The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent
vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums
here.
We now return to our regularly scheduled PA Forums. Please let me (Hahnsoo1) know if something isn't working. The Holiday Forum will remain up until January 10, 2025.
Democratic Primaries: Um, like, wow

Yeah, but his prospects with the 'Reagan Democrats' really weren't all that great to begin with.

Yeah, let's stereotype people as racists based on where they live and piss them off so we can bitch when they don't vote our way.
Don't ever wonder why or act suprised when the south keeps going red because you keep spitting in their faces.

No, no idea, no idea, less idea, but hopefully not the state, we're broke.
You speak like someone who's offended because they live in Mississippi. But have you ever actually been to Mississippi?

When I found out about the electoral college my mind was blown. You only vote for two people, just add the votes up!
p.s. Obama got over 90% of the black vote; yikes.
Is it our fault they have a 'please spit in my face' sign on their chest? 80% of 20% of Ohio Democrats are admitted racists. It's not as if this is some magical fairy land where race is no longer an issue. Especially amongst voters since they tend to largely be old people. The kind of people old enough to have lived the majority of their lives in segregation and potentially had lynched a n***** as a social event.
Everyone remember this time last year when they were questioning whether or not he was black enough?
Well, this is a region that historically votes as a block. And it was Democrat (read: not the party of Lincoln) from the Civil War until LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act when they switched parties. Let's just say there is some evidence to suggest that the South, especially older Southerners, may in fact think less of people who do not share their skin color. Same could be said, of say, Boston, while we're at it. A lot of old white people are dumb about race. Fortunately, there are signs it's getting better. I was encouraged by the percentage of white Georgians who were willing to vote for a black man for example.
Shush. If you keep reminding people about that then the 24/7's won't be able to play up the racial divide thing.

Yeah, there were. They recounted the votes and fixed the mistakes. Well, those that they knew about, anyway. /tinhat
I beg to differ.

Do you know how the delegate count was impacted? I lost track of the story since the last time I saw it in one of these threads.
On a semi-related note, I guess Obama just netted 4 more delegates from CA when more of the provisional ballots were counted.
It appears that nearly every white Republican who crossed over in earnest voted for Obama.
Posters of the world unite? No thanks there, comrade.
I don't, unfortunately. I would be surprised, based on the number of votes I recall being recounted (mere hundreds), if any delegate totals were actually influenced. But, that's a pretty uninformed assumption, so feel free to google me wrong.
I know it's silly, but I'm getting a little sick of the camp running away generally scot-free with every tiny little thing.
Like NAFTA. No one has picked up on that, and she still uses it in her speeches. Baffling.

There are pretty distinct groups among the Democratic party, particularly well emphasized in Ohio. I wouldn't let that information surprise you.
That said, it's probably good for those illusions to be shattered, regardless.
I made a post about that very thing but pretty much everyone ignored it.
Bill Clinton actually went on Limbaugh's radio show.
I'm not finding anything and am not actually curious enough to keep searching. I appreciate the help though. And thanks to everyone around here for all the work you have been doing for this campaign. Back to lurking for me.
Well, i think he's now +22 for the week since March 4th, so yeah he's doing ok. (Counting supers, the California thing, Texas caucuses, Wyoming, Mississippi)
According to an Obamail I received an hour or two ago, he did make up for her gained delegates on march 4th.

And I didn't see the SNL sketch. Is it true they used a white guy in black face to play Obama?
Well, he's more a half-Japanese, half Latino guy I think, but yes.
Either that, or the Buddhist centers of my central nervous system are aggressively staking out new territory.
