Mini Super-Duper-Ooper-Tuesday results

You know. It's almost becoming too easy to mock media prognosticators.

Now that Hillary is ahead in Ohio and Rhode Island and (at the moment) Texas you have to marvel at the narrative being put out now.

Hillary is a fighter. She's beating all the odds. She has resurrected her campaign. "Yes She Will!!!"

Yada, yada, yada. Blah, blah, blah. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

If anyone thought the Clinton campaign would be going down without a fight to a two-year-state-legislator-turned-U.S.-senator you were sadly mistaken and probably forgot the lessons of the 1990s.

What will be interesting is whether we'll ever find out how many Republicans voted Hillary during these primaries. Because her stances on several issues are obviously so attractive to GOP minded voters...

Earlier: Oh the excitement of it all.

Barack Hussein Obama is beating Hillary Rodham Clinton in Vermont; polling in the high 50s.

John Sidney McCain III is securing about 70 percent of the Republican vote, outpacing Michael Dale Huckabee who is drawing around 15 percent.

Update: Looks like Hillary has the edge in Ohio at the moment and Obama's got the leg up with preliminary results in from Texas.

Seems pretty safe that there will be no definative results tonight which will drastically change the make up of the Democratic presidential race.

Developing...

1. It's Hillary Dianne Clinton (nee Rodham.)

Rodham's her maiden name, not her middle name.

Details matter if you're trying to play the name game, Don Muhammad Scary-brown-man Ward.

4. It appears Obama's attorneys were poised to strike and extend voting hours in certain Ohio precincts. Could it be Obama has been a aspiring student of the Clinton machine? And will Bill and Hillary acknowledge passing the baton of voter corruption to the next incarnation? Where is Ron Simms when you need him?

5. Looks like Senator McCain will top that magical 50% mark tonight.

In several states.

6. Who can keep track of Hillary's names. Hillary Rodham (just after the marriage), Mrs. Clinton (after Bill lost an election in Arkansas), Hillary Rodham Clinton (white house days), then back to just Hillary Clinton when she started running for pres. She's literally redone her stationary 3 times.

She's been thru more changes than the late, great Buddy Miles.

7. If Hillary gets the nomination, you guys have your best chance of winning. But it sure ain't in the bag. The Republicans are about as popular as fire ants at a pic-nic these days.

8. What's all the bruha over a middle name?
So what - big freeking deal.

9. @ 7 - I feel pretty good about McCain's chances against either of the two Democratic nominees at this point.

Billary Clinton has plenty of baggage leftover from her husband's administration and Clinton fatigue syndrome has set in for all concerned whether Republicans, Democrats or Independents.

Meanwhile, Barack Obama is still getting the "new puppy" treatment from both the media and voter's alike, who've chosen to follow him around like giggling school girls that look on in adoration when he piddles on the carpet with a verbal sigh of "awwww, isn't that cute?"...unfortunately for Obama, this fixation is fleeting and he will, at some point, have to reveal his political positions and actually defend them on their merits.

That leaves John Sidney McCain who, while not my 1st,2nd,3rd,or 4th choice, is the Republican nominee and will do less harm than the two lessors he's running against. SCOTUS appointment's are too important to sit out this election because he isn't "Conservative enough".

10. I love the obsession about Obama's middle name. The same as Jesus' middle name.

11. It appears that the GOP contest is over. I started out as a Thompson supporter. When he got little traction and dropped out, I moved to a next candidate named Romney who I had much less confidence in but still understood had the same message. He dropped out 2 days before the GOP caucus leaving me to declare as undeclared while I regrouped. At the primary I checked off Huckabee who I at least understood understood had a better of standard of economics.

Now it's time to rally about McCain and hope that his economics advisors of Forbes and Kemp will offset that issue. The alternative of Clinton or Obama will make the Carter administration made the 30's look like prosperity.

12. HappyHeathen,

And exactly what do you think that Jesus's middle name is? Hussein?

Posted by: RBW on March 4, 2008 08:21 PM
13. We all know Jesus' middle name is Horatio. Now back on topic.

14. ROTFLMAO because it was Republican crossovers who wanted to see the slugfest continue between Punch and Judy that have made this possible.

How many hours of televised debate can they have for another month and still manage to not talk about a single issue?

15. Good idea Don.
