he cheats with his winning

Obama Is President Of Wyoming!

Cheney Country.It's too early to project a winner, etc., so Barack Obama has won the Wyoming Caucus 59%-40 with all but five caucus locations reporting out of 23. Nobody knows how many delegates, super delegates and "underwater space delegates" Wyoming has to offer, although many experts suggest 12 delegates were up for grabs today at the caucus. Did you know Obama wins these caucus contests by his secret cheating and mind control? It's true! [Reuters/Bloomberg]

  • Can somebody drop out now ... pretty please?

  • I know he gets some delegates out of this, but I see no reason to really celebrate winning a caucus that all six Democrats in the state attended.

  • Obama 08 - Death by a Thousand Cuts

  • maybe somebody whose name begins with Hillary?

  • @Godless Liberal: likewise, i don't see reason for Hillary to celebrate winning states that would vote for a used condom for president as long as it had a (D) by its name.

  • ding dong the witch is dead. somebody please pour some water on hillary so she can finally melt away forever.

  • @BreakTheTerror: But you know good and well she will, because without them she would be behind in delegates with no hope of catching up, and only a flailing chance at winning the nomination.

    Oh, wait.

  • @BreakTheTerror: The used condom would, at least, have undeniable experience.

  • Hillary's foreign policy "experience":

  • @Godless Liberal:

    oh, snap.

    love it.

  • oh and the em eye ess ess whatever on tuesday

    barack by 6 to 14 points

    not that i'm gloating.

  • whatever you gahs, Hillary's three-state winning streak was awesome, and all she had to do was lie about NAFTA and answer the phone on TV.

  • @BreakTheTerror: But they are big states with big condoms. Besides, silly person, everybody knows that only Dems use condoms. Republicans dont have to, because underage boys can't get pregnant.

  • Obama must kill any suggestion that he is willing to accept a dual ticket with Hillary on top. Today, both Bill and Hillary kept floating that idea out there, and it could cause some drift with undecideds.

    OBAMA MUST DESTROY ANY SPECULATION THAT HE WILL TAKE A VP SLOT. He must!!!

    Many of us would be incredibly disenchanted if he did. My support would be dead.

  • @raleighbull: Tap water, Spring!, or Aquafina?

  • Wyoming doesn't count as a state today because Obama won it.

    But it goes back to counting when their total half million population has 2 Senators whom Hillary is proud to proclaim as ready to be co-Commanders In Chief unlike Barack Obama who was born 6 years ago when he gave a speech and then went selling coke for Tony Rezko and the Taliban.

  • He did the Monster Mash.

  • Yahoo, Bro! Bro? Brother? Sister?
    Hellooo . . .


  • 2 Republican Senators I meant to say, because Wyoming ain't some danged fancy pants latte-sippin' big 75 cent word state except when it turns into a majority of Obama supporters who are the Wyoming Ey-leets, but it will go back to being real by tomorrow.

  • Who knew Wyoming was so full of latte sipping, Volvo driving, highly educated, high income, suburban, white collar, liberal activists? It's practically the San Francisco of the Rockies.

  • Sybil, can Concession Speech Hillary come out now?

  • @Pupster: He must do more than that. He must kill the idea that he will even HAVE a vice president, much less serve as one or have Hillary as his. His line of succession will be:

    Barack Obama
    ____________
    Nancy Pelosi

  • Per the county map, the Shoshone and Arapaho tribes are taking Obama straight to the Whitehouse.

  • He's kind of hot in the hat.Just keep him off a horse unless he can ride as well as Kitty.

  • @BoHan:

    Now, to make this statement clear for any Republicans lurking, no, "Shoshone" and "Arapaho" are not Muslim names.

    Nor are they Mexican names.

  • @Canuckledragger:

    And if underaged boys COULD get pregnant, the Republican party would switch on abortion so fast...

  • Nancy P. must get something done besides her 6 month visits to her botox doc, to be considered still alive.

  • @Godless Liberal: Dude, I know you're joking, but Obama/Webb '08 is so kick-ass, I can't wait to see ol' McCain's face melt off (like in Raiders of the Lost Ark) when Webb gives him the stone-eye.

  • Yeeeeha! Round ém up, Deadwood Dick!

  • She will never, ever drop out of the race because this election is hers! Don't you know that?! Hers!

    Geez, I'm so tired of having to vote for the better behaved of two toddlers every four years!

  • Photobucket

  • @Pupster: There are a whole lot of potential vee-pees for Obama that would be leagues above Clinton, whose only real contribution would be name recognition and sending voters screaming to McCain for comfort and reassurance.

  • @BreakTheTerror: But she never answered it! It's still ringing in my nightmares.

  • Bubba's in the burgh. He called his wo-man a "changemaker." Changeling is more like it. The monster.

  • Yipikaye Mo Fo's!

  • Did someone say ... MONSTER?

  • Or perhaps she gives you change for your contribution. Buy her into office and she'll give you a contract worth millions back in change.

  • Obama widens his lead by two delegates. But it is a teeny tiny state, and everyone knows that it's the teeny tiny states that decide elections, so in the general this fall, Obama has that going his way at least. Woo hoo party!

  • @Destonio: I respect your o-pin-yun.

  • @Godless Liberal:

    The goal is to get more delegates than your opponent. Hillary "won" Texas by 4 delegates. That's not counting the caucus delegates, where Barack will win more than Hillary. Barack won Wyoming by 4 delegates and by doing so essentially negated Hillary's "win" in Texas.

  • @Pupster:

    I agree.

  • @Pupster: In an interview yesterday he said that he is not running for VP and that this isn't an option.

  • AP: In another "kitchen sink" attack, Clinton campaign releases damaging evidence suggesting Obama's political ties with Scientology. David Miscavige releases transcripts with key Obama advisor who pillories against psychology; reveals candidacy is a front to ban Ritalin and hasten War on Engrams.

  • Suck it, Billary!

  • Get your gloves out...

    On MSNBC today Air America's Rachel Maddow said that her sources told her the super delegates will not follow the country's decision. She said it was a waste of time to continue voting. Mark Green, AA's powerfully wealthy and DLC insider previously said as much.

    What the super delegates better see:
    1. Democratic turnout in Florida was below the Republicans, and only ran at 38% of Democratic voters. 50,000 Independent votes were lost.
    2. Fox did a detailed report on Baracks 'Big White Win in Wyoming". 59% to 40%ibn in about 29 districts.
    In areas where Hillary's 'base' lived and where she won , caucus turnout was terrible. In every other part of the state where Barack won, turnout was massive.

    It's Barack stupid!

  • @Munkles: I thought FloriDUH, Ohio and DIEBOLD decided elections.

  • Rep. Stephen King (R [Complete rightwing lunatic asshat]-Iowa) sez that if Barry Hussein wins the terrorists will be dancing in the streets. But, ya know, they already are--in Baghdad, dickweed.

  • @keithh1964: MSNBC had a tally last night, showing Barack will net more delegates that the MONSTER.

  • This latest victory for St. Barlaam of Obama calls for a truly offensive graphic. Could anyone photoshop Hillary's head on to Matthew Shephard?

  • This a was a monstrous victory. You'd think WY voters saw a monster at home that made them run for the monster-hating safety of the caucus sites. Once inside, I'm sure they had typically monstrous bites from Nadine's monstrously delicious choclate-chip cookies. After such monster-like indigestion though, I'm sure any person would have to break to take a monstrous dump. After wiping their monsters, I'm sure every WY was reminded that Obama surely has a pretty monster, prettier than theirs, and that played a monstrously decisive role in today's results. It's a margin only a monster wouldn't blush about.

  • @Destonio: Thanks for that.

    I'm gonna have to drink like another half a bottle of whisky to get that image outta my head.

    Barry O'bama, winning over broken mountains everywhere...

  • @FloraWay: He needs to say it in a highly publicized way, and immediately

    @hazmaq: The superdelegates aren't stupid. They have to run for office themselves. Would you want to have Clinton, who would mobilize every Repub, at the top of your ticket or Obama, who's cuddly and lovable. Remember, it was Bill that spawned Newt and his Contract with America, and lost Congress the majority after 40 years. Great going, Bill.

  • @hazmaq: I hate Mark Green! That guy could not win an election if he was running unopposed. Take a look at the NYC primary in 2001 if you want a sense of his Democratic 'strategy'--trash the minorities until the party is destroyed and the Republican waltzes in--sound familiar?

  • Tom Daschle says today that Howard Wolfson should resign from the Clinton camp because he called Obama Kenn Starr.

    But Rep. Steve King says Bin Laden will dance if Obama wins, and dickweed Republicans all cheer.

    Fuck that shit. Obama's people should start repeating the following talking point:

    "Bush-McCain-Hillary are doing Bin Laden's work, destroying our freedoms, destroying our reputation and influence, destroying our economy and destroying our military."

  • @DryFact: Don't forget:

  • OK, this is just my math off CNN, but the DNC really knows how to fuck itself. Obama won the Wyoming caucus by 1378 votes, and somehow that gets him 3 more delegates than HRC in Wyoming; i.e., 460 Wyoming caucus votes = 1 additional delegate. HRC won the Texas general primary by 101,029 votes, but that only gets her 4 more delegates than Obama in Texas; i.e., 25,257 Texas General Primary Votes = 1 Extra Delegate. I guess the moral is fuck the popular vote, and just go for the caucuses; your odds of accumulating delegates are just that much better.

  • I have decided by the power vested in me by ye total strangers, and in honor St. Patricks Day, that the way to defeat Hillary Clinton is to write vicious limericks about her, which we then spread around the web, countering the evil of her followers with witty bon mots and vicious insights.

    OK?

    I'll start

    There once was a man named Barack
    Who had holes in the side of his cock...

    No, let me start again.

    Ahem.

    A contest between Obama, Barack
    and a monster $5 Million in hock
    got ugly in Austin
    where the two step was costin
    Godzhilla the delegate tot!

    Your turn






  • @BoHan: But the votes in a caucus aren't the same as the number of people that showed up. The number they are reporting is state delegates, not the number of people that caucused.

    I caucused in Iowa. We had about 300 people at our precinct. 300 people= 12 state delegates. So when they are saying 1378, that isn't in people. That is in state delegates.

    It still isn't exactly equal, but it is closer than you think.

  • @JennySaypa:

    No more of Hillary! Fuck.
    Just hit me now with a truck.
    Fucking Bill Clinton is back,
    saying Hillary/Barack.
    Seriously? WTF.

  • Did Hillary's stylist pick out her suit today? It is the exact same blue as Cookie Monster.

  • @FloraWay: Yeah, but do the math - again. In Wyoming, per the caucus, using Texas general primary results of 1 delegate per about 25,000 Democratic voters, there are 300,000 registered Wyoming Democrats (12 delegates x 25,000), whereas in reality there are about 60,000 registered Wyoming Democrats. Furthermore, there are only about 500,000 people in the entire overwhelmingly Republican State of Wyoming. So per your math Wyoming Democrats = 60% of the Wyoming population, whereas they're actually about 12% of the population. Evs, bottom line, Cheney wins - here's to hope and change and unicorns and rainbows, but I'm late to a gallery opening so ciao.

  • @Destonio:

    Do you mean that female serial killer from Frolida or HRC?

  • @BoHan: Since you're a Hillary supporter, you should get used to being confused and disappointed.

    Ciao.

  • @BoHan:

    Really is interesting isn't it? We have one candidate excelling at getting caucus goers all excited. And we have one that drives them to the polls by the busload. And it will all come to naught when the delegates that no one votes for finally show up. Ah democracy at work.

  • @FloraWay:

    And really, both campaigns knew (or should have known) how the different states' systems work.

    Apparently early on HRC decided she didn't like the various rules, so her strategy was to file lawsuits all the time.

    Obama's strategy apparently involved winning or something.

  • Oh, and the Clintons' new strategy:

    "I'll pick Obama as my running mate, so, you see, a vote for ME is really a vote for HIM! SEE? SEE????!!!!!"

    and then she eats a baby wrapped in an American flag the second she goes offstage.

  • There once was a guy we call Barry,
    Who's jock Hillary couldn't carry,
    From her glass house she threw stones,
    And she answered the phone,
    Now she says she wants them to be married.

  • @BoHan: If you don't like the rules, you can just change them in the middle of the contest!

  • The Number One killer is stress.
    So try to stress out less.
    9/11 conspiracy theories
    will make you fear these
    moles in the shadow government.

  • @BoHan: Texas' primary delegates are not awarded by simple proportion - different areas are weighted based on population. Obama did well where it counted more, in other words. Hillary didn't. Stop whining about the rules after the fact.

    The DNC doesn't set those rules, by the way. It's left to the state parties to decide how they apportion their delegates. So, you know, good job with the misplaced anger.

  • Stress will make you fat.
    It's a scientific fucking fact.
    It raises your cortisol levels,
    increasing your fat storage levels,
    I know random shit like that.

  • by Pupster

    When Steny Hoyer and Rahm Emanuel and Nancy Pelosi stripped out the troop withdrawal provision from last springs' Defense Spending Bill, did they worry about the 'party' or the voters that gave them the keys back to Congress after 12 dark years?
    When Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer re-engineered and re-crowned pro-war Joe Lieberman back into the Senate, who then and now embarrasses and insults the Democrats at every opportunity -do you think they worried about keeping their promises to the voters or to the party to end the war??
    Is is a coincidence that all of those same people are now ardent Hillary supporters, or secretive pro-war supporters likely to side with Hillary?

    Their concerns have nothing to do with what's best for the country, the voters, and certainly not for the troops and innocent civilians around the world.

    These aren't Democrats. Democrats don't believe in cluster bombs.

  • @BreakTheTerror:

    Winning . . . ?! Such a silly silly man. Winning. What a concept.

  • This is what Republicans will say about Obama. Coincidentally, it sounds just like the Hillary campaign. Too bad nobody is turning out for McCain in the primaries.

  • The last two elections were stolen. I see no reason why this one won't be any different.

  • I think CNN is doing a story about one of the girls who appears in Hillary's 3 A.M. ad, who's now of voting age. And of course is voting for Obama (like the rest of young Hollywood elites).

  • What is important at this moment-- Bill Foster beat Jim Oberweis for IL's 14th district. This was Hastert's old seat. VERY Republican district (I grew up there).

    This should be a big talking point for Obama. Foster used Obama in commercials, and it helped him. You could never have used Clinton to help round up votes in a district that is heavily Republican.

    This isn't just about who will be president. This is also about making sure that we're not losing races for Congress as well. Obama on the ballot is going to help people win more conservative districts.
