U.S Presidential Primary Thread - Gaming World Forums

I went on MSNBC and I don't see those numbers.
I did read an article saying Obama won more delegates tonight, and that he may be up by 4, but I still see no numbers.

THIS IS A HUGE FUCKING WIN FOR US TONIGHT.

We have been talking on SA that losing by 100 delegates would be A GOOD THING and now it looks like we are going to win by a few delegates?

Yes, Definitely agreed. I just saw on CNN that Nationally, The popular vote went Obama 47% Clinton 48%. Jesus tits!

Remember when he was down 30 points nationally? This is fucking huge you guys. Huge. Plus he has alot more $$, most of her donors were rich bitches who have maxed out in donations already. I for one am planning to double my previous donation total of $10.

Analysts are talking about how she is running against not just a candidate, but a MOVEMENT.

It's weird, all this time the cynic in me was letting me know that I would probably feel silly hoping so much he would win, and now, if he keeps 1/2 of the momentum he has right now, those hopes will be realised.

So Clinton's winning California. They're 53% - 37% right now. Since Edwards is still on the ballot (why doesn't he officially drop out?) he gets 8% too. This is with 31% in. Note how 55% of the voters are female.

Clinton will take Cali, every poll has said this.

this is still an Obama "victory" as an SA poster put it:

Quote

Obama won in states where he wasn't expected to perform well. He carried Southern states, he'll probably take New Mexico, he did win a Northeastern state, he got a 60/40 split in Hillary's Senatorial state (a closed primary, for that matter), he might not get obliterated in California, and he grabbed nearly 40 percent of female voters.

Obama is favored in the next round of primaries too!

Yeah, I don't expect him to win California, but maybe this isn't the final demographic we're seeing here, so maybe the margin will become a little bit smaller later on. It's unfortunate that now Clinton is able to claim a moral victory for tonight, despite that not being true.

What you say is true, though, because Obama's been going up and Clinton's been going down. Obama will have to make up for those 100+ delegates in the next round.

EDIT: why is Arkansas so stupid?

I emailed the only Superdelegate from my state that hasn't declared (governor john lynch) with a long plea for his support at the convention.

I hope the rest of you do the same for your state's superdelegates

At least Obama has caught up some in California. He was at about 30% when they had 1% reporting. Now he's at 39% with 49% reporting.
Nothing huge, but at least it's not a blow out.

Well, there's still 50% to report - the California margin could close considerably considering most of the non-reporting areas are major urban centers like L.A.

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.
