Obama Takes Clean Sweep

Canuck_Buck · 02-09-2008, 09:09 PM

arack Obama went three for three on Saturday, winning the Nebraska and Washington Democratic caucuses and taking the Louisiana Democratic primary over opponent Hillary Clinton. He then took the cherry on top with a Virgin Islands caucuses victory.

The still airtight race likely will go on for many weeks with 370 delegates at stake on March 4 in Ohio, Texas, Rhode Island and Vermont. Without a sweep of wins in the upcoming contests, the Democratic race could come down to the convention in August, which some party officials dread will happen.

Bad thing is, Hillary will likely pull out Rhode Island and Vermont, but I'd think Obama will take Texas, and Ohio is going to becrapshoot. Scary that one of these 2 may be our next President. [:'(] I think I'll take him over her, however, because I've never trusted her and I don't feel nearly as apprehensive about him. I actually feel less apprehensive about him than I do McCain, in all honesty.

The momentum is definitely shifting in the Democratic race. An Obama sweep today, and all signs point towards another sweep Tuesday in the Potomic primaries. Today wasn't unexpected and Tuesday won't be unexpected, but Obama has to feel pretty decent about himself right now.

I think it would be very entertaining to watch this come down to the wire and see the Democratic Party embroil itself in a legal brouhaha over who the nominee will be. And that's not at all impossible given which party we're talking about here.

It is reassuring to know that so many Dems can't stand hillary either.

Wait until Hillary's PR department is on the offensive full-steam on Monday...

Ohio and Texas primaries will be informative. The dynamics in the Dem party make for more interesting news than what is happening in mine.

Does this mean we can look forward to more Bill Clinton tirades about how his wife isn't getting votes because she's a woman, or because she isn't black, because the establishment is against her, etc.?
