so, what does everyone think of Hillary now? did she win those states by herself or something else? I heard Limbaugh told his faithful flock to vote for her because she'd be easier to beat than Obama. What a turd. im sorry, but I just hate that guy. I do like Hillary, btw.

I still love Hillary!
  
The repubs are up to something...
By Deb Wiliams Mar 5th 2008 at 4:12 pm EST
because they are awful quiet on Hillary. If you check out Fox News on cable, they are singing her praises, which is well, scarey. Do they really dislike McCain that much? I just don't trust it.

Same thing on MSNBC this morning, Morning Joe perdicted Hillary's win's yesterday and took some heat for it. Well, he got to say nanna nanna boo boo this morning. And Hillary ask him to be her VP. Just feel the love!

They had Barack on just before Hillary and seemed very disinterested in what he was saying, he even cut him off. Barack looks pretty pissed the last 4 days and I have a feeling it isn't going to get any better for him.
  
Limbaugh Read It Here First
By c frederick Mar 5th 2008 at 4:14 pm EST
There have been posts dating back several weeks on this site revealing that republicans were already voting for Obama.

We'll never know how many republicans voted or for who. What we do know is that black turnout was no heavier than usual and that Hispanic vote was out in record numbers.

Odds are, Limbaugh may only have divided the republican votes equally between the two dems.

@c.frederick

Can you provide a poll that proves that Black voting turnout has not increased?
  
yes!!
By connie Mar 5th 2008 at 4:16 pm EST
They hate McCain, just as we hate Liebermann, is that hard to believe. When she was in the senate they realized she is easy to work with and listens to everyone. She is the best candidate!!

she won those states
By ihaveavoice Mar 5th 2008 at 4:19 pm EST
by directing a little critism Obama's way. He outspent her, bussed in thousands of people, and they again pulled all kinds of tricks in the caucuses and she still won.

He is even blaming the critism she cast on him, if just the little bit she managed to get in the press and ads gave her double digit leads in Ohio, I can only imagine what will happen when the full republican party unleashes all their resources on him.

I've said it a thousand times, the press is doing him no favors by playing softball with him.

Pa does not have caucuses and does not allow the republicans to vote in the dem primary. If she wins that I think we all have to look at which states he won- only those with caucuses or those that allowed the republicans to vote in the primaries- those are the bulk of his wins where the other party can manipulate the outcome. We have to take a long look at that and who will carry the hard fought states in Nov. Like Ohio and Fla.

the only thing you are leaving out is that in the General Election in November, *everybody* votes for whoever they want, not just democrats.

Just because a candidate wins amongst dems (and make no mistake, Hillary is still behind) does not mean they will win in the general.

hence, the superdelegate.
  
One thing we can agree on
By Barb Mar 5th 2008 at 4:22 pm EST
Hopefully, as a result of this election, that Rush Limbaugh may become as "irrelevant" as George W. Bush.
  
If you are unfamiliar with political protocol, and
By Vidya Mar 5th 2008 at 4:36 pm EST
you feel this way. Rest assured the stakes where politics are concerned are always high. If you think Obama is an angel think again. Speaking from experience he makes Clintons seem like solid integrity, expertise and diplomacy, by comparrison.

I am sorry you hate them so much, but if you want a
a dem in the white house, instead of another repo you will
need to place your bets on her, because she is a sure thing.

She has outgrown her mistakes and learned from them. Her
nose is currently clean as a whistle, none of this can be said for Obama at this point. He is green, and the reposwill chew him up and spit him out before their evening Pinot Noir. The dems do not want that to happen, nor do they want see him damaged like that, we all like him. We all have "hopes for him", in 2016. This is the best way to insure that the next 16 years will be blue.

Hillary will make the country whole, inclusive and proud.

why hillary won those states
By D. Tree Mar 5th 2008 at 5:39 pm EST
its not so much because she was able to build herself up, but more about how she was able to tear Obama down.

and of course Rush Limbaugh telling his loyal minions to vote for her might have helped, but the effect would be very minor. why? because hate radio is better at tearing down people than at building them up... turns out that GOP crossovers mostly split between Hill and Barack (with only slightly more voting for her than for him).
