1. WTG Obama! He's doing great in some of the red states
No small feat, and quite a pleasant surprise.

2. Congratulations to Obama folk
I am not an Obama fan (I find him a bit of an entitled spoilt brat) but I am a democrat. If he does get the nomination he will have my full support.

Meanwhile I am pleased to see Hillary's successes.

4. Most of my Dem family and friends voted Obama
and I will support him totally in the general.

The article says that Obama is gaining support among whites, but his wins in South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama were because he's getting 80% of the African American vote and in those states African Americans are about 50% of the Democratic voters. It will be almost impossible for ANY Dem to carry South Carolina, Georgia, or Alabama in the general election.

3. Actual title of the article is "Clinton takes NE prizes; Obama wins Ill".

All LBN post titles should reflect the exact wording of the news articles, I thought?

7. Hey, lets all forget that we no longer live in a democary...
and pretend that a miracle will happen where a relatively honest politican will get elected and we will live happily ever after. Or two corporate whores will run against one another for the presidency and it won't matter to the average jow which one wins. Gee, I wonder which story will come true.
