Barack Obama has won the Connecticut Democrat primary, says Fox News.
Wow, Shillery is getting hammered... but “wins” and “losses” mean nothing at this point, only the delegate count.
Huge defeat for Hillary! She shouldn’t have lost any of the Northeastern States.
This is absolutely crushing to her campaign. I am amazed at how CNN is spinning this as an OK night for Hillary! Obama is crushing her.
Holy crap - this has gotta hurt the Beast ...
Well, Ned Lamont won here...
We don’t need a THIRD PARTY we already have TWO third rate parties.
We need a FIRST CLASS PARTY - let’s go for broke & start a
FREEDOM FIRST PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(and a loss for Chelsea Clinton, who also campaigned in New Haven)
Actually, they mean quite a bit at this point because of influence on the states to come. The sheeple like to cast a vote for a "winner", without much thought involved. If Obama comes out well in a surprising number of states, he has a definite advantage. None of the dem primaries are 'winner take all'.
Isn’t Connecticut all white? Where’s Bill’s racist Democrat vote when Hill needs it?
I despise Hillary, Bill & Kerry. However, I heard Bob Beckle lamenting the fact the Bill left the hospital after coronary bypass surgery in order to campaign for Kerry. Now Kerry endorses Obama. It is all ugly.
An Obama victory is going to be devastating to the War on Terrorism.
God Help Us All
this is not a surprise here in CT. Every teacher at my kid's school has an Obama sticker. Ned Lamont ring a bell? Tons of wacko liberals in CT. New Haven and Bridgeport mayors both endorsed him too, along with almost the whole Congressional delegation (DeLauro, Smith).
Do you think Obama is unbeatable in the general?
The two parties face similar circumstances. If McCain wins, the conservatives aren’t going to forgive-and-forget and WILL refuse to vote for him. Conversely, if Romney somehow pulls it out, the mindless followers of the Annointed One will stay at home and eat strawberries before they’ll pull the lever for Romney.
On the other side, of course, If Obama loses, there’s a good chance his followers are going to take it personally, and not vote for The Beast. If Obama wins, The Beast’s soul-less followers will probably jump ship and vote for him, since they have no morals or honor to begin with.
All in all, I’d say the RATS are in better shape than we are.
“Do you think Obama is unbeatable in the general?”
Not against who the republicans have running (look to win). Any way you slice it the republicans lose in November.
The largest cities are almost all hispanic or Black with only 5 or 6 cities mostly white
Big “ouch” for the Countess von Wrinkula.
I believe that for many Americans today diversity and egalitarianism are much more important that liberty and freedom.
In the near future Americans won't need to be enslaved, they will have enslaved themselves.
