Obama Spin

posted by on February 5 at 18:54 PM

Ben Smith sees the same thing I’m seeing: Not much real-time spin from the Obama camp tonight. However, his colleague Carrie Budoff Brown talked to some Obama aides and got this spin out of them:

— They are winning states by a dominant amount and losing by smaller margins.

— Wait for the caucus states - their organization is better there.

— She should be winning her home state by more. The margin is comparable to her margin in Michigan.

she is also overwhelmingly winning the hispanic vote. that's huge. it's like 2-1 in most states and 3-1 in others. that could be huge in cali.

obama can spin it any way he wants, he's still losing states.

You're an idiot. The only guy who's done today is Romney.

Obama better take the VP - beggars can't be choosey.

CLINTON IS A MACHINE, give it up Barak.

You're a twat, Andy. It's tied tonight. My calculator has them dead even tonight, 469 delegates each.

Fnarf is right.

Even CNN is admitting that at 11:45 PM PST.

Big story is massive Dem:GOP turnout on a 2:1 ration nationwide.

Wouldn't want to be a Republicant this year - gonna be HARSH.
