Edwards To Quit

Posted by: Curt @ 8:24 am in Politics

So Edwards is quitting:

Democrat John Edwards is exiting the presidential race Wednesday, ending a scrappy underdog bid in which he steered his rivals toward progressive ideals while grappling with family hardship that roused voters’ sympathies, The Associated Press has learned.

The two-time White House candidate notified a close circle of senior advisers that he planned to make the announcement at a 1 p.m. EST event in New Orleans that had been billed as a speech on poverty, according to two aides. The decision came after Edwards lost the four states to hold nominating contests so far to rivals who stole the spotlight from the beginning — Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama.

A Bonanza Of Entertainment!

Posted by: Curt @ 3:23 pm in Politics

Just imagine the blogging bonanza this scenario would bring?

the Democratic nomination may come down to whether or not the delegates from Michigan and Florida are seated at the national convention.

According to CNN, right now Hillary’s ahead in the delegate count, 230 to to 152. The winner needs 2,025. But Hillary’s lead is almost entirely already-committed superdelegates, as the contests so far have been all near-ties in terms of delegates: Both she and Obama got 18 out of Iowa, CNN gives Obama one more delegate out of New Hampshire (a sort-of explanation here), they split Nevada 14 each, and Obama won South Carolina’s, 26 to 14.

Looking forward, 370 out of the 441 delegates in California are awarded proportionally. In New York, 151 out of 281 are awarded proportionally, so Obama could walk away with (if current polls are accurate) about 45 delegates from Hillary’s home state. Similarly, she could get about 22 percent of Illinois’ 153 delegates, about 33 delegates.

SC Dem Decision Based on Racism and Mud!

Posted by: Mike's America @ 2:35 pm in Politics


UPDATE: 7 PM EST Projection: Barrack Hussein Obama WINS SC!

The spectacle of a former President stumping South Carolina stirring up racial animosity would be a HUUUGGEEE scandal if the President doing it were a Republican!

Writing at 5 PM EST on Saturday, we’ll know the results of the Democrat primary in South Carolina in a few hours. While most of us have been distracted dealing with the GOP race, it’s important to consider what is happening on the other side as it’s likely just a warm up act for what we will see in November.

After McCain won the SC GOP primary, attention quickly turned to the Democrats. The air waves immediately filled with commercials by Barrack Obama promising to rob from the rich and give to the poor. That’s not so far off what Hillary and John Edwards were promising as they each marked out a socialist campaign platform.

But the real story was Bill Clinton campaigning all week in the state while his wife was elsewhere as if that would fool the voters into believing she wasn’t responsible for what he was doing. Read the rest of this entry »
