- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -5/+208Spoiler Alert: Obama wins NC, but loses Indiana. Hillary spins this as a mandate to move on, and the race continues.
Can I be a pundit now? - twtmc, on 05/06/2008, -12/+160Clinton better not ***** win. We have had enough of the Bushes and the Clintons. One member of each family has been either President or Vice President since 1981. It's time for a change.
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -1/+70Something tells me that Obama could win both, and Hillary would still spin this as a mandate to move on.
- aussiejan, on 05/06/2008, -5/+66Good point. I think many people forget that George H. W. Bush was vice-president under Reagan. If Clinton should win the presidency that would be 3 decades of the same two families in the White House. That's not a democracy, that's just two families sharing a dynasty.
- AshamedAmerican, on 05/06/2008, -8/+58Does it really matter? Barack could win both North Carolina and Indiana and the bitch would still keep going.
It should be pretty clear by now that she's going to lie, cheat, steal, spin, and lie some more all the way to the ***** convention. - tzisc, on 05/06/2008, -2/+47Stating the obvious? Check
General sense of disdain for target audience? Check
Despicable, immoral, mind-numbing idiocy?
hm, still a little short - mobislink, on 05/06/2008, -3/+44Finish Her..
- alk509, on 05/06/2008, -1/+38Well, in reality, Clinton already lost. If she somehow gets the nomination, it will be through a reversal of the popular will by the superdelegates, which would represent a much, much bigger threat to America, our values and our democracy, than just the fact that all our leaders are related.
- exronin, on 05/06/2008, -0/+29I voted so hard i tore through the ballot.
- flossdaily, on 05/06/2008, -5/+31You already are, grasshopper. You already are.
- JlmAWP, on 05/06/2008, -3/+29Depends. Do you have any other qualifications? The less the better.
- Digger1218, on 05/06/2008, -1/+21Translation: I'm gonna bitch on the internet.
- Hypersapien, on 05/06/2008, -1/+20This will be over when the media invites Obama and McCain to a debate, but not Clinton.
- Bigzz, on 05/06/2008, -6/+24Yes thats great. BUT, it still means:
1) He has to win North Carolina by more than the polls are showing
2) He has to keep Indiana closer than the polls are showing
If this is what you want you better get on the phones tomorrow and make some calls. - inactive, on 05/06/2008, -0/+18In order to do what? Is he somehow losing in electoral votes? I'm not in the US, so a lot of this isn't making any sense to me. He is in the lead and most people think there is no way mathmatically possible for Hillary to beat him. What ever way you run it, he wins.
- Strokemouth, on 05/06/2008, -12/+29Was I the only one that thought a "North Carolina Surprise" was going to be something along the lines of a "Dirty Sanchez" or something like that?
- KSUdesigner, on 05/06/2008, -0/+15Don't worry, a lot of it isn't making much sense to those of us who actually live in the US either.
- purag66, on 05/13/2009, -0/+14You and I share 99.6% of the same genetic code as chimps. I'm ashamed.
- bicyclethief, on 05/06/2008, -6/+20I don't care about the family dynasties. That's really a superficial reason not to vote for them. Meanwhile there are plenty of valid and good reasons not to vote for Clinton.
- smacksaw, on 05/06/2008, -2/+15I agree about the whole "Obama can't close the deal" thing. That logic is stupid. When you're winning by ANY margin or mathematical advantage, that's closing the deal. If someone rewrites the rules to steal your support, that's not a failure to close the deal any more than locking your car and setting the alarm is a failure to prevent it from being stolen. This is painfully stupid. I mean, by this logic we should have not had Bush or Gore in 2000 since their wins were even narrower and they couldn't close the deal. Actually, I think I'm undoing my argument here.
- whereiseljefe, on 05/06/2008, -0/+13Agreed. Why a party who was given a golden boy almost guaranteed the general election would instead prefer to shoot itself in the foot is beyond me.
- rancemo, on 05/06/2008, -14/+27I'm in Indiana. The buzz has been all about Obama for the last couple weeks. You don't hear anyone supporting Clinton outside of her organized events and advertisements.
I went to vote about an hour ago. There were 4 or five Obama supporter waving signs, but not one hillary supporter.
Thankfully, nobody forced me to vote for either of them and I was able to kick a "wasted" vote in Ron Paul's direction. - WasabiBomb, on 05/06/2008, -0/+12Technically, it's a democratic republic.
- CrudE, on 05/06/2008, -1/+13I'm taking bong rips now, then going to the fire station to vote! Go Obama!
- Brian47126, on 05/06/2008, -1/+12well, thats nice... thank you for voting for Obama, and I don't believe you... This is some made-up BS from a Rightwing nutball... NO thinking dem would lump him with those people....
- NCSUspoon, on 05/06/2008, -2/+12Clinton isn't even really campaigning in NC. I live in Raleigh, NC and everything is Obama plastered. Even the signs that say Vote have Obama's face on them; and they don't even say vote for Obama. Maybe Clinton is campaigning more in Charlotte or something, but it's not as much in Raleigh.
- DreKor, on 05/06/2008, -2/+12If Obama was being a whiny bitch, I'd call him on it too.
- JlmAWP, on 05/06/2008, -3/+13Obama will more-than-likely have a 150 delegate lead with about 200 to go after today. It's over.
- Nougat, on 05/06/2008, -0/+10I'm ashamed for the chimps.
- whereiseljefe, on 05/06/2008, -1/+11I'm sorry sir, but you are overqualified for this job. We have already offered it to a mold colony growing in our basement.
- gwellington, on 05/06/2008, -1/+10Wait, what did I miss? I thought Obama was a mathematical certainty to win this.
- DephexTwin, on 05/06/2008, -0/+9It's a HELL of a coincidence that George Bush's son, of all the people in the USA, and now Clinton's wife, out of all the politicians and private citizens in our country, just happen to be *the* best people for the job of president. Particularly when the current presidential offspring is enjoying one of the absolute lowest approval rates in the history of the country, and has put us into a war that (finally) basically everyone agrees was a bad idea.
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -0/+8Except that Obama need only maintain the status quo and come out the ultimate victor. It isn't his team that keeps moving the goalposts.
- sircomix, on 05/06/2008, -8/+16Yeah, it certainly is true that Ron Paul votes are about as useful as a vote in the trash can. Well done.
- Matteos, on 05/06/2008, -0/+8It's A Trap!
- DephexTwin, on 05/06/2008, -0/+8I think it might have been on the Daily Show that I heard, "The Democrats never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity."
- tehsuck1, on 05/06/2008, -0/+8He wins the Democratic party nomination. Whoever wins has to go up against John McCain (the Republican Party nominee) in the proper election in November. The longer the battle between Hillary and Obama drags on, the more damage they do to each other and divert each other's attention away from the real election, helping John McCain.
- Idiggapony, on 05/06/2008, -2/+9Friends, the Obamaspam is obnoxious to those of us who aren't interested. Please continue to digg it to your heart's content, but please put it in the "2008 U.S. Elections category." That way, those of us who want to read today's reasons for why Obama is wonderful can find them easily. And those of us who don't can filter it off our our front page. That way, everyone will be happy.
- whereiseljefe, on 05/06/2008, -0/+7Oh wow, 8 generations back, that's like, so related!
- Taciturn, on 05/06/2008, -0/+7Erm... Obama's ahead by every measure except "votes where he wasn't on the ballot."
- DephexTwin, on 05/06/2008, -0/+7Actually, I would argue that in the world of politics, symbolism and precedent mean a whole lot. The reason not to continue the Bush/Clinton line is kind of the same reason that we set up term limits. Why have term limits? If the people want to elect the president for longer than two terms, why stop them? It is to prevent "presidents for life", because they run the risk of evolving into dictatorships.
Familial dynasties are the next best thing to getting around term limits, and even though there are two opposing families, it is still a sort of two-family oligarchy, swapping power back and forth to keep up the facade of democracy. It's a bad thing, and simply saying "it's time for someone totally new" is important, just like saying "two terms is enough and it doesn't matter if you think you could do a lot with four more years." - inactive, on 05/06/2008, -0/+6yah, to hell with them for trying to improve the government of the country they love. Its much better to just bitch about it and complain about people who have initiative. screw them.
- LloydBentsen, on 05/06/2008, -2/+8My point was not to question whether the term, "bitch", was applicable. There can be no arguing that, for it is a matter opinion. However, my point was that the word is a derogatory term against a gender, females. Obama is a black man. There are a few equally derogatory terms that Obama could be called, but most choose not to because they genuinely do not feel compelled to do so, or at the very least, have the decency not to say it at all. I was trying to convey an idea that perhaps you Obama backers should attempt at least that level of decency.
Oh, thanks for the definition. - irni, on 05/06/2008, -0/+6Unfortunately I don't see what you're seeing. I am in Indianapolis and I keep running into Clinton supporters. I ask them why they support her and most of them say "Experience" which just drives me nuts. I give up on people being sane. I voted for Obama so I guess we'll just see what happens tonight.
- Hesei, on 05/06/2008, -2/+8Well, I did my part today. C'mon Carolinians, vote Obama!
- johnpaul191, on 05/06/2008, -0/+6as opposed to the weathermen that Bill Clinton pardoned? What about the south american freedom fighting bomb makers he pardoned (from murder convictions), and then were caught making bombs again less than a year later? If she is going to take his 8 years of the presidency as experience, she should be held accountable for it too. She supported those pardons at the time, it's on record.
- exronin, on 05/06/2008, -0/+6Where are the shiny graphics that you spend 4 hours with when you could use one simple line statement to sum it all up?
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -0/+6I get the feeling that if she looses the nomination she'll run as an independent.
- inactive, on 05/06/2008, -1/+7I understand your confusion. In the US Democratic Primary, it doesn't matter who gets the most votes. The process is designed to give the illusion that the democrats are actually voting for their candidate. But that doesn't reflect reality. The reality for this election is that the Democratic party bosses (Super-delegates) will be deciding who the Democratic candidate is. The "reasoning" for this is complicated but basically the Democratic party decided that they couldn't trust the people to pick their candidate so they implemented the "Super-Delegate" system as a way to maintain control over their constituents and remove the responsibility and trust normally given to voters.
- elhaf, on 05/06/2008, -1/+7Isn't it more that Hillary "must win" Indiana? How does the front runner have to win anything? He just has to hold his own at this point.
