Well, Hillary agreed to give Obama her delegates. Oh, surprise! Florida and Michigan's delegates' votes will "count" now. count : v not count; be meaningless; be pointless; q.v. moot Now that the other candidate has given up, we can count the FUBARed votes from the states that would...

Its over, people. Say hello to the next President of The United States, Barack Obama! http://www.aroundthewaybooks.com/images/obama.champion.jpg

And the totals so far: Indiana Clinton: 57% Obama: 43% North Carolina Obama: 65% Clinton: 35% So is this thing going to Colorado or what?

...and after all that, I didn't even get to be a delegate to the state convention... So last Saturday, March 29, I and about 1,300 of my fellow citizens in Texas State Senatorial District 25, all tried to get in to the San Antonio Municipal Auditorium at the same time. (There's more than enough...

I was just looking at CNNs politics page and after Mississippi it shows the delegate count at: Obama: 1608 Clinton: 1478 That gives Obama a 130 delegate lead. With the number of remaining delegates dwindling and only 400ish more needed for Obama (compared to 530ish for Clinton) is it even...

I tend to stay out of the Politics forum because politics can make enemies of the best friends -- so let me begin by saying, to all you fine people, I love you all. --- Without reopening the question of who's ahead, Clinton or Obama, let me preface my question with a few assumptions: Both...

Recent polls show that the race in California has tightened up If Obama can prevail in California, the biggest state population-wise and delegate-wise, it would be a major coup. The three most recent polls actually give him a slight edge. Hillary had a very wide lead in the state until recently.

Obama scored a big win in the South Carolina primary. It was not even close. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/south_carolina_primary

Okay, we've had some fun with these so far. Same rules as New Hampshire; pick four candidates (four, Lefty Sergeant) from each party, and list them in the order you expect them to finish. You will receive 20 points for correctly picking the winner, 15 points for correctly picking the runner...
