The Indiana election thread.

MSNBC just changed the IN race from "too early to call" to "too close to call".

LOL...that's one bad mutha.

[Dan J 277]

MSNBC just changed the IN race from "too early to call" to "too close to call".

If Lake county go with similar margins favoring Obama as Marion county, its going to get really close.

[Heracles 417]

I like how Obama says in his speeches voting for McCain is like voting for a 3rd term of Bush.

The guys is such a lawyer. He seriously spins in better than I have seen someone spin it in years..

Edited May 7, 2008 by Boo-Yah!

[Dan J 277]

Still no Lake county, and the margin has dropped to 4.7% This is with 71% reporting.

[Dan J 277]

The actual margin at this point 3.23% with 78% reporting. I think it could get at least to 3% before the night is over, if not less.

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

So he wins NC and perhaps comes close to breaking even in IN. Not bad. Still too early to post my ding dong the witch is dead thread though.

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Hillary to speak soon, from Indianapolis....

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Still too early to post my ding dong the witch is dead thread though.

Clearly, Obama beat expectations today. Hillary is done.

Have some courage and lets see that ding dong thingy.

Gore: Race Will Be Settled Before Convention

May 06, 2008 2:24 PM

ABC News' Teddy Davis and Rick Klein Report: Count Al Gore among those who don't think the Democratic primary race will go all the way to the convention.

Appearing Tuesday on National Public Radio's "Fresh Air," the former vice president held out the possibility of making an endorsement in the race -- but predicted that superdelegates will tip the race to either Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., or Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-NY, before the Democratic National Convention in Denver this August.

"Even though it has gone on much longer than is normal in the age of primaries and caucuses, nevertheless I think the odds are overwhelming that it will tip rather decisively in one way or the other before the convention even meets," Gore said.

He said he does not anticipate having to help broker a solution to the Democrats' stand-off.

"I'm not anxious to be playing the role of party elder," he said. "I just turned 60 -- which is the new 59. So I'm just a voter and recovering politician."

"My purpose is not endorsing a candidate is not elaborate. I'm simply watching and listening to the campaign," he added. "As a delegate to the convention I will cast my vote at the proper time. I haven’t ruled out making an endorsement prior to that time, but I haven’t been moved to do so. . . . I have respect for both candidates, and they both have strengths, and I’m simply listening and watching like a lot of people."

Gore said the Democratic Party's system of awarding votes to superdelegates "probably . . . should be examined," and said he's confident that the disputed delegations from Florida and Michigan will be seated at the convention, though he didn't say how.

On the possibility of a split Democratic Party this Fall, he said: "I would not underestimate the healing power" of the desire to win.

Gore can't change anything. Mark my words, she will not give up. She will try any ploy to hang on. She will challenge the credential commitee. She will try to get FL and MI seated. She will twist SD arms and promise them favors if she wins. I am not saying she will win, in fact I think McCain has a better shot in beating Obama, but she will not stop and will continue.

Mark my words, she'll have an opportunity to bow out gracefully and with dignity or the party will send her on her way. This will happen rather soon. Watch the remaining supers fall in line behind the nominee of the Democratic Party - for the record: his name is Barack Obama - starting tomorrow morning. In fact, he already picked one up tonight.

I agree with you Gary she is not going away and is not going to back down.

We will see. I bet we will still be having this conversation this time next month.
