Thank you.

I'm tired of "Hillary as VP" talk.

Obama has earned the right to pick his own VP and he should stand up to the Democratic Pooh-Bahs who want Hillary as VP.

rikyrah:

I think Rachel was correct in saying that Hillary wants "scorched earth.

NBC calls it for Hillary in Indiana:

51% to 49% for Obama.

"Shallow point - loved the fit of Michelle's dress, not too crazy about the color"
I agree with you. The style & fit were outstanding. She looks great in Peacock Blue & other cooler colors not the hotter neons.

I'm only talking about rubbish because the Indiana-spawned anxiety is killing me. I can't breathe!!

Olbermann has been hilarious.

So has Rachel Maddow. ...when she said that Obama should mow down Hillpatine, I nearly choked on the dessert I was eating.

And, Chuck Todd has been giddy with his math..he's finally allowed to slam the math hammer over and over, with nobody coming back to him with bullshit scenarios that he has to play along with like they can come to reality.

OMG!

I take back what I said earlier, I'm a poor elitist, so I'm going to sip my cheap merlot and celebrate!!!!

Even if she holds on by a strand in Indiana...OBAMA has won the night!!!!

There is HOPE!!!

Hi Truthseeker (or anybody),
Please break it down for me. Are the absentee votes from just Lake County (which sounds high), or from Indiana in total?

If the 11,000 absentee votes are statewide, then is Lake County holding their cards so that they are in a position to crown Obama?

Indiana is absolutely the birthplace of the Klan. Not counting Gary and Naptown, it's redneck country. That's why I was so worried about Obama winning it. But God had other plans!!!

And thanks to everyone in North Carolina, that's what's UP!

Lawd, I will be sleeping with a smile on my face tonight!

Re: Election Thread…Obama Wins North Carolina

Ms.Martin — Tue, 06 May 2008 23:43:00 -0000

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Thank you North Carolina.

I hope he wins Indiana so she can retract that "I broke the tie" I need more money speech.

Donna Brazile was setting folks straight tonight.

Can anyone give a good reason for Obama to have Hillary as his VP?

I don't see it.

Harold Ford needs to shut up.

I would be so happy if Obama eeks out even the most miniscule lead in IN. They are talking about her huge debt now on MSNBC, hence, her begging in her "victory" speech. Her speech stunk. It was stupid. She is so fake. And what's up with Bill? His face looked so red on my tv, and everyone else looked normal.

Tim Russert talked about her dropping out if Obama agrees to pay off her debt. I hope he doesn't do it!!!!! Let her pay for her own dirty politics.

Harold Ford also plucks my nerves.

I don't think Hillbilly is going to campaign for Obama like the spinners think they are. And I wouldn't trust them anyway. When bill goes out to campaign,he wants to talk about what all he has done anyway. If she was his VP, I wouldn't vote for him, because to me, that would show crazy judgement.

Did you guys hear Jeff Toobin? He thought it suspicious that Lake county refused to release partial results until absentee ballots were counted. It could cover up any irregularities with the count if you can't see an jump in the numbers.

Imagine, my people, if there was no re-emergence of Rev. Wright.

Imagine his margins of victory in both states.

Obama needs 60% of the remaining votes to win this thing!

I agree. This woman has no intention of helping unite the party. If she did she would have congratulated Obama right at the top of her speech. She would have asked her supporters to give him a round of applause.

Now, she's going to try and twist the arm of the Dems to seat FL and MI.

Unbelievable!

Hillary Rodham Nixon is a certifiable sociopath.

Lake County is late for two reasons:

1) Two polling places had to stay open way past the deadline because machines weren't turned on earlier today.

2) Voter turnout in Gary and Hammond was as big as a general election and they simply can't count the ballots fast enough. MSNBC reported that they had to bring in extra counters.

truthseeker,

I didn't hear it either. She didn't thank the people of NC either.

Re: Election Thread…Obama Wins North Carolina

rikyrah — Tue, 06 May 2008 22:51:00 -0000

truthseeker,

she hasn't congratulated him publicly since Super Tuesday...why change that now?

Re: Election Thread…Obama Wins North Carolina

Craig Hickman — Tue, 06 May 2008 22:49:00 -0000

As chair of the DLC, Harold Ford is a Clinton surrogate to be sure even though he hasn't declared support for her yet.

However, he was pushing all night for a joint ticket with Obama at the top since 7:30 when NC was called.

He wants Clinton to stop attacking Obama and bring the party together starting tomorrow.

There were also rumors a few weeks ago that if Clinton could get the nomination, he would be her runningmate in order to try to recapture the Black vote. But those were rumors at best.

Wait a sec....she didn't congratulate Obama!!!! Or did I miss it?
