The Trail: A Daily Diary of Campaign 2008

So when did you stop capitalizing Hussein? And do you think that, having posted a thousand times capitalizing it, that now putting it in proper casing is being, I don't know, subtle?

Come on. You're capable of better. Why not stretch yourself and criticize his ideas or policies or something like that? Too much work?

I know, I know: it's his real middle name and there's nothing wrong with writing it even though you've now stopped the silly pretense of capitalizing everyone else's middle name as well, yada yada yada . . .

Thats a good one...pick the old guy with 9000 primary votes, and dump the Ho with 18,000,000!

Go OBAMA!! Go away Clintons!

You go Girl!!!!!!

McCain is still below 400,000 at http://www.bop-o-rama.com

ok look for all u ppl out here tlkin all this about obama. he is goin to win no matter wat u think. he cant have another 4 yrs of bush an that is wat will happen if mccain is elected. but either way u look at it this election will be based on race for sure nd obama is the medias favorate so he will win an he knows wat he is doin. but quite frankly in my opinion it doesnt really matter who is elected because they r both capable of being president. so whoever wins i dont think it will matter because we will still stay in the same whole we r in now.

Goodbye Pumas!

All this drama is so overrated. It is not like Hillary Clinton's career is over and she is going to run home and bake cookies. She is still a Senator from New York and a party leader. She gives a heck of a speech and no matter who wins this election we are going to continue to hear alot more from Hillary Clinton.

Be assured that 25% of Hillary voters will be voting for McCain. Obama is an arrogant for no reason candidate that is a token candidate by the DNC. He was forced down our throat. The DNC, especially Howard Dean, Donna Brazille and Nancy Pelosi, believe that because Obama is a "Democrat" and no other reason or experience should be necessay, all Democrats will vote for Obama. Wrong! Wright Wrong!
Todays Poll
47% McCain and 45% Obama.

NObama.

quite frankly women should be outraged by her.i tell you nancy p said it with grace she needs to get over it .and i am sure the meaning to her is you got over monica didn't you hello

Congrats, Barack Hussein Obama.

if hc rag has lasted this long then this is what we should be focusing on don't you think.18 million women voters yeah right.its because shes a women and a women only point blank.well this is not about being a women..............besides john has not picked his vp yet all you 18 mill voters its never to late to ask see if john feels sorry for you because barack doesn't.if i said if he loses this race trust me that rag will not be pass to him.the only way the clintons can get over this is for obama to loose so it can be all about the first women presd.i am willing to bet anything i have and say it want be her.after this fiasco white women or not.

She did it! Obama is nominated by acclamation.

Maryland: 94 Obama, 6 Clinton (will she call for acclaimation when it gets to New York?)

I thought The One was "born" in Hawaii?

The roll call is just for show, the results had been delivered earlier

Kansas, the birthplace of BO, has just weighed in, and Obama is now winning 741-177.

It didn't mean much, at the time of here remarks they results had already been delivered. Most of the votes for Hillary are token. She only had 5% left anyway.

Et tu, Arkansas?!

(Thanks, Deep Blue -- no surprises so far ; )

Hey Jake,

The roll call is going on now- Obama is leading 275-71, California passed, Arkansas went 47-0 to Obama.

Fan the flames of your imagined Democratic discontent. That is all you have GOP losers. The Republican message is a mixed bag of rehashed-warmed over leftovers of the Bush administration. Check out the old geezer you guys have representing you. He has great vision....for the 1960s.

I am away from C-SPAN. Can someone post a "heads up" when the official roll call finally gets going? Thanks.

Same comment re: NOW ...

Bill:

No one thinks that 18 million voters who would have voted for Hillary will "not" be voting for McCain.

That should have been 'will NOW be voting for McCain". Need to use the preview feature.

From the link I provided:

Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill, an Obama supporter, said Clinton's challenge in getting her delegates to come on board with Obama "may be the biggest test of her leadership."

"If she's not a strong enough leader to get her followers to do what's right for America, then that would surprise me,"

(Did she say something worse than that later?)

The division within the democratic party is now a myth. Fox News and right wing radio are trying to keep it alive, but there's just not a strong enough contingent of Hillary voters out there to make their case. There will always be a few wackos they'll be able to find, but if anyone thinks 18 million voters who would have voted for Hillary will not be voting for McCain...well the word delusional doesn't even cover it.

I just heard what Gov. McCaskill said about Sen Clinton releasing her delegates and I have to say that all the rep trolls on these web sites can stop trying to drive a wedge between Clinton and OBama supporters because you could never be as good at it as Claire.
