Obama claims majority of pledged delegates

NBC News projects Illinois senator to win Oregon primary. Obama says nomination within reach, but stops short of claiming it outright.

If people weren't so damn stupid then this thing would be over with clinton as VP so she can prove she isn't as flip-floppy as she's been during this primary.

But no, what do you see, people whining about a 'muslim president' claiming he's 'racist' and even 'the anti-christ'. That's why he lost in WV and in Kentucky, he won Oregon because they aren't stupid hillbillies willing to believe anything they're told.

I think it's a good time to move to Canada, I think this ship is sinking.

Both are idiots. One group is calling the other a racist and the other group is yelling sexist. Neither one derserve to be President.

[ang]

I hope your wrong . Myself I can't believe people think he's muslim or all the utter complete bullshit I hear . (no words)

[Gary]

Woo-hoo. Bye, bye, Clinton. Hop on your broom and fly back to Oz. Nobody wants you. Take all your shady dealings and your wandering husband with you.

Exactly!!! The "hillbilly" vote is the only vote he has issues with. Is it any wonder why with white EDUCATED people he does incrdible? Is it any wonder why with higher income Americans he wins?

These are the same hillbillies that said George Bush was the anti-christ! Get out of the barn and get with the times people!

Obama is a lying, evil, treasonous maggot, in my opinion. He is listed on the top ten most corrupt politicians list. Along with Pelosi, Feinstein, Boxer, and of course, the Clintons.

Which also explains his 93& of the black vote. But I guess there not racists just whitey huh?

The Rev. Wright is a maniac Muslim parading as a Christian. You don't understand that lying is built into the very core of the Muslim "faith" if it leads, even after 1400 years to the total genocide on all non-Muslims.

LOL

its complete

YOU KNOW AS A COUNTRY WE ARE FUCKED.

I am one of those hillbillies you are talking about. The reasons I voted for Hillary was because she knows how to bring our troops home safely, she knows that the gas prices are not what they should be she knows how to fix that problem. She knows how to start making everything the way it should be. I don't care what color anybody skin is. Obama don't know what to do. He is even against giving us a gas tax break for just a little while then fix the problem. We have 7 more months of the Bush year left. I really don't know what we are going to do. We can not live this way until a new President is elected in. I have to chose between a gallon of milk or a gallon gas for my kids. But I have to have both the gallon of gas to go get the milk. That $70.00 I could save with gas tax could help a lot this summer. I guess it's not that bad anywhere else just in Kentucky. Wake up America who you vote for is for the next 4 years. Think how do I want to live them. I want help now not in a couple of years that is how long it will take Obama to figure out he needs to do. Hillary already knows what to do.

THE DEMOCRAT'S FUZZY PLEDGED DELEGATE MATH

(The Math that is so often touted by Senator Obama and his supporters to essentially steal this nomination….what ever happened to one person—one vote?)

Senator Clinton scored decisive victories in the 2nd, 6th, & 7th largest states: Texas (4%), Pennsylvania (10%) and Ohio (10%)....but due to the Democrats’ quirky rules, those three large states added up to a total net gain of only 14 delegates for Senator Clinton — an advantage all but offset alone by Senator Obama’s single win in South Carolina (24th largest state), a net pickup of 13 delegates for him there.

And, to boot, we all know that South Carolina will turn TRUE BLUE come November. ;-)

It's no wonder Senator Obama and his supporters are so in love with this "fuzzy" pledged delegate math.

Primary Pondering
What if ...?

Another Case in Point:

If you look at the total electoral college votes from states won to date, here’s the breakdown:

CLINTON: 300
OBAMA: 217

Now……how is it again that Senator Obama is supposedly the front runner in this nomination process???

GO HILLARY!!!! You are currently ahead in the popular vote and will add to your lead by the end of the primary season.

LET THE PEOPLE SPEAK AND HAVE THEIR VOTES COUNTED!!!

You're one of the hillbillies we're talking about!

The fact that Obama receives 93% of the African American vote is of no consequence when you consider the fact that they make up less than 13% of the US. Blacks are not enough to elect him. Just as women are not enough to elect Hillary.

What you ignore is the fact that Barack wins in states that are nearly completely white. What's your brilliant response to that? How do you explain the educational gap in his supporters?

I can't wait for your reply....

YOU ARE A HILLBILLY. This is how an election is suppose to be run until the end. Why pull out nobody has won yet.

Can you explain how HRC is more qualified to bring home the troops than Obama?

The number is not $70 by the way it's $28. What Hillary didn't tell you is that our infrastructure would suffer as a result of that political trick. What you need is a president that doesn't start wars in the middle east and then run begging with his tail between his legs begging for cheaper oil. While I understand and sympathize with your financial woes, a cheap trick is not the answer.

What this country needs is a president that will think differently. Someone that will finally rid us of the Republican motto; Profits Before People

That is just ridiculous! You are being nothing more than hypothetical! The fact is that many of the states that you have so conveniently given to either candidate (based on their DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY) would NEVER go Democratic in a general election!

Get real! If you're going to argue for your candidate, try living in the real and not your little fantasy land. Thanks

Agreed! Good call

[GraceJeanJones]

What If....

The Democrats had the same pledged delegate rules as the Republicans:

Clinton would be the nominee!!!(a long time ago).

Clinton: 2430 pledged delegates
Obama: 1748 pledged delegates

Source: http://www.diversityj.com/WinnerTakeAll.html

It's ironic that Senator Obama may win this nomination only because he did so well in states like Wyoming, South Dakota, Idaho, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama...

All states that I'm sure will turn TRUE BLUE come November....

So...essentially we're letting states that have a huge minority Democrat voting block select the nominee over the states that remain TRUE BLUE election after election after election....

Something is really wrong with the Democrat's "fuzzy" pledged delegate math.

GO HILLARY!!!!

You are truly clueless.

Of course.....the general election does not pit the two Democrat nominees against each other. I did not claim this...I would never claim this.

However...electoral votes from each state reflect the populations of the states almost directly. For example, a state that has 8 electoral votes has half the population of a state that has 16 electoral votes, etc.

My point was....that even though Senator Obama claims that he has won almost 30 states to Senator Clinton's 18 states...comparing 30 to 18 means absolutely nothing....

Senator Clinton is winning the bigger more populated states...the states that provide more electoral votes come November. And remember...it takes 270 electoral votes in November to win the presidency.

Now...does it make sense to you that Senator Clinton is ahead in the popular vote????!!!!
