your multi millionaire candidate is destroying the democratic party
I've worked hard to see to it that people's votes counts, and it pisses me off to see an election called before the friggin votes are counted. Especially at 55%. I know about how corrupt elections are in Ohio and Texas, thats nothing new. I predicted problems there.

Hillary is a huge crook - where do you think the $54 Million came from?

Why do you think her tax returns will never see the light of day.

She didn't even write her own book, it took a friggin village to write it.


If she ends up with the nomination, then many states will lose their democratic majorities.
If not this year, then the next election.

The Clinton's have shamed the democratic party, they enabled the right wingers to
denigrate the name "Democrat".

What a rotten crook who doesn't mind taking the Democratic Party down, its just $54 million
more for her pockets to line.

22. CNN exit polls say otherwise ...
Rhode Island -

Male (43%) - 56% Obama, 43% Clinton
Female (57%) - 58% Clinton, 41% Obama

Ohio -

Male (41%) - 52% Obama, 47% Clinton
Female (59%) - 54% Clinton, 45% Obama

Texas -

Male (43%) - 52% Obama, 46% Clinton
Female (57%) - 53% Clinton, 46% Obama

----------------------
Now crunching the numbers ...
If the above exit poll numbers hold ...
Clinton wins RI with 53%
Clinton wins Ohio with 52%
Clinton wins Texas with 52%

Hayhoooooooo...A trifecta for Hillary

The caucus will go to Obama, and he'll end up with more delegates in TX than Hillary.

I can see Ohio, but not TX - particularly with the early vote.

She may not even gain on the delegate count tonight. Obama has 50+ SuperD's ready in the wing. The Texas Caucus will go to Obama.

No convention fight. One vote to NOminee Obama.

They're all politicians.

I have to say though, I think both Obama and Hillary have more balls than McCain, that's for sure.

and you turn them into a villain.

Congratulations! People like you will guarantee that we will lose in November.

No one wants to work with people who constantly-well, I can't say it in a nice way. Let's just say this-the person you were chastising above probably won't want to volunteer for any campaign if s/he is exposed to supporters like yourself.

The old adage about catching more flies with honey does hold water.

43. Nope. Hillary won't be the nominee but she can kill Obama so that McCain wins.
The fact that Hillary supporters don't see what she is doing is incredible. She can't win unless the supers ignore the voters. They're not going to do that.

So, it will be Obama as the nominee after being attacked nonstop by the Republicans AND the Clinton machine.

The Clintons really don't care about anyone but themselves.

75. True. The Clintons wouldn't mind McCain over Obama.
In their moribund boomer sellout politics, McCain is family. They're perfectly fine with his Bush-lite agenda having practiced it themselves for years.

An Obama victory, by contrast, would be disaster. It would almost surely permanently close down Hillary's hopes of wearing the crown.

So look for the scorched earth policy. If they can't destroy Obama before he gets the nod, they'll help elect McCain. A large number of their sad boomer fans will defect, too.

63. Sorry to dissappoint ...
the only thing she has managed to do is not fall farther behind. She needs big wins pretty much everywhere, and that has not happened.
Remember, it is the delegate count that matters.

The sooner she gets out, the sooner we can start running for President, instead of destroying the party.

Cheers
Drifter

65. Comeback? She was expected to win Ohio by 20 points 2 weeks ago.
That's hardly a comeback.

67. Everyone slow down a bit... the largest Obama county in Ohio hasn't been counted.
Everyone called it for Hillary but Obama is still up in the delegate count.

71. I'm Counting on Hillary to get me a Job
I think most people voting for Hillary expect she will get them a new job.

Talk about pie in the sky dreaming, this has to take the cake.

Just how does Hillary expect to change the global economy? By placing barriers on free trade? Brilliant move Hill.

Why should I be surprised....If this country can elect George Bush for 2 terms Hillary can easily take this nomination.

73. Sizeable lead?
Enjoy your 1% lead while you can spin it. It will turn into an Obama lead by next morning. Dallas and Houston still have to speak.

77. Seems like the Obama supporters have Hope!
Hope doesn't pay the rent or vote.

74. Kick and rec for Hillary Clinton 44th President of the United States...
I hope she wins Texas. Obama should drop out for the good of the party.

81. I have to give it up for Hillary, she is a fighter. We have a lot of wrongs to right after Bush and
you know that fight isn't going to be easy. As a person you have to admire Hillary's will and perserverance. You go Hillary!

85. They should bring back duels with swords.
Or use the Aaron Burr method for settling disputes, to create excitement.

94. So is that what they are doing? A "Find a Scandal" contest for Hillary supporters?...
Edited on Wed Mar-05-08 02:52 PM by calipendence
Sheesh! I guess they learned from those going after Bill during the impeachment years well! :(

93. It's like cheering at a basketball game when one is 20 points down with 2 minutes left...
... in the game, saying they won because they came back from a 30 point deficit they had 10 minutes earlier when they still had a chance to make a comeback...

Of course perhaps they'll get the powers that be to still "fix" the results for them (kind of like the Olympic officials did with the American basketball team many years back), so they'll feel justified in their cheering now.
