14. It would seem that some DNC rules need to be adjusted to stop cross party voting.

16. I couldnt agree more.
Rush should be tarred and feathered in a public square. At the very, very least.

29. Indeed ...cheating the voting system is going against democracy.
Maybe he should join the Taliban.

35. Yep! Pennsylvania was such a crushing disappointment for me and me fellow
Pittsburgh campaigners. I had worked my ass off for a month (nothing compared to so many others, of course) in a predominantly Obama-supporting area of Pittsburgh. I was pretty spoiled, actually, with loads of interest and volunteers from my ward....and then on election night I emerged from my little bubble and was slapped with the reality of the whole state of Pennsylvania! I actually thought he was going to win PA!

Anyway, NC has more than made up for PA, but an Indiana win (even a tie) will completely ROCK!

Edited on Tue May-06-08 08:05 PM by stratomagi
the Shadyside, Bloomfield, Lawrenceville area. The PA primaries hurt, yeah. My buddy just called me tonight and said that if Obama pulls a win in Indinana tonight we're gonna get super drunk!

9. Obama doesn't expect to win Indiana but doesn't expect to lose by much so 8pts is about right.

17. I think so - they said that Lake, Marion and Monroe are the big ones out
Lake is the steel mill area (Gary, East Chicago etc), Marion (Indianapolis) and Monroe (Bloomington where IU is)

18. This will be tight ...
Most rural votes are in now.... Obama still might have quite enough, but it's looking like less than 5... maybe 1-2 pts.

This has gone from a double digets behind to 8 behind,and black areas haven't reported yet.Obama

42. 6.24% with 65% of precincts reporting in.
Still no results from Lake county. I'm pretty sure that she'll still win the state, but not by much. I'd say that today is the death of the popular vote argument however you calculate it.

51. Oh God, I know!
I'm surprised our ISP hasn't shut us down. And my husband has been giving me the evil eye because I've been spending sooo much time on the computer reading the news and trying to keep up. I can't help it. This is the most exciting presidential election I've ever been through and we've still got 6 months to go.

That went into the 100's and 10's of votes.....


This could be another one...it's going to get close.
