Whatever it takes to get McCain out of the race is, in my opinion, for the greater good. No one wants to wish anyone harm, but the man won’t get out any other way.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

With less than 1% reporting (per Fox News), over 730K votes have been counted for the Dems in TX. HOW is this accurate?

My guess is that early voting and absentee votes have been counted and released. Just a guess.

Re: Rainier?

There was a naming controversy with Mount Rainier: "Captain George Vancouver reached Puget Sound in 1792 and became the first European to see the mountain. He named it in honour of his friend, Rear Admiral Peter Rainier."

One humorous part says: "After Rainier Brewing Company resumed producing "Rainier Beer" after the end of Prohibition and its advertisements became ubiquitous in the Seattle-Tacoma area, a rumor began circulating that the brewery's owner, Emil Sick, had bribed a Washington state committee with free beer to promote the name "Rainier". This, however, is an urban legend and can still be heard today among Tacoma residents who preferred the alternate name (Mount Tacoma). Sick did, however, purchase the local baseball team and renamed them to be the Seattle Rainiers for this purpose."

Still, many on Jaywalking think they named it Mount Rainier... after Princess Grace Kelly's main squeeze.

Let’s just say DU is not pleased.

[StarFan]

Conservative estimate by Chuck Todd on MSNBC — if Texas is as close as it appears Obama can lose by a few votes but the delegate allocation favors him in all respects. The results of the caucus may not be known until this weekend? Good grief.

[Tuxedo]

That is likely the early voting dump.

'Let’s just say DU is not pleased"

About what?

[mylife]

Let’s just say DU is not pleased.

That makes me happy

". Either did I. Not really. I had heard the name back when Kennedy and Camelot were king. But I had no clue it was a freakin’ monkey." For crying out loud! Did nobody ever watch Captain Kangaroo when they were kids? He only read those books once a week to us. Heck next someone will try to tell me they never heard of Clutch Cargo.

“Are you saying Rush doesn’t understand politics, or do you think Rush is a liberal?
Rush is correct and Hildabeast needs to win tonight IMHO.”

I’m saying Rush is an entertainer...he does radio, not politics. He’s done alot for the conservative movement. But he was dead wrong.
His move here was that of a total moron. We had the witch killed - and now she lives. She will win the nomination if she wins Texas. Watch and learn.

Re: I’d like to see a list of the 50 highest peaks.

Well, go to 100 Highest Mountain peaks of the United States... and only read the first fifty.

[mainepatsfan]

It’s great when moonbats are miserable (well more miserable than usual that is).

[Williams]

Well she knows where she can schtick it. I wouldnt spit on her books much less buy them now. I’m sure they will sell well with democrats soon, they will hail her as a hero now that she is supporting Hilary.

[mimaw]

I don’t think Rush will even vote for McCain. Rush wants a wipe out to teach the republican party a lesson. All you Hillary voters helped him out. He’ll claim victory.

[BigEdLB]

Looks like it...
