If he loses Texas and Ohio... will that end for Obama..

The only major state he has won is is home state of Illionois.
Most of his victories have come from backroom cacauses.. not good for someone who talks of change and corruption

Or do we just compare hime to Bush who also couldn't win any big states and relied on smaller states for his victories..

In cacauses you cannot speak openly against him

Out of fear of being labeled a racist

Such is the sad state of affairs with American freedom of speech

Secret ballot primaries are different

General elections are done by secret ballot too.



God I wish Obama wins the primaries.

This has enormously impacted united states besides because the international! have you ever even considered or study what's happening in different international places? How different international places sense in the course of Obama and the U. S.? This has been quoted more effective then only a historic adventure for the U. S.. people can no longer watch for him to get into place of work. Now particular, people also felt Mccain had good purpose to, yet compared to the novel change Obama will make, maximum sense the impact will be a lot more effective for change. maximum see this as a demonstration of a sparkling starting up. Mccain and Obama are and were both good applicants, Obama in basic terms had more effective of the better hand in this one. united states desires to step faraway from the straightforward straightforward, and do and be something a lot more effective impacted and faster. I presented links less than. examine them and browse others, there are resources after resources of elated, joyous, delighted, people and international places, about the future of Obama's presidency. See why people are enthusiastic about this. nicely reported Michael.

He's already got a fairly good lead on delegates for the DNC, and a good percentage of the superdelegates in his camp. And since Texas and Ohio are not winner-take-all states, it's safe to assume he'll get a fair number of delegates there too and either maintain his lead or end up in a dead heat with Hillary going into the DNC.



So, no, even if he doesn't take a majority of today's delegates, I doubt he's finished yet.



I think it will come down to the superdelegates at the DNC, and we'll see how many of them the Clinton machine is able to intimidate or bribe into backing Hillary over Obama.



At this point in the race, it isn't about the popular vote, it's about delegates.



(BTW, I support neither candidate. I'm a conservative.)

The question is, IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR AMERICA!? This country CANNOT continue to spiral downward as it has in the last 8 years. HILLARY is a divider, she cannot bring people together as OBAMA can do. Hillary is so disliked that she is the ONLY ONE WHO CAN make republicans come out in droves and make democrats cross over.



WE SHOULD PRAY that HILLARY don't win for the sake of AMERICA! It is sad when the opposite team wins because we are playing a soap opera for them.



You said, "Most of his victories have come from backroom cacauses.. not good for someone who talks of change and corruption"



OH WOW! ALL OF BUSH'S VICTORIES came from DUCT TAPE FEAR, PRETENDING THERE WERE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION, PRETENDING that Saddam Hussein and the MUSLIMS bombed WTC and from STEALING VOTES and TAMPERING WITH THE VOTING MACHINE and .....should I go on?!



Oh yeah and his victory came from AMERICAN people being so gullible as they are being with HILLARY WHEN she has her surrogates put out emails lying about Obama's religion, about OBAMA stealing aka plagiarizing

his own friend AND campaign manager's speech, as when she had her flunky, bob johnson, TRY to start a rumor about him and then pretended like she had nothing to do with it, knew nothing about it, but still, like all the other times,she or her surrogates would apologized.



SO, THE ONLY WAY HILLARY CAN BEAT OBAMA IS WITH NEGATIVE ADDS AND A BARAGE OF LIES, IF THAT'S THE KIND OF PRESIDENT AMERICAN WANTS, THEN AMERICA DESERVES WHATEVER COMES.



NOTE: BUSH LIED ABOUT EVERYTHING,CHEATED WITH THE SWIFTBOAT AND SOME OTHER LOW TACTICS THEN EVEN STOLE THE ELECTION WITH MALFUNCTION VOTING MACHINES THAT ALWAYS FAVORED HIM! AFTER ALL OF THAT, his GOOSE NEVER LAID A GOLDEN EGG! Everything he tried to do became DUNG!

thats funny



Obama has more delegates.

After the Texas and Ohio votes are in he will still have more delegates, even if Hillary manages to squeak a win out of them.



Even if she somehow manages to win the Dem nomination (no way), she will end up losing the general election. She'll be labeled the dream killer, the anti-hope candidate. She'll unite the right wing around McCain, and have the left wing mad at her over the mudslinging she threw at Obama.



This nomination is going to Obama, the only question is how long it will take Hillary to face reality.

If he looses both, no. There are many other states yet to vote. This race will go all the way to the Primary, on that trail he will be getting a harder and harder look by the people and the press. He will have to actally put his policies FWD and stop the slogon BS. His day in the sun of being an unknown are over.

No, I think if he loses both this will just go on to the DNC. Because if he loses both, especially in Texas where it's looking to be extremely close, he'll still end up with a good amount of delegates to keep his lead. So I think if she loses either Ohio or Texas that will most likely be the end of it for her. But if Obama loses both it'll just continue on to the convention.

Fortunately for the GOP, the Democratic Primaries will continue resulting in a big fight on the floor and behind closed doors at the Democratic National Convention.



The more people scrutinize Barack Hussein Obama, the more reasons they will find for not voting for him.



Reasons like:



TUCC

NAFTA

REZKO

Lack of Foreign Plicy Experience

yes, but notice that the faces on your answers that support him are mostly black. this isn't about the right person this is about black people wining and white guilt.



if I am wrong then why is most of the comments on yahoo answers that support obama from black people or white people trying to make it right. you know i am not a woman so does this mean i shouldn't vote for hilliary and only men of my race and color. if most people saw this like blacks then they couldn't vote

This will not be the end for Obama, as it is unlikely that Obama will lose either by much. STOP trying to twist this. Today is Hillary's last stance if she looses not Obama's.



Obama still leads in delegates, popular vote, states won and money donated. If he doesn't win either state, the campaign will go on until the convention.



However if he wins 1, Hillary should concede.

Are you kidding. Obama is the only real hope that's left (pun intended). With McCain keeping everyone in a war they don't want (and can't afford) for the next 100 years, and Billary lying her face off to everyone because she's got 35 years practise at doing that, who else is going to lead us out of this self-dug hole? I've met this guy. He's the real deal. OBAMA '08
