WI - 64

If you want to keep up on the Washington primaries, you can do so here. This race is binding for the Republicans only.

SUPERDELEGATE COUNT (as of 1:20 pm, Feb. 19)
Clinton 257
Obama 185

According to MSNBC.........hmmmmmmmmmmm

Prediction: Obama will win both. I kind of miss the races being really tight. Fun. Ah well, better go find something to watch on TV.

I voted today in Wisconsin and I believe we're going to exceed 40% turnout which may be the biggest this primary season.

I live in downtown Milwaukee so it's hard to get a read on which way Wisconsin will go based on my district because there is a good mix of young and old. But from the interviews that local media has been conducting, it looks like Obama may win by at least 10 points because the moderate Republicans in the suburbs are skipping their race and going for Obama. Many said they'll be open to voting for Obama in the general too.

Obama should win easily, but the big question will be by how. I'm hoping that we punish Hillary for her negative campaigning.

although its possible that hillary has pulled a few all-nighters, i wouldn't say "she's worked the night shift too." i think thats a stretch.

I like the fact that the Democratic contest is still up in the air. To think that more states have had a meaningful chance to speak their minds than in the last 30 years is really something. It didn't take all that long for the other side to fall into lockstep (if you don't count the Jesustanis and their leader, the Rev. Ned Flanders and his Holy Bass). They're scared and they figure the longer they have to work the message the more of a chance they'll have to frighten the base into compliance. Of course, they have no message this time round - at least not one that anyone is listening to.

I like the fact that the worst thing you can say about Obama these days is that he might have agreed with someone on how to say something.

I like the fact that Democrats are outpolling their opponents by a better than 2-1 ratio at the polls. Doesn't matter which candidate gets the Dem nod; those numbers are hard to overcome.

I like 2008. So far, so good.

Go Dems, go democracy, Go America!

the ad reminded me of "it's hard work" from GWB 2004. As someone who has worked the nightshift in gas stations and at a plastics factory, I just wanted to scream "You don't know nothing about hard work , Hillary!" Hard work is not staying up all night writing policy positions or figuring out how to get more money from lobbyists . Clinton ad C-.

My understanding is that Washington is also having its Democratic primary today, largely by mail-in vote. The delegates are chosen by last week's caucus, however.

I live in Washington. There is a primary today. The democrats' vote means nothing because everything was decided via caucus earlier this month. The republicans' vote will choose 50% of the delegates. The first 50% of the delegates were chosen by the earlier caucus.

Up north, the precinct I vote in was pulling in about 100/hour for a two-precinct polling station that was new for both precincts. The nice thing about it, it was in my school, so I could take my seniors up there in the afternoon to show them the voting/registration process and allow (not encourage) eligible voters to vote.

I used to be stationed in Georgia and when I'd drive back to Wisconsin, I noticed there was ZERO state troopers until you hit Indiana and Wisconsin. They hover in droves on I-94 like 10 miles off the Illinois border. I can do 80 until I hit the state line and then I have to drop to 65 and cruise control into the city.

Call me crazy, but I agree with her. Since we put a Man on the Moon, what universal goal has America really accomplished? I'm a realist, so I'm not afraid to say that any time we cite hope and inspiration, we always go back to the 60s or earlier (unless you're a Republican and you go back to Regan and the Berlin Wall). But after 1969, what has we as a country truly done that would make every American proud regardless of our differences?

I'd love to say how we recovered from 9/11 and rallied the world into a generation of peace and prosperity. But that moment was lost forever when the first bombs hit Iraq. I wasn't alive during the March on Washington. I wasn't alive during V-J Day. I wasn't alive when the South surrendered.

You can live in Mitt Romney world and see this country through rainbow colored classes......I live in the real world where I think we have so much potential but we waste it because we care more about our self interests than the common good for us all.

Y'all are missing the forest for the trees. Wisconsin is an open primary - meaning that voters are free to vote for whomever they want, not merely the candidates for their own parties.

you see the fact that it was an open primary. i see the fact that the republicans are so drained from this presidency that a bunch of them said, "fuck it, let's go bowling" and didn't come out or are so sick of their own party they voted democrat.

Really? For "the first time in your adult life"? It takes your husband getting a lot of primary votes for you to be "really proud" of your country?

Welcome to the beginning of the idiotic screw-ups that are going to hand the Presidency to a geriatric imbecile from Arizona.

As a Democratic supporter with no Primary/Caucus allegiance towards Obama or Clinton it troubles me that that in a span of one week the Obama campaign has made 2 screw ups that virtually dominated the newscycles and will no doubtly come back up during the General.

Momma Obama making a comment that cannot be defended.

Obama Campaign needs to get their sh*t together.

47 million people need healthcare and 134,000 troops in Iraq need to come home. And all you care about is alleged plagiarism and your addiction to cynicism and disbelief. Looks like you have some seriously misplaced priorities.

Let me tell you WHY Obama is an idiot: he just referred to "ordinary Americans making less than $75,000 a year...", as needing tax breaks. So now $75,000 is the cut off for being ordinary? What an idiot.

I'm voting for McCain, cause of ONE ISSUE, and ONE ISSUE ONLY: he's against the DEATH TAX... yes, it's selfish... I don't give a shit about any other issue.

Geez, I figured in Wisconsin, people wound be "bound" to their party.

On the other hand, I guess that may just mean that Obama has broad appeal. Everyone wants to vote for the guy.

Isn't it remarkable how fussy and nitpicking about Obama the Hillary supporters are, considering many of them having voted for Bush purely because of his support for Israel and disregarded little petty items like him being an alcoholic and drunk, failed businessman, disgraceful service in the National Guard, cheating with taperecorder in the debates, couldn't put three words together without a gaffe, had never been out of the U.S., didn't know names of world leaders, etc etc etc. Notwithstanding a Diebold victory for Hillary, I think her ultimate defeat will serve all of them right.

You must be wealthy and have over 2 million in assets because you are only taxed on the assets over 2 million. It's not a death tax. No such thing in the tax code. If you vote for McCain you will get what you deserve, nothing, because he doesn't have a chance in hell of winning.

Despite your selfishness, Senator Obama is not an idiot. $75K/year income is the upper bound of the middle class. "Ordinary" can mean more than one thing.

If you're concerned about his interpretation of "ordinary," perhaps you should consider the larger effects of your opposition to the Estate Tax - a deepening of both deficits and wealth inequalities, especially for those who have no estates to leave their survivors.

That our "leaders" set up a shadow government filled with neocons? That we attacked a country in retribution for that horrible day that had nothing to do with 9/11? That we fabricated our reasons for that war? That we are fabricating reasons for attacking Iran?

Just what the fuck are we supposed to be proud about in how we reacted to 9/11? Yeah, the country banded together, and then anyone who opened their mouths and said anything critical of our response was called a traitor.

So yeah, I'm proud. Obama is the first person in our country since 9/11 to stand up and say enough is enough. I'm proud that we might elect this guy. I'm proud that he's a black man and our country seems to not make him unelectable because of his skin color.

It took what? 7 years for our country to wake up?

Putin: President (Hillary) Clinton, we almost have a deal on these nuclear weapons...

Hillary: Wait a second, I'm menstrating now, I need to leave this important meeting for an hour or two...

Putin: Wow, I thought she would have been out of commission years ago...

Hey asshat. Check out the shit on menstruation...Hillary has probably quit the rag. She's 60. I assume that you have heard this as an excuse in the past. If women are excusing themselves from you and using their menses as an excuse, you should take it as a sign-that they'll say anything to get away from you.

And with all your knowledge of Menses, Menstruation and the pithy little sexist joke you tried here could be part of the reason.

Nope, won't. On a previous thread, too long ago to find, in a discussion regarding the two party system you referred to those of us who were voting as stupid. You talked about the fact that if there was no third party, then it was stupid to vote.

If I am wrong, then tell us who you are going to vote for.

PS. Grandad says you've lost the argument as you used profanity first.

Johnny sounds too much like a republican, always whining and twisting the facts.

Yes, the Idiot in Chief f*cked it up after that....But we all deserved to be "really proud of our country" those few days after 911.

Guess it just slipped Michelle's mind.

Look...these two (Sen. and Mrs. Obama) are first class megalomaniacal rookies who will blow it come November.

Amazing.

What the hell were you proud of (the country for) after 9/11?

Missing the warnings?

Dropping the ball?

amazing

FDNY…NYPD…Port Authority Police…The ground Zero searchers…The people of NYC and everyone who pulled together to donate to the families.

Pretty easy to figure out unless you’re you. God.

Amazing.

Yeah, j2b, but none of those you listed qualify for "the country"

you are nuts

you hate obama with the same fervency as the right hates clinton.....it's admirable in a way, but a bit deranged.

you gotta work hard to square that circle.....but you did....i commend your hate-driven enthusiasm (or are you just bitter that nobody gave 2 cents about edwards)

Now, I'm just gonna go out on a limb here, but perhaps African Americans might tend to have a different perspective on the greater glory of these United States. Or perhaps she said something off-the-cuff that she would likely disagree with herself, given time to reflect.

But I guess that may be just because I don't automatically think that what I think is the best measure of the Universe.

Never wrote that either. I'll cop to things I've actually written....not for things you make up.
