Running Primaries Thread

Huck's got no more than two months in him. He'll either be out via math or money.

 

It's now a statistical tie in Louisiana with 96% in.

 

OK, just for fun, suppose Romney throws in with the Huck.
And he really doesn't need a lot of money, with every preacher in political Christendom doing free ad time forhim.

 

Huck's toast. T-O-A-S-T.

McCain only needs something in the neighborhood of 400 delegates. Even if the Mitt throws in with the Huck, Gov. Jesus will still be pretty far off the pace. Huckabee's going to run out of Southern states pretty soon.

 

Huck can go forever. He's already out there carrying his own bags, flying coach and living off the land.

He doesn't need any money to travel and speak to Baptist churches.

 

CNN's projecting Lousiana to Huckabee.

 

Damn superdelagates.
After tonight's sweep, Obama leads in pledged delegates 908-877... but the superdelegates give Hillary a lead of 1100-1039. If he could swing 14% (or just 31 of her 223 superdelegates) he would be in the lead.

 

There are a ton of undeclared superdelegates out there. All he needs to do is win those over.

I've not seen Washington called yet. That's the only thing holding John McSame back from a heaping helping of fail.

Third time, now.

Is anyone still falling for this?

 

I don't think so.

Once again, now watching Hillary's speech rerun on CNN . . . .she makes speeches that lay out policy ideas and might make you nod in agreement, thinking "that makes some sense." Obama makes speeches that make people say "Oh, hell YES!!!"

He promises a virtual utopia in which schools will improve, health care will improve, the system will change and politics will be a friendlier game, dogs and cats living together, etc.

I think it's over. He has all the momentum, his message - optimistic and possibly naive though I believe it may be as it pertains to the political game and divide - clearly resonates with people, and excites them. Meanwhile, Hillary has had trouble sticking with a message and the GOP is in total disarray. Scandals cannot stick to Obama, and all his campaign has done is gain steam.

Obama will ride this wave all the way to the White House. Then he may find out that when many individual Congressional egos enter the picture, his view of change will need to be compromised. But he will be president.

In my opinion, of course.

 

I don't think it's a virtual utopia, by any means. He's talked about how there's no false hope so long as there's work to achieve those goals, and that includes reaching across the aisle. It's not like he's saying that world would happen simply by putting him in office, there's work to be done if and when he gets there.

 

Yes, maybe, but he's still going to highlight "Base Hates McCain" every Tuesday for at least another month.
And Washington state's GOP can bite me. Everybody went home? What is that?
