- Revovisionary, on 05/07/2008, -0/+119Until Hillary bursts out of Obama's chest to steal the nomination
- jkbowman, on 05/07/2008, -13/+107Best of all, he won it clean and on actual issues. Let the Republicans, the creationists, the flag pin types, and the propagandists for big oil continue to focus on crappy little issues that don't matter to anyone. This is the day that America refused to die.
- Deodrus, on 05/07/2008, -7/+95I just did my math on the Delegate Calculator on CNN.
http://fapomatic.com/show.php?loc=0818&f=nc_result ...
What I found is that even if Clinton wins all the remaining contests by 60% to 40%, Barack Obama will almost touch 2025 delegates (the magic number), only being short of it by 2 delegates !!
Meaning if 2 supers endorse him from now on and she wins with 60% in every state... HE STILL WINS !!
I think it's time to give up for HRC.
Do the math yourself:

[I'm copy-pasting this comment because I can't be bothered to rethink new ways of saying it] - tcquad, on 05/07/2008, -8/+92Anyone who tells her she can win straight-up or is mathematically eliminated is lying to her. If she does continue, she must run a genial campaign where the discourse is positive and united against a common foe. Edwards did this in '04 (and, to a lesser extent, Huckabee while waiting for his "miracle"). The basic goal is to (a) be there if Obama screws up, (b) keep up the record Democratic turnout that's been seen and (c) establish Democratic bases and turn-out-the-vote mechanics that are needed in these last few states.
She can save face, save her career and maybe even save a future shot at the White House by ending the primary process by running an honest, non-confrontational and, most importantly, anti-McCain campaign through these last few states. - ADVIZR, on 05/07/2008, -4/+76Over? 2009:
Obama: "...do solemnly swear..."

Clinton: "I know the race is close, but with your help... hillaryclinton.com... blah blah..." - catachip, on 05/07/2008, -7/+71We have entered the general election.
Obama vs. McCain.
Let's get started... - cctoronto05, on 05/07/2008, -8/+70You could hear a hint of concession in her victory speech in Indiana tonight... plus, she's cancelled all of her morning appearances tomorrow, and there are rumours that the only financing her campaign will get after this pair of primaries, is the financing the Clintons personally put into it. Even she is just beginning to read the writing on the wall: it *is* over...
- inactive, on 05/07/2008, -13/+73As a member of the U.S Air Force I cannot speak for anybody but myself, and have no official stance as a member. But, as an American, I would like to say that Barack Obama is MY choice for commander and chief. I would follow you to the gates of hell sir.
- poopdigger, on 05/07/2008, -5/+62She will take a losing campaign to convention no matter what people say, because that's the way she is. But if the rest of the mainstream media can follow MSNBC's lead and make it clear to the public that the race is statistically over, it would put an end to any kind of fighting chance she has left.
- wolfmotherlorsa, on 05/07/2008, -8/+60thank the FSM, its finally over!
- bcclist, on 06/11/2008, -14/+64We've known since the middle/end of February.
- feanix, on 05/07/2008, -1/+45Is there a reason why you chose to host that image on ... fapomatic? With the porn!? Prehaps imageshack may have been a better choice? Sheeesh!
- Kronos6948, on 05/07/2008, -3/+46Does she still have the Snuke in her Snizz?
- Vodd9, on 05/07/2008, -3/+40Digg is not habbo hotel.
- ConAmoreEFuoco, on 05/07/2008, -2/+38Hillary: I can't hear you, lalalalalalalala!
- cr4ft, on 05/07/2008, -0/+36hahahha omg you're like a comedian only the opposite!
- thestaton, on 05/07/2008, -5/+41Barack the VOTE! What a beautiful day it's going to be when we see McCain try and debate Obama.
- cr4ft, on 05/07/2008, -5/+37Na na na na, Na na na na....hey hey hey....goodbye!
- bethehammer, on 05/07/2008, -6/+38Finally we can have some non-election news like Nicole Richie's baby or Nicole Kidman's baby or some other celebrity we worship whose name I can't spell
- catachip, on 05/07/2008, -6/+37Nearly one third of the democratic party in the United States is black.
What's your point? Oh yeah, you're a ***** racist. Go sit in the corner with Bill, you need a time out. - karenw, on 05/07/2008, -2/+31Man, what a night. Despite her smears and the traveling Clinton roadshow, she only won by 2% here. Remember, this is a state that was instrumental in growing the KKK, and still has a strong Klan presence.
- futureb, on 05/07/2008, -3/+32if you think the clintons care about working class people then you're pathetically naive.
- dn11, on 05/07/2008, -1/+29She needs to raise more money to pay off her debts first. But the superdelegates will not be siding with her from here on out. Even if Michigan and Florida are counted exactly as they are, with their skewed results, it won't be enough. It is truly over, the only question is when will she officially bow out.
- sovietninja, on 05/07/2008, -1/+29This is exactly the situation Californians have feared would one day come, and the reason why we elected Schwarzenegger.
- Revovisionary, on 05/07/2008, -3/+31rAMEN
- MidgardMurda, on 05/07/2008, -3/+31We knew how many months ago?
- Stevo23, on 05/07/2008, -1/+27The mainstream media: belatedly awakening to the blindingly obvious.
- uselessexpert, on 05/07/2008, -1/+27Tim Russert could not have been more eloquent and clear... What is the answer for Hillary to stay in the race?
She has no answer. The numbers prove it. Math doesn't lie. Only the Clinton campaign does.
So with that said, c'est la vie Hillary and Bill..... C'est la vie! - jmaxwell, on 05/07/2008, -0/+26polls closed
- ADVIZR, on 05/07/2008, -0/+25Obama also has overwhelming support among "whites" (and all colors) in certain demographics, like among more educated voters. Imagine that. More educated voters = more likely to vote for Obama.
Remember that "blacks" weren't at all flocking to Obama in the beginning. It happened due to a series of many, many events, such as the Clinton camp & Bill making purely racial comments of discounting Obama as a Jesse Jackson. The Clintons wanted polarization; they got it. And if they didn't want it, their statements display a lack in judgment and lack of respect. The Clintons care more about "winning" than serving others. I don't want people like that back in power.
Anyway, I do hate generalizations. But I find it rather humorous that some people (e.g. neocons and fanatic Clintonites) don't acknowledge the polarization that occurred. The history of this country is steeped in horrific injustice and racism, and the cultural ramifications of one group of people being made to feel like ***** for no other reason than their skin. Now there's one candidate who understands all walks of life, born of white & black. So, you can be sure "blacks" are proud of him. "Whites" are just as proud of him. And not because of skin, mind you... because of him. I don't care if he's green, purple, or orange.
I'm as white as they come. I even have a shaved head. Scary. Should I (or white military members for that matter) be treated like skinheads? Think. You're an idiot if you can't understand the history of the US and have compassion. This country needs to get past racism and unite. It's not racist for many blacks to now support him. It's based on both him as a person and self-interests; that's the very point of voting.
Anyway, Obama is not running on his race. Just remember that. He's running as his own person: a unique, caring, wise individual... a real leader that the US has lacked for decades.
Obama 2008 - Hangly, on 05/07/2008, -2/+27Braaaaaains, superdelegate braaaaaaains...
- bcclist, on 06/11/2008, -5/+29She drops May 21st after the May 20th Kentucky (win) and Oregon (loss) primary. But, she's going to be quiet until then because she knows it's over and is broke as a joke. She won't drop before May 20th because she doesn't want to risk Barack losing the awkwardly racist states of WV and KY to her when he's the presumptive nominee. Booorrrriiiinnnngggg.
- Redline500, on 05/07/2008, -0/+242009:
Obama: "I do solemnly swear..."
Clinton: (solemnly swears) - inactive, on 05/07/2008, -4/+27I didn't see it. Buried
- HeDiggMe, on 05/07/2008, -0/+22I didn't believe Limbaugh actually had that much influence (he claims 7%)...but Clinton won by like 28,000 votes. She owes him a beer or something.
- njbraun, on 05/07/2008, -6/+26I was just listening to Mark Penn, a chief campaign adviser for Clinton on NPR a couple of hours ago talk about how Clinton still has a chance..... a what!? The people have spoken, and now is not the time to divide the party anymore by coming up with lame reasons why Clinton can pull all the super delegates her way because of her recent advancements and blah blah blah, she's down by so many delegates, it doesn't matter!!!. I'm so eff'n relieved the margins were so pro Obama that we can end this. Obama'08!!
- rmany2k, on 05/07/2008, -0/+20On the contrary, it looks like a young Barack in EarthBound.
- danconia, on 05/07/2008, -8/+28But is it really statistically over? And *should* the media really take part in reporting as biased as trying to specifically influence a democratic race/process?
- catachip, on 05/07/2008, -3/+22No one is forcing anything. It's over for Hillary. Do you know how to add?
- KbuPlatinum, on 05/07/2008, -1/+20So then why didn't the 2 white people left all vote for Hilary?
- inactive, on 05/07/2008, -1/+19They've known (or should have known) who the nominee will be for some time. C'mon, Clinton would have had to have won 60%+ votes in the remaining primaries since before Pennsylvania. I'm glad to see the MSM finally admit it, but it's disingenuous to say that they know only now.
- Altotus, on 05/07/2008, -1/+18Would that be Condoleeza Rice, or a sack of rice? I think the latter would be more popular.
- 47f0, on 05/07/2008, -1/+17Thanks. That's one set of nightmares I didn't need to add to my stable. I'm not sure even Sigourney can take out a Queen Hillary in the middle of her nest.
- sindex, on 05/07/2008, -1/+17Oh no! The blacks are voting!? This is an outrage! They're barely Americans at all! Next thing you know we'll have women in the workplace, women drivers, black-owned businesses, and integrated schools. This must be stopped, and their votes must not count! Only white men in office! Only white men in office!
