Welcome to Gaia! ::

Obama is the type of candidate who can and should get California. Whoever gets California will probably nab Tsunami Tuesday. However, Clinton's got more for-sure leads, and she has New York in the bag. See the table for yourself.

All I know for sure is that Obama won't get Oklahoma. I had to write a paper about Oklahoma's primary and he is lagging twenty-five points behind Clinton.

I don't readily support either candidate (mourning Edwards supporter here), but if I had to support one of them it would be Obama. Hillary Clinton isn't even in the same book as the LGBT community as far as our struggle for equality goes, let alone the same page.

I'm voting in the primary tomorrow, and it'll be the first vote in my life.

The sad thing is, all I've got so far is "No republicans."

I'm not a big fan of Obama but I voted for him anyway. (I am a big fan of the online voting I got to do. Hooray for Democrats Abroad!) I have never been a fan of anyone I voted for in a presidential race. I'm used to it.

I missed the online voting because my mom didn't read about Democrats Abroad till yesterday so we are going to a english video store to vote next tuesday. whee Its great that we can do this now.

Did anyone else hear about the majority of americans living in Indonesia voted for Obama?

Hey, as long as you get to vote inside... my state held a caucus, but I guess they didn't count on there being a huge mob of angry Democrat voters instead of a, uh, smaller rabble of disquieted Democrat voters. Yeah. Most election years, the Dems count on a crowd of about 60 people in this area. They thought, given the spike in interest, they'd be safe allowing for ten times as many - so, 600 people. Thus the caucus was to be held in a medium-sized church near a little parking garage downtown.

Well, come Super Tuesday, 6:00 PM, the temperature was in the mid-thirties and decreasing. My guy and I showed up earlier in the hour, expecting to be able to park and stroll inside before 7:00 with plenty of time. Well, parking was at a premium and it's a good thing we arrived when we did because - get this - between 2000 and 2400 voters showed up to caucus. No s**t. They obviously didn't have room in the church... I had to stand outside in line for about 40 minutes just to get into the church in the first place, where they told us we would have to move everything in front of the courthouse, outside, to accommodate everybody. So we all marched about a block away, and queued up again to get verified and signed-in to participate. That entailed about another half-hour of antsy huddling in very bitter cold.

Lots of chaos. The administrators of the caucus ran out of enough name tags for everybody, so they had to start marking us with Sharpies. Misty rain started falling right around then, too, which really didn't help matters. Finally, everybody was checked in and we moved en-masse to the courthouse courtyard. At that point, Obama supporters went to one side and Clinton supporters went to the other... it was getting dark and I was in the middle of the crowd, but I think there were a handful of Edwards or undecided people off to the side.

Here's where it got amusing - going in I saw plenty of Obama paraphernalia, so I thought he would do pretty good. Well, he did good. Really good. Like I say, from where I was, I couldn't see the Hillary side very well, but - as they were doing the preliminary crowd count, the Obama side outnumbered the Hillary side so badly that some of us were wondering if she would be tossed out as a non-viable candidate. As it turned out that the ratio was about 3:1 in Obama's favor.

Aside from the fact that it started sleeting on everybody then, I was really glad I got to participate. This is an exciting year, guys! Don't let anything stop you! biggrin

For whatever reason, I can't picture Hillary a vice-president.
I could picture a Clinton-Obama ticket, a Clinton-Edwards ticket, and an Obama-Edwards ticket... but not an Obama-Clinton ticket. Go figure.

I'm voting Obama. And it's not just because he's pro-choice. I like a lot of the stuff he has to say.
