Election Update
Posted on February 20th, 2008 by ecthompson
I reposted this thang to see if it will update automatically like it was advertised. (it did update as advertised!!!)
Update includes Maryland, Virginia and DC. Wisconsin and Hawai’i
Obama has taken Washington State, Nebraska and Louisiana. His victories have been overshadowed by Mike Huckabee refusing to go away. Huckabee has taken Kansas and Louisiana. Washington State is still too close to call with McCain, Huckabee and Ron Paul splitting the votes into thirds.
Here are the latest delegate counts (these counts are changing so check back often):
I was at the Obama rally in Houston last night. I’ll be making a post on this rally tomorrow for WTO? readers. But I can tell you now it was a big happy crowd of energetic people. It filled up the whole NBA basketaball arena where it was held.
It was both fun and of substance.
Great! Please share your insider views. It looks like Obama has resonated with the electorate and re-energized the tedium that is politics.
Those of us in states that have not voted in primaries yet feel left out, I tell ya. Maybe we’ll get to be the deal breakers down the road.
Onward!
McCain for PRESIDENT!!!!
So, BJ -
Why do you want John McCain to be president? I’m looking forward to your answer.
Why do you want Barack Hussein Obama to be president? I’m looking forward to your answer.
Democrats stand for higher taxes, bigger Federal government, We the people to the republic. Folow your head, read up and not just those liberal blogs you have been reading and maybe you will understand what is really going on. Power to the people is the Republican party, Who freed teh slaves Not democrats, who has long time member of senate and KKK in their party? Not Republicans, who is not giving into terrorism, you guessed it Not the Republicans. Like Bush ir not he sticks to his guns, is not a John Kerry flipflopper and stands up for what he believes in, can not fault a man for that haves some balls you liberal sheep

I ask you to read my blog. I have spoken on numerous occasions at what I like about Barack Obama.
Democrats stand for higher taxes? What Democrats are you talking about? Wasn’t Bill Clinton who submitted the last balanced-budget? Wasn’t it also Bill Clinton who reduce spending and produced the only surplus we’ve seen in the last 30 years in this country.
80% of the deficit that we now bear in this country were created by three presidents, who were they? If your answer was Bush, Reagan and Bush, then you are 100% correct.
We’re led to believe that tax cuts would fix the economy. What happened? President George Bush got his tax cuts. The median income over the last eight years has been stagnant. It has yet to rise above the year 2000 levels. Whereas, under Bill Clinton, a Democrat president, median income increased significantly in the last four years of his presidency. Americans were clearly better off when he left office and when he came in. (There’s a lot of discussion on the Internet and on these pundit shows about the definition of better off. My definition is that your money goes farther and you are able to do more with your money.)
Donald Byrd wants a member of the KKK. He has renounced that membership. We’ll look at the Republican Party — there’s a reason they’re not many blacks in the Republican Party. Isn’t there? When you look at the Republican Party and the policies that they have implemented over the last eight years, none of them are friendly to minorities. Bush’s tax cuts and for minorities as he is cut funding for programs that help minorities get out of poverty. Wasn’t it Trent Lott who said voting for Strom Thurmond and his Dixiecrat party was something that Republicans were proud of? Talking about racism!
Wasn’t the Republican Party that opposed busing? Wasn’t it a Republican Party that opposed racial integration and the change of the late 60s and early 70s? Not only did the Republican Party oppose racial integration, it was written into their platform.
I’ve talked about John Kerry before. He is a true war hero which most Republicans seem to forget. Most Republicans seem to never understand that the Swift boat veterans for truth, have been proved conclusively to be a group of liars. None of the accusations that they threw at John Kerry were true. The Boston Globe extensively researched John Kerry’s history. Also, the Army extensively researched John Kerry’s history. Both the Army and the Boston Globe came to the same conclusions.
Thanks for your comments.
