Mayor of Gary, Indiana Predicts Possible Obama Upset

posted by on May 6 at 20:45 PM

Via The Washington Post:

As the fate of a nailbiter Indiana primary — and possibly the course of the Democratic race — hung on his city, Gary Mayor Rudy Clay said just now that it might take a while yet to finish counting the vote in Lake County, which includes Gary, and said tonight his city had turned out so overwhelmingly for Barack Obama that it might just be enough to close the gap with Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Let me tell you, when all the votes are counted, when Gary comes in, I think you’re looking at something for the world to see,” Clay, an Obama supporter, said in a telephone interview from Obama’s Gary headquarters. “I don’t know what the numbers are yet, but Gary has absolutely produced in large numbers for Obama here.”

I'm curious to know why all the drama about winning the state, or not, when it's the delegates that count.

This is the type of petty, meaningless, bullshit politics that Clinton supporters are going to remember come November. Thanks Mayor Douchebag for doing your tiny bit to ensure a McCain presidency.

Too bad it finished 51-49, not that it makes that much difference in terms of deligates. I was hoping for news this morning that Hillary would withdraw from the race. She is going to kill the party!
