    Hillary has more popular votes than does Obama. This is fact. Yet somehow, it is over? Interesting analysis...

    Are you saying Al Gore should have been declared the winner in 2000?

    Gore: 50,996,116 votes
    Bush: 50,456,169 votes

    Looking forward to it. Either way, America wins. Both are excellent candidates and a far cry from the neocons that have ruled the white house the last 8 years.

    Yet, Obama got no popular votes from Michigan.

    "I honor John McCain's many accomplishment's, even if he chooses to ignore mine."

    Ouch.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, a typical Hillary supporter.

    You really are ignorant. No stop comedy from you today.

    Uhm, I think most Hillary supporters greatly respect Obama, think of him as a great candidate and plan on voting for him. I'm one of them. There are a few nutjobs, sure, but to generalize and/or call it "typical" is just wrong.

    I was being sarcastic. T_J is just comedy today.

    But still, did you notice the difference in the crowds? When Obama was mentioned in Clinton's speech, some boos and Denver chants erupted. When Clinton was mentioned in Obama's, it was cheers.

    I couldn't disagree more. Bush's primary failure has been in foreign policy. This is where Mccain and Bush are most alike.

    I'm an Obama dude, but you gotta admit it's easy to be a good sport when you won.

    bwahahahaha.

    It must be a lonely day in Replicanland when your only comeback is rhetoric from Clinton. Oh how the winds have changed.

    bwahahahhha.

    That's rich. You've made my night..

    I heard a number of boos from the Obama crowd for Clinton, but fortunately those cheering did a great job of largely drowning them out.

    There's also, you know, what Zac said. :)

    This is going to be a major issue with McCain, who must find a way to dissociate himself from Bush's foreign policy without looking like a flip-flopper. He's got 5 months.

    Anyone else think McCain's speech today was terrible? He looked really uncomfortable..

    I was surprised by how weak McCain's speech was and how well Hillary spoke.
