- aliengoods, on 04/25/2008, -6/+5So? If you're going to bitch, bitch about the Rick Rolls that diggers seem to love.
- jedmed, on 04/25/2008, -3/+6If Hillary wins the primary, I will definitely vote for John McCain or Ron Paul. Anyone but Hillary.
At this point in the process the DNC needs to know that a Hillary Democratic Presidential nominee could very likely result in the demise of the Democratic Party. At the very least it will undoubtedly result in John McCain being elected President. What a disaster.- sugarazor, on 04/25/2008, -1/+3I seem to remember people being unhappy with the last two Democratic nominees... which got us eight years of Bush. I'm no Hillary fan, but anything is better than the continued policies of the Bush Administration. Voting for McCain is just plain stupid.
- YourDoom123, on 04/25/2008, -2/+2umm... ron paul dropped out... sorry to have to break it to you.
- purzzzell, on 04/26/2008, -0/+3um - no, he actually hasn't - sorry to break it to you.
- xerigen, on 04/26/2008, -1/+2No he didn't. Get your facts straight
- purzzzell, on 04/26/2008, -1/+2I'm voting Obama or Libertarian - I'm in NY, it doesn't matter, we're going dem.
I would be voting RP - and Obama is a POOR substitute. RP , sadly, it appears will not win the rep primary and has sworn he won't run third party. - KLBP, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1Just say no to dynasties. If Hillary wins, it would mean that two families will have controlled the White House for 24-28 years (Bush Sr., Bill C., Bush Jr., Hillary C.). Who would we elect next? Jeb Bush?
We can not get past the partisan politics we have seen for the past 20 years until we get passed the partisans who have run things for the past 20 years. Obama can do this. I am a registered Dem, I attend my state's caucuses and I go to my state's Dem conventions, but if Hillary wins, I'm voting McCain to try and prevent a continuation of the dynasties. I do not like McCain's political views, but I like and respect him as a person. I can not say this about Hillary, just like her hubby, she lies and will say anything to get power, she is not trustworthy. I used to like BC, but having seen his behavior on the campaign trail I have grown to dislike him intensely.
- jbenson2, on 04/25/2008, -11/+8I love Obama.
......Every Republican loves Obama.
............President McCain loves Obama.- StarlessKnight, on 04/25/2008, -2/+3And people say Obama supporters are delusional. "President" McCain, indeed. Six months to go until the vote, sparky. Two and a half after the Democratic Convention if it even goes that far. I think there's a little leeway in there.
- crweaks23, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2I dugg you up. The more people that think that, the better for Obama. It's going to be great watching that flip flopper squirm in presidential debates... as long as it's not about the economy, since he'll just say he's brain dead about that topic so he can't answer the question.
- jbenson2, on 04/25/2008, -6/+3Thanks for the vote of confidence. I also am looking forward to the debate between McCain and the Marxist, gun-grabbing, tax-raising, freedom-loathing, elitist, big government-loving, terrorist-sympathizing political ideologue.

I just voted early in Indiana with about 20 others for HILLARY CLINTON!! If Obama wins the primary, I will be writing in Hillary's name on the GE ticket. Anyone but Obama!- purzzzell, on 04/26/2008, -2/+2McCain instead of Obama?
- ZHEStorm, on 04/26/2008, -2/+1I realize what I just wrote. No, I won't be voting for McCain (should Obama win the Democratic nomination). If it's McCain and Obama on the ballot, my vote will be a write-in of Hillary Clinton.

- orangefly, on 04/25/2008, -1/+13i think that's the plan man....
- RRJackson, on 04/25/2008, -8/+3The difference in votes between Obama and Clinton is 1.7%. Give it a rest.
- StarlessKnight, on 04/25/2008, -1/+3Seems Hillary doesn't share your sentiment, claiming she's got the upper hand (if you count FL and MI). Since she thinks its an important gauge to go by, why shouldn't KidTechno?
- RRJackson, on 04/25/2008, -2/+1Clinton and Obama are politicians. Their job is to take the subtle and nuanced details of life in this country and spin them into clear and compelling evidence that their opponent is opportunistic scum. It becomes a truly unfortunate situation when their constituents believe them. That's actually one of the most persuasive arguments against Obama. He's way too good at making people believe him. I don't want a politician whose lies are hard to spot. I want a politician whose lies are embarrassingly transparent. In the case of someone like our current president, it doesn't seem to matter when it's obvious that he's not telling the truth because he always seems to get away with it, but at least the ***** is easy to spot. If he was as smooth as Obama I'm pretty sure we wouldn't even be having an election right now.
- KidTechno, on 04/28/2008, -0/+1because guess what, they don't count...
- defska42, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3You have obviously been influenced by Hilary's hype. Your 1.7% total doesn't include 4 caucus states where the popular vote was never released. Predicting popular vote count based on caucus results, the vote total is actually a 2.1% Obama lead, a spread of over 610,000 votes. That total still doesn't include Texas' caucus votes.
Furthermore, if you combine Clinton's popular vote win in her last three big state popular vote victories (PA, TX, OH), her vote spread was less than 550,000 votes. There isn't a single state of the 9 remaining (including Guam and P.R.) anywhere near the size of any of those (NC is closest and Obama is favored). Obama's lead in popular vote is insurmountable. Period.
Furthermore, POPULAR VOTES DON'T DECIDE THE ELECTION. Obama's lead is even larger in delegate votes (about 4%). Get over yourself.
Source: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/presi ... - defska42, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1...and just to clarify above, even if you do not include those caucus states, and honor your "1.7%" claim, Obama's 510,000 vote lead would still be impossible for Clinton to overcome given the remaining states.
- StarlessKnight, on 04/25/2008, -1/+3Seems Hillary doesn't share your sentiment, claiming she's got the upper hand (if you count FL and MI). Since she thinks its an important gauge to go by, why shouldn't KidTechno?

- Drewboy64, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1She can't win period...
- jbenson2, on 04/25/2008, -3/+2Politics is a tough sport. The job of an opponent is to hurt the O-man's chances of winning.
- StarlessKnight, on 04/25/2008, -1/+4The job of an opponent, of the same party, should be to show why they're better while doing as little as possible to damage the likelihood of the eventual, party candidate being elected come the General Election, whichever candidate that may be. Unless, of course, you don't support your party, which is all well and good for the individual, but kinda of awkward for a party politician. Probably won't help get the party backers to support them ever again since they do tend to work along party lines.
- jbenson2, on 04/25/2008, -2/+1Your 2nd and 3rd sentences are wonderful descriptions of why the Democrat Presidential primary is in a melt-down situation.

- jabberwolf, on 04/25/2008, -8/+2OBAMA HAS NO CHANCE TO WIN THE PRESIDENCY !!
That's why Hillary is running and the super delegates are seeing this. Had it not been for Florida and Michigan being excluded, Hillary would be winning.
Remember, just because the democrats through out Florida and Michigan doesnt mean the final election will !- infamousjre, on 04/25/2008, -1/+3Hillary ran unopposed in michigan. Obama wasn't even on the ballot and therefor could not get votes. This is the only reason she would lead if they were counted.
- ZHEStorm, on 04/26/2008, -4/+2Wrong. Obama is hurting his chances to win because he isn't as well known. People are just now seeing who he really is... and they aren't liking it! Even with outspending her 3-to-1 he is still losing!
Hillary '08! Anyone but Obama!- hinchb, on 04/26/2008, -1/+3You realize that over time in almost every contest that they've been in he has gained votes and she's lost them to him? You know, that point that he brought up in the video.
- 5suki, on 04/26/2008, -1/+1I realize this, hinchb, but HRC has a following that believes whatever she says, like that she has more votes currently. This is, however, only true when you count FL votes and discount all MI votes besides hers. She makes up her own rules in Hillaryland and the blind simply follow along.
- hinchb, on 04/26/2008, -1/+3You realize that over time in almost every contest that they've been in he has gained votes and she's lost them to him? You know, that point that he brought up in the video.
- KLBP, on 04/25/2008, -2/+18Notice Hillary's statement about "more votes by people who have voted," her claim DOES NOT COUNT individual votes from many caucus states as these states typically break down their results by pledged delegates, NOT individual votes. There is no question that if the individual votes in caucus states were counted towards the overall popular vote, Obama would be leading the nation wide popular vote in addition to leading in the delegate count.
In Hillary's view of things caucus states should not count towards who gets nominated because she can't win when the voters actually sit down and discuss the candidates before casting their vote.- colomboj, on 04/25/2008, -1/+10And since I live in a caucus state there is nothing that pisses me off more that the words "popular vote". Hillary Clinton argues that "everyones vote should count" but hay screw those caucus states anyway right?
- x0rcist, on 04/25/2008, -0/+11Her statement about "more votes by people who have voted" do not count the people who voted uncommitted in Michigan because Obama's name was not on the ballot. If those uncommitted voters go to Obama, and keep in mind it was something like 40% still voted for him when he wasn't even there, Obama is ahead.
Hey Hillary, if you're going to count all the "people who have voted" then let's count ALL of them.
- NonLeftistDiggr, on 04/25/2008, -18/+5olberman sheds light on the other shows on cable. so if one watches other shows they can watch his show where he will talk non stop about the other shows.
- jbenson2, on 04/25/2008, -2/+4Good point. And there is something wrong with his voice - he talks like he is shouting all the time. Just imagine if he sat in the table next to you at a restaurant. I pity his poor wife and children.
- kipmartin, on 04/25/2008, -4/+3ever heard of English as a Second Language? look into it.
- NonLeftistDiggr, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2Okay, I'll dumb it down for you, everytime I watch his show I get tired of listening to him endlessly drone on about other people's shows. I am capable of watching programs on my own and making decisions about them. All he does is bag on other journalists, Oreily is hardly the only one.
- 5urr3al5am, on 04/25/2008, -3/+2olberman is a real dill-hole.. I can't stand to listen to him talk about other media outlets.. maybe he should just talk about the news.. better yet, I'll just watch someone, thanks!
- bozeKitty, on 04/25/2008, -2/+22This "if you count as I count" shtick is empty and pointless, but it's all Clinton has left. She can hang around and continue to embarrass herself on the off chance Obama gets assassinated or abducted by aliens, but there's nothing she can do to win. The 10% win in PA only gained her one delegate, and I think the $10m she raised off it was about equal to the debt she was carrying already.
- colomboj, on 04/25/2008, -1/+2I think you got it backwards there, she won something like 18 delgates... and I think she raised like 2 million. Needless to say it's over, it has been for a long time now, someone just needs to tell her it's over. (come on Bill I know you can do it!)
- JakobVirgil, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3her net gain was 7 delegates.
-Jake - kipmartin, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2and her take in contributions was $10M. she will likely get another $10M or more before the end of the month. thats fine--its over anyways.
better she pays her bills and spreads the money out than keep it for shady land deals with the Rose Law firm.

- DiggLive, on 04/25/2008, -33/+2It's Obama's fault he took his name off the ballot, no one forced him. Award all the delegates to Hillary. Obama doesn't want a revote in FL/MI because he knows he'll lose his pledged delegate and slim popular vote lead.
***** all the pro-Obama groupthink on Digg.- Smiths, on 04/25/2008, -2/+13That's some A+ trolling there...
- jbenson2, on 04/25/2008, -4/+2You mean the "Yes, we can!" trolls?
- GhostyBoy, on 04/25/2008, -1/+11I don't really like Obama at all (he won't get out of Iraq, just watch), but Hillary is the worst candidate in the race. They made an agreement and now she wants to go back on it. She is willing to change the rules until they say what she wants them to say.
- Knikes, on 04/25/2008, -2/+3You are a moron.
- flintmecha, on 04/25/2008, -1/+7Actually, Obama took his name off the ballot because he was following party rules. All of the other Democratic nominees at the time did the same thing. Clinton was the only one who didn't, in an effort to be sneaky.
- DiggLive, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1Source the rule where it says removal from the ballot was required. If it really was, why didn't he remove his name from the Florida ballot also?
- flintmecha, on 04/25/2008, -1/+1The rule was states could not hold their primaries before a certain date. When Michigan and Florida announced they would schedule their primaries early anyway, the party followed through by declaring the votes in those states would not count. It was an agreement amongst the candidates and the party leaders to not campaign in those states and not be on the ballot in those states.
Hillary Clinton did not care about the fact that those states were breaking the rules and attempted to take advantage of the situation instead of following the established agreement set by her OWN PARTY. You don't need to be an Obama supporter, or even a Democrat to see it for what it is. It's not simple "pro-Obama groupthink" to say that Clinton is underhanded and disrespectable.

- dh122, on 04/26/2008, -1/+1Hmm... so you according to your profile, you dropped your support for Obama because of "pro-Obama" groupthink? Methinks you should look at real issues before making such a stupid decision. Such as Clinton's continual deceptions and lies to the American people.
- Smiths, on 04/25/2008, -2/+13That's some A+ trolling there...
- Jared85, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1i would love to see that timeline he talked about at the end of Voters over time
- GhostyBoy, on 04/25/2008, -0/+25All the media who cover this election are seeing ratings they haven't seen in a while.
The truth is that Obama has pretty much sealed the deal, and that he will destroy the general. McCain has almost no chance after the damage that Bush has done to the Republican party.
But the media is trying to stretch it out for those ratings, and then they will try to say that the dem primary war "damaged" the party and now the general is really tight so they can exploit those ratings for a while. This whole thing is ridiculous.
If all the talking heads would shut the ***** up Obama would glide effortlessly to the White House. I'm not even a fan, I liked Kuccinich a lot better, but it's time to just tell it like it is.- crombenevolant, on 04/25/2008, -0/+8Two months ago I would have agreed with you. Today, though, is a much different story.
The sad and awful truth is that McCain could very well win the general at this point. The animosity between Clinton and Obama (and likewise between their supporters) has gotten so bad that I know a lot of people who would either vote Republican than for the other (or not vote at all) if their candidate does not get the nomination. While I doubt that they would actually vote Republican, it is pretty realistic that they would abstain.
Bottom line is that through infighting, Clinton/Obama have turned an election that was pretty much a lock into a real contest. And that could swing into a lock for McCain if something hinky happens at the convention and primary voters feel disenfranchised......- serif69, on 04/25/2008, -0/+1November is going to feel a lot like 2004, when everyone was already disenfranchised with Bush and the damage was done to the Republican party. Everyone was sure the Democrats had a lock. They managed to make it not just a close race, but to lose that close race. I wouldn't count my chickens in this one either.

- wejmahtin, on 04/25/2008, -0/+3Don't be fooled. The shadowy puppetmasters are going to slip McCain into the office like they did Bush. Clinton is just making it easier for them by destroying either of our democratic candidates chances of getting into office.

Howard Dean has done a miserable job of managing this thing, assuming you can call sitting on his hands as management. We need a leader to step in and make the rules very clear or else this is just going to drag on. If Clinton won 20% in PA we would be saying she has a fair chance; if PA split 50/50 everyone would tell her to get out; it's no surprise PA came out 10% for Clinton, and if he keeps looking for a decisive moment in the future that will save him from having to make the hard decisions that political leadership calls for then he is quite simply not doing his job.
- MaximusD, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2I wish he said more about the metric for caucus votes, since the number of representatives is different from the number of people who casted ballots. But definitely the best debunking on MSM I've seen so far.
- Jaguwar, on 04/25/2008, -10/+0The idea is to DIGG something because you think others might find it interesting or informative.
Using it to promote a political candidate(no matter how worthy) or hatred for another candidate or political figure(i.e President Bush) is abusing DIGG.
People who support your candidate or are already Bush haters already have read the story people who are not interested in your political preferences or ideological biases.
SO STOP DIGGING AND PROMOTING STORIES FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES- PhoenixAvatar2, on 04/25/2008, -0/+7Don't like political stories then disable the political category in your profile.

- philwalsh, on 04/25/2008, -0/+6all this (that both olberman and jon stewart bring up) is so extremely in-your-face obvious yet it mostly goes unreported.
why is this? i really can't my head around how there are many things are just ignored by the mms.- Aadain, on 04/25/2008, -0/+2It's all about money (like most everything in the US). While the general populous views the primary as a close race that could go either way (it can't), they stay tuned to the news channels looking for results/information. This drives up ratings, leading to more money to the companies that own the MSM. Anything that shatters this perception of a close race would lead to a drop in ratings, and a loss of money. I wouldn't be surprised at all if all the news directors at all the MSM outlets have been told in no uncertain terms by their corporate offices to not run any story that proves Clinton can't win the election at this point.
- JointVenture, on 04/25/2008, -8/+1I think its funny that the Obama fans were crying about George being in the tank for Hillary but they have no problem with Olberman running a debate.

- oeidesign, on 04/25/2008, -0/+5Olbermann makes an excellent point at the end of that video. As time goes on (and more people are informed about the candidates), Obama's numbers go up while Hillary's go down. With the exception of NH, I think it is a true and very telling statement.

- drgooch, on 04/25/2008, -3/+1keith is a dunce. plain and simple. much like you.
- fani, on 04/25/2008, -1/+5All this is fine, but ultimately pointless. The ignorant mass of fools in PA and elsewhere aren't reading Digg or watching Presidential debates, CNN. All they watch is American Idol and other *****.
And they vote for her because she's white and women vote for her because she's a woman. They pick up little things and base an entire vote on that - eg. Obama's bitter comment.
KO, Tim Russert, whoever can yell all they want. Not many are listening. We're all listening on digg, but many here can't vote, many are internationals, many already finished voting. Its like creating a ruckus in a small park, where no one else goes, so there's no impact outside the park.- felixleighton, on 04/26/2008, -3/+0ROFL. Like reading Digg would make someone educated.
If you want news, go read the Drudge Report. Folks here are called diggtards for a reason. - purewwfrage, on 04/26/2008, -0/+2***** that guy above me. fani, brilliant observation.
- runninbroke, on 04/26/2008, -3/+0Hey DIGGTARDS, what about RON PAUL??????????????????? Where is the support???? LOL LOL LOL!!
I hate Olbermann!!

- drgooch, on 04/25/2008, -8/+1olbermann's a dunce... and you obama d0rks LOVE him for it.
- GoingPostal, on 04/25/2008, -1/+1Olberman is a dunce? Spoken like a right wing troll. Go back to listening to Rush. You probably voted for Bush twice.
- drgooch, on 05/04/2008, -1/+1Why am I a troll? Yeah, I did. Better than Gore. Who invented the Internet. And better than Kerry... bbboooorrrrrriiinnnnggg... snooozzzzeee
- runCMD, on 04/25/2008, -1/+1Olberman is a comedian. Funny guy. Only taken seriously by Diggers loyal to the leader - whoever that is at the moment. : ).

- TheUserFactor, on 04/25/2008, -0/+6Hillary Clinton's remarks like "I am proud that I have received more votes..." are as despicably false and misleading as any in political campaign history. She's completely full of *****. Hillary Clinton supporters are this year's Dean voters: totally and completely out of touch with the mainstream and the big picture.
- runCMD, on 04/25/2008, -3/+1LOL TheUserFactory - even when the quote is true you can't stand it. Your testimony diminished, exposed for the weiner you are, you turn and walk away in disgust that everyone doesn't think the way you do.
- TheUserFactor, on 04/26/2008, -0/+2Aw, look at you, trying to polish a sentence up special just for me (and failing). Strike a nerve, did I? Answer me this, genius: how do you proudly tout vote totals cast in a state whose results you've explicitly said yourself "don't count", as Hillary has done? If I didn't know better I'd think she were joking.
- MildApplause, on 04/25/2008, -0/+0Between McCain, Obama, and Billary, Billary is the most conservative candidate.

- pentakle, on 04/26/2008, -5/+1oberman obamaspam - BURIED!!!!
- runninbroke, on 04/26/2008, -4/+0Olbermann gives me gas!! Being a moderate Democrat, I will never vote for anyone Olbermann supports because if he supports them, then they must be idiotic (i.e Obama).
Olbermann has never kept a job this long. Usually he runs his mouth and gets fired. MSNBC Must love being last in ratings!! I dont even think Olbermann can beat C-Span- Drewboy64, on 04/26/2008, -0/+1That's the biggest fairy tail I've ever heard.

- Chip53, on 04/26/2008, -1/+2Olbermann... the biggest pimple on the ass of journalism today.
- bbr4nd0n, on 04/29/2008, -0/+0i've already got a new case of clinton fatigue. if hillary wanted FL and MI votes to count, she should have been a leader and tried to resolve this obvious wrinkle in what should be a dream election for the democrats. instead she only developed an opinion when obama pulled ahead.
