52% Clinton
48% Obama
North Carolina (57% reporting):
42% Clinton
56% Obama
Shortly after CBS News projected Clinton the winner in Indiana, Obama essentially conceded the state in his speech to his supporters in North Carolina. But he also jabbed Clinton for declaring last week that North Carolina would be a "game changer" in the race.
… In fact, the size of Obama’s win in North Carolina, and the shrinking margin for Clinton in Indiana, may well have shifted the underlying dynamic permanently toward Obama … Certainly, the delegate count is stacked heavily in his favor. And Clinton is going to have a tougher time convincing superdelegates now …
… Still, I think it’s likely that this will continue to play out awhile, and that Florida and Michigan are likely to determine the final outcome …
… One set of exit polls showed that race played a role (though I don’t think it tells us what role, and to what extent race simply coincided with voting patterns), but notes this:
Wright was a looming factor in the voting, with half in each state saying he was important in choosing a candidate. Of that group, seven in 10 in Indiana and six in 10 in North Carolina backed Clinton, including eight in 10 whites. Those discounting him as a factor heavily favored Obama.
… Meanwhile, Bob Fertik at Democrats.com points out that as divided as Democrats might be, things are even worse for Republicans:
But while the Corporate Media falsely divides Democrats, they are ignoring real divisions among Republicans, where roughly 1/4 are voting against their party’s nominee, John McCain.
… Obviously this is terrible news for McCain, who became the Republican nominee when Mitt Romney dropped out on February 7. McCain has had three months to unite Republicans behind him, but 1/4 of Republicans still don’t like him. And the loss of 1/4 of Republican votes in crucial states like Ohio and Texas could be fatal.
Meanwhile, I guess we can thank the Roberts Court for incidents like the one in Indiana where a 12 nuns were prevented from voting. Nice work preventing that wave of voter fraud, guys.

David!
Game changed?
Let the Opus Dei Court explain that one to the Vatican….
David!!!!!!
Punkinhaid sez Hillary’s Pennsylvania popular-vote dent may be gone after tonight.
Hi David, thanks for these rapid updates and threads.
Hi David. Which game? Not a sport I hope. Teddy is here.
And McSame still hasn’t cracked the 80% ceiling in either primary…
Less than 35,000 votes between Clinton and Obama according to Keith.
Hey David!
Right on time.
That is truly sad! If ya can’t trust nuns…!
Why don’t we stop fooling ourselves?
The game is over,
Over,
Over.
No good times, no bad times,
There’s no times at all,
Just The New York Times,
Sitting on the windowsill
Near the flowers.
We might as well be apart.
It hardly matters,
We sleep separately.
And drop a smile passing in the hall
But there’s no laughs left
‘Cause we laughed them all.
And we laughed them all
In a very short time.
Time
Is tapping on my forehead,
Hanging from my mirror,
Rattling the teacups,
And I wonder,
How long can I delay?
We’re just a habit
Like saccharin.
And I’m habitually feelin’ kinda blue.
But each time I try on
The thought of leaving you,
I stop…
I stop and think it ove
Of course, if Pat Buchanan had his way, they would have shot the nuns.
r
78% in 32k votes apart
ditto what teddy said
are we there yet?
707!
Almost 250k apart in NC
Not hearing that from TradMed tonight, though…. *g*
Who are these GOPs who go out and vote against their nominee? And what will they do in the fall? Weren’t THEY exit-polled for pete’s sake?
Gregory agrees with me that this was Obama’s acceptance speech….
They didn’t have state-issued voter IDs. One was near 90…
I always knew those geriatric nuns weren’t kept on a short enough leash!
HAH ! Scalia and Co. get excommunicated … wouldn’t that be a larf ?
Can’t show favoritism to Catholics. You would get McCain’s spiritual advisor all mad!
Does anyone out there have figures over all in terms of how many Republicans are bothering to go to the polls vs. Democrats. For a while there, even when there were multiple Goopers running, it just did not seem as if the Republicans could get people to show up.
I doubt we can peel those 20+ percent of disaffected Republicans away to vote for our side in November, but they may stay home. That works just as well for me.
As John Belushi might have said, one penguin looks much like another.
Actually the nuns were turned away by a nun from their own convent.
One nun was 98. Several had expired passports. None drive, so no licenses.
oh good grief!
Nun’s gone wild
The CNN numbers are here.
what kind of nunnery is this!?
Truly, sickening… I think they really could’ve accomodated ‘em… I hope the MSM will follow up and expose the workers whom turned them away… At least KO giving them WPITW honors…!
When asked for ID, did they say: “we have nun”
shamefull
Or they could vote Bob Barr in November.
I was eating lunch at Costco today and I overheard this older guy talking about the “black candidate” and how he could never vote for him and did you see that minister, etc. I wanted to say to him “go ahead and vote for McCain, so when he strips your medicare and SS and you are paying $8 a gallon for gas you’ll know who to blame.”
We have the same [expletive deleted] photo ID law here in Georgia. I make a point about bitching about it every time I vote, citing poll tax laws…
It was another nun from their convent who said she was very upset but the rules said that was what she had to do … I wouldn’t blame her.
CNN has is as too cloister call
Oh goddess Noron is cackling.
Oh, gawd! You’re channeling punaise… 707!
groan!
Up here in Canuckistan our junior Luntzified Reformatory gov’t (read neanderCon) has been trying to force Elections Canada to have Muslim women remove head scarves etc…..wonder what will happen with nuns?
.
The nun manning the table said that it had been explained to the other sisters they needed the proper ID. She said the convent will get them down to the proper place to get those for the general election.
LOL!
OK, C-Span then.
I won’t make it a habit.
NORON…oy
11PM for results of IN … wow … this is mighty close
GROAN!!!
!
Ya, but will you kick it?
The ‘habit’ I mean.
It’s time for Hilary to drop out. She’s done, put a fork in her. She’s a war-monger anyway.
Hillary Clinton. Oh damn, I can’t say that, Delbert is WAY cooler than Hilary will ever hope to be.
Hillary McCain.
There, that’s better.
What could possible be better ID than a United States passport, expired or not?
Yup, one more reason why Harpuh can’t get a foothold in Toronto … let’s hope we can turf him this fall …
is nader running too?
UNCLE!!! I give up!!!
How much more evidence do we need that the world has gone crazy. Can we tilt back a bit? I know the terrrrists did it all to us.
Well if MCCain’s spiritual advisor had his way none of the nuns in this country could vote.
thank you Marion – it’s the same trend – 3-4 times as many Democrats showing up to vote as compared to the Goopers. So, even though the field has narrowed, theoretically, with just McCain, it’s the same deal as it was at the start and the same sort of folks who do…not…like…him. I also read recently a figure something like 4.5 million new Democratic voters -if memory serves, this was brand spanking new voters..not independents or GOP’rs who had switched.
Russert is talking NASCAR metaphors to ’splain the race to us.

CNN results in Indiana as of 9 PM CT:
Mike Huckabee: 10%
Ron Paul: 8%
Mitt Romney: 5%
John McCain: 77%
CNN results in North Carolina as of 9PM:
Mike Huckabee: 12%
Ron Paul: 7%
No preference: 4%
John McCain: 74%
Inquiring minds want to know why McCain can’t seal the deal.
But I can hear the McCain spin already: he’s still a step ahead of John Ashcroft, who lost his Senate reelection bid to a dead man.
I believe their statute may call for a CURRENT photo ID, just like Georgia’s…
I agree, let’em get it out of their system…! ;-)
Well, of course they did. 9/11 changed EVERYTHING, remember?
41k with 81% in
nyuk nyuk nyuk
Yup
Those Republicans will buck up and vote for McStain. They’re just playing footsie cuz these primary votes do not count. All their radio heroes are telling them to vote McStain. Neil Boortz (anti-public schools) is reluctlantly recommending McCain. Rush, too.
Can’t use in AZ in our voter ID law…. I CAN use my power bill & water bill but NOT my passport…..
WOW, tweety thinks punkin head thinks it may be OVER!
The really interesting thing is that McSame is under 80%. Some Republicans are still terminally pissed, apparently.
lmao good one :)
Sure. But I’m an incrementalist. She was plainly worse a year ago.
But yeah…
nope Teddy … he was talking Indy racing – I guess inspired by Hillary’s visit to a racing garage today and use of racing motifs …
In Nascar racing (my obsession ) you never know til the last 1/10 second
So you know in open wheel?
wonder how much of the mccain vote will get nadered
Oh THAT makes sense!
Praise The Lord … the Zune is coming to Canada on June 13th … one more MP3 Player gathering dust
as we buy tons of iPods …
Russert is facing his own televised mortality. Endgame.
Cablenews better hope for some missing blondes, pronto.
Yes, including our very selves. I wonder what a sane leader would have done with the same tragedy?
My feed of MSNBC just got forked up…… gone all digital…..
Harold Ford again … blech
People whining about KO? He’s given her the sctooock!
See, I meant NASCAR polo, not NASCAR car racing.
Coastal elite, y’know. *g*
Crementals are good
were the nuns were part of HRC’s Hail Mary strategy?
Even KO is talking sports.
Siun speaks for me.
he is terrible at analysis
watch open wheel if necessary but … not the same as those good ole boys drafting at Talledega!
hahahahahahahaha
Ms Betsy, he was a sportscaster lonnnnggggg before he became a MSNBC host.
Hail Mary pass at the buzzer.
Yes, yes I know!
Ha, I’m an old school drag racer, the hell with that left turn nosie.
Who do you suspect the nuns voted for?
That’s good; part of the “older women” (of a certain age) from her core constituency.
After consulting with Hagee.
Harold Ford pushing the unity ticket.
It’s all they know, these bipartisanists.
Can I say Harold Ford is pimpin’ Hillary for veep?
Tweety is desperate for an Obama/Clinton ticket eh?
please no … the pundits would have a field day – every day – analyzing who was in charge etc … how did Bill and Barack get along … on and on …
Mrs Greenspan up from the Clinton funeral
Breaking: Chuck Todd commits Hara Kiri for being lumped with Harold Ford …
Well, here is what I think(not rocket science and I’m sure others have said the same things)…People who would vote for Mike Huckabee are looking for a true conservative/evangelical. he’s a minister and fits the bill. he’s also a born-again skinny guy. People would vote for Romney might vote for McCain – they are close enough at least in terms of flipflopping on positions like abortion. People who voted for Ron Paul won’t vote for anyone in November — some might go for Obama but they don’t see McCain as a viable alternative to Ron Paul..remember, a lot of people are supporting Paul because of his stand on the war in Iraq.
Hillary’s wheels came off tonight. She’s prone to keep on driving.
LOL
Hi, gang! My favorite group to watch election returns with.
Dayum – take 10 seconds to type a greeting and 7 new comments show up!
Has anyone heard from Lake County, IN? That’s Gary, and the NYT liveblog says nothing from there yet. Hmmm….Lake co. has a long history of, um, making sure needed votes are supplied….
Drag racing I get … would like to see in person sometime since I love the thunder and burning rubber …
but the turn left fits nicely with my politics, eh?
Same in Florida. I always make ‘em ask me for it.
There is no chance in hell that a strong left position will be on a national ticket. They always run to the non existent center.
Obama is right about one thing – we do need a change.. lots of them.
Andrea needs a sammicth
Why would he pick Hill if Edwards were available? But I heard some coverage that he is more interested in a Cabinet post. I doubt anyone knows what Edward would like or do.
You cannot believe how the fuelers suck the air out of your lungs. And the smell of nitro. . .
AZ voter ID law or known as Prop 200 or lets try and prevent those undocumented brown people from flooding over the border to vote in our elections according to JD Hayworth….
My AZ issued drivers license IF issued after October 1998 (who knows)- name & address MUST match what is on the registration rolls
OR
combination of these two BUT not two of the same….
mailing from the election board
utility bill with name & address on it…
Or tribal ID
BUT not my passport which gets reviewed by INS & the Feds before being issued…..
So if you are an elderly person without a divers license…. SOL
If all the utilities are in your deceased husbands name without any DL then SOL
Many native Americans do not have ID because of lack of birth certificates…
There was an article somewhere … don’t know where … that said Ron Paul might endorse Obama … not sure if that would be a good thing
He won’t pick either one of dem losers.
Edwards said he didn’t want VP.
I wish he would change his mind.
Ah–CNN commentator saying, “All the drama at this moment coming from Lake County.”
OMG, Lake won’t release any results till all the absentees are counted? Whoa, Nelly…we may be up late tonight, again!
Obama has won Watauga County, home of Appalachian State. That is all. A sports metaphor was even implied.
Someone said yesterday (sorry I can’t remember where I read it) that it’s not a done deal for McCain. That perhaps the party will put out someone else at the convention?
Is her face that dismal because of Botox or the thought of going home to Al Greenspan ?
On the food inflation front, I can now report that a large 3-topping pizza from Marcello’s in the Castro just went up from 18.20 to 20.37, which means that with a tip to the deliverer, it’s $22 instead of just a Jackson as previously. Which means they get tomorrow’s Muni fare from me too.
It’s a hundred and six miles to Chicago, they’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark, and they’re wearing sunglasses.
They’re on a mission from God.
better supinate, peace out ya’ll
I don’t think we can peel any of them off, but my hope is that they’ll decide to stay home in November.
Obama/Edwards? I can hear it now, from the likes of Tweety and Punkin-noggin:
“Effete, don’t fail me now”
TPM, I think, Siun.
Secretary of States offoice in Indiana says that Lake, Marion, And Monroe Counties all have yet to report their results…these are areas that Obama was expected to do very well. Also not reporting yet are Delaware, Tippecanoe Vandenburgh, and Vigo where there are large University populations. Bartholomew, which is where Columbus is not reported. Most of the rural counties are in and the huge population centers are still out?
Could be trouble for CBS calling it too soon!
One of the biggest changes necessary for the health of the Republic is for the courtesan class, punditocracy, village elders, whatever name you want to use for the corporate media, to fade away as quickly as possible. Laugh them all into irrelavancy.
bring on the popcorn
Who will take her keys?
I don’t think he would refuse it if asked … at least I hope not.
both,and cause her thong has been riding up all nite
I love the true laugh out loud. He is ghastly.
I think in November, just to yank a chain or two, I may start the party with my work photo ID…
Well, if anyone is looking for an explosion from McCain, this..would..be..it. For him to go through all of this and then get to the convention and The Powers That Be put up someone like…Jeb Bush?????? McCain’s head would explode.
Efdwards’ window of opportunity slid shut already.
In theory that may be true — for both parties. In practice, unless someone finds McCain in bed with the proverbial dead girl or live boy, he’s the nominee.
Not that Daddy Dobson, Rush Limbaugh, and others wouldn’t love to take a mulligan on their party’s chosen candidate . . .
G’nite Sir !
BRAVO!
Peterr, you’re gonna get Suzanne started quoting that whole movie now!
I think that if there are any that we will get, it will be the anti-war Paul-istas.
midnight eastern for Lake Co now … wow
I don’t think it would drive anyone from our side away, and it might peel off his folks… Could be a VERY good thing. Many military folks support him because of his stance on getting out of Iraq.
yah i think so too…i like Richardson,believe it or not
no ma’am, i’ve seen the light
38k with 84% counted
Obama will need a Southern White Male as VP going into the GE
Didn’t I hear MSNBC say that some polling sites in Indiana were ordered to stay open beyond normal closing time? May be a delayed count.
Oh noes! Howard Fineman has his ear to the ground, per Keith.
Does that endanger his toupe’s adherence?
That is the all time best. You win an award for clever.
:) :)
Both, probably.
I thought the Indiana law of politics was a dead woman or a live goat…
Where does the Clinton campaign go from here….. the wheels are off the bus…. it is running on fumes…. it is dented and smoking and not a gas station in sight because they were given a holiday
just the counting.
Richardson would help with the evasive Hispanic vote. Edwards might rekindle bad memories of the defeated Kerry. The Trial lawyer smears won’t help. Edwards woulda held up fine as the Presidential candidate, but he won’t help as an Obama VP.
choke on liquids
OK..who will it be? Webb?
Article in the Savannah Daily Disappointment today said we’re about to start paying more for pork and chicken. The fuel of the Southern summer…
and if she continues, will there be more debates? Please not.
now they all have ta pretend all along they understood that Obama was in the lead, etc … the pundits pivot so fast!
Those are quite rare in our party. Have you someone in mind?
Hopefully not Jay Rock
And you do this without spew alerts? You dangerous!!!
I hope it’s Edwards but I don’t know who Obama’s camp sees as the likely Veep nominee …
Hillary’s lead is now 43,000.
Please god, no.
Note to SNL…. When are you going to take on McBush on your show?
I hope not.
I don’t know where the CNN figures are coming from for Indiana but the Secretary of States Office shows some figures very favorable to Obama.
Indiana Secratary of State
Probelem is that the CNN numbers show more votes. But the ISofState shows it within 2% with Marion in but Monroe and Lake still to report. Almost all other counties in just a few small rural ones left.
It’s the Metro areas that are out!
Also Vigo and Vandenberg not in.
See…! Tex was right! 8-P
wtf is Fineman talking about? One-man revival meeting in Denver, will Bill Clinton center stage?
Like the nominee will stand for that, whoever it might be.
At some very primitive level it gets down to double digits vs single digits, and what I’m seeing now is Obama winning by double digits in NC, a state that is twice as large as Indiana, vs. Hillary winning by single digits in Indians. ‘Nuff said!!!
the shoe polish went to his brain…..
Formula One is king. I remember when Darlington was a dirt track.
How does Hill make any credible case at all for her electability if she’s gotta have Bill pull her out of the quicksand?
Not even in the running, TB…not even close.
Good one pun-wise — but hits one of my “What-liberal-media?” moments. How is it that the one candidate who grew up poor, on food stamps fer Chrs’ sake, married to the child of a factory worker, in contrast to all the other candidates (McCain, H Clinton) grew up middle-to-upper-middle class, comfortable at worst, gets stuck with the elitist label?
It’s infuriating.
Clintons is so yesstiddy
Yep.
pretty gross thought, eh?
Typically the media have folks stationed at the precincts themselves, and so can get the numbers there as they are reported to the SOS office. While the SOS is folding them into their tallies, the media outlets do the same with their tallies and get them on the air while the SOS is still putting things together.
LOL i’m sooo behind on these threads. good grief.
But I will say Indiana is turning out to be a nice surprise. It was so worth all the phone banking to Indiana
Yo Wigwam, who would you choose as Veep nominee?
I like Brian Schweitzer in the VP slot…. very progressive, has an infrastructure that will not destroy the state if he leaves…. tons of international experience….. lived in Saudi Arabia for 12 plus years…
Richardson did a lot of flubs that did not project well in his campaign…
And they’re still lending funds to her campaign….
so 20th century….
1,834 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…
Citizen Raven and the Firepup Freedom Fighters:
(Note: In this comment Barak Obama’s opponent in the primary will be referred to as “she who will be nameless” in order to avoid unseen editing)
Brother Raven, do ya remember our buddy Rahm Emmanuel’s ominous declaration that “The way the loser loses will determine whether the winner wins in November”? Well, it seems that she who will be nameless has one last chance ta show some class and grace in the eulogy at her own funeral…what do ya think, ken she summon the chops ta do the right thing by those hundreds of thousands of good Democrats who have followed her ta the edge of the cliff?
This is the last political opportunity God is givin’ the junior senator from New York, if she bows out gracfully and with some class she ken hold a constituency that ken influence policy in what may shape up ta be the most important eight years in American history. If not, the Obama bus will roll over her and leave what’s left on the road for Joe Li*uderman and Zell Miller ta take ta breakfast.
KEEP THE FAITH AND PASS THE AMUNITION, NOW WE GOT CLEAR TARGETS!!
Thank you.
Rachel! ;-)
Did you promise them some of the good stuff ? *g*
I’m (regrettably) off to bed. But, when the votes start pouring in at midnight (midnight???), I may return.
Good job, Wobbly.
very true on Richardson. He’s better suited to cabinet again.
Oh, Schweitzer! Excellent idea.
Rush’s big fan Brian Williams appears to have gotten an advance copy of Senator Clinton’s speech.
starting to have the eau de Lieberman for Lieberman….
THE DEAL IS CLOSED!
Keep digging!! Come on friends David is working hard for all of us!
i for one LOATHE Brian Williams…empty suit
last week I saw Contessa Brewer on MSNBC comment during a tape of Michelle Obama speaking about her background that “she has an attitude” … talk about racist gall …
sorry, that still bugs me
If I go to the kitchen to make the popcorn for all y’all, will be there 75 new posts when I come back?
((( CT )))
Would you want Bennett’s head to explode ?
I vacillate between Looseheadprop and Christy. Both, however, have expressed Sherman-like unwillingness to run, let alone serve.
Where is that remote with the mute button….. getting really hard to listen to HRC these days…. that pointing thingy buggs me…
Oh, we apparently missed the electrifying Evan Bayh’s introduction of Senator Clinton.
Yes. But we’d be grateful!
prolly… open a bag of prepopped kettle corn…its good for now
Contessa Brewer has the attitude…fills the place where there should be a brain.
Heh, my little ‘head’ would…! ;-)
you are not alone.
It is rather the stink of flop sweat…
I’d vote for either!
He’s a team player. He plays for the Corporations and the War Machine.
I think the MSN is done with HRC….. they are marginalizing her and her campaign….. hoho…
Christy in the Blair House with Peanut.
Keith….”what can she say”oh shut up Brian,
What? Just got back. Are the talking heads from competing stations giving each other time?
You playing Clue?
Reagan Democrats had better wake up Ronnie crushed the unions and Bill& HIll naftaized you shipped your jobs overseas and yet you cling to foolishness like Reverend Wright and appeals to your emotions wske up or this country will never recover.
Triple whammy in Indiana Rush-Wright-Bayh Limbaugh Clintonistas now thats what you want?
“Elite” and “attitude” is the new “uppity.” Dog whistle shit…
rim shot
The NBC people all talk about their conversations with one another.
It makes me understand more about Brian Williams’ characterization of Vinnie the blogger in his mom’s basement….
I promised not to go medieval on them *g*
Nah, I just talked to people about their concerns and O’s policy to address those concerns. I answered questions (some really strange) and overall just encouraged people to get out and vote no matter the dem *g*
Good stuff stays with the DFH crowd
Yep, but we want the popcorn anyway! YUM!!!
Monroe? That’s Bloomington! Home of IU, if you didn’t know. IN my time, IU was bigger than the town population, but don’t know if that’s still true…
That’s a county that should go for Obama, according to the conventional wisdom that high student pops go for him.
yep … I was stunned since it was so clear
yea
Obama’s VP? Doubt it will be Edwards. As much as I really like Edwards, he has lost the VP nomination to Cheney, the Dem nomination to Obama, and would have lost his second bid to the Senate in 2000, had he not resigned to run for VP.
The Obama campaign is too smart to choose Edwards. As much as I hate to say it because I really like his policies, he is a proven loser.
HEATHERS
Indeed. Code words.
Heh, heh. I made toast.
I got an attitude for ‘em…
i was more than happy to do it. If needed, I soldieron for West Virginia and Kentucky. (I might even call Christy *g*)
Hmmm, mmm, mmm! Did I mention that Lake County IN is not only a very politically sophisticated area, it is also a seat of corruption! If they’re holding votes, I can almost guarantee there is an underhanded reason for it!
Sorry, but that gave me a flashback to “Clue,” Mrs. Plum in the Conservatory with the pipe…
he should have endorsed Obama before Texas
popcorn’s here. http://chicagoist.com/attachme…..opcorn.jpg
Who is this woman on MSNBC right now? Brown/tan suit.
Kos calls for Clinton to stay in, so our presumptive nominee is not crushed next week in West Virginia and Kentucky. Then Oregon can put him over the top — presuming superdelegates line up — therefore, our nominee is chosen by real, actual voters.
Smart, that Kos, with the optics.
Hey David N, thanks for another great post at FDL.
I hope you know by now, if this escaped you before, the FDL commenters have a great sense of snark. It’s one of the things that makes this place so great.
And, yeah, you got every one into the groove on that one this eve (not diminish the other more serious parts of you post) by saying:
“Meanwhile, I guess we can thank the Roberts Court for incidents like the one in Indiana where a 12 nuns were prevented from voting. Nice work preventing that wave of voter fraud, guys.”
There is likely a cabinet position with his name on it.
Sam at Obama’s office just put up the video for anyone who would like it … again, I’ll post Sen Clinton’s if we get that as well.
Just updated the post with the full video:

Clinton about to speak before she knows the result in Indiana.. Interesting decision.
Where does Timmeh live that it is near midnight?
For any SNL writers who may be lurking . . .
I’d love to see a skit with The Chicago Superfans providing the primary results coverage in place of Timmeh, Chris Matthews, and Co. “Nice night for Obama so far . . . but I still think Ditka could take him by ten points easy.”
why is she smiling MADLY?
Is SHE >>IS SHE going to bow OUT??
Thanks, Siun
Yep. She looked like Hell.
Gotta admit, I love that color blue that she’s wearing…
Bill looks really red …
Because it’s not a real smile.
Goes right to mocking Obama in her first line.
Classy.
OK SHE HAS LOST HER MARBLES
Full speed onto the WH?
What is she smoking?
She ain’t givin an inch! She’s tough.
Hillary, “Full speed onto the White House.”
WTF “Full Speed on to the White HOuse” who leg is she pulling???
So now she’s saying she’s “come from behind” in Indiana???
please – lets try to avoid shouting
Where are you watching this – no TV here.
Charlie Rose and some political whazzit were talking about Sam Nunn as a VP candidate for Obama. I kid you not. He’s 2 years younger than McCain but would still be 70 by election time.
im telling ya…she has lost it
amazing … delusional
Agree!
But not in a good way.
MSNBC has him looking almost puce.
because we want our children to have the world…….
minus Iran after I obliterate it.
I’d use another word…. deluded?
sorry this is woefull
Heckling? Or a baby close to the mic.
Hillary is asking for help-donations?
My thought, exactly. When I was growing up in Indy, news reports about “waiting for results from Lake County” always seemed to be accompanied with a “wink, wink.”
SHe’s not even going to mention NC, is she?
Go to MSNBC.com and click on their Live TV link
Nope.
Rovian, I’m sorry to say… Flying in the face of stark reality.
And Vandenburgh is UI-Evansville. Lake and Marion is not reported…I don’t know who’s left out in the CNN reports. That’s critical. But all these other remaining counties are about 20,000 people total. Lake has 484,000 people and is really in the Chicago Metro area.
I’m not watching her speech but did she really just lie and say that she came from behind????
the polls were all lying??
asking for money again. Not gonna happen
http://www.cnn.com/live/ seems to have it live
what a weird vibe. she’s pissed.
The desperation of bluster and bravado? Hey, it worked for Bushie.
oh Hill you are a disgrace
wistful look on Bill. Wonder what he’s thinking right now.
SHE’S BEGGING FOR MONEY AGAIN!
Sheeit. You’re DONE, Hilary. You lost. Good night and good luck.
Hillary passing the hat. Can you say desperation?
More fun getting the play by play here.
hey but…God Bless me Im RICH!!!
This Hillary thing is getting to be like having surgery without being asleep.
Talking about being invisible when your loved one….
Not good, Hill, not good.
she looks like she’s been crying….. livid! tears of anger, frustration and loss!
This crowd response seems very tepid in contrast to what we heard during Obama’s speech.
Well I don’t know her personally- she may be a flaming asshole- I’m just sayin she’s tough and I respect that about her..it would be easy to crater.
I really have no idea which of these two would make the better president-neither was my choice- but she put her heart into this thing and it takes some guts to give the speech she’s giving tonight…I salute her.
yep … she said she came from behind thanks to the volunteers etc
her voice is odd tonight … this is a very strange delivery
Sure pushing that gas tax holiday…… ANYONE challenge her on the 311,000 jobs and $9 BILLION in highway funds that would just dry up……
root canal—no novocaine.
I swear I heard her say that… However, she’s also begging for money… it’s really pitiful.
Good one. It is painful. I’d have been embarrassed a long time ago if I were she.
yeah, but that money just isn’t enough. she craves the power and control. the FAME.
I can’t help it……I like Hillary.
She may not be my choice for prez, but I still admire her.
Hi Betsy!
Yeah, she mentioned it…congratulated Obama on his victory there.
Clinton has dropped the working class bit and is now pronouncing her -ings.
she’s still pushing the freaking gas “holiday” WFT?
Bill looks like he tried to talk someone into something tonight, and it did not work.
Will someone PLEASE stick a fork in her? She’s done…
nodding … it’s very odd since she’s delivering the lines about caring for the people etc but sounds so pissed … it reads all wrong
Was Hillary just implying that HER mother was a single mother, saying “she worked hard to raise her children”, didn’t have chance to go to college…
Have I missed something? My impression was that she grew up with the once-tradiitional 2-parent one-income family.
So (if I’m right about that), she’s now trying to compete with Obama on the tough-childhood raise-by-a-single-mom story?
yup, rushing through, not stopping at the applause lines.
I’m watcing now. She is still pimping the gas tax bullshit
lol!
at least he finally closed his mouth.
There goes that pointing finger thing….. shutter….
Gettin’ tired. Gotta get some sleep. She gotta rest her achin’ head.
I do have mixed feelings about her. We’ve had all this Clinton-Bush stuff, but she has worked really hard; did early work for the Children’s Defense Fund. She has certainly been ground breaking. She has that odd thing that so many people really, really dislike her. Unless she is a mack truck, she has to be exhausted.
it’s NOT that close anymore Hill. no matter how bad you’d like anyone anywhere to believe that,
and there AIN’T gonna be a win in November!
It’s up to the Super Delegates ending this now …
I think her day was really tough, if not abusive. They were together, but I guess mom did the raising.
Funny! Well, my father died when I was eleven, but I was old enough to know that he ran for circuit court judge. You might say I was brought up in politics. Among daddy’s friends were the city clerk and Judges and lawyers, etc. Daddy was Juvenile Court Referee. We were, as you say, politically connected. I guess you could say, my Daddy was part of the machine, so to speak.
Can’t believe she said “We came from behind” in Indiana. Must have been the sniper fire that was holding up her progress.
David has a brand spanking new post up extolling the virtues of Primary Night: The Cliffhanger in Indiana.
Indeed.
Oooops, meant Dad.
That they’ve lost. I think there is a difference of opinion in that family about what to do next.
I have family who firmly believe that Spring starts on Nascar opening day.
