huffingtonpost.com     May 20, 2008            

I understood his panic. Barack Obama won primaries in Maine, Delaware, Vermont, Wisconsin, Alaska and Utah. Yes, the Hillary Clinton campaign proudly trumpeted her swamping victory in West Virginia as "proof" of her electability, but to be fair, consider the times she was swamped: In Alaska,...

It’s not racist to oppose Obama

desmoinesregister.com     May 20, 2008          

How long are the media going to wait until calling out blacks in Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Indiana for their racism? In Indiana, more than 90 percent of blacks voted for Barack Obama; in North Carolina, over 93 percent. In Pennsylvania, he got 92 percent of the black vote. I'm tired of...

Gene Lyons calls bullshit on Obama's race-boating

correntewire.com     May 20, 2008          

You remember Gene Lyons, right? For those who came in late, he was one of the very few voices of sanity in our famously free press when the VRWC was ginning up Whitewater, and working up to their failed attempt to impeach Clinton.* (See his book, Fools for Scandal, and The Hunting of the...

KY/OR/Obama self-coronation thread #1

correntewire.com     May 20, 2008          

Apparently, Obama’s made-for-TV self-coronation spectacular is on. He’ll be flying back to Iowa, first victory, means a lot, hunky bused-in Abercrombie & Fitch guys, yadda yadda yadda, to surround himself with appropriate trappings of splendor and triumphalism for a metric, “majority of the...

Yes We Will Vote For Obama, Please

seattlest.com     May 20, 2008          

With Oregon and Kentucky going to the polls today, Obama ready to take over an even clearer lead in pledged delegates, and Hillary poised to trounce him in whiteland, there's a lot of discussion on the interwebs about whether or not Hillary's supporters will get behind Obama when it's all said...

Last Minute Voters Like Obama Most

portlandmercury.com     May 21, 2008          

Portland's last minute voters seem largely interested in the presidential and occasionally, mayoral elections, judging from the highly scientific straw poll of ten voters I've just done outside the elections office at SE 11th and Morrison. It's time to MEET...

Schneider: Obama not a satisfying choice for KY Democrats

cnn.com     May 21, 2008          

— In another sign of the challenge facing Obama among Democratic voters in blue-collar states like Kentucky, only 41 percent of them there said they would be satisfied if he wins the party's nomination. Among Clinton supporters, the number is even more daunting for Obama: Only 33 percent said...

Another crushing defeat for Obama

eclipseweb.blogspot.com     May 21, 2008          

Hillary Rodham Clinton crushed her democrat rival Barak Hussein Obama in Kentucky. Currently, it is reported as a 36 point lead for HRC (67% to 31%). This is on the heels of her 41 point defeat of Obama in West Virginia. Hillary followed up with speech saying she is going to take this to the...

Obama and Whites and Women

eteraz.wordpress.com     May 21, 2008          

This chart is pretty revealing in that Obama has won 3 out of the 5 and 6 out of the 10 “whitest” states. If you include hispanics whites, then Obama has won 8 out of those 10. Yet apparently according to the media white people won’t vote for him. According to Gallup he’s also pulled ahead of [...]

Should Obama Have Played In Kentucky?

tnr.com     May 21, 2008          

Obviously, he never had a real shot of winning. But, if you go by pure demographics, he certainly should have come a lot closer than he did. Obama lost college grads by a whopping 56-40 margin, for example, a group he normally carries. The regression model over at FiveThirtyEight projected a...
