I'm noticing the more populous counties are going towards Obama, whereas the nearly all white, nothing to see but farm ones are headed her way, often in a 2:1 fashion. I noticed that her margin just shrank on CNN though. After all, Indiana is for once important in a primary and we'd better not blow it.Turquoise wrote:
Well, Desert, as the votes come in, that margin of victory for Hillary just keeps shrinking. It's still possible that Obama won your state.
He's kicking serious ass in my state.
Does that include bowing out from a possible vice-Presidency also?Kmarion wrote:

Why the fuck court the votes of people for a PRIMARY that would never vote for you in a general election and then use that as an argument that you could win a general election?"I voted for her because I think McCain would beat her," said one, Lee Engledow, 57, an Army veteran and the owner of a lawn care company eating lunch at the Indianapolis deli/cafeteria Shapiro's. He said he likes Obama, but he thinks he'd cut the military, and doesn't think the troops should be pulled out of Iraq.
More Republicans who crossed over seem to have done so either for more straightforward reasons -- they prefer one of the Democrats to the other, at least as a second choice, and may be considering crossing over in the general election.
That was the case with Larry Lamanna, 60, a Lou Dobbs fan and former Romney supporter at another table who doesn't like John McCain's stance on immigration.
He said he was "thrilled" to hear Clinton say she'd "obliterate" Iran. "It's time someone spanked those people," he said.
He said he's keeping an open mind for November, but is leaning "60-40" to McCain.

The superdelegates will not go against the party leader at the time. They have enough egg on their face as it is. The only possible scenario that could shake Obama's inevitable nomination is FL and MI. Obama is killing her even with the Superdelegate factor counted (It's nearly tied).S.Lythberg wrote:

She may drop out to save the party and take the runner up spot as VP, or she may stay in thinking she can win at the convention.

We'll have to see how it all plays out, but stealing a primary isn't a good way to win voter confidence.Kmarion wrote:

You do realize that every viable political analyst has pronounced her dead (right and left)? The media loves a show.
No actually the math has gotten a little better..lol. You could have at least been a little more modern and referenced the Gore fiasco. Primaries are much more predictable.. trends are easy to spot, as opposed to a one night do or die scenario.S.Lythberg wrote:

Either way, they've done a lot of damage to each other, McCain's not gonna have much left to do.
Ha, it's not gonna happen, I know, but the Rev. Wright fiasco may have sealed Obama's coffin for the general election.Kmarion wrote:

If you want to see the Dems completely self destruct keep praying for that Clinton win though.

True, nowadays a web search for Al Gore returns images of him making out with polar bears.S.Lythberg wrote:
