Feb. 9th primaries & caucuses--Dem. results thread

[Gabu]

Blacks were close to half the Democratic electorate

So much for Obama having problems in Louisiana.

[Gabu]

Anyway, I was the tally clerk. I got to count the votes, haha.

So 20-0 Obama, right?

[Gabu]

Anyway, I don't really remember the split that well, hold on...

We had:

14 whites: 11 Obama, 3 Clinton
2 blacks: 1 Obama, 1 Clinton

8 men: 7 Obama, 1 Clinton
8 women: 5 Obama, 3 Clinton

Now if only the caucus could be like that at large

Dave

Hardly, if Clinton got 50% of the black vote the media would never stop talking about it.

[Gabu]

Anyway, Nebraska is 69-31 for Obama with 73% in. Washington is 67-32 for Obama with 35% in. Louisiana polls close in about half an hour.

Sheesh, I knew Hillary was going to lose those but I didn't expect a raping that bad.

[Gabu]

Fox will not call WA

Fox just called WA

Huh?

[Gabu]

Shes speaking.

my ears

they hurt

What's she saying, was tonight a resounding victory for the Clinton campaign?

[Gabu]

Clinton wins a county in Washington.

laaaaaaaame

[Gabu]

Pacific is listed at the NYT as 80%-11% Clinton; it should be 55%-41% Obama.

Huh?  Why?  CNN has the 80-11 numbers as well.

[Gabu]

He also did better among women than men

Likely translation: more women were black.

[Gabu]

Obama: "The name of my cousin Dick Cheney won't be on the ballot [next November]. [cheers and applause] That was pretty embarrassing when that came out. [cheers and applause] When they do these genealogical surveys, you want to be related to somebody cool."

I love this guy.

Haha!

[Gabu]

Oh, and Rhode Island Attorney General Patrick Lynch has endorsed Obama.

Well that's that then. Clinton should just drop out really. Game over, Obama wins.

Sarcasm?

That much should be obvious.

[Gabu]

I am very happy to report that the Douglas County results have been corrected, and Obama actually carried the county with 64% of the delegates.  In other words, 39/39 county statewide weep.

WASHINGTON WINS AGAIN

Hilarious Clinton spin on her losses this past weekend:

Oh, well isn't that convenient, every single state that the Democrats will never win is also a state that Obama won, and every single state that the Democrats must focus in is also a state that Clinton won.

EDIT: Oh, besides Missouri.  Is Clinton still clinging to the belief that she won Missouri?
