Obama supporters! - A positive place to talk about his campaign

[NewJersey]

Hasn't the case been dismissed because Larry has been brought up on fraud charges a few times and was also in a mental instition when the "party" happened?

Yeah and after his first ¥outube video came out, he took a lie detector test and flunked.

Hi Guys,

It figures I'd get sick, but the rest of the household is too, so I can't be surprised...

Anyhow, that tool is really great & I really like that design! Too bad you can't get that on a T shirt!

So the Montana Governor came out for Obama yesterday? That's very good....

I agree yesterday was a great day! I heard that the numbers for March would be thirty something....

Hillary raised close to 20 but owes 9 as we all know..... and she didn't have a lot of cash on hand to begin with (11?)

I don't know about this Sinclair business, perhaps that's a good thing.... I might be too tired to process it today...

Hey Chris, hope you guys feel better. I think the superdelegate was a former MT Senator who is part of the DNC now.

Hopefully we pick up a few more today to keep this week going.

Corzine said this morning that he'd vote for the candidate with the most pledged delegates after all the primaries are done in June. He's been a very vocal supporter of Clinton.

Another sign that this will be wrapped up in June.

Wow, that's a big one. I really thought she had promised Corzine something big because he came out for her so early. If he's wavering now, maybe he's thinking that she's going to lose and his chances for that Cabinet post or whatever are slim.

Too bad, I was hoping he'd leave NJ before he completely destroys it.

Interesting, don't know what to say about it... If those words were uttered from Corzine's mouth I can't imagine Bill is too happy right now... Wonder if he'll go off on the next batch of Super's he's still wooing....

Even after his going off on the CA Super's some were still sticking with Clinton, so, there ya go... has he turned into a ticking time bomb? Seriously I don't remember him that way from his years in the white house (and yes I voted for him)

I read our fundraising comes out tomorrow - what do you think? I'm guessing $45M. McCain probably raised $10M

They said yesterday that it was going to be in the 30's somewhere, but that they were still counting.


And thanks to whoever posted it for the logobama link. Got me a new avatar.

Tim Russert was on the Today show with the electorial map. They were saying that Clinton is telling the SD that Obama can't win the general. According to Tim it could end in a tie and have to go to the House of Rep, which is controled by the Dems. He showed ways they could all win.

I think Hillary's on the way out. Unless she has a really big win in PA I don't see her getting more SD. The big question is will she see the handwriting on the wall? She seems to think if she can hold out till the convention she can win, just don't understand that logic, but then I really don't think they are using much logic these days.

Well, I've turned SICK...

The Wyoming Governor is one, who's the second?

Plus, don't forget co-chair of the 9/11 commission, a rather knowledgeable guy on foreign policy no?

I don't post much on this thread, but lurk a lot (you guys seem to cover everything so well), but wanted to say that I was personally SO thrilled when I heard that Lee Hamilton had endorsed Obama. No, he is not a superdelegate, but as chris noted, he's extremely knowledgeable (and diplomatic) on foreign policy. He's currently the director of Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and extremely well-respected by both parties. I have watched his work through my job for over 20 years, and have so much respect for him. His word carries a lot of weight, so his endorsement was a real ! I'd love to see him get a position in Obama's administration - maybe diplomacy and bi-partisanship could return.

Carry on and another to this thread!

He flunked TWO lie detector tests he took over this. He apparently also has been charged with fraud in the past. Come on now, if there was ANY truth to this, the MSM would be all over it.

There is an understatement.

It is a great endorsement. It probably won't mean much to those who don't really follow senate proceedings, but I think it will play well with any undecided superdelegates.

WOW! That's a LOT of $$$. No wonder the folks in PA are being buried by Obama commercials.

It's not getting the press it deserves considering what 9/11 meant to this country IMHO.... I do hope the SD's look at this and say hey, wait a minute... like a lightbulb moment!

That's exactly what I'm hoping too.

Maybe Clinton is going to do a two-fer, her $$ numbers and her tax returns. This may be a blue light special worth waiting for!!

Why the Democratic race could end in North Carolina
""I really believe May 6 has the potential to be everything," says Joe Trippi, a strategist for the presidential bids of former North Carolina senator John Edwards this year and Howard Dean in 2004. "Every day you see increased pressure on Hillary Clinton about why she's staying in, and if she could win in North Carolina it would shut down that kind of talk and open up the possibility she could get there" to the nomination.

"But if he wins in North Carolina," Trippi says of Obama, "I think you're going to see things close up very quickly. You'll see a lot of superdelegates line up behind him."
