Running Primaries Thread

Doubt he'll lose Michigan. Look back on how Jesse did there, and BO is an unimaginably-stronger candidate than Jesse could ever dream of being.

 

Watch it on comparing Jesse and BO. That got Bill in trouble.

But I disagree based on Michigan's demographics ... full of working-class Democrats who are right in Hillary's wheelhouse.

"Dumb and Dumber"

Fredo: So John, how was your trip to Aspen?

McCain: Mmmm, California was beautiful.

 

With Edwards out, Obama wins Michigan handily.

Obama did very well with working-class white voters in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois.

Doubt he could carry Florida in a revote, but he'd certainly do better than the first time around. His numbers have only gone up everywhere he has a change to campaign.

All told, revotes aren't going to help HRC cut Obama's delegate margin much, if at all.

 

Florida, she'll win.

 

I find it hard to believe anyone would think Michigan would be a shoe in for her considering she only managed to get 50 percent of the vote the first time around when she was on the ballot and Obama wasn't.

 

And he stumbled, badly, with them in Ohio, and the voters in question there have far more in common with the voters in Michigan than they do with those same voters in Minnesota or Wisconsin or Iowa.
Good for Dean for holding the line at "rules are rules," and fuckabuncha Iowa and NH for making this stupidity necessary at all.

 

You can't blame Iowa and New Hampshire. You can blame the DNC or you can blame the state Dems in Florida or Michigan.

An Michigan is a lot more like the states I listed than it's like southern Ohio.

 

Won't having it in the summer hurt Hillary? After all, the older snowbirds will be back up north then.

 

If the DNC hadn't decided to enact the Iowa-New Hampshire Protection Acts of 2008, we wouldn't be in this mess. Why the parties get led around by the nose this way by two marginal states remains beyond me.

 

In other news, the Obama camp releases its Feb. fundraising numbers.

55 million.
