Hillary Won Tonight

[Bulldog_916]

Anybody else whisper a quiet "Gadamnit"?

I really wanted to see Obama wrap this thing up and start debating McCain, but it looks like this is going to go on until June. I wish she would just bow out. Obama is the only candidate that can go head to head w/ huge cheeks against McCain.

Thoughts?

my thoughts are..."fuck them all"
I'm going Nadar if and when Ron Paul doesn't make it

I think that "if and when" came sooner than expected? McCain sealed his nomination tonight.

I still think Ronnie P will make a go of it as an Independent. He is polling at almost 10% nationally, which, with an influx of Democratic votes after either Clinton or Obama is eliminated, will give him enough of a push to qualify for Federal funding in the future. It would also be a major victory for 3d party candidates.

if ron paul is running hes got my vote.

Great. More Hillary vs. Obama news to come... /sigh

Ron Paul did publicly announce that he wouldn't be running as an independant I believe. Still hope he does though... regardless, a third party candidate might actually have a chance now.

What did Hillary win? I hardly count her netting 1 or 2 delegates a win.

[zeppyrkr]

noooooo
im sick of her old bitchy grandma appearance, she only has women votes and only the dumb women
honestly there is something wrong with you if you dont agree with just about everything obama says, come on? my big question is can obama do everything he says he wants to?

anyways i think obama will get it just gotta wait now ...

hillary also got the mexican vote. but i dont know what i would do if she won the election, i cant even stand her voice.

If Ron Paul runs as a third party candidate, the dems can kiss the presidency goodbye. Third parties are never spoilers for Republicans, they are the catalyst that helps them win. Paul is a loyal republican, I could see him hijacking the election. I'd vote for him if he was a viable opponent, but he's too sane to be elected, if the primaries were any indication.

As of right now, Nader will split the Dem vote a little bit. As of right now, we're seeing McCain with the upper hand.

[Geiseric]

I wish Nader had a chance. I know so many people who are supporting Obama, who say they would vote for Nader if they believed he had half a chance. I fall into that camp myself. But there is no way anyone as anti-corporation as Nader would get into power.

3rd party candidates will never win the election

[St. Goodypants]

It's pretty horrible, but true for the time being.

I wouldn't say never though, if Ron Paul plays out on independent it might give independents a nice launching platform for the next round.

Third parties are never spoilers for Republicans, they are the catalyst that helps them win.

The only reason Bush I didn't win was because Perot spoiled the election. If Clinton hadn't won in '94, we wouldn't be in Iraq right now, let alone bitching about Hillary.

[DRainh2o]

I want Obama to win Clinto is too polarized and stubborn to gain unified support. Her policies are too extreme for any republican to agree to but Obama could pull some over.

We would STILL be in Iraq, that is almost assured.

Read "other nominations." Clinton and Bush were only ahead because Perot himself dropped out then re-entered weeks before the election. He could have cinched it. He wasnt a spoiler, he was the front runner.
