He was so certain that he didn't take time in the middle of his 18 hour shift to go vote. Yeah, the fundies ALWAYS vote, barring the rapture, they will be at the polls.

This year I'm calling Billary. As disgusting as it is, as much as it hurts me personally, and makes me want to cry for the lost hope of democracy and freedom, that evil bitch knows how to play the game. Hillary with Edwards as VP.

I'm pretty sure Bush didn't "win" 04, rather, Kerry lost it for the Democrats.

Record turnout in evangelical circles coupled with apathy among liberals= Bush got 51% of the vote. Semantics mean little when, at the end of the day, he won by a clear majority.

Swear I saw a report on at least one big state (Ohio?) having shady business going on pushing it into Bush's favor.

Yeah, there were reports of the Democrats doing similar stuff. Wouldn't it be nice to live in one of those countries with scandal free elections? I'm not sure that there are any, but if there are, I may look into it. It would be nice to look at the election results, any election results, and actually believe them for a change.

I love how CNN called the race with 0% of votes counted

So far (3% counted) they're spot on though.

chaos · 01-26-2008, 04:51 PM

I flipped to CNN at 6:45ish, they were talking about the polls about to close, and that they were going over exit polling data, etc. At 7 they announced that the polls were closed. At 7:00:05 they announced Obama as the winner

It was pretty funny.

Malakriss · 01-26-2008, 05:04 PM

Obama had 75%+ of the Black votes in every age category, and over 50% of the Non-Blacks in 18-29 for the exit poll demographics.

They didn't need to wait those 15 minutes.

Obama crushed Clinton in NC. Even a close win here was a huge win for Obama, but to have such a route...Obama just took one major step closer towards the nomination.

Araxen · 01-26-2008, 06:32 PM

I hope this carries over to Super Tuesday.

JFK's Daughter is going to endorse Obama.

There have been rumblings Ted Kennedy will also endorse Obama too.

I can't help but wonder about Time's word choice in titling this article:

Obama's Rout Rejiggers the Race

I'm Rich Bitch · 01-26-2008, 09:38 PM

Fuck the Clintons. Fuck Bill. Fuck Hillary. Fuck Chelsea. I would do a write in vote for George Bush again before a Clinton.

Bill downplays Obama's victory and compares it to Jesse Jackson:

For Bill Clinton, Echoes of Jackson in Obama Win | The Trail | washingtonpost.com

In other words Bill is discrediting Obama's win and comparing him to a hack like Jesse Jackson. I guess he forgot he won SC by 45-points in the state's 1992 primary. Oh yea, also SC has been a Republican state and voted for George Bush both times. Obama got more than double that of the Republican winner McCain.

Borzak · 01-26-2008, 10:38 PM

Does anybody really "want" an endoresement from Ted Kennedy?

It's pretty good evidence for Morris's theory.

Redstate has a particularly nasty take on this strategy here.

Astrocreep · 01-27-2008, 12:07 AM

Its gotta be intentional becuase Hillary as smart as she thinks she is would at some point sayto Bill , "Hey douschebag be quiet and go finger a schoolgirl or something. im trying to win an election here and you're stirring shit up"
