Obama wins decisively - McCain also

[Bill]

Poor Huck - he represents the failure of the evangelicals and the "Values Voters".

Clinton, I have little sympathy for, since she decided to support the Telcoms and Bush.

Obama is the guy.

Poor frankie, he was counting on Hillary to rule the day.

And Hillary needed to win Wisconsin going into Texas too. Boo hoo. :lmao2:


Will the superdelegates dare to defy the will of the people? Will Hillary insist that despite popular opinion she's the better choice? Will OBama feel sorry for her and make her VP?

Will she even settle for VP? How desperate is Hillary. Tune in tomorrow for another episode of "As the Stomach Turns."

Hehehe

LOL, I thought this was humorous....Hillary getting cut off by the networks. What a slap in the face.

In a speech in Ohio shortly after the polls closed in Wisconsin, she alluded to what her campaign considers Mr. Obama’s lack of experience, and his support for a health insurance plan that would not initially seek to cover all Americans.

“This is the choice we face: One of us is ready to be commander in chief in a dangerous world,” Mrs. Clinton said in the remarks, which she also planned to expand upon in a speech in New York City on Wednesday. “One of us has faced serious Republican opposition in the past — and one of us is ready to do it again.” Mrs. Clinton did not mention the Wisconsin results; she did, however, call Mr. Obama to congratulate him on the victory.

As Mrs. Clinton was speaking, Mr. Obama appeared on stage at a rally in Texas, effectively cutting her off as cable television networks dropped her in midsentence, a telling sign of the showmanship power of a front-runner.

“Houston, I think we achieved liftoff here,” Mr. Obama told a crowd of 20,000 people in that city as he hailed the voters of Wisconsin. “The change we seek is still months and miles away, and we need the good people of Texas to help us get there.”


America has not forgotten Bill's lies to them. He may have been a good president but when caught with his pants down???? And Hillary's "stand by your man no matter what the cost" attitude does not speak well for her. It may make her a "good wife" but not necessarily a good president.

She's also resorting to dirty politics. Something usually reserved for republicans. I think Americans are tired of mudslinging and dirty politics. They want to hear a message of hope and they know choosing the seasoned veterans isn't going to get them that. A new face and new ideas are needed. The fact that OBama hasn't been around being corrupted for a long time is what is appealing about him. And as was pointed out, he has as much experience as any of them going into the Oval Office. What he doesn't have is jaded thinking.

As for Obama and Hillary, Texas, Pennsylvania and Ohio are yet to vote. Things are too tight to predict until then. At best we have to wait until March 4 to see what happens and maybe even April 22. At worst case it will be very hot.

For Huckabee it's really sad that he can still get so many votes. Do these people really want the Bible to have more authority then The Constitution?

[Independent Harry]

I'm excited, the first black president. I didn't think we would see if for many more years.

[kres24GT]

Just the opposite on Huckabee, the fact he did so well shows the power of the RR. He had no money and was considered a nobody until the votes started coming in. IF McCain does not make him VP he will be soundly defeated by Obama and maybe even Hillary.

Obama is probably the best choice. He wills till increase spending, increase the size of government, take away freedoms, but so will all the others, he seems like he would at least be a good leader. I wouldn't vote for him but if I had to choose between he or Hillary, or McCain, it would be him.

Don't count the chickens before they have hatched.

I think we would have had a minority president a lot sooner if we wouldn't consider being a "christian" instead of "qualified" as the criteria for voting.

Also looks like MI and FL will count for Hillary after all.

Way to display the hope and unity that your candidate is so fond of talking about. Who, BTW, is not above negative campaigning, himself.

I swear, I didn't think it was possible for me to become any more cynical about politics, but the Obama supporters of this primary season have done it.

(I say "Obama supporters" instead of "Democrats" because many of them claim to be "independent or Republican".)

This relentless nastiness is beyond discouraging. Obama is apparently a one-man "I am a uniter". (gee, where have we heard that before?) Because his supporters sure as hell aren't displaying any talents in that direction.

Oh blow it out your butt LRD. NOT every insult is made to be so seriously taken. Are you taking lessons from Cat Slave now?

Frankie and I are both used to poking a little fun at each other's expense. Neither of us get worked up over it.

Just calling it like I see it.

And, you just proved my point. Obama supporters are ETREMELY touchy about any criticism of their candidate. While telling everybody else to put up and shut up.

A, I never told anyone to put up or shut up.

B, I'm not being touchy my friend, you are. LOL. If you are really having that much trouble telling the difference, might I recommend engaging your brain before responding to what you perceive must be touchy behavior? It will help.

Yes, in response to your oversensitive and overblown exaggeration of the situation.

I called it accurately. A Pity that you couldn't.

Whatever. If you think I'm going to get into one of those pissing matches that you're so fond of, you're mistaken.

Unity and good will , my ass. I'll let your posts speak for themselves. I guess like your candidate, you're all talk, no action.

When did I EVER say that we should all get along?

I can set aside my differences with someone to create something better. However, we haven't reached that point in the process yet have we? And I'll let your pointless criticisms on behavior in your posts speak for themselves and where your "unity" lies.
