    So, will the Dog win big tonight? Will CNN mention Ron Paul who is still in as a candidate even though the mainstream media forget that. :rolleyes:

    Is anybody going to be following it?

    I predict Clinton by 5%. She needed a huge win to stay alive, and it won't happen. I predict she will nevertheless call this a "mandate" to continue on, and drag this out until she has destroyed as much as possible until she must, necessarily, step down.

    I'll go against the grain and predict an obama victory in pennsylvania.

    Hillary's sheer negativity will be her own undoing.

    My obvious hope is that this is right, Lightless. Clinton's last minute hail-mary (the bin laden commercial) may finally truly bite her back, in a big way. Philadelphia returns will be telling, I believe.

    I'll be hoping for an Obama victory so that my stalker has to concern himself with Bogart and the neocons, leaving me in peace and happiness.

    Hopefully Obama wins, the disgraceful campaign AD hilary done should be the nail in her coffin, she forgets that most people are not fools anymore and wont fool for the scare tactics propaganda.

    At this point, she doesn't have a lot left. She earlier couldn't ding Obama, and despite the fact it hurts her, at least if past primaries are indicative, she will go down fighting, destruction to all else be damned. This is my take.

    Hilary will win Pennsylvania, become the democrat's candidate and win the presidency. She will then become pro-life. You heard it here first.

    Absent a tidal wave tonight, and every one of the remaining contests, and then a tidal shift at a contested convention, by my count, it's mathematically impossible. Can you share your reasoning?

    Nice. Despite the media reporting Ron Paul out, Paul is pulling 16%.

    Makes you wonder how much noise he could have made with the same coverage the front runners received from Day 1.

    Anyway, this is good because it puts the GOP on notice. It's not like they can kiss off 15% of their conservative base.

    I'm watching it on CNN International (as I have crap cable here in the UK with no channels lol) and no mention whatsoever of Ron Paul, nor the votes from the Republican side, it's all Clinton and Obama, nothing else is being discussed. :eek:

    Well looks like Clinton will live to fight another day.

    What does it say about the elections that Clinton was almost done, and she manages to outperform Obama? And McCain has it wrapped up apparently, and Paul and Huckabee pull 28%?

    Could be because the only Republican facing election is John McCain.

    If RP is still in the race, kind of, Mike Huckabee, who has actually dropped out, and declared so, is so far earning 12% of the vote. McCain - 72%, RP, 16%, Huckabee, 12%.

    Looks like Clinton by 9%. The joyride continues.

    Even though Ron Paul is still in there he's still not even getting a mention mate, you moght have thought they would have at least given an update but no, Ron Paul is really the invisible man. :confused:

    Come on NTP, you certainly are not dumb, can you see a pattern here?

    The pattern I see is that the Republican nomination is finished, it isn't of any interest (read: entertainment) for the media, and Ron Paul is simply not considered to be a candidate, for all intents and purposes, any more than Huckabee, who though he has been officially out for some time, continues to garner substantial votes.

    I think the media is salivating over a protracted Democratic fight, and will continue to do so as long as there is a good bit of juice to the coverage.

    Once it's, presumably, Obama and McCain, then I fully expect to see coverage over the color of underwear worn by the two over the week leading up to Really Important Day.

    Cannot write the HILL DOG off yet bro. :D

    Ron Paul never had a chance from the beginning because he isn't a controlled puppet like Bush, Hilldog, Insane McWar or Obomber.

    A shame but that is how life is, a decent man with the interests of the USA at heart is completely shut out because he does not fit the agenda. Honestly bro you better pray that McCain doesn't get in because he will ruin the world, even more than Clinton or Obama will.
