Did Hilary camp darken Obama pic to make him blacker? www.breitbart.com
count every vote equally? how quaint....the most liberal Democratic US Senator has a chance of carrying Texas in November? Darn, did I miss the free Kool Aid agin'?
Texas 'two step'....more Democratic Party nomination process 'democracy'!!! Remember Florida 2000, Remember Ohio 2004, Remember the 2008 Democratic Party nomination process ...milestones in the onward march of the "Count Every Vote" democracy movement.....
Texas two step! That's so cute! How about naming the next segment: Texas Hold Em for texas prisons?
Gary, if you've ever been to Texas, Texans are VERY similar to New Yorkers, and there's a huge amount of New Yorkers there. your donation dollars at work.
ab,
their message - same
her bad strategy - yes
his electability - this country will not be voting for a black man in the fall. don't shot the messenger. don't let yourself be too let down. he can try again.
ab,
I accept that Senator Clinton's campaign has made mistakes. What I don't accept is that Senator Obama would make a good president.
As a former Texan, it seems to me that asking the typical Texan which Democrat they prefer, the black man or the woman, is like asking my three-year-old daughter which vegetable she prefers, beets or creamed spinach.
hjs,
A "republican planted spoiler"...as in a vast republican conspiracy to have him elected senator as a dem so he could run in the 2008 election?
uhhhh...yeah....a humongous leap.
Why is it that Hillary supporters can't accept...that she's losing due to her bad strategy and message? Her campaign just made a lot of mistakes....a lot of mistakes...
Ron Paul is still a candidate,, and he's from texas. Please don't ignore his supporters like nearly every other media outlet.
Why is "New York Public Radio" sending reports to Texas?
I was told that republicans will be showing up (since everyone is welcome in the primaries) and will be voting Hillary to throw it so that mccain will win.
Ugh texas politics are wretched.
obama does better in red states. Is it a leap to think obama is a republican planted spoiler who will not win in the fall.
If I hear the term "Texas Two Step" to describe this primary again...
These Texas stories are inane!
