If it wasn’t for the mess that is the GOP tonight, I would be enjoying this smackdown of the Clintons a lot more. Still, there is some hope that California and some of the western states will keep Romney in the race. But I’m less optimistic than I was a couple of hours ago.

Wow. That’s astounding. Good for him.

Being a native, and 5th generation Alabamian with relatives who fought for both sides in the Civil War....I would have never ever ever believed it in a million years.

The south has come a long way.

Too little.

Its Clinton vs McCain.

Clinton wins. She strips the military.

The USA becomes a full-blown welfare state and anyone in the $200K-$500K income bracket will get fleeced.

China will invade Taiwan. USA too weak to stand up.

We will be lucky if China doesn’t launch missles against us.

I’m afraid it is not looking all that good for Mitt. The country appears to be drifting even further to the left. McQueeg is all to willing to cut a deal with the dimocRATS. I just fear for our country.

Not surprising at all. Alabama is predominantly Republican, and therefore voted in the Republican Primary. Those who are not Republican are black. Obama will not win Alabama in the fall.

The income level included in the fleecing bracket will be much lower than that. Look at the income level where the tax rebate phases out!

Another word warper.

You know, it kind of bugs me, the verb “carry” in this context. That party has a way of picking up delegates for disastorus candidates, who then carry the state and thrown it off a cliff. Kind of like boulder-throwing IMO.

Those who are not Republican are black. Obama will not win Alabama in the fall.

Not so in L.A. (Lower Alabama). That's primarily your hard core yellow dogs. The concentrations of black Dems are B'ham and to a much lesser degree Montgomery, and then that's it. The rural are ALL yellow dog. Lord, I have no idea why, but that's just the way it is and has always been.
