huge florida landslide for hillary; good it doesn't count

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

We'll be treated by another great Newsweek cover with her picture and a shitty quote like "I really found my voice this time"

None of the Democrats were allowed to campaign in Florida. Anyways, I'm glad McCain won because I'd like to have at least one candidate that doesn't disgust me if Hillary wins the nomination for the general election.

Edit:Edwards and Giuliani both dropping out today. Giuliani is endorsing McCain, no mention though who Edwards will endorse when he gives his speech at 1pm today. I really hope it's Obama, but I have a nagging feeling he'll endorse Clinton.

Edwards has said he won't endorse anyone in his speech tonight, rather that he'll just underline his issue of poverty.

Basically, he's waiting to see who echoes his campaign lines the most before he endorses them.

Even without an endorsement though, I think this can only be good for obama. I feel like alot of both Obama's and Edward's votes are anti-hillary votes.

Quote from: CNN

On the Democratic side, Tuesday's vote in Florida may have little impact on the presidential race because the party's national leadership said it would not allow the state's delegates to participate in the national convention after a squabble over scheduling the primary. The party's candidates agreed not to campaign actively in Florida

Republicans penalized the state as well but took away only half of their 114 delegates.

What's the deal with this? Someone explain.

Florida chose to have it's primary before super tuesday, so the Democratic convention chose to punish them by giving them no delegate seats. Thats the basic jest of it.

I'm not so certain whether it's good for Obama. I have a feeling that Edwards was soaking up a lot of white male voters which will now go to Hillary. It's true that Edwards is much closer to Obama, but that might not necessarily translate in an advantage for Obama.

well also I think that Obama gave up on the states that dont have any delegates because the Democratic convention stripped them of them (he lost in michigan and in florida heheh lets see if such a trend continues)

Still, if Obama wants to comfortably win on Super Tuesday, he's going to want an endorsement from Edwards.

well as I recall in the last debate that had Bill Richardson in it, Edwards kinda threw his support behind Obama when they ganged up on Hilary. He didnt seem to agree with her on much at all, so I'd be really suprised if he doesnt announce support for Obama.

Yeah I remember finding that out and being absolutely shocked. He manages to stay quite youthful looking.

yeah this. I recall (although I am not certain of exact sources so what do I know) hearing that Edwards had in the past been quite supportive of Obama

Obama needs to do better in California and New York if he wants to do well on Super tuesday.
