Plus '92 was a strange year with Perot in it.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/05/04/opinion/polls/main4069259.shtml

'96 wasn't and the map was pretty similar.

Plus, if Obama wins the states Triumph was talking about it will look pretty close to 1992 and 1996.

Oh god, I don't think I can handle 7 months of Diablos and Cheebs hand wringing. For comfort, take a look at what happened in a R+10 district last night in Louisiana.

Come on, man! Cheebs and I are simply going over the possibilities. And I see nothing wrong with preparing for the worst. It just depends on how you look at it. Nobody knows how this thing is going to end for sure. "Hand wringing" my ass. You label me when it's convenient for you, but we usually see eye to eye on things, politically speaking anyway.

If APF were still around, he would point out that Robert Byrd, WV's eternal Senator, was once a member of the KKK.

It's true.

This man is like 90 years old and still in the senate. Here are some videos of the man at work:

Obama hasn't spoken yet.

BTW, anybody catch Evan Bayh saying after this Tuesday the party will come together under one nominee? Think he might've been tipping something?

Grandjedi: They know who Colbert is, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was a Reagan Republican.

Possible. I just find their evidence ridiculous. Being religious and voting Republican at least once = conservative? That's some extreme demographic dividing there

I'm not sure what you're implying, since the Clinton campaign just announced they will be in Indianapolis the night of the results. The hint: They've won.

Obama has yet to announce anything yet.

A poll of Northwest Indiana Democrats (Lake and Porter Counties) has Hillary ahead by 13 points- 46% to 33%.

Northwest Indiana is the state's second-largest pool of Democratic voters, behind Marion County. Lake County has the state’s highest concentration of Democrats, statistics show.

"If you want to be able to win in Indiana, you have to turn out the vote in Northwest Indiana," Eisenstein said. "This is the Democratic stronghold of the state."

the Clinton campaign just announced they will be in Indianapolis the night of the results

with an audience of dozens

I'll lay it out for you pretty simple.

EVAN BAYH IS IMPLYING THAT THE NOMINATION PROCESS WILL BE OVER AFTER INDIANA.

The only way that happens is if Hillary concedes.

 

[typhonsentra]

Wilson and his wife are both Shrillary supporters.

Oh I've known that for ages. It's still jarring to see someone like him write something like this though. I wonder what kind of position she promised him.

I don't get your point. Hillary is conceding after Indiana? Is that what you're saying? :lol

with an audience of dozens

Indianapolis will be better for Hillary, at least it should be, than Philadelphia was. And she held jam packed rallies THERE before the vote and when she won.

 

[Triumph]

I don't get your point. Hillary is conceding after Indiana? Is that what you're saying? :lol[

Sure, why would she want to go on and get her ass whooped in Oregon?

Indianapolis will be better for Hillary, at least it should be, than Philadelphia was. And she held jam packed rallies THERE before the vote and when she won.

So you think she'll win by a bigger margin than she did in PA?

 

[Tamanon]

Nooooo this coverage is running over Hannity's America! That means no posts from minus_273 tomorrow.

I'm not sure how much trust I would put into a poll commissioned by a local newpaper. Especially when that pollster is new to political polling and their website is a myspace page

 

[KRS7]

I think IN and NC will be opposites of each other

IN Clinton 54-46
NC Obama 54-46

 

[Triumph]

Are you serious??? :lol :lol :lol

Oh CoolTrick, never change. I sure am gonna miss you in the general election.

Bodes well for her... I guess, considering there isn't another state to run to.

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

So it's a new PoliGAF thread! Yay!

I have to say that as a foreigner, watching this race from afar and barracking for one side over the other thrills me to no end. It's like watching the FIFA World Cup. Difference is that I don't get live TV coverage over the event, so instead, I refresh the PoliGAF thread like a man possessed.

I feel like my granddad would have felt listening in on the World Cup final through the radio.

Spoiler

GOOOOOOBAMA!!!!!!

I think I would much rather watch this ordeal from another country as well.

 

[Tamanon]

Agent Obama is more like it.

 

[CoolTrick]

Well, that's the strange thing: Obama hasn't announced he'd be in North Carolina yet.

Sure, why would she want to go on and get her ass whooped in Oregon?

This is why you're just an all around weak debater. Gee, why should she go on to May 20th? *eyes*

Hell, why go on to the next weekend?

Nothing favorable there! *eyes*

 

[Amir0x]

Well, that's the strange thing: Obama hasn't announced he'd be in North Carolina yet.

OH MY GOD OBAMA TOTALLY SET TO LOSE NORTH CAROLINA

you really are off your rocker now, CoolTrick. No longer respectable.

 

[Tamanon]

To be fair, she may have raised enough money to pay off her creditors and that's why she stayed in so long

 

[grandjedi6]

I don't think Hillary is going to drop out anytime soon. However, Tuesday will be the last good chance for Hillary to drop out before June 3rd. She honestly can't drop out after a victory, only a defeat.

oh and do you honestly think Hillary is going to beat Obama in Chicagoland? Really?

 

[Diablos]

I wish WKTT was a daily broadcast so Richard Bastion could give us his wonderful insight

It has to be known...

What is the Secret Service code name for Obama, Hillary and McCain? Anyone know?


EDIT: Hillary's is Evergreen apparently.

 

[Amir0x]

:lol omg

hehehe peanuts

 

[jey_16]

god i wish Obama could finish her off on Tuesday even though i know it wont happen.....oh how sweet will that day be when she finally concedes......make it soon please America, make it soon......

 

[Triumph]

Well, that's the strange thing: Obama hasn't announced he'd be in North Carolina yet.

Obama has made a habit in this primary campaign of going to one of the next states on the calendar the night of a primary. So he'll probably be in either West Virginia, Kentucky or Oregon. You should probably know that by now.

This is why you're just an all around weak debater. Gee, why should she go on to May 20th? *eyes*

Hell, why go on to the next weekend?

:lol :lol :lol You're the one buying into the whole "Indiana is the important one because it's the one she can win" BS. Oh wait, nevermind, I forgot how truly delusional you are: you actually think (if that's the word, which in your case I highly doubt) that she'll win NC and OR. Riiiight.

 

[Triumph]

EDIT: Hillary's is Evergreen apparently.

Obama's is Renegade. Pretty bad ass.

 

[XxenobladerxX]

Is... is she gone!?

 

[DrForester]

To answer my own questions:

Secret Service Code Names:

Hillary: Evergreen

Barak Obama: Renegade
Michelle Obama: Renaissance


McCain: Only recently accepted Secret Service protection and it hasn't been made public yet.

 

[Amir0x]

code names aren't very coded these days huh

 

[KRS7]

code names aren't very coded these days huh

nope

 

[Diablos]

Obama's is Renegade. Pretty bad ass.

That's awesome, haha

Also, McCain doesn't want protection? Is he nuts?

 

[Tamanon]

McCain's is probably Methuselah.

Plus, McCain's an old white Republican, they don't get shot at anymore.

 

[DrForester]

That's awesome, haha

Also, McCain doesn't want protection? Is he nuts?

I was reading an old new repot but he apparently only accepted it a month ago. Name still isn't known though.

 

[KRS7]

That's awesome, haha

Also, McCain doesn't want protection? Is he nuts?

No, he doesn't need to, the crazy nutjobs that will kill a president or presidential candidate are the core of his base.

 

[The Lamonster]

is there another place to stream this JJ dinner? it keeps cutting out - horrible quality


is it on c-span right now?

 

[Diablos]

McCain's is probably Methuselah.

Plus, McCain's an old white Republican, they don't get shot at anymore.

Pff, it's still not worth the risk, as minimal as it may be for an old wrinkly white guy these days.

The fact that he so strongly supports the war is reason enough for someone to make an attempt on his life.

 

[Tamanon]

Fox News is airing it.

 

[The Lamonster]

Thanks - moving to the TV room!

 

[XxenobladerxX]

DEEEEEEAAAAN!

 

[Star Power]

Didn't he just speak at the Jefferson Jackson dinner two days ago?

 

[Tamanon]

Didn't he just speak at the Jefferson Jackson dinner two days ago?

Yeah, they both did. Each state has one

 

[Deus Ex Machina]

nope

* Barack Obama - Renegade

* Michelle Obama - Renaissance

:lol

Are you a Hillbot?

 

[VPhys]

Badass.

 

[The Lamonster]

so.. anyone know when Obama is going to speak?

 

[KRS7]

so.. anyone know when Obama is going to speak?

Pretty soon, he is on stage now. Very poor camera quality on the Fox news coverage.

 

[Tamanon]

so.. anyone know when Obama is going to speak?

In a few minutes, being introduced now.
