Super Tuesday III: Kentucky, Oregon

Polls close in 40 minutes.

Everybody get your "primaritinies" ready!

I'm drinking wine that's been aging in my fridge for the past 3 years. Tis quite tasty

Wine, beer, Maker's Mark (), it's all good.

Good news for Obama:

Here's another rumination (like my other thread), but I have the feeling that Obama supporters might feel they don't have to show up to the polls because he's the "presumptive" nominee at this point whereas Clinton is going to push her supporters out to show that she shouldn't "give up." My dad's family is largely from Kentucky and pretty much all Obama supporters. I went on my own personal phone campaign last night and today to make sure they went out and vote for Obama even though he's more than likely going to win.

[edit: oh yeah, Dobbs is a fucking racist--that is all]

CNN: 75% rural areas vote Clinton. Go figure.

54% believe Obama shares Wrights views (my idiot grandfather is among this unfortunate population).

Also,

Was Race Important to You?
Yes: 21%
No: 77%

If Yes, who did you vote for?
Clinton: 81%
Obama: 15%

Just checking the Kentucky returns so far. With 16% reporting, it is 51% Clinton, 46% Obama . . . goodbye blowout

And that doesn't even include those who are too fucking yellow-bellied to admit that race matters.

It's still early. Now it's 55/42.

But what was the prediction? 65/35?

Clinton is expected to get 62, Obama 31 and Edwards 6.

Just imagine how it's going to be in November, when you throw Republican and Independent votes in there. Not good for Obama.

Exactly, Clinton will win by a significant margin now matter how well she does in Jefferson (where my family is from, we may be ignorant hicks but at least we're for the smart one ).

County by county breakdown, if anyone is interested

Right now it's close because Louisville and Lexington came in early. The rural bumpkin vote still has to come in.

Goddammit, stop crushing my unfounded optimism!

Sanjay is fucking annoying, and why has nobody explained to them that it's supposed to be pronounced "SUN JAY"! *retards*

You know, Ive changed my mind. I dont think she should give up. The math is against her, its obvious, as she has t pick up 300 delegates to his 100. But this is the closest a woman (or a black man) has ever been to being president yet. Let em both run. This is historic.

But he's beating McCain in the Gallup, and SUSA has Obama/Edwards beating McCain/Anyone.

It's never been a question of whether or not running alone is acceptable, for me, but whether or not she's running at the expense of the other candidate.

At this point, I doubt it matters, so she might as well lose on her own terms so her supporters can't say the rug was pulled out from under her.

In Kentucky? What about West Virginia? If you're talking about just a general country-wide poll, I'd be less interested in those than the state-by-state ones. Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, etc.

It's a 32 point margin now in Kentucky, with 63% in.

When do the polls close in OR?

In about 2 hours and 40 minutes.
