I don’t think I’ve seen such a vicious, heated battle, since the Red Sox vs. Yankees game I went to in New York City at Yankees Stadium in 2001. It wasn’t so much the battle between the teams, but more the battle between the fans.
Seems to be the same way with the battle between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. While both have taken shots at each other, its their supporters who appear to be the most emotional. When the Democratic Committee deciding to seat the delegates from Michigan and Florida at half-weight, the Clinton supporters were outraged.
On the flip-side, its the Obama supporters, or the Clinton detractors, who keep claiming her campaign as over, while she keeps denying it.
Obviously, the Democratic Party is having issues figuring out who to support. How will this affect the race for office in November?
Also note, there have been a bunch of comments on this blog about Barack Obama’s past, his faith, etc., and I just want to remind our readers that we’re not responsible for the opinions and beliefs of others, and do our best to publish what we can, without offending anyone too greatly.
Maybe not so “super” for Clinton, but for Obama, yes. The news keeps trickling out about more super-delegates announcing their support for Obama, and even renouncing their support for Clinton and changing their tune to support Obama.
The naysayers about Clinton are turning out to be accurate in their predictions so far. It would take a total disaster / fiasco to stop the Obama train from going all the way to nomination.
The big news tonight is Hillary’s lead in the Pennsylvania primary, but the more important factor is by how much. The news doesn’t come as too much of a surprise, but the critical component is whether she won by enough to sway the tide of their party to choose a candidate.
Oh magic eight ball - “outlook not so clear”?
They could make a movie out of this!

Here we are on the day before the big primaries - does everyone know know who they are voting for?
And while I’m asking questions, I was wondering if registered independent voters (like myself) are able to vote in the primaries for either, both, or no party candidates?
Both Rudy Giuliani and John Edwards have announced the end of their run for president. I was surprised to learn that Giuliani fared so poorly in Florida even though he put so much effort into campaigning there. I read that Rudy is now backing McCain, so it looks like McCain is going to continue doing well. Personally, I like what I know about McCain, but that isn’t saying much.
Some news agencies are implying that John Edwards’ campaign focus on poverty shows that the American public doesn’t care about the state of poverty in our nation, but I think its a bit of a stretch the draw that conclusion.
I haven’t heard much from or about Huckabee or Dr. Ron Paul lately, but I did notice that Dennis Kucinich has also dropped out of the race.
The results are still coming in, but so far it appears that Senators McCain and Clinton, with Senator Obama and former Governor Romney following closely.
I’m surprised that Ron Paul didn’t fare better in New Hampshire. The stories about the voters in New Hampshire always describe them as independent thinkers, which I interpreted to mean that they would respond well to a unique candidate like Dr. Paul.
What a mess! Someone (Leeland Eisenberg) walked into the Clinton campaign offices in New Hampshire today with a bomb strapped to their chest. Thankfully, it appears that no one was hurt in the escapade, and that the hostage taker was arrested.
News reports are saying that Hilary was not present at the offices in New Hampshire. Even if Hilary Clinton was in the office, I’m really confused as to what the point of the threat was.
