President Clinton and NY Senator Clinton Vs.. Obama..
Edited on Fri May-02-08 04:35 PM by Bensthename
Just sayin, it is amazing to think this semi-unknown figure Barack Obama has thus far beaten the team of the most popular ex president Clinton and the "tough" Senator Clinton.. A 2 on 1 game with Obama the underdog winning..

I was listening to MSM a little while ago and was hearing about how Bill is in one state and Hillary is in the other. Of course this is not cheating, but the Clinton's definitely have a name recognition advantage and tons of supporters before this campaign even begun..

I am just amazed that the Clinton's are losing to a person that was not that well known this time a couple of years ago.. If Obama pulls this off he is da man..

That is all.

1. I'm as astounded as you are, Bensthename! This unknown man...
... up against the powerful Clinton machine, is ahead and actually poised to win - as long as shenanigans like what happened in Los Angeles {Independents wanted to vote for Obama, received provisional ballots with large letters "Democratic" at the top, voted, but forgot to check a tiny box off to the left that states: "If you are voting for a Democrat please check this box".

Little did those 800,000 in Los Angeles alone know, that if they didn't check that box, their ballot wouldn't be counted.

Oh, and like Pennsylvania's Ed Rendell {where there were machines breaking down all day and in districts expected to go heavily for Obama}, the mayor of Los Angeles, Villiriagosa <sp?> is a Clinton supporter...
