Obama, Huckabee wins all 3 states.
What I am hoping for now is, Obama destroys Clinton, grabs nomination.
It seems that all of Romney's supporters went to Huckabee, and I hope he sweeps all the states, and gets them in a brokered convention.

Nice rousing speech Obama just finished, too. Got some jabs in at Hillary over health care, too.
Yep, McCain got a slapback today, Huckabee's sure not going away at all.

Well fart in one hand and piss in the other.
The brokering is going to happen on the dem side.
McCain has over 700 delegates out of a 1191 needed while Hucklebuck has a couple of hundred.
Meanwhile as of 8 pm Western Time...Clinton had 1064 out of the 2200 needed and Obamar has 1026.
hmmm...which race is closer to brokering then?

It's those superdelegates that are keeping Clinton ahead. Somebody on this board predicted this.... I'll have to find that thread.

The super delegates are a great big unknown. I know that CNN et al have been busy assigning Super delegates but the reality is they can vote any way they want to they are not committed by the letter of the rules to supporting the winner of the state primary/caucus. MSNBC simply displays the elected delegates in my mind the Super delegates are a great big unknown.
I see the pundits worry that the dems not having a candidate are a huge disadvantage for them. Now US politics may be alot different than ours but having the press focus all of that free news coverage for the next 3-4 months on the democratic race while John McCain stories are simply about divisions in the GOP and without any individual candidate to attack wallows in a defensive strategy. No its all looking good for the Dems.
Its the economy stupid!!! This issue is certainly a great advantage or the dems. The fact that no one is talking about debt and deficit is of great concern to me and certainly mistifies me as in reality there are no other issues of the same importance. 9 trillion in debt (6 trillion added by Dumbya) will limit anyones actions and will continue to depress the US economy.
Its all about the money!!! Yup and the dems are bringing it in in bucketfuls while the GOP is far behind in fundraising. Conservatives pissed and zipping their wallets up, indiependants virtually burning Bush in effigy and mom and pop american not interested in anything GOP it dont look good for McCain.
Getting out the vote it the key!! Well it is and just have a real good look at the numbers on voter turnout during super tuesday. Dems are hands down the winners.
On all Fronts the GOP are screwed and its going to take a huge screw up by Dem candidates to screw this one up.

I heard somebody say that 4 years ago on this same board. I can't remember who it was. Wasn't you though. One of the DA senior citizens.
