Paint By Numbers, part 2
Author: BobR    Date: 05/14/2008 12:01:27

Once again we have another election night recap. Once again, little has changed. As expected, Senator Clinton won WV by approximately a 2-to-1 margin. In real numbers, that means she got 16 delegates to Obama's 7, a net gain of nine, shrinking Obama's lead from 168 to 159. This has been described as a "symbolic victory", since it really doesn't help her in a meaningful way, but as to what it's symbolic of is anyone's guess.

It did provide Clinton with an opportunity to exclaim that if Obama couldn't win WV, he couldn't win the White House. Once again, the small fact being overlooked by everyone: Obama got more votes in WV than McCain did. Obama got 91,652 votes, while McCain got 89,683. The Popular Vote Tally has been updated. This seems important to me, considering how she likes to manipulate the numbers...

Also as expected, Clinton has vowed to stay in it to the bitter end (oops - did I say "bitter"?). Since even James Carville - a Hillary supporter - thinks Obama will win this, what's the point? Is it pride?... tenacity?... a hope for a position of power?... insanity? Or does this have to do with her $20M debt?

Her post-win speech last night (described by Terry McAuliffe as her Best Speech Ever) began with her asking her supporters to give her campaign contributions. He was also hitting up reporters for contributions. There's been talk of Obama using campaign funds to pay off some of Clinton's debt. I doubt that would make Obama's contributers very happy, and there's no indication of whether that's gotten anywhere past the idea stage. Therefore - she needs those contributions to keep coming in...

In other election news, a House seat for a district in Mississippi long held by Republicans was captured by a Democrat in a special election last night:
It's becoming a disturbing trend for Republicans: losing traditional GOP strongholds to Democrats in some hard-fought congressional races.

It happened again Tuesday, as Travis Childers beat Greg Davis in a special election to replace Republican Roger Wicker, who served in the House since 1994 and was appointed to the U.S. Senate to fill the seat vacated by Trent Lott.

Childers' win will give him the chance over the next several months left in the seat's two-year term to build a fundraising and publicity advantage as he heads into November's general election. He will again face Davis, as well as two other opponents.

Childers' win gave Democrats a 236-199 edge over Republicans in Congress.

This is an amazing time. When deep south deep red seats flip to blue, the country really IS ready for change. Once again, let me point out that looking at the sheer numbers turning out for the primaries in all of the states, either Obama or Clinton could beat McCain. Let's not alienate them by breaking the Democratic party rules, or changing them midstream. Let the people that voted in valid elections (as agreed to by the party and the candidates before the season started) have their say.

Mornin' Raine, :coffee:

I say shame on West Virginia and their racist selves - forgive my bluntness, but I've heard too many reports from WV that say that it was out-and-out racism that kept Mountaineers from even considering voting for Obama. So I say screw WV - I am much more impressed that a Democrat won Trent Lott's seat in Mississippi - way to go Dems. Ain't nothin' gonna stop us now. Apologies to the handful of good folks who live in West Virginia who did step outside their comfort zone and cast a vote for the Democratic nominee, Barack Obama. That's my rant for today - now I'll shut-up and go to work :)

Cheers,

Good Morning Everyone!



Daily Reading has been posted to News of the Day in the Forum



Highlights/Lowlights:

- Bush DOE says wind can be 20 percent of U.S. power by 2030 -- with no breakthroughs

- How's that for an incentive? Drink beer, fight climate change A Chinese peasant has made a solar water heater - using only beers bottles and hoses.

- Democrat Travis Childers won Tuesday’s Mississippi special election runoff for Sen. Roger Wicker’s ® former House seat, handing Democrats the biggest of their three special election takeovers this cycle and sending a listless GOP further into a state of disarray. This is the Second Recent Southern Special Congress Election the GOP Tried to Use Jeremiah Wright Against a Candidate and Lost in a Heavily Republican District.

The Obama Race Card Isn't Going to Work in a Repub-Dem Election. This Was a Heavily Republican District. Add Hastert's Seat Being Won by a Dem and Tom DeLay's and the Republicans Face Big, Big Troubles in November. That makes it 3 for 3, in GOP heavy areas!

Raine,

I'm just curious do you agree with the assessment of the pantelones or the racism in West Virginia? I thought I might post my rant over on the SMS Live Blog, but am thinking better of it. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated - I don't want to start a war (But I wouldn't mind ticking off Clay :D), BTB, I fell asleep during Hillary's "greatest speech ever."

Cheers,

Faye:

I agree with your assessment about WV. I don't like saying it, and have been trying to bite my tongue about it, but I can't.



I feel that the *linton campaign capitalized off of it shamefully. I wouldn't say that we should ever completly write off a state, but we need to acknowledge that things like this exist and then work on a high ground to change it.



The other thing to realize, imo, it the fact that this is a small state. Not a lot of people live there. I was joking last night about 'As WV goes, so goes the nation" but a certain campaign is acting like this is a truth. It isn't.



The whole Idea of the 50 state strategy means that ALL states count, and it seems to be working.



Childers took Mississippi! Not by a small margin either! and I think that means we have another SD. So the number may change to 2025.

There are 138 pledged delegates left to dole out:

Oregon (May 20): 52

Puerto Rico (Jun 01): 55

Montana (Jun 03): 16

South Dakota (Jun 03): 15



Assuming they split these evenly, then Obama will need 75 more superdelegates and Clinton will need 241.

oh man:

2:57 p.m., Yeager Airport, Charleston, W.Va.: A steep descent brings Clinton's plane to Charleston's hilltop airport. After an appropriate wait, she steps from the plane and pretends to wave to a crowd of supporters; in fact, she is waving to 10 photographers underneath the airplane's wing. She pretends to spot an old friend in the crowd, points and gives another wave; in fact, she is waving at an aide she had been talking with on the plane minutes earlier.

Passing through briefly...



TriSec can be smug today. It's "Ride your bike to work week", so we did! I got a co-worker to meet up with me and we came in on the bike trail. We saved 8 car-miles of gas so far, and we'll be up to 16 by the time we get back home.



And we've broken the barrier in these parts. In the Suburbs, we're still fluctuating between $3.75-$3.95/gal....but the Exxon across from Fenway Park was asking $4.15/gal last night.



Anyway, TTFN! :tigger:

Comment by livingonli on 05/14/2008 14:33:58
By me, gas is $3.85 at the Sunoco station while it is $4.03 at the Exxon station one block north of that.



Most of the gas stations though are now between $3.95 and $4.05 for regular.

I know. I have a woman at work (white, Catholic, mid-60s) who says she is a "life-long democrat". She voted for Hillary, and really likes her. She "just doesn't like" Obama, still believes he's a "closet muslim" (we're working on that), thinks he's likely to be assassinated (shudder - I told her that using that threat as a reason not to vote for him is terrorism).



The good thing? She DOES NOT WANT McCain to be President. He's too old (!), he's wrong on policy, etc. I told her that if she doesn't want to have McCain as pres, she HAS to vote for the Dem nominee. I think it's getting through to her.



We'll keep working.

no - it doesn't make sense, unless you are also using a router, and it has a built in firewall that can "flag" sites as dangerous... but then it should remember that if it was restarted.

Eh...maybe. Russert seems more willing to call you on your B.S. more often. Certainly remember one of the times he talks to Cheney about Iraq being a cakewalk and Cheney tries to tap dance, and Russert plays a video from Meet the Press when Cheney said such things.

One rumour is that it is going to be an Edwards endorsement... But speculation is that it is bigger than that.


I hears it's a withdrawel speech.

I know. I agree. I have long stated that I think the Edwards' had a few things to work out between themselves as a couple. Eleizabeth liked Hillary's healthcare plan better.



The bottom line I think is that this is a nail in the coffin. That is a huge chunk of delegates...







And... Obama did win Texas...





Comment by Raine on 05/14/2008 21:28:57
IT's time for our party to get behind the nominee.



I suspect that Obama will choose a VP candidate in the next few weeks. Part of me was actually hoping that was going to be the big announcement.

Tom Vilsack threw his support to Clinton.



As to the other may have runs...

Tom Daschle is supporting Obama.

At this point, the democrats are pissing me off more than the repugs. Party members need to grow a pair and endorse Obama or Clinton and the delegates need to proclaim their choice so we can have a winner and get on with the business of defeatng McCain. Everyone is sitting on their hands and diddling their ass. Jeebus.

Comment by livingonli on 05/14/2008 22:05:21
Kucinich did say in Iowa for his supporters to back Obama in the Caucus if he didn't meet the threshold. Although he's been quiet since Iowa. Since he is further to the left than either candidate, he may not be that happy with either choice even if he supports whoever gets the nomination.

Edwards didn't even tell many of his former top advisers because he wanted to inform Clinton personally, said the person close to him. Edwards' wife, Elizabeth, who has said she thinks Clinton has the superior health care plan, did not travel with him to Michigan and is not part of the endorsement.

I don't think this will effect their marriage. I sincerly think that what we have seen in the past few weeks helped to make that choice.



If I were in her shoes, I would have stayed home as well. She made her choice clear. IF she had shown up in Michigan that would have become the story, and the edwards are both smarter than that.

Pat's nostalgia for the days when white males ran everything is really creepy. Talk about staying behind the times.



And let's not forget Pat's other tendency to defend people who have said the Holocaust didn't happen. Maybe Pat needs a little thin mustache.

They're not letting any grass grow under their feet. I just got an email from Obama's campaign asking for a donation in which you can also send a note of thanks to John Edwards and check out the pic that came with the email:

Can we have an audio clip of John from Colbert about the Jet skis? Or even him saying "that would be so cool!" about getting a job as a spy?



I *love* the way John E. says "cool!"



Enjoy!







Those are just the short clips. I didn't want to jam up the AudiCons more than I already do... :)



But if y'all want it - I can put it up too.

It's still better than any picture of the warm embrace of Bush and McCain.
