Sad day for the Dem's🙁 , outsmarted by the Rep's once again. Obama has a snowballs chance in hell of getting elected in Nov. Welcome president McCain and 4 more years of the same.

If that happens we deserve it. Again.

Umm... Derek...

AP tally: Obama effectively clinches nomination

WASHINGTON (AP) - Barack Obama effectively clinched the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday, based on an Associated Press tally of convention delegates, becoming the first black candidate ever to lead his party into a fall campaign for the White House.
.
.
The AP tally was based on public commitments from delegates as well as more than a dozen private commitments. It also included a minimum number of delegates Obama was guaranteed even if he lost the final two primaries in South Dakota and Montana later in the day.

Delegates do, and barring anything short of a catastrophy in the next few hours, delegates will. Hillary's odds are rapidly approaching those of your favorite candidate, Ron Paul.

I just hope she has the good sense to help Obama and the Democratic Party to make sure we don't get any more of McSame.

Not at all. According to today's polls, Obama is running 5 points ahead of McCain nationally, and that's before Hillary has even spent one breath stumping for him.

June, July, August, September, October. Obama and Hillary will have plenty of time to unite and bury McCain.

I think it's a fool's game to nominate a candidate based on electability. they're going to have the sleaze machine tarnish their image no matter who it is.

we should elect the person who will do the best job.

Biden '08!

wait, what?

Prior to the primaries Hilary was consistently polling 20 points ahead of Obama, that worked out well for her didn't it😱 But I'm sure the republican crossover supporters that catapulted him to the nomination in all those traditional red states will have his back:laugh:

Congratulations to Rush, Hannity, Murdock and the entire GOP team for securing the Whitehouse for another four years.

Obama is polling ahead of McCain today in electoral college votes too.

Keep dreaming guys. This will be 2006 all over again.

Polls mean shit. Bradly was ahead 7 points on the day of election and lost by 7. I don't think Obama has a snowballs chance in hell once the RNC machine gets to work on him he will be lucky to win DC.

Did I miss a TPM today? :roll:

But you're right, polls mean shit, especially when they disagree with your viewpoint.

Screw scientific data! :laugh:

It's about as scientific as Saddam has WMD's - you shouldn't always believe what people say.

especially in this age of pc where interviewees are terrified if they say 'no' to obama the next question will be 'why not because he's black' or ''are you racist.' I'll reserve judgment until i see actual vote proven by bradly effect.

narrowly securing a non-majority majority by nominating dino's and then doing nothing substantial with their victory other than presiding on a congress whose approval rating is nose-diving?

Dems ran on a conservative platform in 2006. I'll take it!

The scientific data said Saddam DIDN'T have WMDs prior to invasion. It was policy speeches laden with deceptive statements not based on empirical evidence that led us to war.

But I digress. Call me crazy, but I'll take my candidate's lead in the polls over your hunches.

You mean polls on the contest that will be held over 4 months from now? Yeah, relevant. Anyone who thinks this is a slam dunk wasn't paying attention in 04, which was also supposedly a slam dunk. This one is up in the air.

Obama for the win! 🙂 Party! :beer:

There has been no sea change of Red state to Blue.

Do you have proof of such a shift in Delegates?

Quite honestly all the Hillary supporters saying they will vote for McCain is political retardation.

Yup. Totally batshit crazy, IMO.

They might as well vote for Ron Paul. 😛

Im voting Paul, everything else is just business as usual. But then again as judged by the current social norms, Im certifiable.

Story here.

AP now reports that Obama has clinched the nomination.

Hillary's concession speech is forthcoming.

Theyve been saying on CNN for the last two hours that Hillary will not be conceeding tonight. Her douche of a campaign manager even came on to say it.

edit: nm, dave's post got my confused-like.

Ugh. That Sucks. I was really looking forward to voting for Clinton. Oh well, McCain, here I come.

I don't get that attitude at all.

Why would you rather vote for someone that shares less than 1% of the beliefs of your ideal candidate instead of voting for someone that shares 99% of the beliefs your candidate does?

Quite honestly all the Hillary supporters saying they will vote for McCain is political retardation.

I'm standing with Shiner on this one, 100%. We're probably both kind of surprised. 😉

Don't feed the troll, guys. Sensamp is just an attention-whore. First he said he'd vote for Mccain because McCain would do a bad job and a Democrat is guaranteed the job in 2012. Now he's saying he won't vote for Obama because he doesn't trust a Democrat President with a democratically-controlled Congress. His reasons keep changing but the objective is the same.

He's a minor annoyance that should be ignored.

Not to mention the empty suit hasn't won any democratic state worth mentioning outside of his home state. Sounds like a sea of Red forming.
