PRIMARY RESULTS TONIGHT FOR THE CHESEAPEAKE STATES...
***************************
First Off you need to know that my little neighborhood of Old Houses and Apartments has been wrestling hard with Winter Storms wiht Sub Zero Temps, Icey Weather, and Winds, and it did a number on Our Modem Hub- and 100's in my Little neighborhood were without Internet- or spotty internet, and spotty cable ( and cellphone troubles too). This all added up to Many Hours offline and Frustation. My Apologies....
While We await the Results tonight.
Some Reading:
(1) Do go to Huffpost and read about Hillary's MONEY troubles- I think they are more severe than we know, and have been apparently bad since Iowa. Also do read all the articles about her "new" Campaign Manager Maggie Williams. I think this is a HUGE issue that for some reason the Media is Barely touching....Do we really want Someone in office who can LOSE their Campaign Warchest on less than 4 weeks ? Please do read up on Ms.Williams she has a long history of being there to clean up messes from the Clinton Whitehouse years.
(2) In Cleveland Ohio there is a Debate Planned By NBC on 2.26.08, she is refusing to commit ( and yet a week ago she was demanding a debate a week). The Debate for Texas has been ALL planned- and is Feb 21st, and is on CNN and will be translated to Spanish and there will be a "CNN actor" as "moderator" for the debate ( this was announced on CNN today, I don't know what that means). She "says" that it is because of Shuster's "comments" , but I think she did not want to face HARD questions by Russert or Brian Williams.
Or maybe she does not want to come to OUR part of Ohio, since she does not think that the Urban environment will be favorable to her. I find it despicable that she won't come and Answer Questions in my adopted State, I wonder if she has written off my State like she did Louisiana ? and South Carolina. There are MANY Working Class Families that have lost Job Security, Jobs and Work, and HOMES , and Also more than 200 Military Men and Women have been lost in Iraq. There are Hard Questions that could be answered in Front of these Good People.
(3) Obama ads are running here in Ohio, about his mother and her death of Cancer, it is a really good ad, I will try to Link in title tonight.
(4) BLOGS THAT ARE COVERING OBAMA IN AN AMAZING WAY FROM THE LEFT
REMEMBER THIS...He is doing well with the numbers, the 20 States that he has won- he has WON WELL.
I will be posting ALL results on Comments Thread during the night.
**{{{TO OBAMA'S PLANNING PEOPLE , IF HILLARY DOES NOT WANT TO MEET FOR A DEBATE- AND THE WOLSTEIN ARENA IS ALREADY RESERVED PLEASE THINK ABOUT ASKING OBAMA TO SPEAK ANYWAYS, THIS IS A GREAT VENUE AT CSU AND PEOPLE WOULD LINE UP TO SEE HIM...}}}**
Keep the Faith. HAVE HOPE.

I am still trying to get the Obama messege about Healthcare to link- it is an ad that is airing here about his mom...it is really good I will post later tonight. I am STILL having Posting problems...Hopefully I will get it fixed soon.
In the meantime the Link to the Title is " Obama: ONE Nation....this is another messege that will be airing....It is really a great video. LOOK at the Aerials and the Crowds how mixed they are- all kinds of people....and thousands....connecting to Obama and his messege.
I saw that healthcare ad(Of course you know that since you sent it to me, and it is indeed very powerful
Nice to have you back Enigma.
I think we have the beginnings of a sweep!
Obama won Virginia!!!
This state, of the three Chesapeake states, was the Borg Queen's best hope of victory.
I guess CNN will be forced to stop fudging on their exit polling after tonight! LMAO!
Hey ALL....
By 7:27 Pm ....
I turned on the TV...
OBAMA PROJECTED WINNER IN VIRGINIA....
first numbers in, with 4% in:
18,251 ...64%
9,921......35%
66% to 33% Independents
REPUBS: 8% of the Repug Votes ( that translates to 70-26%)
8Pm
Substantial Lead in District of Columbia....
62% to 35%
Virgina Numbers:
164,833 62%
98,923 37%
8:15PM
Polls in Md have to stay open until 9:30pM due to Foul weather.
Va. and DC both perdicted to be Obama wins at this time.
8:30 PM
Va. Numbers
Obama.... 199,754....61%
Hill..........123,754.....31%
40% Votes in.
BREAKING NEWS FROM HILL CAMP RIGHT NOW:
MIKE HENRY CAMPAIGN MANAGER JUST RESIGNED...Just Now.
Va. GOP still too close to call.
Med Poll still open until 9:30 PM.
It looks like a shut out to me.
I was worried about Virginia ...and Now I have some concerns about Certain Counties in Md.- the Rural Counties and the Counties close to the Beltway...
( we have thunder and snow here- swear to god if my power goes out again- you will hear me yelling all the way there !!!!)
But Virginia and DC declared this early in the eve ?
Md. polls closing at 9:30 PM....due to crapola weather...
( McCain being declared for Va.)
( the pundits still wrestling over Delegates...I need a calculator)
Clinton's' Deputy campaign manager Mike Henry is out!
Man the lifeboats!
The Clinton campaign is taking on water!
8:45Pm
Virginia Numbers:
64% of Vote Counted.
315,605.....62% ...Obama
186,766....37%.....Hill
No Raw Numbers for DC or Maryland....( I wonder is DC also open until 9:30 PM ? Hmm, I am confused)
So the DC projected perdictions must have been based on Exit Polls..
I think the hatred towards Hillary is more than from the right. Nobody wants Terry Montgomery or any of the other Clinton hacks back.
I am hearing noise that Hillary's stranglehold on the Hispanic vote may not be as tight as we've been told.
The firing of Patti Solis Doyle, who is Hispanic, angered many in the Hispanic activist community in Texas.
This decision may backfire on the Borg Queen.
Gryphen:
I don't think it is good to have a Deputy Campaign Manager to RESIGN on a Primary Night....( actually her OTHER Campaign Manager _Patty resigned late Sat.night and cleaned out her desk Sunday night...that I guess is not a good thing either....)
Hill is suposed to speak here on MSNBC any second...
enigma...
Where are you getting your results for DC from?
MSNBC is projecting an Obama win, but they have not put any totals up yet or percent in.
Have to go and check out some other sites I visit.
God Bless.
The "Borg Queen"?
Christopher I am shocked that you are using that kind of language to describe the wife of a former President and a Senator!
Shocked that I did not think of it first that is.
You just better watch it my friend or you may find yourself "Shustered"!
Renegade:
I hear you....really....there 's big trouble in Hill land..and also her supporters.....and I do think she has been offending people .....all over. ( But I thought for sure there would be love pouring out of Va. for her)
Christopher:
I too was wondering about that;...She has been a loyal Hill supporter from a long time...and a Close friend..but today Hills' campaign have been saying that Patty is to blame...for the $$$$ problems...If she is scapegoating her...horrible.
(((If the MEDIA says one more time that WHITE WOMEN are for Hill I will have to throw up....what the heck...So WHY do they do that ...it is not fair to ANY women for the media to slice us up like a stale pie)
Gryphen,
LMAO! Resistance is futile!
G-Man..
that is Christopher own Special term of Affection for Hill...and since he has blogged this thing as well as you....it is a term that has earned him special Distinction....You both are soooo creative...
AnonP;

TURN IT ON AND TURN IT UP!!!!!

Because friends our next President is on fire!
Damn, I need to send him more money!
Amazing Speech and HUGE crowds....amazing...

Delegate Count
OBAMA: 1,223
CLINTON: 1,161
Obama's delegate advantage: 62
Stunning!
Now THAT's the delegate count we've been waiting for, Christopher! FINALLY, Obama is now ahead in total delegates, even including those waskily SUPER Delegates.
Howard Fineman just said now Clinton's strategy is down to coming in close in the remaining primaries, close enough to keep the pledged delegate count near enough so that the Super Delegates can put her over the magic #. Compare that strategy to just a couple months ago, O Annointed One!
Does anyone have a complete list of Super Delegates & contact info, and who has "committed" to whom? I think they need some contact from us.
OKAY! So, the O to H ratio tonight is:
2:1 VA, 2:1 MD, 3:1 DC
Both CNN & MSNBC cut away from Hill's speech in El Paso well before she was done (ho-hum). And the ONLY bad thing I have to say about Obama's speech in Wisconsin was having to look at the distracting big "W" on the podium (it's ok, I know it was the university of wisconsin, still ...)
ps, glad your online connection is holding up tonight Enigma!
enigma...
What an amazing turnout of Democrats turning out to vote. This is unbelievable, yet it happened.
Shit {pardon the french}but I think the Republicans goose is cooked for a long, long time.
And once again I must post a disclaimer.
That's if we have elections and were not under Martial Law.
God Bless.
The plot thickens! I read that the 2nd person to leave kind of came with the 1st person who was "reassigned", so makes sense he would bail as well. But the Hill train is coming unhitched.
Maybe Bill's loose cannon stint reminded people why they don't want the Clintons back in the White House??? I don't know why Hill would get the hispanic vote anyway???
Fran:
Patty Solis Doyle is NOT reassigned- that was Hill's words- NOPE...she is GONE...she cleaned out her desk Sunday and left a NOTE for the staff- Huff Post has all the scoop...( Patty is Hispanic- and Chris above is right the Papers in texas - border- are NOT happy)
I will have to watch Telemundo tonight...hmmmm.
( BTW Telemundo did NOT run her speech LIVE tonight).
AnonP:
HOLY SHIT !!!! It needs to be said ;-)
Unreal...Unbelievable...Something is Happening HERE.....WOW..
DK:
Thank heavens that Chris AlWAYS has the RIGHT numbers...wow...and Hill gave her SAME OLD stomp speech...( oh ho hum.....)...and I am Sooooo Glad that I am HOOKED up tonight.....I had to burn dinner and walk the dog- I will post the FINAL numbers...WOW..stunning night...DK..wow imagine if we could contact the delegates, or super delegates...I think Hill needs to really look at her strategy- so far she is NOT coming her- she is sending Bill and Chelsea to Ohio...and she does have an ad running....Okay so Vt and Hawaii and Wisconsin are up next....( Woa...this is worse than March Madness...)
enigma...
Now is the time for Edwards to come forward and endorse Barack Obama before the Texas and Ohio Primary's.
This would knock her out of the race for sure.
Good night my sweet rose....
God Bless.

Go Obama!
Kevin Rudd today, in the earth shattering sorry speech in australia used two Obama references, with a local colouring. He spoke of:
The audacity of FAITH and
A bipartisan solution.
I doubt many here would have picked up the influence or connotations, and Rudd doesn't do the grandstanding.
It is still great something so positive is being shared.
