Title: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Aizen on March 04, 2008, 05:13:29 PM Yes, I, Aizen, have created it this time
I know Vermont closes at 7. Rhode Island closes at 9 Ohio til 7:30 Dunno about Texas, which one of you fine gents wants to tell me that nugget of info? Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Verily on March 04, 2008, 05:14:42 PM Most of the state closes at 9, El Paso closes at 10. Caucuses start shortly thereafter.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Sam Spade on March 04, 2008, 05:15:16 PM Multiple time zones: El Paso (roughly) is 9:00 PM EST. Rest of Texas is 8:00 PM EST.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Mr. Morden on March 04, 2008, 05:15:34 PM Is this supposed to be a results thread for both parties? We've always had separate Dem. and GOP results threads in the past.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: YRABNNRM on March 04, 2008, 05:16:27 PM I think the GOP race is at the point where it's probably unnecessary to have another thread for it.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Sam Spade on March 04, 2008, 05:17:32 PM Most of the state closes at 9, El Paso closes at 10. Caucuses start shortly thereafter.

This means I won't be able to watch all the analysis. Could I ask a couple of you to watch CNN and a couple to tune to the other two stations, please? I'll have CNN.com on, but that's about it.
BTW, we are just a little over 80 minutes from Vermont closing.

Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Joe Biden 2020 on March 04, 2008, 06:21:31 PM Do you think Texas will officially be the state to give McCain the nomination (i.e. the 1191 needed delegates)? According to CNN.com, he only needs 144 delegates to clinch it and there aren't enough in Ohio and Vermont to make that up, so it would have to be Texas, I guess.
It feels weird to have voted in the Oklahoma primary on February 5 and being down in Texas, though not voting, for their primary on March 4. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: True Democrat on March 04, 2008, 06:39:39 PM CNN now has interactive maps! Yay!

Clermont County appears to be a probable Clinton area but I did manage to see three or four Obama signs outside of my polling place. After putting my Victoria Wulsin for Congress sign back in my car, I went inside and cast my ballot for Barack Obama. According to a poll worker, the Democratic ballots apparently outnumbered the GOP by a large margin. Hopefully this bodes well for November...

+no surprises for Vermont. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Alcon on March 04, 2008, 07:01:38 PM Vermont exit poll:
Obama 61.8% Clinton 36.6% More likely to win in November: 71% Obama, 26% Clinton Most qualified commander in chief: 50% Obama, 43% Clinton 66% says Clinton has clear plan, 59% Obama Clinton does better in debate watchers Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Verily on March 04, 2008, 07:02:17 PM No surprises yet.

Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: War on Want on March 04, 2008, 07:02:31 PM I wonder how well Huckabee will do in Vermont, just for interest on how many Hick Republicans vs Moderate/Mainstream Republicans live there.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Lief 🗽 on March 04, 2008, 07:02:35 PM Nice.
Unfortunately, no exit polls for Republicans in Vermont. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Filuwaúrdjan on March 04, 2008, 07:02:55 PM CNN projects Vermont for Obama and McCain shock Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Lief 🗽 on March 04, 2008, 07:03:17 PM Looking at the exit poll demographics, Vermont is such an awesome state. ;D
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Sam Spade on March 04, 2008, 07:03:36 PM Yep, 62-37 is the "early" exit poll number. Not surprised here.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Хahar 🤔 on March 04, 2008, 07:05:26 PM So they were talking on MSNBC about if she manages to win 3 of the 4 tonight, what is more important? The news headlines....or the actual mathematics of the situation that she is still behind in delegates. What do you think? +no surprises for Vermont. Depends on which three states. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Alcon on March 04, 2008, 07:05:44 PM Interestingly, Obama did better among those making under $50,000 in Vermont than over.
60-38 among white Vermont Democrats, AKA Vermont Democrats. Otherwise deeply boring. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Lief 🗽 on March 04, 2008, 07:06:24 PM Al Giordano does some math:
Quote Here’s how I do the Texas math, based on exit poll numbers: - Hispanics will be as much as 35 percent of the Texas vote, and went 64 percent for Clinton to 34 for Obama. 35 x .64 = 22.4 of the total vote (for Clinton) 35 x .35 = 11.9 of the total vote (for Obama) - African-Americans will be about 20 percent of the Texas vote even with that strong Hispanic turnout (that means a huge turnout among both groups), and went 83 percent for Obama to 16 for Clinton. 20 x .83 = 16.6 (for Obama) 20 x .13 = 3.2 (for Clinton) Total Hispanic plus black vote: Obama: 28.5 Clinton: 25.6 That’s a huge advantage for Obama, especially because it means that only 45.9 percent of the vote came from non-Hispanic and non-black votes. To get to 50 percent, Obama needs 46.8 percent of all remaining (mainly white) votes. To get to 50 percent, Clinton needs 54.1 percent of all remaining (mainly white) votes. And since at least 40 percent of those remaining votes - maybe almost 50 percent - are white crossover Independents and Republicans, it looks favorable for an Obama popular vote victory in Texas. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Speed of Sound on March 04, 2008, 07:06:42 PM So they were talking on MSNBC about if she manages to win 3 of the 4 tonight, what is more important?

Otherwise deeply boring. One interesting thing is a higher percentage thought Clinton has a clear plan for the country, but voted for Obama anyway. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Hash on March 04, 2008, 07:06:59 PM Obama 0%
Clinton 0% in Vermont. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Хahar 🤔 on March 04, 2008, 07:07:50 PM So they were talking on MSNBC about if she manages to win 3 of the 4 tonight, what is more important?

I just did that same math, and came up with the same thing. We'll see if the exit polls hold up (early exit polls overestimated Obama in VT, after all...) Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: War on Want on March 04, 2008, 07:07:57 PM This is pretty random, but CNN has an County Map on its website!!!!
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Joe Biden 2020 on March 04, 2008, 07:08:25 PM Vermont is WTA for McCain, so he gets all 17 delegates, and according to CNN.com is sitting at 1,064 delegates with only 127 needed to clinch the nomination.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: ○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└ on March 04, 2008, 07:09:08 PM Obama has 9 out of 15 pledged delegates for Vermont. If he can break 65%, he gets a 10th delegate.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Хahar 🤔 on March 04, 2008, 07:10:32 PM The Super Tuesday Democratic thread was the fifth longest, ever. Can this thread break that mark?

We'll see if the exit polls hold up (early exit polls overestimated Obama in VT, after all...) Well. The early figures overestimated him relative to the figures released on close of poll. Slight difference. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: ○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└ on March 04, 2008, 07:12:33 PM If Clinton wins Rhode Island, but gets under 56.25%, she's probably looking at a net gain of only 1 delegate. Not very useful for her.
Oh, when I say percentages, I mean of the Clinton & Obama vote, it doesn't matter how many people waste their vote on the Gravelanch or whoever. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Aizen on March 04, 2008, 07:14:29 PM Obama has 9 out of 15 pledged delegates for Vermont. If he can break 65%, he gets a 10th delegate. He probably will fall short of 65%. Oh well. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Sam Spade on March 04, 2008, 07:16:25 PM They can't have that many voters up there.

Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Verily on March 04, 2008, 07:20:11 PM Voting in Sandusky County, OH, extended until 9 PM Will that delay exit poll releases?

Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Alcon on March 04, 2008, 07:22:28 PM I don't think they're legally obligated to hold them until the state closure time, which is still in eight minutes. Maryland was a different situation, since it was the entire state.

Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Sam Spade on March 04, 2008, 07:27:24 PM Finally, SW Vermont decides to give us some votes.
If I were in Texas, counties like Harris, Dallas, Tarrant and Travis are too multi-ethnic to read properly. Bexar and El Paso are too Hispanic. Hidalgo, Cameron and Webb are good counties for examining the Hispanic border. It might be best to look at the GOP suburb counties like Collin, Montgomery, Williamson, Fort Bend. I'm going to try and keep my eye on Beaumont/Port Arthur - racist whites vs. substantial black population. Some of the east Texas counties too, like Smith (Tyler) would be fun also. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Tender Branson on March 04, 2008, 07:27:38 PM So, OH exit polls in 1 minute ?

Just thought I'd point that out). Not so much for who wins, but by how much. The rural areas don't matter, Columbus doesn't matter (much), the Southeast of the state (especially) doesn't matter. What matters is the margins (in raw votes as much as percentages) in the sort of areas mentioned above.

Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Mr. Morden on March 04, 2008, 08:11:52 PM Some TX numbers in: Obama: 58% Clinton: 41% Probably early votes Weird, Texas numbers, but no exit poll (probably because of all of those early voters), and they're still voting in El Paso. Caucuses start in most of the state in 6 minutes. It's not weird. This is what always happens in states that vote in two timezones and close at different times. The networks don't release exit polls or call the state until all polls have closed statewide, whereas, the state itself will release numbers in places where the polls have closed. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: War on Want on March 04, 2008, 08:12:00 PM Interesting results from Texas.... It looks like a heavily Hispanic county in Texas voted for Clinton super narrowily. No, she currently has a narrow lead in the county. It's barely in. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Tender Branson on March 04, 2008, 08:12:31 PM Obama up 2:1 in Travis County (Austin I think).
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Alcon on March 04, 2008, 08:13:13 PM Early numbers look good for Obama.
On the other hand, these are probably early voters. Caveat emptor. Clinton should improve. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: War on Want on March 04, 2008, 08:13:25 PM Obama takes the lead in TX because of a flood of results in Austin.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Sam Spade on March 04, 2008, 08:13:54 PM These are the early votes.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Хahar 🤔 on March 04, 2008, 08:14:08 PM Results in for VT in every county but Grand Isle, by Lake Champlain.
Obama 59, Clinton 39. Obama carrying every county but Essex, in the northeast. McCain 70, Huckabee 16, Paul 7. McCain winning every county. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Verily on March 04, 2008, 08:14:13 PM Obama leads in Austin and Fort Worth. More rural counties for Clinton. Red River County for Obama (OK border, near LA).

Anyway, if President Bush walked into my house and began blasting everyone with an AK-47, I'm fairly sure they could arrest the bastard without impeachment. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Хahar 🤔 on March 04, 2008, 08:15:28 PM Dallas suburbs heavily for Obama. The city is still not in, however.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: War on Want on March 04, 2008, 08:15:54 PM Obama is actually winning a super Hispanic county!!!!(Jeff Davis)
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Ben. on March 04, 2008, 08:15:54 PM Red River County for Obama (OK border, near LA). Katrina Dispora? Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Flying Dog on March 04, 2008, 08:16:15 PM If the early voting holds up then the susa poll that had clinton up 50-48 in early voting is way off.
Plus, if they split election day voting as the early exits suggest then it might go to Obama by a good margin. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Keystone Phil on March 04, 2008, 08:17:13 PM Hillary will speak no sooner than 9 PM EST and then head to DC according to CNN.

Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Cubby on March 04, 2008, 08:33:19 PM What do you think turnout in Loving County will be? 125% of the population? In the 2000 General Election, they had 125 votes even though the total population was 67 In the 2004 Democratic Primary, they had 52 votes, even though the population was 51 In the 2004 G.E., they had 80 votes, even though the population was estimated as 51 So turnout could be anywhere from 100% of total pop (not registered voters), to 175% Red River County for Obama (OK border, near LA).

Which means that he should squeak by with about 51-48 if the exit polls were right and Sam is right that early voting is 40-50% of the votes. If it's closer to a quarter, the night may be very long.

Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: exopolitician on March 04, 2008, 09:35:04 PM Ohio looks increasingly depressing ... :P Well....hes winning Toledo atleast?

Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Meeker on March 04, 2008, 09:36:28 PM Huckabee basically quoted a bunch of Bible verses, compared himself to some old baseball player whose name I can't remember, compared himself to the people at the Alamo, thanked his staff, said how wonderful McCain was, and then left the stage until 2011

But the rest of Ohio (except Toledo) - ugly for Obama. It's probably due to those Toledoans that are descendants of the settlers that fought in the Border War for Ohio against Michigan. (What? If we're going to spend time talking about "German Catholics", I can claim that.) Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Verily on March 04, 2008, 09:42:40 PM Obama wins Loving County... with 32% of the vote, or 7 votes.

Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: War on Want on March 04, 2008, 09:47:48 PM It looks like Obama has got Texas in the bag, by a decent margin as long as Brownsville, McAllen and El Paso don't got to much against him.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: StateBoiler on March 04, 2008, 09:48:23 PM Check out this tidbit, and this is a primary.
Quote An Obama source emails First Read that the campaign is expecting turnout between 3.6 to 3.8 million in the Texas Democratic primary. Consider that John Kerry received 2.8 million votes in the Lone Star State in the 2004 general election. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Alcon on March 04, 2008, 09:49:32 PM CNN is really slow at compiling early votes. There are a ton of counties which have been reporting for a while but aren't included. Then again, it's Texas, so there are ten gazillion counties.

Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Alcon on March 04, 2008, 09:54:49 PM Wham. Hispanic counties in.
Bad news for Obama: he needs to not underperform his exit poll numbers, or have >50% early votes. Good news for Obama: Almost all of his best counties haven't reported any poll results at all. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Alcon on March 04, 2008, 09:55:57 PM Hahaha, look at CNN's updated Rhode Island exit poll.

Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Alcon on March 04, 2008, 09:58:51 PM No, but there are a few semi-nothing Clinton counties. Clinton counties are, I'm relatively sure, more in than Obama counties.
We'll see. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Joe Biden 2020 on March 04, 2008, 09:59:40 PM I guess really the only thing that we can take out of the Democratic races tonight, is "Bring On Pennsylvania!!"
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Sam Spade on March 04, 2008, 10:00:03 PM Is this number right on CNN? Cuyahoga early voting Clinton 50-48???

50-Obama 49-CLinton with 7 percent in. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Joe Biden 2020 on March 04, 2008, 10:01:28 PM By the way, what are we going to do in the 6 weeks separating Mississippi (March 11) and Pennsylvania (April 22). We might go nuts as political junkies not having new numbers coming in, but it might give the non-political junkies a nice break.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Verily on March 04, 2008, 10:02:23 PM Is this number right on CNN? Cuyahoga early voting Clinton 50-48??? If so, Ohio is over.

I never really counted Ohio as a strong Obama state. I always had a feeling it would go for Clinton. Texas I was unsure about all the way, and still am to some degree, though I'm having more and more confidence that it will go to Obama. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Sam Spade on March 04, 2008, 10:03:23 PM Huntsville is nearly all in (narrow Obama win b/c of the high black pop).
My bad on Ohio not having early voting, if it doesn;t. :) Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Sam Spade on March 04, 2008, 10:04:00 PM Is this number right on CNN?

So far, I'm not seeing that. A heavy Hispanic turnout in TX was reported; higher numbers than in 2004. This was Obama's chance to end it (and it still might be). It looks like Obama is abandoning the "elected delegate" argument. We might see a brokered convention. Republican unity and no frontrunner for the Democrats, with the potential of the DNC floor fight. I'll bring the popcorn (if one side or another doesn't hire me).

Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Lief 🗽 on March 04, 2008, 10:49:20 PM Hm... I wonder when caucus results come in.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Sam Spade on March 04, 2008, 10:49:35 PM Guys, the Clinton stories of bad caucus results are REAL, I was precinct chair for the Republicans here, they had no clue what to do, I helped them set up and they still did it all wrong, an Obama organizer ended up running it. It was so bad. lol - FLORIDA AGAIN!!! Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: John Dibble on March 04, 2008, 10:49:54 PM What is really, really sad is that I am sitting here screaming "Hillary! Hillary!" at my TV :) In my experience that's usually a sign of demonic possession. ;) Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Alcon on March 04, 2008, 10:50:21 PM Texas is looking grim for Obama.
They are talking about a 15-16 delegate gain for Hillary on MSNBC. That's generous. How do they figure that? We'll see how the caucus goes, I suppose. Anecdotal reports say that Obama will probably win, although not at his usual clip. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: The Man From G.O.P. on March 04, 2008, 10:50:35 PM OMG HILLARY AHEAD IN TEXAS
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: StateBoiler on March 04, 2008, 10:51:08 PM "Hi, I'm Texas. I take FOREVER to count results" Your state took 4 days for a caucus. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Sam Spade on March 04, 2008, 10:51:15 PM Look, folks. This is the primary to end all primaries. We've just begun. Much like in Florida 2000, it's great to watch political history happen.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Alcon on March 04, 2008, 10:51:43 PM South Texas is actually doing an unusually good job of counting quickly.
El Paso...not so much. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: True Democrat on March 04, 2008, 10:52:06 PM "Hi, I'm Texas. I take FOREVER to count results" Texas, meet New Mexico. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Meeker on March 04, 2008, 10:52:14 PM "Hi, I'm Texas. I take FOREVER to count results" Your state took 4 days for a caucus. No no - my state Republican party took 4 days. My Secretary of State was very prompt Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: StateBoiler on March 04, 2008, 10:52:23 PM MSNBC has projected Clinton for Ohio.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: © tweed on March 04, 2008, 10:52:30 PM MSNBC OH Clinton
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Eraserhead on March 04, 2008, 10:54:10 PM Oh well...
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Lief 🗽 on March 04, 2008, 10:54:28 PM I'm still not seeing why Texas looks bad. Clinton's areas are coming in, Obama's aren't, and it's tied.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: War on Want on March 04, 2008, 10:55:00 PM Obama better get the margins closer in Ohio, if he wants to keep her delegate lead down.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Flying Dog on March 04, 2008, 10:55:07 PM Texas is looking grim for Obama. They are talking about a 15-16 delegate gain for Hillary on MSNBC. That's generous. How do they figure that? We'll see how the caucus goes, I suppose. Anecdotal reports say that Obama will probably win, although not at his usual clip. Nearly nothing in from Houstin, Dallas, or austin Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home. on March 04, 2008, 10:55:21 PM clinton +11k in Texas, 29% reporting
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Verily on March 04, 2008, 10:55:39 PM That was 40% of Cameron County.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Stranger in a strange land on March 04, 2008, 10:56:21 PM Obama better get the margins closer in Ohio, if he wants to keep her delegate lead down. she'll win but I don't think she'll get a huge delegate haul from it Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: War on Want on March 04, 2008, 10:56:37 PM I still think Obama will win Texas by a decent margin, because of Austin, Houston and Dallas not reporting much yet.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Fmr. Pres. Duke on March 04, 2008, 10:56:58 PM Ohio to Clinton.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: True Democrat on March 04, 2008, 10:57:04 PM I've been watching CNN all day. And Wolf Blitzer keeps saying that no one has won the White House without Ohio "in over 100 years." I want to show him a map of the 1960 election and then hit him in the head.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Gustaf on March 04, 2008, 10:57:22 PM CNN calls Ohio for Clinton.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: StateBoiler on March 04, 2008, 10:58:03 PM Obama better get the margins closer in Ohio, if he wants to keep her delegate lead down. she'll win but I don't think she'll get a huge delegate haul from it It'll be net positive for her I think which is all that really matters as she gets to live another 5 weeks. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: John Dibble on March 04, 2008, 10:58:19 PM Well, time for bed. Too bad about Ohio, but I figured Clinton had a good chance there, though she's doing better than I thought she would at the moment. Rhode Island and Vermont basically cancel one another out. Hopefully Obama will win the Texas primary and caucus.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Eraserhead on March 04, 2008, 10:58:32 PM I still think Obama will win Texas by a decent margin, because of Austin, Houston and Dallas not reporting much yet. Hold your horses friend. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Flying Dog on March 04, 2008, 10:58:54 PM Austin, Dallas, Houston need to count their votes!!!!!Now
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Gustaf on March 04, 2008, 10:59:37 PM There seem to be a lot of Clinton precincts left too.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Verily on March 04, 2008, 11:00:20 PM I'm not sure where the new votes are coming from, maybe Nueces, or maybe just more obscure counties fully reporting. Obama does have a big fall-back in the cities, and the Limbaugh effect does not appear to have materialized in Collin County.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: True Democrat on March 04, 2008, 11:01:56 PM Nueces, Hidalgo, Bexar, and Cameron are all coming in for Clinton. Obama's votes are trickling in in Tarrant, Dallas, and Travis. El Paso and Houston are both basically out still.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: J. J. on March 04, 2008, 11:02:17 PM TX counted the early votes first. African American turnout was lower than 2004; Hispanic turnout is higher. This could end up being bad news for Obama.
RI is almost a mirror of VT. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Lief 🗽 on March 04, 2008, 11:03:12 PM McMullen county is interesting...
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Alcon on March 04, 2008, 11:03:25 PM TX counted the early votes first. African American turnout was lower than 2004; Hispanic turnout is higher. This could end up being bad news for Obama. I think we knew a couple of hours ago that this was bad news for Obama. :P Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Verily on March 04, 2008, 11:03:46 PM Dallas and Travis are pretty far behind the Hispanic counties right now. Harris will go more for Obama than El Paso will for Clinton, in raw numbers. The rural areas are basically all in. I think Obama has a slight edge, but perhaps not. There's also Jefferson to consider.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: True Democrat on March 04, 2008, 11:03:58 PM Clinton's margins are actually improving in Ohio. . . (Yes, I know Cuyahoga hasn't come in yet)
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: auburntiger on March 04, 2008, 11:04:43 PM 50-48 Clinton in Texas. McCain clinches the nomination!!!

No no - my state Republican party took 4 days. My Secretary of State was very prompt . From 2000. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Sam Spade on March 04, 2008, 11:05:01 PM Folks, it is way too early to start predicting Texas, yet.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: True Democrat on March 04, 2008, 11:05:24 PM I hate you Harris County.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Flying Dog on March 04, 2008, 11:06:19 PM Harris County:
62% Obama 38% Clinton A whopping 1% of the precints in. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Lief 🗽 on March 04, 2008, 11:06:25 PM From the Buckeye State Blog:
Quote blah blah blah...Clinton's up 140k in Ohio. Yea. I get it. But we've got 0% in Hamilton County, 0% in Montgomery County, next to nothing in Toledo, and - of course - o% in Cuyahoga County. So hold your horses before you start calling this either way. And looks like Cuyahoga County won't be reporting till about 4:30am. I know - great news. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: jimrtex on March 04, 2008, 11:06:34 PM McMullen county is interesting... Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Alcon on March 04, 2008, 11:07:15 PM McMullen county is interesting... I'm curious about that too - mind expanding? Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: True Democrat on March 04, 2008, 11:07:54 PM Austin is pouring in.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: War on Want on March 04, 2008, 11:08:04 PM I still think Clinton is screwed. If she does win the nomination somehow, I will be pleased to watch her burn.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Lief 🗽 on March 04, 2008, 11:08:28 PM I'm very proud of Austin. ;D
Obama's closing the gap in Texas again. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Sam Spade on March 04, 2008, 11:09:08 PM The margin increase for Clinton right now in Ohio is the industrial NE coming in.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: War on Want on March 04, 2008, 11:09:47 PM In Ohio Obama is closing the gap as well with 56-42, with Montgomery County pulling for him.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: True Democrat on March 04, 2008, 11:10:26 PM The margin increase for Clinton right now in Ohio is the industrial NE coming in. That's a nice margin for Clinton in Youngstown (Am I right that it's Mahoning County?) Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: True Democrat on March 04, 2008, 11:12:04 PM Dallas coming in now too. Obama narrowing, and I would expect him to take the lead eventually again (I'm not saying he's going to win it though).
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Verily on March 04, 2008, 11:12:54 PM Hansford County can't be right. Over 1000 GOP primary votes and no Dem votes.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Gustaf on March 04, 2008, 11:13:32 PM Lots of Obamaland coming in now.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on March 04, 2008, 11:13:51 PM Jefferson is still all out in addition to most of Harris.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Alcon on March 04, 2008, 11:14:46 PM Lots of Obamaland coming in now. Where? Latest update had Bexar and Travis, not much for either. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: True Democrat on March 04, 2008, 11:15:20 PM Jefferson is still all out in addition to most of Harris. As is El Paso and much of Hidalgo (though they can't nearly match the numbers in Harris). Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on March 04, 2008, 11:15:39 PM Hansford County can't be right. Over 1000 GOP primary votes and no Dem votes. Someone posted earlier that a party can't have a primary without a county chairman. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: War on Want on March 04, 2008, 11:15:52 PM I gotta do homework sometime tonight.*groans*
Bad night for me, stupid Clinton. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Verily on March 04, 2008, 11:16:05 PM Jefferson is still all out in addition to most of Harris. As is El Paso and much of Hidalgo (though they can't nearly match the numbers in Harris). I wouldn't expect many more votes from Hidalgo. For some reason, they early vote like mad there (30,000 of 40,000 total in the primaries in 2004). Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on March 04, 2008, 11:16:15 PM Jefferson is still all out in addition to most of Harris. As is El Paso and much of Hidalgo (though they can't nearly match the numbers in Harris). Remember that the Hispanics overwhelmingly vote early.

Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Gustaf on March 04, 2008, 11:17:58 PM Lots of Obamaland coming in now. Where? Latest update had Bexar and Travis, not much for either. I was looking at the counties where Obama does well incraesing their number of precincts. And possibly lagging too. And I'm tired and know little about Texas counties. Given all that I think I was correct... :P Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: jimrtex on March 04, 2008, 11:18:06 PM McMullen county is interesting... BTW, McMullen is the only county in South Texas without a Hispanic super-majority. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: True Democrat on March 04, 2008, 11:18:09 PM I'm going to miss clap-clap-point-point, but clap-clap-wave-jig is an acceptable substitute. She claps and Obama points, it seems to me, at least before the Texas debate. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: War on Want on March 04, 2008, 11:18:16 PM Hahahahahahahaahahah!!!!
I take solice in the fact that Columbus voted for Obama, even though Clinton is speaking there. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Lief 🗽 on March 04, 2008, 11:18:47 PM Well, she's going to keep going apparently.

Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Flying Dog on March 04, 2008, 11:20:13 PM Denton looks promising for Obama.
Dallas is still 2/3 out. As is Austin Fort Bend also is going strong for Obama Houston will be the one to kill Clinton though. Clinton is doing well in Hildago, Cameron, and Webb which hasn't reported at all. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: War on Want on March 04, 2008, 11:20:20 PM Yes We Will!!!!!
LOL WTF. LOLOLOLOLOOLOLOOLOL Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Verily on March 04, 2008, 11:20:38 PM Obviously an error in Brooks, by the way.

Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Verily on March 04, 2008, 11:21:32 PM El Paso starting.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Alcon on March 04, 2008, 11:21:38 PM Obviously an error in Brooks, by the way.

Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Gustaf on March 04, 2008, 11:21:48 PM Clinton: I won Michigan. :D
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: War on Want on March 04, 2008, 11:22:06 PM Crap. It looks like it is over in Texas. Obama is not closing the gap even though Houston, Dallas and Austin are all reporting.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Verily on March 04, 2008, 11:22:20 PM Harris, too, and much more of Travis.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Volrath50 on March 04, 2008, 11:23:15 PM Clinton: I won Michigan. :D Lol, as if that were particularily difficult for her.

The same exact thing happened in Okanogan County, WA, during the primary. I think it was alphabetizing error. Or Doddmentum. My guess is that someone alphabetized Clinton as "Hillary", throwing everything off one. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: War on Want on March 04, 2008, 11:24:57 PM Clinton annoys the sh**t out of me. Hello Hillary, welcome to the Mute Button. It is a hell of a lot better of a speaker than you.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on March 04, 2008, 11:25:07 PM What's with the caucus results?

Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Fmr. Pres. Duke on March 04, 2008, 11:26:13 PM YES WE WILL!
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: J. J. on March 04, 2008, 11:26:29 PM Crap. It looks like it is over in Texas. Obama is not closing the gap even though Houston, Dallas and Austin are all reporting. It's still too early to tel, but a net gain for Clinton, in terms of delegates. The race will continue with both candidates viable. Bill Clinton is to campaign in WY.

Does she care at all about the future of her part in the (very likely) event Obama wins? It just seems stupid that she'd give McCain so much ammuntion to use in the General Election.

She's still clear by 14% in Ohio with 70% in. Her lead in Texas is growing despite the supposedly Obama heavy counties coming in. YES SHE WILL! Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: ag on March 04, 2008, 11:34:36 PM Clinton's lead is expanding in Texas, but I can't figure out what's coming in, besides Corpus Christi.

Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Keystone Phil on March 04, 2008, 11:39:16 PM Obama has been speaking for about a minute. How many people have fainted so far?
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: True Democrat on March 04, 2008, 11:40:03 PM One thing I like about Obama is that he can actually admit defeat. Every time Clinton loses, it's the seem as the victory speech, which is a bit ridiculous.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: War on Want on March 04, 2008, 11:40:35 PM lol @ Clinton for getting like 5 hands of appluase of congratulation.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: True Democrat on March 04, 2008, 11:40:58 PM Clinton's lead is still growing in Texas. Why?
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on March 04, 2008, 11:41:02 PM I've been out since Page 26. Can somebody tell me what's going on? Hillary won OH, RI, and is leading in TX; Obama won VT. Probable net delegate gain for Clinton. Not with the caucus out and the disappropiation in Texas. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Reaganfan on March 04, 2008, 11:41:24 PM Clinton's lead is still growing in Texas. Why? Because America wants a McCain vs. Hillary election. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: MarkWarner08 on March 04, 2008, 11:42:03 PM Clinton's lead is still growing in Texas. Why? Because Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: The Man From G.O.P. on March 04, 2008, 11:42:07 PM Obama is giving a really poor speech... he must be wondering when this all will end.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Verily on March 04, 2008, 11:42:42 PM Clinton's lead is still growing in Texas. Why? Hidalgo this time. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: True Democrat on March 04, 2008, 11:42:49 PM Obama is giving a really poor speech... he must be wondering when this all will end. He looks really pissed. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Хahar 🤔 on March 04, 2008, 11:42:52 PM Damn. Come on, Texas. Pull a Missouri.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: True Democrat on March 04, 2008, 11:43:37 PM Clinton's lead is still growing in Texas. Why? Hidalgo this time. Ah. That's an incredible margin for Clinton in Hidalgo. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Reaganfan on March 04, 2008, 11:43:58 PM GO HILLARY!!
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Flying Dog on March 04, 2008, 11:44:05 PM Harris County needs to get in. Maybe they had lots of votes to count.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: The Man From G.O.P. on March 04, 2008, 11:44:13 PM Obama's speech is HORRIBLE the man obviously didn't know how the Clintons are immune to reality.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Keystone Phil on March 04, 2008, 11:44:20 PM I almost always admire Obama's delivery but he does seem very nasty in his tone tonight.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: True Democrat on March 04, 2008, 11:44:34 PM How big will Webb be when it comes in?
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: jesmo on March 04, 2008, 11:45:00 PM Come on, Shrillary, you can do it. You are right for America. Obama is not. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: True Democrat on March 04, 2008, 11:46:19 PM Hillary about to break a million in Texas.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: MasterJedi on March 04, 2008, 11:46:33 PM The lead just keeps getting bigger! Hillary breaks a million votes.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Verily on March 04, 2008, 11:47:17 PM How big will Webb be when it comes in? Smaller than the other big counties; it only has a bit over 200,000 residents, much smaller than most of the others we're talking about. About three-quarters of Nueces. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Flying Dog on March 04, 2008, 11:47:50 PM Obama should net 200,000 votes in Harris if the current margin holds.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: 12th Doctor on March 04, 2008, 11:47:57 PM Two things... first off, I think even most Democrats would admit that saying McCain wants to follow the same exact course as Bush is a blatant straw man... secondly, I am starting to realize that Obama always gives the same speech.
Blah Blah Blah hope. Blah, Blah, Blah Change. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: True Democrat on March 04, 2008, 11:48:32 PM How big will Webb be when it comes in?

Still should had a few thousand votes for Clinton's lead. We really can't judge the race until the rest of Harris comes in. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Fmr. Pres. Duke on March 04, 2008, 11:48:47 PM Some of the same from Obama. Change, change, hope hope unity unity. I think that is making people tired. He didn't do himself any favors tonight.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: True Democrat on March 04, 2008, 11:49:36 PM Two things... first off, I think even most Democrats would admit that saying McCain wants to follow the same exact course as Bush is a blatant straw man... secondly, I am starting to realize that Obama always gives the same speech. Blah Blah Blah hope. Blah, Blah, Blah Change. Yeah. It includes a couple of parts where he goes "from _______ to _________" (citing two places or states). Then he cites a few stories. I mean, it's a good speech, but kind of empty. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: J. J. on March 04, 2008, 11:49:46 PM I almost always admire Obama's delivery but he does seem very nasty in his tone tonight. He looks like a guy who got a 3:00 AM Phone Call.

Blah Blah Blah hope. Blah, Blah, Blah Change. You just realized? I did when I saw that his great Iowa victory speech was the same thing as his 2004 DNC speech. Note that I do support Obama. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Gustaf on March 04, 2008, 11:50:41 PM Mediocre speech, but really horrible crowd reactions. What happened to the enthusiasm?
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: StateBoiler on March 04, 2008, 11:50:57 PM If you listen, this sounds more like a general election speech.

Still should had a few thousand votes for Clinton's lead. We really can't judge the race until the rest of Harris comes in. Oh, yes, it definitely will. But not a large amount, maybe five thousand net at most, probably a bit less. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Fmr. Pres.

i am seriously considering voting for hillary (and campaigning online and around where i live to my best ability) to spite all these ultraconservative fascists and hoping that mccain loses anyway so that they cant have their bush third term puppet Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Meeker on March 04, 2008, 11:54:02 PM So how 'bout that caucus?
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: True Democrat on March 04, 2008, 11:54:12 PM What the hell was the end of Obama's speech? I have no idea what he said at the end until he shouted "Yes We Can"
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Verily on March 04, 2008, 11:54:44 PM Tarrant County just dropped from 55% to 36% reporting...
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Gustaf on March 04, 2008, 11:55:09 PM It seems to me that Clinton managed to get a LOT out of this night. She's pulled Obama into exactly the kind of dirty, negative politics where she can probably beat him. He's beginning to sound defensive. Also, the news spin for her right now sounds incredible. There was an analyst on CNN just saying that the winner of PA will be the nominee! If he cannot pull out Texas Clinton may have a better chance than we thought.

That's what it seems you will be doing if you do that. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Flying Dog on March 04, 2008, 11:56:10 PM People are underestimating the power of Harris County. Obama has a 46,000 lead with 14% in.

Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: elcorazon on March 04, 2008, 11:58:53 PM while I agree obama's speeches are mostly the same. I'd argue that the same is true of most politicians, particularly during a campaign where the facts on the ground don't change regularly. Most people don't hear speech after speech anyway, so it's no surprise they'd keep using the parts that seem to be working. You usually change your speech when the results are bad.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Lief 🗽 on March 04, 2008, 11:59:09 PM McCain supporters making fun of Obama's speeches? Hahahaha.
Prelim TX delegate estimate from The Field: Obama +6 Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Gustaf on March 04, 2008, 11:59:53 PM Obama will not have such a lead if Clinton is crowned by the media.
Travis is up to 78%. I guess this will largely be Harris (14%) v El Paso (12%)? Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Meeker on March 05, 2008, 12:00:31 AM I guess this will largely be Harris (14%) v El Paso (12%)?

I do not see any Obama supporters or even undecided voters ever going for her.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on March 05, 2008, 12:01:45 AM Obama will not have such a lead if Clinton is crowned by the media. The media can't affect delegates already won. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Lief 🗽 on March 05, 2008, 12:01:54 AM Also Dallas. And Tarrant. And Jefferson.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: ag on March 05, 2008, 12:02:14 AM Obama will not have such a lead if Clinton is crowned by the media. Travis is up to 78%. I guess this will largely be Harris (14%) v El Paso (12%)? El Paso has been 28% for a while. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Verily on March 05, 2008, 12:02:26 AM More El Paso.
If it came down to Harris v El Paso, Harris wins huge. But there are plenty of other large counties with lots left to report. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: True Democrat on March 05, 2008, 12:02:30 AM Obama will not have such a lead if Clinton is crowned by the media. Travis is up to 78%. I guess this will largely be Harris (14%) v El Paso (12%)? El Paso is now at 28% However, Hidalgo and Cameron are still under 50%, so Clinton get add a few thousand votes to her lead from those two, along with San Antonio which is still only 55% in. However, Obama will get big numbers from Harris (14% in), Dallas (54%), and Tarrant (36%). It's going to be close, and at this point it's hard to predict. There's also a bunch of random smaller counties that haven't reported that could affect the results. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Sam Spade on March 05, 2008, 12:03:13 AM Folks, in these big counties, we have no idea where the votes are left to be counted. Harris County, for example, is so diverse, that future results could, quite frankly, be anything.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Verily on March 05, 2008, 12:04:09 AM Obama will not have such a lead if Clinton is crowned by the media. How will they give her delegates? She won't be within a hundred after today, and the two between now and PA are some of Obama's strongest: the blackest state and the least densely populated western state (a caucus). She can make up ground in PA. But twenty net delegates there is pretty generous, and Obama should manage that in just MS and WY. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Gustaf on March 05, 2008, 12:04:41 AM Yeah, I noted the El Paso bump just now.
While the media cannot alloted delegates they can affect the remaining races and superdelegates. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Sam Spade on March 05, 2008, 12:05:29 AM The white areas of Lucas County have finally reported to put Hillary back in front.
Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on March 05, 2008, 12:06:02 AM Yeah, I noted the El Paso bump just now. While the media cannot alloted delegates they can affect the remaining races and superdelegates. You said Obama won't have a lead after Pennsylvania if the media crowns Hillary. There's no way she can catch up between now and Pennsylvania. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: J. J. on March 05, 2008, 12:07:42 AM It seems to me that Clinton managed to get a LOT out of this night.

They can say it on the media, but the delegate numbers will not bear it out. They can't crown Clinton after winning PA if Obama leads by 100 delegates on April 23. No candidate can win without the Super Delegates. Obama's argument that he has the majority of the elected delegates is weak, because he's not counting those from FL/MI, that are elected (if too early, according to the rules). Now, he has one argument to convince the super delegates: He's more electable. The results of Hillary's McCain-like (and McCain-lite) campaign today cast a shadow over that. The fact that he close the deal, even though he outspent Hillary 3 to 1 casts a shadow over that. The reported, on MSNBC, that 25% of Hillary's supporters say that they will support McCain over Obama casts a cloud over that. This may come down to bare knuckle brawl in Denver. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: jesmo on March 05, 2008, 12:07:57 AM West Virginia and Pennslyvania are Hillary's ultimate firewalls.
Hopefully after those two, Obama can stay in Chicago forever. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Gustaf on March 05, 2008, 12:08:10 AM Yeah, I noted the El Paso bump just now. While the media cannot alloted delegates they can affect the remaining races and superdelegates. You said Obama won't have a lead after Pennsylvania if the media crowns Hillary. There's no way she can catch up between now and Pennsylvania. That's because super delegates would under that scenario flock to her. If he's forced out his delegate count may even drop to 0 :P But seriously politics has a lot to do with appearances, especially with all those super delegates holding the balance of power. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Verily on March 05, 2008, 12:09:18 AM The same numbers say that Obama supporters will back McCain, so I'm not sure how that argument works. Anyway, we'll see if the 50 extra supers Obama is rumored to have are true tomorrow.

You know you can keep copying and pasting the FL and MI crap all you like, it doesn't mean sh!t since the DNC doesn't agree with you. And it's pretty obvious why MI's delegates shouldn't count, even if you can make a case for FL.

You're missing the point. They can't crown a winner who trails, badly, in the pledged delegate count. And the superdelegates are not going to switch on "appearances"; they know enough of politics to understand that a lot of this is smoke and mirrors. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Sam Spade on March 05, 2008, 12:11:35 AM Folks, this race is far from over. Obama fumbled at the goal line yet again.
Let's face facts, this is the greatest primary ever. We're watching political history, just like we were at 2:00 AM Election night 2000. Enjoy it. I know this will be hard, but I am certainly do so.

Hate to tell you this BRTD, but the DNC can seat those delegates. It really depends on who has a bare majority on both the credentials committee and/or if Hillary (this time) can muster a majority of all delegates on the floor (not just the elected ones). :) The Democratic National Committee can even reverse the initial ruling.

There's no way she can catch up between now and Pennsylvania. That's because super delegates would under that scenario flock to her. If he's forced out his delegate count may even drop to 0 :P But seriously politics has a lot to do with appearances, especially with all those super delegates holding the balance of power. You're missing the point. They can't crown a winner who trails, badly, in the pledged delegate count. And the superdelegates are not going to switch on "appearances"; they know enough of politics to understand that a lot of this is smoke and mirrors. That's a whole other argument. Should I interpret your changing the argument as you agreeing with me on what I said? Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Keystone Phil on March 05, 2008, 12:16:49 AM Also the good streak for Hillary in the media likely ends tomorrow morning when the caucus comes in (then there's the rumor of Obama's fundraising + superdelegate bloc.) Yeah ok. Hillary's three state comeback > Texas caucus results Not necessarily in delegates... I still think the major story/headlines will be "Clinton Comeback."

Hate to tell you this BRTD, but the DNC can seat those delegates. It really depends on who has a bare majority on both the credentials committee and/or if Hillary (this time) can muster a majority of all delegates on the floor (not just the elected ones). :) The Democratic National Committee can even reverse the initial ruling. It becomes a matter or raw votes. Sure they can but they don't want to. And the math for Hillary to catch up in delegates not counting FL and MI is still quite daunting.

But I'm genuinely surprised by the media handling. It seems like Clinton is getting the opening she needed. Whether it's enough is another matter.

Apparently, she has some skills that Giuliani lacks. Ultimately, the demographics of Pennsylvania will decide the winner, although, realistically, I think the result there will be close, probably within five percentage points. If Obama can eek out a win in the Texas Primary, I think it'd be a huge boost. That way he can essentially claim a 50-50 split on March 4th.

Then it was revealed that Obama had won more delegates, and the narrative became that Nevada had been a tie, indecisive. I think that's exactly what's going to happen here; if Clinton gains net delegates at all, it will be five to ten at most, and I actually think Obama is more likely to win net delegates with these numbers (with the caucus caveat that we don't know anything yet).

Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: I spent the winter writing songs about getting better on March 05, 2008, 12:30:13 AM There is something else that is rarely mentioned about superdelegates, some of them are elected (sort of). Every state has at least one "add-on" which is elected either by the state convention or leadership of the state party. Since Obama dominates all caucuses he'll dominate all conventions and thus own the superdelegates elected at conventions. The ones elected by the state committees are trickier, so far two have been elected, one from Oklahoma (a former Edwards supporter now uncommitted) and one from Alabama (an Obama supporter.) These are basically immune to media spin and Obama is guaranteed at least half.

Seriously none of this is that big of a suprise, and to tell the truth I think it basically leaves almost everything unchanged. Clinton will have stopped Obama's momentum but that is basically it, I dont think she can reverse it at this point.
So tonight: Obama big win in Vermont and I am speculating but a 1-3% win in Texas after the counting in through (only in the primary of course) Clinton big win in Rhode Island and I am once again speculating but a moderate victory in Ohio perhaps 5-8% win In the end for the night maybe a small net gain for Obama and as such we go into the rest of March almost the same as we entered.

You are right and wrong. Both are important. Clinton has, of course, shown viability. She will go on - and rightly so. 2% swing in Texas, even if it weren't significant in delegates, and she'd be much closer to being out of the race. PV victory is important. Still, the delegate count is also hugely important: there is just too little left. In order to win the convention she'd have either to win with huge margins in remaining state races, or somehow pursuade the bulk of the remaining superdelegate to vote for her. There are just not enough of big states left, period. The laws of arithmetic are getting pretty bad for her. Still, today is, unquestionably, her day: she survived to give another fight. She is still a heavy underdog, though. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Sam Spade on March 05, 2008, 01:09:05 AM What is "pulling a Henry Cuellar"?

The caucuses were at the same location as the polling places (which is not necessarily the same for both parties). Early voting was at centralized locations. For example, Harris County had 36 early voting locations, and you can vote at any one. On election day, you have to vote in your election precinct's polling place. There are 874 precincts, though there were only about 400 polling places for each party.

Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: J. J. on March 05, 2008, 01:42:56 AM Obama's not going to drop out as long as he has a delegate lead. That'd be just ridiculous. It might be a situation where, in July, Obama is told, "You have a majority of the elected delegates, but to keep that you'll have to disenfranchise FL and MI, if full view of the television cameras, in August." Even if he wins, he loses. Obama needs to get a 110 to 165 lead of elected delegates. He can still do it, but it will be a long fight. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: J.

PA is not Obama territory. I think you're missing Chaka Fattah's CD. Aren't most of the whites in Brady's CD ethnics? And isn't there a decent Puerto Rican population in Brady's CD too? Brady's CD has 9 delegates, Fattah's, the really big African American District, has 7. I can actually see Clinton taking some of the 5 seat districts strongly enough to get 4 delegates.

Current: Clinton 64 : Obama 62 In 4 delegate districts, a candidate needs 62.5% of the two-candidate total to get a 3:1 split. SD 3 (East Texas) Clinton at 62.78% with 84% reported. SD 15 (Northish Houston) Obama at 63.23% with 99.4% SD 19 (S, W, and N SA and points west to El Paso) Clinton at 62.51% with 73% reported. SD 26 (C San Antonio) Clinton at 62.26% with 75% reported (SoS just flipped this to a 2:2 split) And then there is a 6-delegate district in S Dallas, where 75% will give the leader 5 delegates: SD 23 (S Dallas) Obama at 73.98% with 47% reported.

In Ohio the main areas to look out for should, stress "should", be the more urban of the various traditional industrial areas (this is not the same thing as areas with the highest percentage of manufacturing jobs. Just thought I'd point that out). Not so much for who wins, but by how much. The rural areas don't matter, Columbus doesn't matter (much), the Southeast of the state (especially) doesn't matter. What matters is the margins (in raw votes as much as percentages) in the sort of areas mentioned above.

I think that is a lot of it. Obama, to be solid with elected delegates, just to claim a legitimate lead there over Clinton, needs a 110 margin of elected delegates exclusive of FL/MI. Depending on the count used, he has between 130 (CNN) and 53 (Greenpapers). By May 1, I predict all legitimate counts will put him below 110. Obama's last chance might to win elected delegates exclusive of FL/MI by that 110 margin, very well be NC, IN, and KY. He doesn't, the whole elected delegates argument collapses. Either candidate basically becomes the nominee because of the super delegates. It is not a good situation for either candidate.

Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Alcon on March 05, 2008, 04:09:33 PM My extrapolation from the repored Senate districts results in:
Obama 53,605 (55%) Clinton 44,089 (45%) Uncommitted 103 Other 9 Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: jimrtex on March 05, 2008, 07:03:19 PM My extrapolation from the repored Senate districts results in: Obama 53,605 (55%) Clinton 44,089 (45%) Uncommitted 103 Other 9 Each election precinct was entitled to 1 county delegate for each 15 votes for the Democratic gubernatorial candidate in 2006 (Chris Bell). So that the sum of the delegates in the left column is the total number of county delegates (88,074). To get the projected number of county delegates for each candidate for each senate district, you should take the current known delegate totals in the district, and project those over the total number of county delegates for each senate district. The percentage of precincts reporting is meaningless, expect perhaps as an indication of distributional bias - if you have relative more small precincts reporting, then the percentage of small precincts reporting will be higher than the percentage of delegates selected. For example, SD 1 has 2665 county delegates. Currently there are 474 Obamaniacs and 324 Clintonians, and 1 uncommitted (799 total). So the projected number of Obamaniacs for SD 1 is (2665*474/799) or 1580, and 1080 Clintonians. Based on that method, I get a 59-41% statewide split, assuming that the distribution of county delegates within each SD does not change. At the county conventions, state delegates will be chosen - but they will be chosen by election precinct or groups of election precincts, with one state delegate for each 180 Bell votes fractions truncated. The allocation of state delegates will be based on the sign-in vote at the precinct conventions. So the state delegates should be roughly proportional to the county delegates - subject to some pretty severe truncation errors. If I understand the allocation of delegates for precincts, then in Harris County, 1 precinct will have 6 state delegates, 1 will hav 5, 5 will have 4, 34 will have 3, 125 will have 2, 202 will have 1, and the remaining precincts will share 391 delegates. Delegates to the national convention will be based on shares of delegates at the state convention. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: Alcon on March 05, 2008, 07:24:32 PM I just extrapolated the given SD counts based on the % reporting.

Updated results: Obama 48,718 delegates, 55.3%, 37 national delegates. Clinton 39,261 delegates, 44.6%, 30 national delegates. Results are coming in very slow, maybe 0-5 precincts per SD over 3 hours. And in a few cases there were decreases in the number of precincts reported. Title: Re: Official March 4th Results Discussion Topic Post by: 12th Doctor on March 07, 2008, 05:45:28 PM My current delegate projection by the way are Obama +6 in Wyoming, Obama +9 in Mississippi and Hillary +9 in Pennsylvania. If Clinton wins Pennsylvania by 9 points, this probably is going to the convention after all. She's winning PA by at least nine. I agree, and your governor is behind her too. All the polls I have seen recently have her way out ahead. I don't expect that to change either. The Democrat electorate in PA are the kind of old school grizzled types who don't know the New Deal Coalition died 20 years ago (at least). They'll come out for Hillary in droves. Plus with the Rendell turnout machine on her side, she can't lose. Even after all of this Hillary is still gonna win... unless she get blown out everywhere else, which I doubt. Obama has no clue how to engage in the kinda backdoor, cloak and dagger stuff that is going to happen before the convention... the Clinton's are Hall-of-Famers. And if Obama hires that people he will need to take out Clinton, then it will irreparably tar his image. He can't win.
