- inactive, on 05/09/2008, -6/+60I think this would be the same in many states.
- ryan83189, on 05/09/2008, -7/+58Lets admit, California is not a key state in the election....
/Clintonism - wonderchemist, on 05/09/2008, -2/+37I'm pretty sure California is going to be a blue state, regardless of who the final nominee is.
- SheilaNoya, on 05/09/2008, -7/+39I know many people here in Los Angeles who started out as loyal Hillary supporters, but they now support Obama after watching Hillary lose all respect and credibility. Obama is better known now and people really like him and his policies, especially when you compare him to the nasty troll that Hillary has morphed into. Hillary has shown us that she won't bring us anything but the same old catfights and divisiveness that has been tearing this country apart.
We need a fresh face in the White House and a new mindset. Obama is right on target. - aussiejan, on 05/09/2008, -6/+35What's amusing about this is that Hillary has been saying for weeks that she should stay in the race because people were having buyer's remorse - about Obama!
- PabloMac, on 05/09/2008, -1/+23The entire country revolves around California.
- JosselynB, on 05/09/2008, -5/+26His numbers are now better in NJ too: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/05 ...
I have suspected for a long time that if we could re-vote Super Tuesday, Feb 9th again, Obama would have this sown up no problem. I wish they'd poll my state, NY. Really curious to see how her Democratic constituents are feeling about our Senator these days. - tcbishop12, on 05/09/2008, -6/+26That's important news for the large group of California uncommitted (or undeclared) superdelegates to consider.
If you haven't done so yet, please write a message to each of your state's superdelegates at http://www.lobbydelegates.com - Fordi, on 05/09/2008, -1/+19I'll explain this in simple terms:
Total:
.....Delegates: 3253
.....SDelegates: 795
.....Overall: 4048
Simple majority (sum of D and SD): 2025
Current standings:
.....Obama:
..........Delegates: 1590.5
..........SDelegates: 265
..........Overall: 1855.5
..........Needed: 169.5
.....Clinton:
..........Delegates: 1426.5
..........SDelegates: 269.5
..........Overall: 1696
..........Needed: 329
.....Remainder:
..........Delegates: 236
..........SDelegates: 260.5
..........Overall: 496.5
Projected Delegates (DCount * 236 / 3253):
.....Clinton: 103
.....Obama: 118
Needed superdelegates to win (Needed - PDelegates):
.....Clinton: 226 (86.75%)
.....Obama: 51.5 (19.77%)
Clinton needs to pull 86.75% of the remaining superdelegates to have a shot at a simple majority. There is no chance of this happening. None. There's just not enough capital left in the race. Just go home. - JohnnyRad, on 05/09/2008, -3/+19totally. totally.
I am in Beverly Hills and my fluffer AND gimp are BOTH Obama supporters! - kertong, on 05/09/2008, -1/+17Especially if you "count as I count"!
- DroidBlender, on 09/18/2008, -1/+16California is going to be a blue state, doesn't really matter what people voted for here. I don't think there is strong loyalty to either Barack or Hillary, and Californians chose based on what was familiar. If Obama would have campaigned here for 2-3 weeks, the results would have been different. But I also understand that Cailfornia is a huge state, and it would take too much time and energy to get votes here, where he would have rather focused on smaller swing states that he was pretty confident to win.
I do wish we had more influence during the primaries though. - SanTe, on 05/09/2008, -2/+16...unless you ask a New Yorker.
- tcbishop12, on 05/09/2008, -6/+19I agree with Tara. My office is in Beverly Hills, and I live in West LA. It is Obama country, to be sure.
- mnemy, on 05/09/2008, -3/+15Yep. It's unfortunate that we voted so early. At the time I didn't care one way or another, but damned if I want to vote for that slimy bitch for president now. Doesn't really matter though, whoever is the Dem nominee is getting california's vote come election time. And luckily, it looks like hillary has dug herself an ever growing hole
- DroidBlender, on 09/18/2008, -3/+15"my Latino house keeper told me that she has 35 registered voters in her imediate family and they ALL support Obama"
So much for the so called "Black-Latino Divide" that the media was clamoring about. It just shows you that nothing is as it appears, and you can't assume people think/vote the way the media says they do. - alittleroy101, on 05/09/2008, -1/+12That's a big family.
- faceless323, on 05/09/2008, -0/+11your mouth is full of my nutjob....
- gsadamb, on 05/09/2008, -2/+12In San Francisco here, and there's a huge pro-Obama sentiment as far as I can tell. I'm pretty sure it was a big Obama area even in the Feb. primary.
- biotch, on 05/09/2008, -0/+10yeah digg him down for demanding that people do research before they vote... he is exactly right. It wasnt too early to tell that Hillary was willing to tear this party apart by going negative for her own gain. People should of been able to discern what was happening.
- murraj2, on 05/09/2008, -1/+11Floridians would switch Bush vote for Gore
- winampman2, on 05/09/2008, -2/+11Yup, Feb 5 was too early... most figured she would be good enough for the job. 3 months later... we now know better.
- zepher5150, on 05/09/2008, -3/+12I live on the West Side in Los Angeles...I talk to alot of people about this election (becuase after last election results) I feel it's my moral responsiblity to talk to people about the issues in OUR country. Anyway, there are Hillary supporters...but I would say 3-1 people I talk to want Obama to win. California will defintily be a Blue state....regarless.
- rmxz, on 05/09/2008, -6/+15So annoying that these people don't do their research before they vote instead of after.
- EGOvoruhk, on 05/09/2008, -2/+11"BELIEVE ME, California is NOW Obama Country"
Why, just because the people you've seen support him? Not that I support Hillary, but you can't speak for everyone - dinot, on 05/09/2008, -3/+12Who cares about California? They're not white, hard working Americans!
... oh wait. they voted for Clinton? Nevermind. - ohthedaysofyore, on 05/09/2008, -2/+11I was so bummed when the majority of people here picked Clinton...
- inactive, on 05/09/2008, -3/+12San Francisco County did! woop woop! We're ahead of the curve.
- biotch, on 05/09/2008, -0/+8Actually it was the hippies in California that voted for Obama... Berkeley and SF voted for Obama. Whereas it was the more conservative districts that voted for Hillary such as orange county, San Diego, and Stanislaus county (shutter), contra costa (not terribly conservative but more than alameda and SF) etc...
http://maps.google.com/maps/mpl?moduleurl=http://w ... - skunks, on 05/09/2008, -1/+8This Californian got it right the first time.
- PabloMac, on 05/09/2008, -0/+7That's true. Many of them think there's a vast black hole in between, and the rest of us want to keep them thinking that.
- biotch, on 05/09/2008, -0/+7so early? It was blatantly obvious what was going on by the time we voted... next time get your head out of your ass before you vote... Im sorry to be rude but votes are a big deal. And the same goes for all you Bush voters who changed your minds. It does us no good to change your mind after you vote if you keep voting without first paying attention. Educate yourselves BEFORE you vote.
- kaelyiesta, on 05/09/2008, -4/+11Fickle uniformed voters realize they made a mistake in picking their candidate? Sounds familiar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Gallup_Poll-App ...
Perhaps it would help to do more than just listen to debates and the latest media driven 'scandal' before casting ones vote. Clintons political record already had enough divulged dirt to peg her as a terrible person well before the primaries. Whatever ones political preference, the least we can do is go beyond MSM drivel and actually research candidates that seem viable. - bobbarkerbilly, on 05/10/2008, -0/+7Roughly 1 in 8 of the people that live in this country do so in California.
- haydesigner, on 05/09/2008, -0/+7In the general election, it does not matter if you are registered as a Dem or Repub.
- joessandwich, on 05/09/2008, -2/+9I wouldn't change my vote.... but that's because I got it right in the first place and voted for Obama.
I was so disappointed in my state when it went for Hillary - thesandbender, on 05/09/2008, -3/+10This is what happens when you don't read and you take your political advice from public figures and MSM without thinking. Anyone who couldn't figure out that Hillary was a backstabbing power grubbing witch from day one is just foolish. Her first political act was to cook up an excuse to run for Senator in NY. She's from IL, she built her career in AR and she dumped both for the prestige of being "the Senator from NY". She did not grow up there, she did not go to school there, she didn't raise her family there. That, alone, tells you everything you need to know about her. She was going for the power base and could care less about any other facet of her life.
She and her husband are "scoundrels" in every sense of the word. - julianwan, on 05/09/2008, -0/+6Yeah, but NY only has NYC, we have Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, and more...
- Stevo23, on 05/09/2008, -0/+6Duh, you're in San Francisco. Latte-sipping, prius-driving, college-going-to liberals have been behind Obama since the start.
- alittleroy101, on 05/09/2008, -1/+7yes, the 'God bless us' mantra has really helped out this country. We're in fine shape, really! This country is already *****, thanks to your loser in the whitehouse.
- inactive, on 05/09/2008, -5/+11I missed the deadline to register and would've voted Obama here in CA too. Once it's officially Obama as the nominee I'm going to go register Democrat.
- inactive, on 05/09/2008, -5/+11I live in Hollywood. I think it's a shame that Californians did not choose Obama over Clinton when it was the time to do this. Now, who really cares?
- mlrigsby, on 05/09/2008, -1/+7Most Americans didn't vote for Bush in the first place.
- Michael9636, on 08/04/2008, -2/+7Not for the general election in November.
- Wynner3, on 05/09/2008, -0/+5If the California primaries were held later, not grouped with other states, Obama clearly would have won. They shouldn't have grouped the states together.
- SteveCUBE, on 05/10/2008, -0/+5 4rd. lol.
- junkwheel, on 05/09/2008, -1/+6What would have been a 100% fair race is if Hillary's second name was Smith.
As unknown as Barack was at the start. No previous president many liked to campaign almost as hard as she did. No military lobbyist money friends. No enormous political brand name, massively established with deep roots everywhere. No states which are yours by default, purely because of a previous president, even before campaigning starts.
Hillary Smith Vs Barack Obama.
Barack would have won all states 60% - 40% or better.
Run any state again which Obama didn't win and you know he would do even better second time around. In the space of a single campaign the Obama team created a political brand name stronger than the Clintons. What an achievement. It takes time to get that going from nothing which is why she took early, big states, easy. - theaceoffire, on 05/09/2008, -2/+7The lying, constantly, on video, for one thing.
- buba1243, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4Which is why I would like to see a simple test that a person has to take before being allowed to vote. Make people aware of who they are voting for and why. It would never work but imagine if it did.
