Obama's Got the Nomination on Lock -- Good-Bye Hillary!

Bye-bye Hillary! I think y'all are ignoring the facts about Obama. He won in Iowa (98% white state). He now has a 10-point lead over Hillary going into the NH primary on Tues. Also, he will win S Carolina's primary which is right after NH. That kind of momentum is unstoppable. Hill will prolly quit the race b4 long. Obama will secure the Dem nomination.

He may offer the second spot to Hillary...but, she'll most likely decline. He will then offer it to Edwards -- who will most likely accept.

Y'all need to trust the Kid on all of this -- I know what's up.

Peep this:

Not so fast Kid. White in the voting booth are different than Whites in the audience professing to support the man.

 

If America can elect a 'buffon'...then it sure as muthafukin' hell can elect an highly intelligent Afr-Am man to the presidency.

Case closed.

we will all see, if Obama get the nod....I would vote for him if he gets it

 

Not so fast. Bush might very well be an idiot, but he's still a moron that white America voted for in the face of two previous candidates who were/still are far more knowledgeable.

I like Barack. But he still is a brotha running for prez in a very racist country we have.

 

I'm not as optimistic. I think America may just pass on this Afr-Am man for the same reason as it elected the baffon. That is the fact that voters are superficial and easily distracted by manipulative negative campaigning. If Obama is nominated, expect the Republican's old "Southern Strategy" to come back on steroids. Race baiting political campaigns have worked well in the past, and while I'd like to say they wouldn't work today, I'm not that optimistic.

 

True indeed. I use the examples of California,Washington State,and now Louisiana. In those states those whites voted for another minority rather than a Black man:Armenian,Asian,and South Asian.

 

Well said, people.

 

LOL...... that should be capitalized....#42...Bill Clinton...#43...The Buffoon....#44...Barack Obama

 

Barack is an absolutely amazing public speaker. Ironically enough, probably the best candidate at drawing people into what he is saying since Bill Clinton.

 

He is well positioned career-wise too. If he does lose the nomination, he can run again next time without looking foolish. The same can't be said for Hillary. This is her one shot. If she doesn't get it, that's it.

 

The momentum is in Obama's favor. At this point, he's ahead of Hillary in Iowa and S. Carolina...and tied with her in Hew Hampshire. All these early state caucases/primaries determine who the ultimate Dem nominee is.

Well...2nite's da night 4 Obama. Will he win in Iowa??? If he does, it will most likely propel him to victory in the other early primary states. From there, it's the Dem nomination. Then, the general election...which I believe will take Obama to the White House.

I just heard Obama was projected the winner of the Iowa Caucuses. I don't know if that is a good sign or not, since there is still plenty of time before the election.

 

Man. Congratulations to Sen. Barack Obama. I thought he'd come in third on some shit but he won - and by 8 or more points or something. Of course, Iowa isn't representative of the whole nation but it sure is a great start.

So much for the bullshit about young people not participating in the elections. In fact, that was the group that won the caucus for Obama.

 

Good point, since it's sometimes easier to portray yourself as the underdog who is just 'fighting the good fight.' Being ahead early for Hilary seems to have backfired...but it's early.

 

[personal opinion]
Sadly, I don't think America is ready for a Black president . Come to think of it, who will become Obama's running mate? Hillary? No way, she been to close to executive government and won't settle for anything less. John Edwards? I think not -- hes already done the running mate thing with Kerry (remember?)

I think a Hillary and Obama ticket stands the best chance, but I won't mind one bit if McCain wins. He's one republican I can more than tolerate (keep Giuliani away from me).
[/personal opinion]

 

I think a Clinton/Obama ticket would be a stronger combo. I agree mainstream America isn't ready for a black president, but I think a black vp would be agreeable to a larger vote, and Obama is so likable.

 

You got that right. Like I had mentioned in the past White America is not ready for a Black President because of the heavy baggage of slavery. Also White America does not want Blacks to be in real powerful places like Governor or Senator. I can count them with my fingers the Blacks who had those positions between 1865 to 2008:7.

 

I respect your opinion, but let me say this, it puzzles me when people make the comment you just made "I don't think America is ready for a Black president". That same line was used during the civil rights movement, and throughout history when a change was necessary, the same old lame line, America isn't ready for XY and Z. I never understood what that means, and exactly who is considered America? Are you referring to all whites, if not which gender or age bracket of whites are we talking about here?

Obama won in a state where there are virtually no blacks at all, Iowa is 95% white I believe. I'm sure people like you would've written him off to lose the Iowa caucus as well.lol Are you even aware that 60% of Americans (all races included) don't vote? Which is precisely why things haven't & don't change, however the democrats (mainly Obama) are tapping into that percentage that don't vote, which is usually the youth. Obama won last night largely because of the HUGE youth turn out and also because of women. Hilary was projected to carry over with women voters, but that did not happen for whatever reasons, instead they voted for Obama.

Huckabee relied primarily on the same old republican song and dance, the evangelist and the older generation. However that will not win him the election, especially if the democrats can do what they did in Iowa, which is tap into that huge 60% of non voters, the youth and women voters. Look, I know that racism exist and it’s alive and well throughout this country, however I also know that race isn't an issue or agenda for all Americans. There is nothing we can do about the racist, and all other assorted rejects, they will ALLWAYS BE HERE, they were here in the past, they are here now and they will damn sure be here in the future, so why dwell on them. If America isn't ready for a black president now, then there will never be a black president, again, the racist aren't going anywhere.lol But make no mistake, that there is a huge segment of society on the rise who are eager and ready for change and will do whatever it is possible to see that change happen.
