Gawd, that would be a first class prank. Give the number of the guy who voted against the registry to every telemarketing firm in the US...
I don't. Ron "Dr. No" Paul is a total nutjob.
Anybody who voted against the national "do not call" registry deserves to have his phone number given to every telemarketer on the face of the planet.
That way we'll see whether or not the guy signs up for the do not call registry to gauge his real commitment to his principles.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5) ― California voters would change their February primary vote for Hillary Clinton to a vote for Barack Obama if the vote were held again, according to an exclusive poll commissioned by CBS 5.
While voters in the California Democratic Presidential Primary backed Clinton by a 10-point margin, a new SurveyUSA poll shows that if given the chance to vote again, Californians would choose Barack Obama by a 6-point margin, 49%-43%.
The poll was conducted on May 7 and 8 and has a margin of error of 4%.
On the Republican side, John McCain won by 8 points in the California primary. The new poll says he would win by 35, in a 55%-20% victory over Mitt Romney, if Californians were given the chance to vote again.

California Democrats are shallow, idiotic, fickle, creatures. That big of a swing over the course of a few months -- from a candidate they've known for almost two decades to one that's barely had a political career -- shows how shallow and unprincipled are Democrats. Neither candidate is any different than they were when Californians first voted for them.
Ron Paul?Besides, I think we all agree that there is another candidate out there for whom the phrase "cult following" is a waaaaay more apt.

Yes, Ron Paul. They are more of a fringe group.
But do people actually faint at his sight? And does he apply messianic language to himself?
I don't know, I have several RL friends who are RP supporters who do some strangeee things...

What's an RL? Religious Left?
no, real life, but I do have an RL friend is a member of the evangelical left...

Anyway ... back to the topic, does Hillary still have a chance? I still say she does, but it's looking more like a long shot now. Her move to the Center last year, which she did to prepare for her expected coronation this year, didn't work out so well for her. The Lefties gravitated to the Chosen One, and her scramble leftward hasn't worked.
I still think the delegates from Mich. and Flor. get seated somehow. And the popular vote and delegate counts are very close. So she's still in it. But I think the Super-D's go with St. Barack in the end. I welcome it, in fact.
And the Convention is going to be fun!
It's not going to come down to the convention. By the second week in June, the primaries will be over, Obama will have the lead, and she'll have to drop out or go nuclear on Obama. If she select option B, the Dems have no chance in November, so I can see a super delegate stampede to Barack to prevent such a Demo-suicidal approach even being allowed.
Its ing over now! Barak has the lead in Pledged delegates AND super delegates. Oregon will put him over the magic number if he doesn't get it before
Clinton will fall in line in a few weeks and it will all be done. Both candidates' speeches after Indiana pointed towards this. All those hoping for widespread violence at the convention will be disappointed.
Hard to say. Our own version of "Operation Chaos" is pretty strong here.
Its ing over now! Barak has the lead in Pledged delegates AND super delegates. Oregon will put him over the magic number if he doesn't get it before
So there is a vast right-wing conspiracy!
Great job proving Hillary right!
No. Not a conspiracy. It'a all out in the open. No secret meetings, no hidden agendas.So there is a vast right-wing conspiracy!
Great job proving Hillary right!
Dosen't have to be secret according to the dictionary.
[awaits diatribe about the liberal bias of Mirriam-Webster]
You might be right. Like I said, Hillary's looking at long odds right now. But don't expect the Clintons to just go away.
Its over now! Barack has the lead in Pledged delegates AND super delegates. Oregon will put him over the magic number if he doesn't get it before
And, this was not exactly a coronation for St. Barack. It was a pretty tight race. But, yeah, I think the Golden Child gets it in the end.
not a conspiracy when the democrats did the exact same thing in crossing over and voting for McCain. except with the D primaries, there's not a dimes difference between the candidates.So there is a vast right-wing conspiracy!
Great job proving Hillary right!

Under Clinton's rules, Obama still wins

Barack Obama can fully accept Hillary Rodham Clinton’s terms on Michigan and Florida and still win a majority of pledged Democratic delegates on June 1, allowing him to lay claim to the nomination under the New York senator’s own rules.
A Politico analysis of the delegate numbers after Tuesday’s primaries in North Carolina and Indiana shows Obama can concede to Clinton’s position on Michigan and Florida and still claim victory

.
the superdelegates still come into play. also, if she wins florida and michigan, she can claim that she has the popular vote, thus causing controversy.

I don't remember its being such an organized conspiracy announced on the airwaves for months. If it were, both would be conspiracies. got no problem with that characterization if it's true.
Told you this was over a long time ago.
It's not officially over till the super delegates VOTE at the convention.
