12 Feb 08 Caucus/Primary Results Thread

Obama already coming in ahead in Virginia. Pubs too close to call.

This is fun. Takes the edge off waiting for the football season to kick back up.

Around the Superbowl I read one poll that showed that more people cared about the Primary races than the big game.

 

[Longhorn_Fan68]

I do/did.

Obama now has VA and DC

Unfortunately some stupid *** judge in Maryland ordered that the polls stay open till 9:30 PM ET, which means we wont know any results from MD for awhile.

I'm in MD, and the weather is icy, but no snow. About 15 degrees out. Not horrible weather by any means.

MD will go heavier to Obama than Virginia did. Virginia has a bunch of racist rednecks in teh appalachians (western virginia area) who are voting against Obama. Maryland doesnt have that same contingent of transplanted sooners that Virginia has.

cnn.com is still saying Hillary has the advantage in Texas. Is that really true?

 

[Sii]

Who knows? its almost a month away and lots of things seem to be changing there....endorsements, etc

There are also some things that favor Obama there like this from the WSJ today

Those polls are going to change a lot over the next 3 weeks or so

and some close to Clinton think she has to not only win both Ohio and Texas....but blow out Obama there. I dont think she can do that. I think he actually has a good chance in Texas

Tim Russart just talking about how Texas may fair for Obama better than some think....for the reasons many have talked about here in various threads

CNN is now giving the overall delegate lead, including super-delegates, to Obama.

 

[Sii]

Obama got nearly 60% of the female vote in VA too

looks like he is starting to eat away at Hillarys base

 

[Longhorn_Fan68]

In listening to Hillary give her rally speech to the folks in El Paso she spews as much or more ******** as many people try to pin on Obama. I'm not convinced any candidate can back up what they claim they can do, but at least with Obama it's believable - even if it's not clear he can accomplish what he's campaigning to do.

 

[Sii]

Obama wins MD

Clean sweep

 

[HornsInTheHouse]

It'd be cool if there were Half-Life sounds in the background of CNN, et al. as the results come in.

"GOD LIKE!"
"UNSTOPPABLE!"

Hillary has almost no chance of winning more delegates in Texas then Obama. I'll post number later on, but I've been doing the math. Even if Whites go 60% HRC and Hispanics go 4:1 HRC, the delegates work out to a tie and that is before the caucus.

 

[naijahorn]

75% in DC.

Even with a blowout expected, still surprising.

Obama is posting monster wins here.

Virginia: 29 points
Maryland: 27 points
D.C.: 51 points

 

[Longhorn_Fan68]

As of this moment, CNN shows Obama winning 65% of the vote in the current races versus Hillary's 35%. It's not even close. Wow.

 

[Longhorn_Fan68]

Good night for Obama. On to the Aloha state and the Cheesehead state.
