First!
first.
firstthirddamn you Jason Scott!
“Bush/McCain republicans ” YES!!
Jason, u need to change the banner on the comment page.
“dv, remember every time he speaks he is speaking to thousands of new people. so a old joke is a good thing.”
Yeah, but due to TVs and youtube, those thousands of people have likely heard the speech before.
HA!
he needs a shit brown suit
Joe M’s got my back byotchski
LOL
I’ll try to get to the banner.
Huckabee needs a new tailor, I think….
I’d like to steal Obama’s baby
“John McCain is an American hero. ” The man is a class act.
George Bush won’t be on the ballot this November
: Huge cheer :
Never gets old.
oh yeah War in Iraq…
I love that he is taking Hillary out of the discussion.
McCain: Bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran.
Oh, that’ll come back to haunt him
over obama’s left shoulder is that Pat from SNL?
So — guess it really is civil war on the repub side!
Who has the popcorn?
“George Bush won’t be on the ballot this November
: Huge cheer :
Never gets old.”
I can’t get the image of a confused Bush hearing that, with a little tear tracing it’s way down his cheek.
I love that he is taking Hillary out of the discussion.
Good observation, Jason. I’m sure we will see it in the debates.
He can control a crowd, can’t he?
I see a black guy! in the green jacket!
wow, did they fly him in from Detroit?
I’m getting teary eyed.
I just figured out how to get universal healthcare. We just get Congress to approve the funding every year off-budget. It works for Iraq.
Dominique is rather miffed. As for me…. I’m tingling with joy.
BTW, has anybody seen DC numbers yet? What the hell! There’s like… 200 people there, and they closed the polls an hour and a half before Maryland.
if you’d shave your eye brows they wouldn’t hang in them
I can’t get the image of a confused Bush hearing that, with a little tear tracing it’s way down his cheek.
If you think about it, most of the election rhetoric and strategy on both sides pretty much disses this guy every day. And he has to wake up to the fact that no one wants to be associated with him or his policies (except McCain, really). That, I think is the BushCo legacy….
Banrupcy laws that protect banks and big lenders….Oh snap!
The man is inspiring. America needs that to wipe away our disillusion.
There are more people at Obama’s speech than there are at a Sixers’ game.
Oh Matt – I lived in DC. It could be a week befor they know that Obama won by 98%
it’s all over man, look at white people going crazy for this guy….
let’s hope he doesn’t get shot. and I’m not joking
Did you really? I love the place. It’s beautiful.
But seriously, their Dept. of Elections is shit.
Staying ON MESSAGE, that takes discipline. It should sound the same at every stop. When the candidate starts to ad lib you’ve got big trouble.
Reb,
do you think this guy can’t ad lib though? he is so freaking smoothe man
Obama/Clinton 08
Think of it as life insurance. And can you think of a better attack dog in the general election?
Parents have to parent
Great stuff.
It was a great place to live pre-kids. We loved the city. Getting your car inpsected though…Oy.
#38 Don, That’s how mistakes get made and the press has a feeding frenzy.
did the scroll say “hillary talks to Texans after losing Dc, Md & Va” ?
Geek…. I disagree. Clinton would drag him down, hard. Throngs of his supporters who were so revved up would question his judgment fervently.
but no one would shoot him and she is one hell of a politician.
wasnt this the part where he inserted Ceasar Rodney?
that was Ad libbing
I haven’t seen the Democrats this energized this early in an election cycle ever.
We start getting energized around October and then it is too late. It’s freaking February and we’re coming together. Amazing.
he’s ad libbing now isn’t he?
No that’s mad-libbing. Insert local historical hero story here.
Hillary is finished.
and Nemski is old too so he would know
Cynicism is a sorry kind of wisdom!
nemski,
did you get to see him in Wilmington?
Nemski, you are right. 20K people showing up in February, in Wilmington, on Superbowl Sunday… Incredible.
Hillary is finished.
Mostly. If she gets both TX and OH, she’s got a shot. An Edwards endorsement in OH, a win from momentum in TX, or a close, close second in both will seal the deal for Obama.
I’m seriously getting the feeling that Obama is going to be the nominee.
nope, we had poo-poo to do. I’ll journey to Philly or elsewhere to see him though. I think it will be very important for my ten-year old to see him.
Go get ’em Barack!
Edwards…that’s right. C’mon John. Yes We Can!
I just whispered I love you to my tv. I think he looked right at me too
I love his close!
OMG what a contrast.
Oh, that’s what it sounds like when Hillary gets her ass kicked
Holy cow, McCain has people up there with him that are older than he is.
and I just lost my chubby…
is he in a closet?
Good lord, hearing McCain after that was a shock!
Hey, what’s my grandfather doing on TV?
McCain has the undead on his side! EVERYBODY PANIC!!!!
Old man following youthful energy and hope. Wow!
Warshington?
I thought Dwight Eisenhower was dead.
oh man this awful. LMAO
how freaking horrible….
The Manchurian Candidate
The world looks good for Obama right now, but you can’t count the Clintons out til they are out. OH and TX are functionally the last stand of what exists of the Clinton Machine.
is he reading from a teleprompter?
After this weekend and tonight, OH and TX are starting to look pretty good for Obama.
I keep looking at the scrolls. Obama didn’t just win tonight. He crushed!
is he reading from a teleprompter?
No, he doesn’t have his glasses on.
Cass- agreed. They are fighters and they won’t go quietly into that dark night.
McCain needs to stop reading from a teleprompter — this is making him look more like Uncle Jun every day.
is he reading from a teleprompter?
yes.
Obama may have been as well.
*clapclapclap*YAAAAY… BRAAAINS!*clapclapclap*
HOPE? oh my…here he goes, the POW stuff
McCain’s speech is the sound of America turning off their TVs.
75 – 24 in DC. Nice.
I’m waiting for him to start feeding his young with the acorns packed in his cheeks.
jas,
you think? where was one in Wilmington?
Yes LG — and they are fighting, for their inevitability still, which I think means that they are about to get lethal.
Blink, blink, blink, grin. That is as anoying as Chimpy’s smirk.
I was a POW
Joe LMAO still laughing
Do we have assisted living facilities in the White House?
He just looks crazy. AND he is gonna take the “down with hope” tact.
As for the Clinton’s: Remember The Sage Words of Nicole Dursey.
We are 10 points down in every state. In TX they happen to be ten points down, but they are used to it.
I actually didn’t catch Obama’s speech… mom’s resolved to ban politics from the household for the time being. Too many fights. I’ll catch it on YouTube soon enough.
Nemski – is that true?
mat,
you can’t kick your mom’s ass?
Mat, what’s up with that?
Now it looks like everyone on the rostrum is reading along.
NO it’s not, he is parrotting McCain lol
he ran to Canada
lg, is what true?
DV:
I could, but I’m taking the high road and waiting for her to swing first ;-).
No, i wasn’t an POW. I didn’t serve, but I respect all that have.
I thought you were saying you were a POW…
Metaphor time on speeches:
Clinton – the melody of a carbon drill
Obama – a rock concert
McCain – a WASP nest
Olbermann just slammed McCain
I think Matthews admitted Obama gave him a chubby
Olberman: new rule. always speak befor Barack Obama. Nver after Obama.
Geek:
She’s a Clinton supporter. And a vehement Obama hater. After much mockery, we just got into flat-out yelling matches. It’s just for the best that the house remains Independent for now.
Granted, when he won Iowa, I was blasting “We Are The Champions” through the floors. I plan to do it again if he gets the nod.
“Olberman: new rule. always speak befor Barack Obama. Nver after Obama.”
LOL
Better watch it, Mat. She’s a woman, and they have ways to kill you slowly without you even know that they are doing it. Have someone taste your food.
you know you are pathetic when….
You are not wanting to mess with your mom, Mat, until you’ve gotten grad school paid for.
And she is still holding the keys to your car, right?
DC 89%
Obama 76%
Clinton 24%
MD 4%
Obama 68%
Clinton 30%
VA 94%
Obama 63%
Clinton 36%
Is that why she made you come home early from the Obama party?
Oh, don’t you worry. Tonight was burgers. Dad uses the grill. He’s an Obama man. I will live on another day.
68 in MD is awesome.
Cassandra:
In all seriousness, I love my mom. This was just a move towards peace.
How is it that the party hacks are so vehement against McCain but he still gets the votes?
This is probably the wrong place to ask this, but is the Republican party so far removed from their people?
well hillary is winning texas and ohio so you might not 😉
I love your mom too
From the NYT:
The lopsided nature of Senator Barack Obama’s parade of victories on Tuesday gives him an opening to make the case that Democratic voters have broken in his favor and that the party should coalesce around his candidacy.
meta comment:
we broke 100 comments on three separate threads tonight.
Can you be anti-hope? That’s Al Mascitti’s take as well.
God dammit, I need to start consolidating these….
Geek:
I left the party early because I had to walk the neighbor’s dog and go to school the next day, which sucked, because it was incredible there. Sorry I missed you! Tim told me you showed up, and I saw your interviews. Good stuff. I’ll catch you at another event, I’m sure (let’s say early November?).
Does it count if you me and DV were 200 of them?
“Hillary is knocking on the window saying Hey guys, I’m still out here.”
hehehe
“I love your mom too”
Well played.
DV, you leave his Mom alone. We know about you.
I kid.
I think DL is well positioned for the general election.
Maybe McCain should have Brokaw deliver his speeches.
i take what’s given my man
Mat, I’ll see you on Primary night for Governor.
Maybe McCain should have Brokaw deliver his speeches.
marble mouth over marble mouth?
Allright, I gotta work tomorrow.
G’night!
getting rid of bad democrats…is it happening in MD?
the field and has been reporting some good numbers from the precincts that have reported. Cautious optimism…
Stoller calls in to tell me that they have two precincts in. Montgomery County #521 which went 59% to 35% for Wynn last time, went 508 votes to 167 this votes this time around for Edwards.
Also, Prince Georges County 13-13 which went 60% to 38% in favor of Wynn last time, was 415 (Edwards) to 432 (Wynn) this time.
Can it happen here?
Very good point about the discrepancy on age between Obama and McCain
Later Joe!
good night all time to go pee on Nemski’s lawn
cya Joe.
Upcoming:
2/19: Hawaii, Wisconsin
3/4: Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont
3/8: Wyoming
3/11: Mississsippi
Looking forward to it, Geek.
‘night Johnboy.
‘night DV
nite DV
nitey-nite!
Thanks Nemski – I was just wondering about that.
Nemski, I think I’m going to get that on the front page…
But I’m not staying up for the Hawaii results, that’s for sure. Polls close at 1AM EST.
Good night everybody!
night mrs. marshall
Thanks for making DL your choice for live blogging results Rebecca.
Nite all, lots of fun, but best of all was the huge spanking Hillary got.
Night Cassandra.
Later Nemski.
mmmmm….Nora.
Obama won with white catholics union guys. The lesson: white catholics union guys want to win in November.
You got that right LG
Or they are tired of white women ordering them around… 🙂
Lol!
I’m out on that note.
Cheers!
Nora was the brunt of a joke earlier. I’ll not rehash it now…
Last!
500 comments on these threads tonight. Nice.
Oddly. The last two threads each had 160 comments.
D’oh!
always with the last word…
Yep.
Ha! I’ve been watching for just that kind of crap!
You win.
Unless I set my alarm for 3:00 am.
Hmmm……..?
argh!
No bedtime story from DonHoni??? Turn on the nightlight………….
what do you want to hear sexy?
