5. 270.5 to 276 now!

(I am including Jimmy Carter in that 276. Not all are counting him, but to me, his comments were the same as Tom Daschle's)

19. I hope Pat is on morning Joe tomorrow..it wil make my day to see his comb over flop side to side!

[PseudoIntellect]

9. Who cares? This nomination should be decided on who can win the most white working class votes!

White are all that matter, right? I mean, Bill Clinton DEFINITELY won the white vote in 1992 and 1996.

:sarcasm:

[stillcool]

12. Not all whites are the same..

You have to wear a blue collar, work 'hard', and be uneducated...then, your vote 'matters'.

[POAS]

13. And drink shots with your beer

[cyndensco]

20. Eggheads need not apply...

[stillcool]

21. Ah....that's it!

Thanks! I met all the criteria, but knew I still didn't 'matter'. I quit drinking a while back. Damn, I was so close!

[pompano]

24. In a funny way.

To be fair I have to give Hillary credit on that one.

I have hurled more boilermakers than I have ever held down. And I come from the ol' rough and tumble, jagged around the edges, crowd. This is one time I can tip my hat. :toast:

GOBAMA.

23. Hillary would have won the white vote in apartheid South Africa

Luckily they had their Mandela, while we got our Obama.

[dempartisan23]

# Jennifer L. McClellan (Virg.) switched to Barack Obama - 5/7/2008
