    It doesn't matter. It's been revealed that Obama will likely clinch the nomination by June 4th/5th.

    He is only 48 super delegates away, and over 3 dozen are expected to come out and endorse Obama on the 4th. Combine that with his gains in MT etc, and he's got this in the bag. Go home Hillary :).

    Frankly I'm looking forward to it being over :lol:. I miss Australian elections where it's all over in a couple of months max (no offence to any of you guys lol).

    I've been following it pretty closely over here, and I'm damn glad Obama looks set to get the nomination. I can't fucking stand Hilary.

    In case anyone hasn't been keeping up today, Obama has basically wrapped up the Democratic nomination, finally. He'll have the required delegates by the end of the day, however Clinton isn't going to concede formally at this point because she wants to have some negotiating power as far as her potentially getting on the ticket for Vice President/being able to put some pressure on Obama when it comes to things she wants him to focus on in the run up to November.

    According to MSNBC: He's 14 delegates away from clinching. He's going to get at least 15 from SD and MT, not to mention all the super delegates that are likely to announce. Hillary can bitch and moan and lie about the numbers all she wants, but by DNC rules, he will be the nominee tonight.

    Yeah there was this thing on PBS just now that was like "So is this a thing that Obama has won. or is it something that Hillary has lost" While listening to that I was like it didn't make any sense. It's both, Hillary has lost, Obama has won. The games over.

    See, all of Hilliary's determination was for nothing. It's pretty much official who the nominee is. Now, watch her find something else to bitch about.

    She's more than dumb. There's no word for her stupidity.
    Hell I'm wondering if she even deserves the rights to be called a woman, and not an evil cunt. I just really can't stand her

    (Don't ban me)

    lol don't worry. That's not a bannable offense. I've called her that on numerous occasions and Derek has the text messages to prove it ;)

    That's great to know :) She's like an ant that is going to be squashed but still tries to run away even as the foot is coming down right on her. :lol: Silly thing her.

    Heck even I've called her that word. I do not like the Clintons at all, and I could not be any prouder of Obama than I am right now at this moment.

    He has done what every single last critic had said was impossible, and he did it with commanding force. There's a reason this man leads in delegates today, and that's because even in the face of extreme adversity he has never given up on his fight for the American people...and that's why he deserves to be our next president of the united states.

    Now that it's pretty much squared away that he's going to be the Democratic nominee, I hope he picks John Edwards as his running mate.

    You know, if Hillary Clinton was an animal, she'd so be an annoying tick.
