I'm planning on having some in celebration when Obama wins.

Dunkin Donuts should really pay the man for the free advertising.

Why was this thread made? Hillary Clinton told me there were NO primaries until Texas and Ohio. Unless she loses those. Then those don't count.

It’s turned into an unofficial ritual and, perhaps, superstition of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.: playing basketball on Election Day.

He played basketball the day of the Iowa caucus, and South Carolina primary, and won both contests.

He did not play the day of the New Hampshire primary, and Nevada caucus, and lost.

He recently said on “60 Minutes” that playing basketball is an Election Day “rule” now.

You aren't keeping up. Primaries and victories now don't count at all.

does he have the Asian vote in Hawaii?

It's also a caucus. That's an automatic advantage for Obama.

Here's to hoping that the spread in Wisconsin is much bigger than the polls suggest. Obama is still physically campaigning there, isn't he?

Barack Obama trailed Hillary Clinton in the most recent poll of Ohio Democrats released this week, but he outspent her more than 3-to-1 buying TV time in Cleveland for Ohio's March 4 primary.

Both Democratic presidential contenders made their first local advertising buys on Monday for 30-second commercials that started to run Tuesday.

Obama's campaign booked $482,883 in time on Cleveland's five commercial stations, buying 792 commercial spots throughout the day.

The Clinton campaign booked $153,467 on the stations, buying 262 spots also scattered from early morning to late night.

No Republican presidential candidates have yet made local TV ad buys in Ohio, but the John McCain and Ron Paul campaigns asked about rates on Cleveland stations this week

Ah I see. Then what is the Feb 19th primary for? And where are the delegate assignments? Sorry if I am a little behind.

EDIT: Nevermind, I forgot Republicans still exist.

Governor Kathleen Sebelius Calls On Clinton Campaign to Stop Discounting the Votes of Red State Democrats

“Senator Clinton and her campaign surrogates keep deriding Senator Obama’s wins in red states by saying that her victories in the ‘big states’ are the ones that matter,” Governor Sebelius said. “ The right Democrat, like Barack Obama, can carry red states, just like the 14 Democratic governors elected in states won by George Bush in 2004. We can’t tell people their votes don’t matter and then expect their support against John McCain in November. Senator Obama is reaching to Independents and Republicans because they desperately want to change our politics. I hope Senator Clinton will follow his lead and stop dismissing Democrats that don’t live in New York or California.”

Wish more people would come out and voice their opinions like this.

Silly man. That's only because proud African Americans came out. Or they were caucus states. Or...erm.. If she wins Texas and/or Ohio, they will count. Only votes for Clinton count. See: New York election results for further proof.
