Anyone else watching the Roll Call of States
When you watch how easily Obama is reaching the 2210 needed, you realize that M$M is a fucking circus.
Every controversy was a figment of their 'divide and rule' agenda.

Gobama!!

2. Except it was rigged a little bit. If you're listening to any of the
talking heads, you heard that's one of the reasons Calif. passed. That was the one State so far that had more Clinton votes than Obama. I still believe he has more total votes, but I find the games we play to be quite amusing.

3. Frankly, I think it looks a little humiliating for Hillary
Barack is so far ahead. Did Hillary not realize how the count would add up? Or did she allow this so it pounded it into her die hard supporters heads that Hillary did not get enough votes for it to be a close call?

My husband kept saying that the M$M coverage was just a bunch of school kids yelling "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!"

8. Not really, she released her delegates earlier today
Edited on Wed Aug-27-08 06:22 PM by Warpy
which means she had absolutely no intention of a close vote to salve her ego. It was a classy move for her to make and I applaud her for making it.

This is showing party unity. I can't fault any of the delegates who voted for her, it's their right. I am delighted, however, that so many switched to Obama.

4. And the state delegations are a bunch of pompous asses.
Excuse the description but blah blah blah blah blah about how their state is so great. Naming people that the rest of the country or other delegates could care less about.

Come on they could cut down the superlative descriptions a bit and still be colorful. In fact, it would be easier to remember.

That's what conventions are about.

Hillary that is one class act sister - suspend the rules and declare Barack Obama the sole candidate.

Sister you have redeemed yourself!!! Respect due!!!

18. I just turned GEM$NBC off and back to c-span. David Gregory turns my stomach and I want to hear
Schumer, my other Senator.

16. Yep, and I'm in tears watching Sen. Clinton...
this was a very classy thing to do. I was hoping to see the TN delegation looking for 2 women from my women's club on the TV, but that's not gonna happen.

17. yeah, I watched it from the puma site- capital hill
a little like watching an accident- you can't turn away, but you really don't want to see it all. They are all stark raving mad, making little comments like F#**k H- when she cast her vote, commenting on how they will work for McCain, Skinner has a little pee pee? and more. Sadly, many of them are former Du'ers. I just wanted to check in and see what they all said after Hillary's speech last night, but it was closed to guests and the roll call was on. It did state that if you wanted to join, you had to proclaim that you weren't an Obama supporter. This is so immature and stupid- guess they really want 4 more years of Bush.:shrug:

21. That crazy german is messing with us
It's nice and cool, overcast but we've had very little rain so far. Looks to me like the forecasters got this wrong. He looks like he's skirting around a ridge and reshaping South of us - that is bad news for Gulf States.

John Lewis is almost in tears here. It was all worth the struggle.
