Running Primaries Thread

75% of Va. reporting. McCain leads Huckabee 167,108 to 147, 069. I hope to Jeebus that Lynchburg hasn't reported yet. Don't die, Huckmentum!

EDIT: Shit, just checked and many of the unreported precincts are in Fairfax...McCain country. Poor Huckmentum. :'(

 

That was fast.... polls in Maryland closed less than a minute and we have this..

BREAKING NEWS: CNN projects that Barack Obama will win the Maryland Democratic primary; John McCain the GOP winner

 

That didn't take long, did it?

 

And MSNBC is saying it will be a substantial margin of victory. Some are saying the only way Hillary can win now is by attacking Obama.

 

From a story linked on Drudge ...

*In Virginia Exits, Obama wins Latino Vote by Double Digits -- 55-45.

That can't be good news for HRC at all.

 

No. The panel on MSNBC is still arguing on how she has to do it.

If it's a personality fight, he wins. If it's a policy fight, he COULD win. He might not, but he could. The only way she can win is by going negative and we've seen how well that worked for her before.

One person is saying she can win by more effectively attacking McCain.

 

God forbid she runs on her merits...oh, wait, like she has any.

 

YeSSSsssssssssss...the Huckmentum is dead! We hatesss the Huckabeessss, precious! Haatessss it!

 

What's wrong (if anything) with this picture from the CNN website?
0% precincts reporting
Clinton 104 votes 50%
Obama 69 votes 33%
Uncommitted 11 votes 5%

But Obama is the projected winner

 

The problem with attacking Obama at this stage is Democrats aren't going to want to see their probable nominee torn down by a fellow Democrat. The only way Clinton can win is to turn this into a long, miserable fight and the party doesn't want that to happen. She's in a tough spot.

 

Some things, I guess you just know.

Watch this fall in the general election, Joe. The polls in Indiana will close at 6 p.m. CST. By 6:01 p.m., they'll call Indiana for the Republican candidate.

It's just how we roll.

 

Obamican. I love it! I loved his description of it, too. 'Obama, I'm a republican but I support you." Whispering back: "Thank you."
