Can't fund her own campaign.....so, what's gonna happen with the economy IF she is in control?

Oh, i dunno, maybe we could get another 90's style growing economy with balanced budgets? Most politicians fund their campaigns with borrowed money or donations. You know that. Your starting to sound like someone who has no favorite but damns them all. Is anyone running good enough?

I support the candidate who will generate enthusiasm which in turn will benefit America's psyche and lift the spirit and the economy. It's not an obligation as the Billary Royalty Machine would have you feel. I will not be choosing between the lessor of two evils.

Sounds like a personal problem. Interesting to see that both ends of the spectrum are willing to sit it out rather than choose between the lesser of two evils, meaning of course they are willing to allow the greater of the two evils to be their country's leader. Hillary is not my choice but given a choice between her history and McCain's, I will make a choice.

Obama is up to 7 million now.

And 5 million loan = at some point she is going to give up and repay herself with somebody's donations.

IMO... $5 mil loan = BIG PUBLICITY STUNT

Watch for the manipulation of media stories (by the Clinton campaign) in the next few days-- we're the underdog, send $$$ to "poor" Hillary, etc.... while Terry McAuliffe laughs all the way to the bank...

Washington's female governor just endorsed Obama... it'll be interesting to see if their caucuses are more like Nevada's or Colorado's...

Nevada is nothing like Washington state.  Part of what helped Clinton in Nevada is the large Hispanic population.  The Clintons have rightfully earned a lot of loyalty among the Hispanic population from Bill's presidency.  Obama is starting to get more support, but this go around the number of Hispanics is much, much lower.  In fact, Clinton herself is not putting in much effort in the next round of states, saving instead for Texas, Ohio & Pennsylvania.

Looks like we are in a photo finish that will last months. It will not be determined by delegates as the race will be too damn close to give any one person the necesary threshold to gain the nomination.

Some may attempt to caucus Michigan and Florida but that decision lies with the three co-chairs of the DNC Credentials Committee: Alexis Herman, James Roosevelt, Jr. and Aliseo Roques-Arroyo. All three of them served in the Clinton Administration.

This may well be a very historic Michigan/Florida decision on allocation of delegates...

Looks like Obama got all three today.  Caucuses easily went his way--he did better with these than on Super Tuesday.  While Clinton has done well in the coastal/big states, Obama is certainly showing that he can pull in people from accross the country.

I loved his line in tonight's speech.

"We won in the west coast, we won in the gulf coast and we won in between."

[USRufnex]

I heard the entire speech, and heard all sorts of inspiring quotes... don't remember thinking anything at all about the quote above... methinks Obama knows his geography...

Colorado, Minnesota.... Washington, Nebraska...

Oh, and here's the actual quote:  "Today, voters from the West Coast to the Gulf Coast to the heart of America stood up to say 'yes we can'" ... "We won in Louisiana, we won in Nebraska, we won in Washington state, we won North, we won South, we won in between, and I believe that we can win Virginia on Tuesday if you're ready to stand for change,"

Keep spinnin' for Hillary, RM.  []

[RecycleMichael]

I misquoted him...I typed it about two minutes after he said it...You had the luxury of looking it up.

I meant it as a compliment to Obama.

I wasn't spinning that for Hillary. Yes, I voted for Hillary, but I really like Obama.

I even like Bama pies because they are spelled kinda like him...we should start an Obama pie...

Them Clintonites are gonna have a hard time getting over this wall! The Superdeli's are gonna look like fools if they fail to pick Barack Obama now. The tide turned tonight. History made!
