5:07 p.m. Clinton spin (slightly ahead of the call in Tennessee):
We’re very excited by our strong victories in Oklahoma and Tennessee.These are the first two states where both candidates competed fiercely.
For months, the Obama campaign has been spinning that they have a monopoly on red states; tonight we showed that they don’t.
With these first two victories, Hillary Clinton has demonstrated that she can compete and win in red states.
looks like clinton is sweeping up in new jersey too. and is wolf blitzer not the most terrible anchor ever? breathless, frantic and monotonous all at the same time.
CNN retracted the OK call for Clinton
The nytimes has called GA for Obama with 5% reporting. HOw the fuck does that work?
Okla & Tenn (combined) have nowhere near the population of Ga.
@4 retranslated:
"neener, neener, neener."
To which I reply: "neener neener encore!"
quick check, winning in red states among democratic voters means one can win the general vote in red states?
@3 - Obama must have trounced so hard in the exit polling that their statisticians are prepared to call it with high probability.
They called GA for Obama with ZERO percent reporting, Mickey in AR. It's based on exit polling. Exit polls aren't perfect, and they won't call it if it's close, but if it's a blowout, and agrees with what they were expecting, they will.
@3
Exit polling. Actually, they called it with 0% reporting.
@5: Oh, nice. I was just responding to the Clinton camp spin. I'm not going to get into nasty, petty games with anyone. Facts are facts. She will win the big states. It wasn't necessary for the spin they put on those two states. btw, I'm an Indie for McCain.
my point is this is how we ended up W. in 2000. lets not count our chickens before they hatch.
breaking news -- Del., the "First State," for McCain.
[@10 rejoices]
The awesome thing about the Republicans is that they are all running for last place. It's a perfect triangle of fail.
#12: Yup, he's going to rake 'em in. Nervous about Cali tho.
ha--richardson grew a goatee since dropping out. and wolf blitzer says "preject." drives me nuts. go hillary!
Pulling a Gore? Loss ==> beard ==> recognition ==> Nobel Prize!
# 10 --"Indie for McCain" - question for you and your grampa fixation - who do we nuke first in the neo con McCain presidential world? Moscow? Teran?
Just curious. You do perceive, he is a warmonger.
Oh Mary, he's just like Hillary as far as being a warmonger. But at least he will cut spending and taxes. I'm so glad to see you respect your elders.
CNN calls CT for Obama. w00t!
Wolf Blitzer in 'Natursekt I, II und III!' C'mon, I'm telling you, it's the perfect name for a gay German porn star.
As revenge for the rest of the country hating their cheating, choking Patriots, MA is trying to unleash Mitt Romney on the U.S.....LOSERS! go cry in your Chowdah.....Romney will LOSE just like your Patriots
