Obama Gains 14 More Delegates

CHICAGO -- On a day when Sen. Barack Obama picked up more pledged delegates in Iowa and California, the senator from Illinois told a crowd in suburban Indianapolis on Saturday that it is time to turn away from the "forces of division," and to choose instead "a different path that says: We have different stories, but we have common dreams and common hopes."

1. t-t-t-t-that hopeMONGER! How dare he pick up delegates from

states that have already voted?

[Botany]

4. He is going to pick up more from Ohio too.

Turns out that Ohio has a bunch of provisional
ballots that haven't been counted ... and guess
what? they are from areas that have shown support
for Obama.

Everyday it seems like he is picking up more and more
delegates.

[slinkerwink]

7. really? more delegates from Ohio? Link to article?

[Botany]

12. I'll try to find it

Not many but something like 2 or 3.

[CitizenLeft]

27. I think there are provisional ballots still uncounted...

...mostly from the cities, most likely Obama votes.

2. To quote Marv Albert: YESSSSSSSS!!

[C_U_L8R]

3. The wheels have come off the Obama campaign

and we've sprouted wings !!!!!!!
Turbo powered wings !!!!

GOBAMA !!!!!!!
Take us to the higher ground !!!!!

11. Haven't you read he is doomed?

Pastor .... Rezko .... NAFTA .... Race ..... Religion ....
Drugs ..... Karl Rove Playbook ..... experience .... no good
in debates ..... he can not get the white vote ..... Hillary has
the money and machine .....



BTW isn't Iowa very very very white? :rofl:

[Arugula Latte]

22. States that have lots of white people don't count ...

Just like states that have lots of black people don't count. The only states that count are "big" states with lots of Latinos and white blue collar workers. Sheesh. :eyes: How many times do I have to explain this?

[stillcool]

28. It changes...

depending on who wins. I feel sorry for Iowans. After having their caucus since 1972, this year they find out that they have been engaging in undemocratic practices all along.

21. WIND Turbine Power!

5. California delegates...

Are these delegates from California on top of the ones he got a week or two ago, or are they the same thing?

[Bullet1987]

6. No matter how hard they try...he just keeps widening his lead

[Adelante]

8. More delegates is always good news

:)

9. Stunning! I hope the NYT is writing about

this, too, so all us New Yorkers can get it.

[usregimechange]

10. kick!

[Kittycat]

13. Even in his worst week of the campaign - he still stomps all over her.

[IndianaGreen]

14. Time for Hillary to face reality and bring her ugly campaign to an end

and at least salvage some dignity out of all of this.

Hillary should sue Mark Penn for incompetence!

[Botany]

19. Mark Penn's, "Iowa doesn't count" blast comes back to chomp his butt.

Guess those people in Iowa might not have liked that
comment too much. Mark "$10 Million" Penn ... Dr. Smooth.

BTW Doesn't Edwards have delegates in New Hampshire &
South Carolina too?

[ButterflyBlood]

23. Yes, but those aren't caucuses

The system is different. Technically no delegates in Iowa have been pledged to Obama, Hillary or Edwards yet. Obama picked up county delegates which means he's estimated to gain more delegates at the state convention (in June). Edwards' delegates in New Hampshire and South Carolina are already pledged to him (though they too can switch, but not in the way Iowa did.)

[Botany]

15. He has won Jan., Feb., & March

He now leads in the raw vote, states, delegates, and is even
in super delegates (he should be ahead by next week).

The media and the right wing are propping up Hillary
to keep the "battle" going. She is all but mathematically
out of it.

[Life Long Dem]

18. This was over for Hillary on Super Tuesday.

She gave it all or nothing and threw every last penny into this 22 state election. She was broke the next day and it was said she didn't expect to go further than that for the win. Since then it's bash the nominated candidate.

[Life Long Dem]

16. Get behind Obama you'll be happy you did!

Either get out or come out and explain to EVERYONE in detail how Hillary is going to win this legally.

[tridim]

17. Amazing, he wins even when he's not trying to win

The hallmark of a winner.

20. Very thorough analysis of delegates

Here is a very thorough and up-to-date analysis of the current status and outlook for delegates:
