Thank you.

I'm tired of "Hillary as VP" talk.

Obama has earned the right to pick his own VP and he should stand up to the Democratic Pooh-Bahs who want Hillary as VP.

rikyrah:

I think Rachel was correct in saying that Hillary wants "scorched earth.

NBC calls it for Hillary in Indiana:

51% to 49% for Obama.

"Shallow point - loved the fit of Michelle's dress, not too crazy about the color"
I agree with you. The style & fit were outstanding. She looks great in Peacock Blue & other cooler colors not the hotter neons.

I'm only talking about rubbish because the Indiana-spawned anxiety is killing me. I can't breathe!!

Admiral Komack,

I agree with on Harold Ford Jr.!

He needs to just STFU!

rikyrah

Olbermann has been hilarious.

So has Rachel Maddow. ...when she said that Obama should mow down Hillpatine, I nearly choked on the dessert I was eating.

And, Chuck Todd has been giddy with his math..he's finally allowed to slam the math hammer over and over, with nobody coming back to him with bullshit scenarios that he has to play along with like they can come to reality.

N. Mahana

OMG!

I take back what I said earlier, I'm a poor elitist, so I'm going to sip my cheap merlot and celebrate!!!!

Even if she holds on by a strand in Indiana...OBAMA has won the night!!!!

There is HOPE!!!

justice58

Do you guys see Keith Olbermann tonight?

He can hardly contain himself!

ahahahahahahahahahaha

Hi Truthseeker (or anybody),
Please break it down for me. Are the absentee votes from just Lake County (which sounds high), or from Indiana in total?

If the 11,000 absentee votes are statewide, then is Lake County holding their cards so that they are in a position to crown Obama?

Ms.Martin

New Count: 51% 49%

Ms.Martin

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Thank you North Carolina.

I hope he wins Indiana so she can retract that "I broke the tie" I need more money speech.

Donna Brazile was setting folks straight tonight.

Black American Princess

Indiana is absolutely the birthplace of the Klan. Not counting Gary and Naptown, it's redneck country. That's why I was so worried about Obama winning it. But God had other plans!!!

And thanks to everyone in North Carolina, that's what's UP!

Lawd, I will be sleeping with a smile on my face tonight!

Admiral Komack

Can anyone give a good reason for Obama to have Hillary as his VP?

I don't see it.

Harold Ford needs to shut up.

Teacher

I would be so happy if Obama eeks out even the most miniscule lead in IN. They are talking about her huge debt now on MSNBC, hence, her begging in her "victory" speech. Her speech stunk. It was stupid. She is so fake. And what's up with Bill? His face looked so red on my tv, and everyone else looked normal.

Tim Russert talked about her dropping out if Obama agrees to pay off her debt. I hope he doesn't do it!!!!! Let her pay for her own dirty politics.

Harold Ford also plucks my nerves.

I don't think Hillbilly is going to campaign for Obama like the spinners think they are. And I wouldn't trust them anyway. When bill goes out to campaign,he wants to talk about what all he has done anyway. If she was his VP, I wouldn't vote for him, because to me, that would show crazy judgement.

justice58

Thank You North Carolina!

TruthSeeker

Did you guys hear Jeff Toobin? He thought it suspicious that Lake county refused to release partial results until absentee ballots were counted. It could cover up any irregularities with the count if you can't see an jump in the numbers.

rikyrah

CAN YOU FEEL IT - my own personal soundtrack...groovin' to it now, my fellow JJPers.

rikyrah

craig hickman,

Andrew Sullivan straight out calls her a sociopath too tonight.

Craig Hickman

Imagine, my people, if there was no re-emergence of Rev. Wright.

Imagine his margins of victory in both states.

Craig Hickman

Obama needs 60% of the remaining votes to win this thing!

TruthSeeker

I agree. This woman has no intention of helping unite the party. If she did she would have congratulated Obama right at the top of her speech. She would have asked her supporters to give him a round of applause.

Now, she's going to try and twist the arm of the Dems to seat FL and MI.

Unbelievable!

Craig Hickman

Hillary Rodham Nixon is a certifiable sociopath.

Craig Hickman

Lake County is late for two reasons:

1) Two polling places had to stay open way past the deadline because machines weren't turned on earlier today.

2) Voter turnout in Gary and Hammond was as big as a general election and they simply can't count the ballots fast enough. MSNBC reported that they had to bring in extra counters.

texas girl in l.a.

truthseeker,

I didn't hear it either. She didn't thank the people of NC either.

rikyrah

truthseeker,

she hasn't congratulated him publicly since Super Tuesday...why change that now?

Craig Hickman

As chair of the DLC, Harold Ford is a Clinton surrogate to be sure even though he hasn't declared support for her yet.

However, he was pushing all night for a joint ticket with Obama at the top since 7:30 when NC was called.

He wants Clinton to stop attacking Obama and bring the party together starting tomorrow.

There were also rumors a few weeks ago that if Clinton could get the nomination, he would be her runningmate in order to try to recapture the Black vote. But those were rumors at best.

TruthSeeker

Wait a sec....she didn't congratulate Obama!!!! Or did I miss it?

rikyrah

Andrew Sullivan is now being mean...but I don't care

"Full Speed Onto the White House"

She's clinical. And asking for money right up front. Hey, Mrs Moneybags. Use some of your own tens of millions

BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

texas girl in l.a.

oh my gosh truthseeker, I read that article too

may have to call in sick tomorrow because I know I will not get any sleep tonight.

I'm listening to Hillary right now. Kind of weird. She's usually on mute.

rikyrah

Obama has nearly erased her popular vote gain from Pennsylvania.

TruthSeeker

ok, here we go begging for money.

rikyrah

Got this from The Field...loved this comment:

HAHAHA. Look at that Traitor Harold Ford kissing up to Barack. I fucking love it. I LOVE IT. After all this time when he was trying to destroy Barack so he can be first.. now he’s kissing the ring.

Obama, you did it baby.. I love you.

BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

HILARIOUS.

TruthSeeker

Oh, I'm hoping!!!! Here's an article about Gary residents saying they have Obama's back.

Residents of black steel town say they've got Obama's back in Indiana vote

N. Mahana

I dunno, I still believe Clinton will pull off a win in Indiana but that was expected so I am not broken up about it. I made my phone bank calls there.

One lady said, I do not wish to share who I am voting for and she said it so icy before hanging up in my face...I thought, damn...

yeah I see. *lol*

michelle

This is why Black folks are coming out in support of Obama.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/05/06/brazile-and-begala-angril_n_100500.html

Let Begala know exactly where he can go.

Eggheads unite. Vote Obama.

rikyrah

You know folks...I think those folks in Gary are working on CPTime. This is a pattern with ' us'.

Missouri...who are the last folks to report?

St. Louis.

Virginia...who are the last folks to report?

Richmond

Ohio...who are the last folks to report?

Cleveland.

It's just CPTime...BWA HA HA HA HA HA

rikyrah

texas girl,

I do believe it is indeed the birthplace of the KKK.

texas girl in l.a.

craig,

ok. stupid question....is Indiana really the birth place of the Klan?

And yes, without rush's plan...Obama won this piece!

rikyrah

Rachel Maddow - I don't expect magamanimity from Obama to Clinton.....Once she started talking about the 'nuclear option' (my paraphasing)...

"HE HAS TO SHOVE HER OUT."

bwa ha ha ha ha ha

Thanks Rachel.

DWS

Lake County, IN is home to Hammond and Gary. Please tell me at least 40,000 folks voted for SBO so we can close this night out already!

Craig Hickman

Without operation chaos, Obama wins Indiana for sure.

Craig Hickman

The irony:

Obama could possibly win outright a primary in the birthplace of the Ku Klux Klan.

And even if he keeps it this close, it's still a victory.

texas girl in l.a.

rikyrah,

The funny thing is, I've heard a couple of pundits talk about Operation Chaos. It wasn't an issue before. No one cared. Now...

rikyrah

I do think we need to keep on talking about Operation Chaos....make this point.....these weren't genuine GOP votes for her...those were sabotage votes.

rikyrah

Oh Lord, this is my dream night. Obama wins...makes his speech....we're still waiting for the other state...oh, this is my dream outside of him winning both, this was what I could go to sleep happy with tonight.

rikyrah

Thank you Brothers and Sisters in North Carolina...of all colors...you held it down.

scruncher

300,000 votes out, Clinton ahead by only ~ 39,000.

Anyone see Donna Brazile on CNN about an hour ago? She was great!

texas girl in l.a.

This could be interesting folks. He's only down by 4%. Hey, I will take that...

DWS

Amen to that!

leneypoo

Holy crap, Obama could pull an upset in Indiana. Here's hoping!
