    I agree; this is the biggest win of the night.


    West Virginia's going for the Borg Queen was expected...and sends a message that Obama shouldn't go where he's not wanted. I just hate the Borg Queen used the race card to get an election that really doesn't mean a thing regarding the delegates and superdelegates, but she'll play it up like she won the nomination. UGH

    For some reason not one of the networks or wire services is bothering with your pretend-world "biggest win of the night". LOL. Nice try.

    Go Hillary! (If not in 08, then in 12) :-)))))))))))))))

    Funny that. I just watched Mike Huckabee (who campaigned for Davis BTW) on MSNBC absolutely crestfallen talking about how this means the Republicans are in serious trouble in November.



    LOL. Nice try.

    Operation Chaos backfired. All those Rethugs who voted for Hillary Rodham Nixon in the Democratic primary were disqualified from this special election.

    You're absolutely right. The MS win is huge. And even moreso because they spent more than $1M, brought in big-gun Cheney, and tried to smear the Dem with Wright. They lost and they lost big. We're now 3 for 3 in heavily R districts!


    Go Dems! Go Obama!

    You know this whole primary seems as if it's just a game to a lot of Hillary supporters. It just baffles me when I hear things like...(if not in 08, then in 2012) nonsense. It's not a highschool football rivalry. It's the state of this nation folks. I bet they are totally passing by the victory in Mississippi, and what it means. Wake up! Get over yourselves and pay attention.

    Ms Martin-


    Its two-fold



    First-Hagee story has been getting more traction on cable news shows and I am sure that internal polling showed Catholic vote may go dem in November. Indiana, PA are two states where they will matter.



    Second..Rev Wright will not go away--they will resurrect him--but Hagee's apology makes him go away---sort of...LOOK my nutty pastor apologized--yours hasnt!!

    It's personal to a lot of people, though, and has been ever since Obama won Iowa. Ever since then, the Clinton campaign has been sounding the foghorn that Obama is taking "their" spot and he only got to where is he because he's black. That plays well to a lot of white people because a lot of white people have stories about how they were up for some job but they hired a black instead or their kid couldn't get into college because a black kid "took their spot." So, I think a lot of white supporters of Hillary Clinton want her to stay in the race not just because they feel she's the best candidate, but because they feel she's "fighting for them..." she's just like them because she understands what it's like to have a job / college admission / dream snatched away and given to somebody black. It's just very personal now.



    I couldn't tell you why Stephanie Tubbs Jones cheers Hillary and her antics on, though.

    Does anyone wonder why Obama didn't campaign in WV aside from the obvious reason that he wasn't going to win it?


    I wonder if there was some kind of threat?

    No, he won't win WV and since the general election is winner take all, he should focus his efforts in Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia and leave WV alone.

    Well, that's the narrative the Clinton campaign has been spinning since Super Tuesday, that only blacks and eggheads vote for Obama, while working class meat and potatoes white people vote for Clinton.





    Except that white, working class meat and potatoes type of people tend to vote Republican in presidential elections.

    I didn't respond to your earlier question about Clinton surrogates because I am so sick of them all, but I think Lanny Davis is the one.



    I really don't like him at all.



    He was so bad tonight that Larry King kept reminding him that he had already said things he kept repeating (on purpose).



    I can't wait until this is over, I can't wait, I can't wait to watch them all eat shit.

    I think HRC and posse are trying to render AAs powerless in the Dem voting process.


    Wait until she finds out about all the AAs I'm going to register after she's gone. I'm going to make it my goal and life's mission for the next several month's to find every unregistered voter in my town and register them.

    it can be found on Dailykos.


    ed schultz also noted that he expects "several more" to come out tommorrow. If he can pull off 30 orso SDs per week, (which is his current pace) Fl and MI really wont matter.2025 can be hit by the end of the month.

    Well Fox Noise had "Black vote too small to make impact" scrolling at the bottom of the screen, but I do wonder why they didn't say "92% of the Black Vote was for Obama."
