why would u want to make contributions to the campaign?

*snip*

@ 4Him, i really don't know why that happens to give u headache, don't drink panadol for another persons headache.

If you don't have the answer then keep mute. 

4Him:

Why would people not learn to shut up.

@ away4real, thank you sir. Your advice is duly taken.

okay @ 4Him u were being sarcastic, me too i smile , no fight.

I only wanted to give like $150-200 nothing major, i was reading that it is such contributions that fund the campaign so i wanted to be part of it. I never gave Obama a chance, i believe he has the mojority vote but again ironically doubt the establishment would let him be. The close close elections tell us an invisible hand is at play. Obama has the majority and the young but all these 45 yr old women upwards wont let the future be.

Even the college graduates are for Obama, it is the suffer suffer that are supporting hillary and unfortunately they are quite a number.

with Romney gone, McCain is now 100% certain to be the Rep nominee. . .

Democrats, you can start celebrating cos you've already won the november presidential election. It'll be a boring race cos we already know either Hillary or Obama will be president.

I wonder--we should have had Dick Chenney then. Haba!

with the Republicans already having a picture of who their candidate is, It will be more of a disadvantage to the Democrats if they're still undecided by March/April, that will mean still spending more on primaries campaign when a lot of this money could be used during the main election Campaign.
The republicans would have already started works on the general elections by then? whaddyall think?

That is the whole point.Romney's withdrawal allows the GOP to reserve resources for the main battle.

You better thank your stars like I thank mine that the US runs on a truly bipartisan government.  And who ever told you that "the Republicans" have been running the white house?

If the Republicans have been running the white house all we would have had are KKK dragons and anti-abortion religious bigots shooting down every citizen in America in the name of "family values".  Gosh I detest those people. If they are not hounding abortion clinics to kill doctors, they are pursuing gay people allover America to find out what kind of sex they are having inside their houses.  Nothing serious to discuss at all.  Meanwhile, immigration, health care and social security issues are being tossed around like ping pong balls.  Most of their stupid proposals have ended in filibusters in both houses. Sitting on their fat behinds and wasting tax payers money yea after year.  Thanks to the ratio of Democrats to Republicans in the lower and upper houses.

We would have sent you Brits to Iran and Kenya for active duty.  Thank the Democrats I say!

@almondjoy

What would explain the Republicans victory in 5 out of the last 8 presidential elections,if they didn't have a clue what they were doing?So it is a result of bi-partisanship. . .  .isn't that tosh?

There is only one member of Congress who belonged to the KKK.Do you know what party he(Robert Byrd) belongs to?

Remind me again which party voted against the prohibition of slavery or which party's congressmen  voted in higher proportions against the Civil Rights Act.

If the only GOP policies you are aware of are "family values" issues,that tells us more about you than the GOP.

The two party system in the US is by and large entrenched
but anywhere else the Republican party would have been split
with the fiscal and social conservatives going his or her own way.

As per the election, what is most annoying are the Republican party
candidates falling over each other to gain Reagan's endorsement
from the grave.

Reagan was before my time but in my opinion his reputation is undeserved
judging from his deeds.

Anywhere else? In Britain,fiscal and social conservatives are natural bedfellows in the Tory Party.Same goes for Christian Democrats(Germany),Likud(Israel),Liberal Party(Australia)

It is natural that in such a big country,you have ideological coalitions in a party.This is not restricted to the GOP.There are Southern Democrats who are more socially conservative than many North East and West Coast Republicans.The most socially conservative people in America are ardent Democrats-Blacks.

No group of people are more likely to attend church and express religiosity than black Americans.The most blatant cases of homophobia are not be found in the Bible-belt but within African-American communities.

I will have to disagree with you about the Tories.

Can you name one Tory who is not fiscally conservative?

I guess its a matter of emphasis. And there has been a split from the Tories anyway.

Look at UKIP and the BNP.

And pertaining to the conservatism of Southern Blacks----------I do get your drift.
But at the same time you will not see many blacks spearheading anti abortion
or marriage legislative protests. It does not occupy high priority on their list of concerns.
Racial or quasi racial issues take that pride of place with blacks. Obama despite his prochoice
leanings kicked ass in the Deep South after all.

But the Republican party is fissured into two camps who live or die by social and conservative issues.
Their political decision making is coloured by their attitude either towards abortion or government spending.
And recently the latter has grown increasingly liberal while the social conservatives have grown more insular.

A split will as they say in financial circles release value, for the voters in this case.

You mean a Tory who is fiscally conservative? The Tory party is a combination of fiscal and social conservatives.

UKIP is a fringe party that only is significant in respect of European elections.BNP is an overhyped non-entity.There are rightist parties in the US-e.g Reform Party-that command far greater followership than the BNP.

The 3 main parties in England are the Lib Dems,Labor and the Tories.Sure there are a lot of fringe parties in the UK but same applies to the US.The Tories still remain the natural ideological home for any conservative-fiscal or social.

Obama vs. Clinton Resumes With Louisiana, Washington, & Nebraska Voting Today

02.09.2008

With Super Tuesday now history, the bitter battle between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton resumes today with caucuses in Nebraska and Washington, as well as a primary in Louisiana. Maine will also hold its caucus on Sunday. These are the first states to vote since 22 voted on Tuesday and more or less left Obama and Clinton in a delegate tie.Looking ahead to this weekend's states, Louisiana is the only primary and strongly favors Obama. The state has a large African American population which Obama has been grabbing nearly 80% of so far. No public polling is available of the state but it would be viewed as a major upset if Clinton wins. 56 delegates are up for grabs and Obama should be able to get more than half of those.Nebraska is another state that Obama should do well in. It's a red state caucus and Obama has done extremely well in red state caucus thus far and he crushed Clinton in neighboring Kansas. He has shown that his organization is much stronger than Clinton in most of these smaller states that she seems to have ignored in some part (other than Nevada since that was an early state). 24 delegates will be up for grabs here and no public polling is available.Washington should also be a good state for Obama, but may not be as strong as some seem to think. Washington has a huge Asian American population and Obama has gotten crushed by Clinton among Asians. Obama did draw 20,000+ in Seattle yesterday, but again, the key will be whether he is able to get his supporters out to caucus. He has shown he can do so in past states, but Washington seems a bit difficult in many ways. Washington is the big prize of the weekend with 78 delegates. A poll released on Monday had Obama up 53% to 40%, but we've all learned this year now to put much faith in polls. Maine on Sunday favors Clinton despite being a caucus. Maine is in the Northeast which has proven to be Clinton country. The demographics here, mostly white, not many college students, lot of older people, seem to favor Clinton. 24 delegates will be decided and the state has no polling available.One thing Obama really needs to focus on is the expectations game. The media continues to act as if Obama should win every state in February, otherwise it will be a disappointment. Expectations for him are becoming very high and he needs to have his people out in the media downplaying expectations just like the Clinton camp does (the Clintons acted as if wins in two states where they had double digit leads, New Jersey and Massachusetts, were upsets and the media actually bought it).
And while he may not win every state, Obama does need to do well in the states this weekend and the rest of the month to build up to the Texas and Ohio primaries on March 4th where Clinton seems to be a big favorite. I'll check in with results and thoughts tonight after the states are decided.

Yeah they may have won the elections according to your stats which is absolutely correct but they do not "run" the country alone!  Yes you are right in all that you said, but I repeat for the umpteenth time.  Democrats are not going to rule America alone just like Rebublicans never ruled America alone.  All we are going for is to make history to say we have a "democratic" president.  Both seldom use veto power if I may add.  I don't think we could have any president hold America to ransom because there are always checks and balances.  That is my point.

The rest is for "Paper".

We just would appreciate a change from the Republicans and see if things might just change for the better especially spending on "defence" with almost 80 thousand US. troops lazing around the world. When our health care, educational, real estate, social security and economy as a whole suffer under excessive meaningless expenditure.

Obama pummels Clinton in White House duel

February 10, 2008 - 12:22PM

Barack Obama pummeled Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in the latest round of their battle for the White House nomination on Saturday, earning momentum and valuable delegates with big wins in Washington and Nebraska caucuses.Obama registered comfortable victories in both states, outscoring Clinton by margins of roughly 2 to 1, according to media projections.His triumphs will boost the Illinois senator's campaign to be the country's first black president, after a fierce Super Tuesday duel that saw the two share the honors.It was not immediately clear how many delegates Obama picked up from his victories on Saturday, with the two locked in a tussle for the 2,025 delegates need to win the party's nomination for November's presidential elections.
Pete Crane, a caucus-goer for more than 30 years, said the turnout at a caucus in Bremerton, Washington, was "by far" the biggest crowd he had seen.



"It was an incredible crowd, probably three times what it was four years ago," Crane told AFP. The precinct went 32 to 12 Obama.Results from the Republican Party's Kansas caucuses on Saturday boosted the flagging campaign of Mike Huckabee, who won the state with some 60 percent of the vote to 24 percent for John McCain.
The Vietnam war hero, McCain, 71, is virtually assured of the party's nomination for the November elections, but Huckabee, an ordained Baptist preacher, has been doing well in conservative, rural states."I majored in miracles, and I still believe in them," he told supporters Saturday, warning McCain "the game is on."
In a sign that McCain is still viewed with suspicion by many Republicans, a straw poll taken at a conference of conservative activists handed a slim victory to former rival Mitt Romney who dropped out of the race on Thursday.With the results from Saturday's vote in Louisiana still to come, Clinton and Obama were already eyeing new battlegrounds. Maine, the country's northeastern-most state, votes on Sunday to decide 34 delegates.Virginia, Maryland and Washington, DC, all hold primaries on Tuesday where another 200 delegates are at stake. But the next big date will be March 4 when the two will be hoping to mine a rich seam of delegates in Texas and Ohio.Clinton, 60, and Obama, 46, were both addressing a key Democratic dinner in Richmond, Virginia late Saturday, the first time they were sharing a platform since Super Tuesday.A tally by independent pollsters RealClearPolitics on Saturday put Clinton, bidding to the country's first woman president, marginally ahead in the delegate count, with 1,076 to Obama's 1,015.A national Newsweek poll out Friday had Obama surpassing Clinton's once-overwhelming lead for the first time.It gave Obama 42 percent support compared to 41 percent for Clinton. Nevertheless, in the survey of 1,394 registered voters, a large 17 percent remained undecided, underscoring the need for both candidates to continue fighting for support, voter by voter.In Washington, Obama's soaring message of change had registered with voters at caucuses across the northwestern state."I'm a big fan of Senator Clinton and I thought long and hard about my decision, but ultimately I think Senator Obama is going to unify and govern in a way that will be very positive for the nation," said caucus-goer Paul Steven-Miller, a former White House policy adviser to ex-president Bill Clinton.Obama meanwhile stood favored to outperform Clinton in Virginia and Maryland, in part due to the high number of African-American voters.
Virginia Governor Tim Kaine said he endorsed Obama because "he is a unifier in times of bitter division. He is an agent of change at a time when our nation needs change."

Breaking News:Barack Obama has won the Democratic primary in Louisiana. (AP)


WASHINGTON - Sen. Barack Obama swept the Louisiana primary and caucuses in Nebraska and Washington state Saturday night, slicing into Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's slender delegate lead in their historic race for the Democratic presidential nomination.


The Illinois senator also won caucuses in the Virgin Island, completing his best night of the campaign.

His winning margins were substantial, ranging from roughly two-thirds of the vote in Washington state and Nebraska to nearly 90 percent in the Virgin Islands. With returns counted from more than one-third of the Louisiana precincts, he was gaining 53 percent of the vote, to 39 percent for the former first lady.

As in his earlier Southern triumphs in Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina, Obama, a black man, rode a wave of African-American support to victory in Louisiana.

Clinton made no mention of the night's contests as she appeared at a Democratic Party dinner in Virginia, site of one of three primaries this Tuesday.

Instead, she criticized Arizona Sen. John McCain, the Republican nominee in all but name. "We have tried it President Bush's way," she said, "and now the Republicans have chosen more of the same."

She left quickly after her speech, departing before Obama's scheduled arrival. But his supporters made their presence known, as chants of "Obama" floated up from the audience as she made her way offstage.

Up Obama!!!

My greatest joy in this whole thing is that Obama has proven himself a force to be reckoned with.
I can imagine the Clintons now see apparitions of obama while awake and visions of Obama in their sleep
Even if Obama loses eventually,they have been taught an all important lesson.

Good!  But one thing is for sure!  That Michelle Obama woman need to be taught the "presidential first lady" wave.  That her wild way of waving her hands like she is about to engage in some kind of physical combat has to go.

Next, something has to be done about her nose and teeth!  She needs to knock off like 6-8 of her over-populated mouth to acheive a decent smile. A Rottweiler-look-alike-Condeleeza Rice's look in no longer in vogue!

Gosh!

It would really be disgusting if all this fuss about Obama plays out to be the ultimate ploy to hand this presidency to that geri-kid Mccain of a fellow.  Infact, the future looks bleak.


Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!  I never trust these flip-flopping Americans!  They can change their minds at the very last minute even after the fat lady has sung!
