February was a great month for Obama
March not so much.

CNN just reported that of those who decided in the last three days, they overwhelmingly broke for Clinton.

She's having a great night.

The Rezko trial is underway.

The credibility issue is in play (admitted by one of his surrogates on CNN tonight).

McCain is raring to go after him as well...

Hillary on the other hand has found her sense of humour, she is getting the big MO when she needs it most.

March is going to be a very intersting month!

7. We are rooting for Obama.
You left wingers better get it through your heads that rooting for HRC does NOT equal support of McCain.

13. I was referring to this line:
"McCain is raring to go after him as well..."

No Dem should be cheering the opposition going after a fellow Dem.

18. Again:
"McCain is raring to go after him as well..."

I see no need to cheer that. I wouldn't do it for your candidate.

20. Well, I didn't see that as cheering. Because it isn't.
If McCain is NOT raring to go after either one, he has no business running.

:shrug:

And I'll stop right there.

Goodnight.

22. It's all good.
I merely took "raring to go" just as being ready.

Personnaly, i think McCain is ready for the scrap heap, and hasn't got a chance in hell.

23. I agree with your latter points, but
frankly, I don't like to see either side using that as an example of positive Dem momentum or...well, anything, in the context of tonight. I don't know if that makes sense.

Boost your candidate, etc. But please, can we not include the GOP's "revitalization" as a positive factor? On both sides?

Sigh!

:pals:

PS- I *hope* that you and I can get back to our "normal" friendly atmosphere, and soon. Like, for reals. And, you know what I mean.

2. March isn't that bad for Obama.
It's the month he secured the nomination.

What a disgusting comment.

6. Only a Hillary supporter could claim
that dropping Clinton from a 20%+ lead to break even is a bad month for Obama.

12. Exactly. How is what is happening a success for Hillary???
She lost 12 straight. Has a third of the money. Blew a 20+ point lead. She is losing. No spin around it. Oh, they'll try, but continue to fail.

8. March will be the month he becomes our nominee.
He has a bloc of 50+ SuperD's ready to endorse him at once, possible tomorrow. He will end tonight with adding to his Pledged Delegate lead. He is up nearly $40 million on Hillary. March will be as good or better than Feb.

9. After the dust settles tonight and ALL of the delegates are
awarded, Obama will INCREASE his lead by a minimum of +10.

You can bookmark this if you like.

Hillary didn't win Texas, not even the popular vote, much less the caucuses. Even RI wasn't a big a win for Hillary as predicted by almost everyone (including ME).

17. Clinton has only improved
because she smeared Obama with false stories, and Obama did not have time to refute them.

The Resko trial is starting and will demonstrate that Obama has nothing to do with it. Before a trial, several months are spent on "discovery". A trial cannot start until a judge finds that there is reason to go on with the trial. If anything had been found on Obama, he would have been subpoenaed and be part of the trial. One CANNOT do discovery during a trial.

In the meantime the Clintons are involved as defendants in a REAL trial in Los Angeles. Their names are on the witness list.

There is time now for Obama to clear all the crap thrown at him.

But from all of the nonsense thrown around here, one would think that Obama is involved in a trial as opposed to the Clintons, who really are.
