gee, it kinda offends me when you regard me as a latino.
Probably because I dont consider myself latino, don't look latino, and because my ancestors are from europe.
Probably also because I come from the most european of the southamerican countries.
When I think of Argentina I dont think latino. But I do think latino when thinking of colombia, venezuela or mexico.
Strangely enough I don't think of Brazil as latino either.

Just curiosities of my head.

Man, I am really scared shitless right now from all the news commentary that Clinton is going to pull out a narrow victory.... all the political analysts are saying "Obama has been cutting the leads short.... BUT BUT BUT..... hillary wins"

well, more than likely Hillary will win more states. However in most of the states the difference looks like it will be so insignificant the delegate count will be rather even.

the next several primaries coming up however, are heavily favored for Obama and he could pull ahead then

Yeah, but he was expected to win that. Good news, definitely, but it would be way sweeter if it was a contested state.

Still waiting word on how many percentage points/delegates he won by.

EDIT: Fromm CNN.com

Quote

Early results showed Obama with a 2-1 lead over rival Hillary Clinton in the first state to close its polls.

Apparently projections show Obama winning 60 of the 87 delegates of Georgia.

edit: That's three times more than expected. He also got 43% of the white vote as opposed to his ~20% in South Carolina. Things are looking good for Obama!

That couldn't be three times as much, or else he would only win 20 delegates, and hillary would win.

Your an ass!

Someone doesn't understand how to correctly present what they are thinking then. No one could look at that and not think 20 delegates. I will give you a chance to explain what you really meant, your welcome.

yes if huckabee wins several states it could re-clusterfuck the gop race. (kind of, mccain will still be in the lead but Huckabee could become a viable alternative for the Limbaugh-esque conservatives who hate McCain)

Holy shit this is close...

MA: Clinton 45%Obama 45%
CT: Obama 49%Clinton 48%
NJ: Obama 49%Clinton 48%
TN: Obama 49%Clinton 48%
AL: Obama 49%Clinton 48%
OK: Clinton 51%Obama 22%

Edit: Not the full results, but this is what they are SO FAR.

Obviously Obama won Illinois.
Clinton is going to win New York though, so they kind of cancel out.

Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Jersey are the ones to watch. Obama is already tied in three states that Clinton had an almost 20 point lead in two weeks ago.

What would suck is if he won and did a shitty job.

Ahahaha, yeah, that's the number one thing that I would be afraid of. I mean, most people thought Bush was a good president until around 2002-2003ish. No matter what anyone's policies are right now, their approval ratings will eventually drop before the end of their term and we might even end up despising them. And then we'll say, "lol, who elected this guy?" like we do with Bush now. The worst thing is that if one of the two Democratic front runners got into office and ended up doing not-so-well, it'll set this horrible precedent against change in the United States.

Clinton Wins New Jersey+ Massachussetts.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Still though, obama is doing 40+%. And like they have been saying, no way it's over tonight, and the next primaries held after today are tilted in obama's favor.

Plus, there is still california.
