I bet right about now, you were wishing that the Dems selected their Party representative more like the GOP, with winner take all. With these races being so close, their tit for tat narrow-margin wins doesn't really give them much of a jump.
Please, Please, Please Indiana....

Not at all. The winner take all scenario is what leads to a 12 states matter mindset....to heck with the other 38. I like the 50 state strategy, I just wish the kitchen sink strategy hadn't been employed.
Impossible that there could be political skullduggery 1/2 an hour from downtown Chicago. :funn:
"I am shocked, shocked, to find that gambling is going on in here." ;-)
"Republican crossovers also abound. At a polling station down the road in Newburgh, Ind., a self-described independent voter, who has voted Republican in recent presidential elections, said he was part of “Rush Limbaugh’s ‘Project Chaos,’” which seeks to prolong the Democratic nomination process.
The former teacher, who requested to not be identified, said he considers national security and energy independence among his top priorities as a voter, but has not yet been impressed by the crop of candidates currently running.He wishes he had a “third choice” in November, saying he's unsure if he’d vote for the eventual Democratic nominee or McCain.
After considering that quandry for a moment, he added, “Most likely it will be Senator McCain.”
He then headed to a Democratic primary polling place and cast his ticket for Clinton."

Girl, the kitchen-sink is part of poliTRICKS. You cannot have your cake and eat it, too -- at least not in an instant. Patience.
Don't you think Hillary has to stay in the race, until the end of May at the earliest, when the Dems figure out what they will do with Florida and Michigan?
Let's see what happens with these Lake numbers....he's already within 20,000 votes with 28% in and Lake is coming in 75% Obama.
With the way she started her speech tonight, I don't see how she stays in if Lake puts him over the top.
Russert just said Clinton just cancelled her appearances on the morning shows. That's major.
I hear from a guy with TIME, that in the smaller towns in NC, where Bill Clinton spoke to people from the back of a pickup truck, Hillary didn't perform as well as she did in the towns where Bill didn't speak. Maybe Hillary wants to avoid that question in the morning.
Sounds close. I just heard 51% -- 49% Hillary to Obama, in Indiana, with 92% of votes in.

She doesn't want anyone to hear this as the theme music....

This has bothered me the most with Hillary. Plus, taking the electorate for idiots. Did you catch the comment in her speech this evening about "coming from behind" in Indiana? As if she wasn't favored.
Her winning by 2 points in Indiana is not a good showing. And I think it will end up even by less.
. Now if more of the super delegates will go ahead and endorse Obama tomorrow morning, maybe we can get rid of the kitchen sink antics for a while. I had gone to bed but had to get up to see if anything else had been reported. Couldn't sleep! Think I'll go try again.
Thanks for keeping us updated Punzy. hmmm 1800 sounds good. I can slep with a smile on my face. ;-)

You say this as though the super-delegates weren't politicians. They ARE politicians and will many know how the game is played. Many are waiting to be the important vote, or to get something else in return, such as a cabinet position. Others are waiting to be sure that Hillary doesn't come back and haunt them, if by some miracle FL and MI are counted and Hillary wins. They may as well go ahead and wait, just to be sure that they don't get caught voting for the wrong person, who in the end cannot do them any favors.
