    Man I love how these libs take their cues from dailykos and just regurgitate his talking points. Those are probably 80% of mcmark's postings. This Washington GOP 'issue' is a pure kos creation. Yawn...

    TJ, in your opinion what is going on in Washington State? Corruption? Or does it make sense to you?

    T_J doesn't really post his opinions much - just criticizes others'. There's probably a good reason for that, though. The vast majority of time he does post his opinions/predictions, he eventually gets proven wrong.

    Well it’s obvious the Obamaites have infiltrated (along with intrade) the GOP and is now setting election policy among the RNC primaries.

    Esser on Voter Suppression

    It seems like Washington state GOP chair Luke Esser and his friends are still plugging away trying to get "as close as we can to 100 percent" of the votes counted in Saturday's caucus. But it seems like Esser isn't much of a voting rights man. The folks at the Horsesass Blog dug up some of Esser's columns from his college newspaper. Here's one choice passage on the topic of people's right to vote ...

    HO HO HO!

    I am sitting here chuckling to myself at how I plan to cancel out Major's Obama vote in the Texas primary by voting for Hillaroid. Major, I will make a deal with you. If you contribute money to Clutch, which would seem reasonable, given that over a span of 11,000 posts, you have contributed less than one penny, then I will not vote for Hillary in the primary. So in other words, you can buy my non-vote. Minimum donation is $20 and I would like proof of payment.

    I think it would be amusing to see you vote for Hillary. That would provide years of entertainment on the board. I don't think Texas will be particularly close, so I'm not terribly concerned about the extra vote!

    It is hilarious that you suddenly like Hillary only because the majority of this bbs likes Obama. EXPOSED!

    Someone decided to finally poll Wisconsin, and it shows an 11 pt Obama lead (50-39). That's a great sign since he hasn't started campaigning there and it's a potential state that favors Clinton. If he can win by 15+ in all the primaries today and hold serve next week, I think it's going to become very, very difficult for Hillary.

    Man! Are all republicans this petty and vindictive? --

    With the GOP race seemingly all but locked up for McCain, some Republican voters are choosing to instead exert their influence on the outcome of the Democratic contest by voting in their primary:

    From the National Review:

    pathetic

    To be fair, Dems tried to do something similar in Michigan to keep Romney alive. I have friends here in Texas who are thinking of voting Obama in the Texas primary because they want to get rid of Clinton. In the general, they would vote McCain, but they'd rather have Obama as their worst-case situation than Hillary.

    Prelimnary indications are that Obama could win all three of today's by 20 points or more. That will give him a huge leg up in delegates.

    First poll of Ohio came out, and Clinton is up 17. So the next big step will be narrowing that gap. I think Obama has a better chance to win Texas though.

    It's one thing to joke about, but quite another to carry it out.

    Anyway exit polls in Virginia have Obama once again winning every domographic.

    Pulling in more white men, and even more women than Hillary.

    I was trying to figure out which state Obama could do better in. I don't know that he will win either state, but if he could get close in both, I think that would be great.

    The more I think about it, the more I guess I agree with you, that it will be easier to make inroads in TX, but my analysis is hardly scientific. It just has to go with the blue collar workers in Ohio and that kind of thing.

    I think Texas will be verrrrry tough for Obama. I give him some chance in Ohio. If Obama somehow wins Texas, it closes the sale for him and Hillary's campaign is cooked. But don't hold your breath.

    One caveat to the above: The momentum thing. I don't think anybody has a clue yet how much of an effect Obama's February win streak will have on March 4th. If the effect is large (which I doubt), then anything is possible.
