yes but no one watching believed it, if Obama went out and said "I am going to put an end to politics as usual, and as of today i am a woman!", you would have morons like whomod on here swearing Obama was a woman , and anyone who said different was working for Fox News and Carl Rove. for every whomod there are a thousand others believing the act, even hanks couldnt attend a racist church for 20 years and get some morons to believe he didnt hear a thing when he went....
No one ever seems to notice that, for a disease allegedly created by the U.S. government to wipe out black americans, upwards of 85% of those infected are white homosexual/bisexual men, I.V. drug users, and homosexual/I.V. drug users. In 1993, when I wrote an article on the status of the epidemic in the U.S. at that time, and spoke at length for several hours with representatives of the Center For Disease Control (CDC), as well as several local doctors, the consensus was that heterosexuals (women) were pretty much only infected by sex partners who were secretly bisexual or I.V. drug users. The only exception being those infected through blood or organ transplants.
Pretty misdirected effort, for a disease created to, in Rev Jeremiah Wright's paranoid words, "wipe out people of color".

What exactly did I write that you spin as "fantasy"?
I did write an article on the AIDS epidemic, I did speak to several people at the CDC, to gather stats, nationally and for Florida, and even more local stats for Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties.
And I have dated quite a few women of other races and nationalities, as I've expanded on at length in multiple topics here.
One small correction: I spoke to the CDC in late 1992. The article was published in January 1993.

The CDC estimates that 850,000 to 950,000 U.S. residents are living with HIV infection, one-quarter of whom are unaware of their infection. Approximately 40,000 new HIV infections occur each year in the U.S., about 70% among men and 30% among women. Of these newly infected people, half are younger than 25 years of age.
Of new infections among men in the U.S., the CDC estimates that approximately 60% of men were infected through homosexual sex, 25% through injection drug use, and 15% through heterosexual sex. Of newly infected men, approximately 50% are black, 30% are white, 20% are Hispanic, and a small percentage are members of other racial/ethnic groups.
Of new infections among women in the U.S., the CDC estimates that approximately 75% of women were infected through heterosexual sex [undisclosed: through sex with men who were secretly bisexual, I.V. drug users, or involved with prostitutes] and 25% through injection drug use. Of newly infected women, approximately 64% are black, 18% are white, 18% are Hispanic, and a small percentage are members of other racial/ethnic groups.
From 2001 through 2004, the estimated number of HIV/AIDS cases increased among whites, Asians/Pacific Islanders, and American Indians/Alaska Natives, and decreased among blacks and Hispanics. Blacks accounted for 50% of all HIV/AIDS cases diagnosed in 2004.
From 2001 through 2004, the estimated number of HIV/AIDS cases decreased approximately 2% among males and 15% among females. In 2004, males accounted for 73% of all HIV/AIDS cases among adults and adolescents.
From 2001 through 2004, the estimated number of HIV/AIDS cases increased among men who have sex with men (MSM). The estimated number of HIV/AIDS cases decreased among injection drug users (IDUs), MSM who were also IDUs, heterosexual adults and adolescents, and among children. MSM (47%) and persons exposed through heterosexual contact (33%)[again: hidden is the fact that these "heterosexual" transmissions were through sex with partners who were bisexual, I.V. users, or sex with prostitutes] accounted for 80% of all HIV/AIDS cases diagnosed in 2004.

Of course, whomod's been telling us for at least the past eight years that Fox is a right wing hate site that can't be trusted...so what does that say about Obama's victory?
While Obama congratulated Hillary on her Indiana win his campaign blamed Rush Limbaugh for Obama not being able to seal the deal yet. Washington Post
I guess if Obama is going to have his people spin his losses that way I wish he would skip the phony congrats to Hillary. There's been plenty of polling showing he's having a tough time winning over all the voters he needs to win a general election without Limbaugh.
Technically, Obama's campaign is probably correct if at least for the following reason:
If Hillary had lost the vote in Texas or Ohio, it was widely believed (Bill even conceded) she'd have to drop out.
She "won"* Texas on primary night, but only by a razor-thin margin. In all likelihood, that margin was the result of Rush's "operation chaos."
Once that happened, there was a good chance that she would stay in this all the way to the convention, except in the highly unlikely event that Obama won the remaing states by huge margins.
Therefore, Limbaugh's actions may be, in fact, what kept Obama from sealing the deal.
With that being said, given his strong victory in North Carolina and the close results in Indiana, it's hard to see any way that superdelegates would hand the nomination to Hillary. She may hang on for the next few weeks until the primary season officially wraps up, but with no big states left, how can she win over any superdelegates she hasn't already?
* The caucus results, however, meant that Obama actually received more delegates in that state.
As the fate of a nailbiter Indiana primary -- and possibly the course of the Democratic race -- hung on his city, Gary Mayor Rudy Clay said just now that it might take a while yet to finish counting the vote in Lake County, which includes Gary, and said that his city had turned out so overwhelmingly for Barack Obama that it might just be enough to close the gap with Hillary Rodham Clinton.
"Let me tell you, when all the votes are counted, when Gary comes in, I think you're looking at something for the word to see," Clay, an Obama supporter, said in a telephone interview from Obama's Gary headquarters. "I don't know what the numbers are yet, but Gary has absolutely produced in large numbers for Obama here."
Clay said the results were late coming in from Lake County because of the large numbers of absentee ballots that had to be counted -- about 11,000. Under local practice, all of the cartridges from voting machines in Gary and nearby East Chicago are first collected at the local airport before being driven to the county headquarters to be tallied with the results from the rest of the county, he said. He said there were major technical problems holding up the count.
Hillary won the Texas primary with 51% of the vote to Obama's 47% G-man. It wasn't a blow out but I'm not sure how you can realistically call that razor thin. But if you feel that is razor thin then the percentage point or two that Obama has over Hillary in the overall race so far must seem like pretty much a tie right?

Well, yeah, mathmatically, either could win the nomination, thanks to the superdelegates.
However, with a big win for him in NC and, at best, a narrow win for in Indiana, I expect more superdelegates to now endorse Obama. Some of them will be new to the bandwagon, some will have been kept in the Obama campaign's pocket for tomorrow or later.
Russert: It's over for Hillary. She just lost the nomination.
NBC declares Hillary the winner, barely, in Indiana. Hillary may get one delegate more than Obama in Indiana. Chuck Todd says Obama will get 13 more delegates than Hillary tonight, and that wipes out the 12 delegates more than him that she got in Pennsylvania. Obama now has a pledged delegate lead of over 160, he's got a popular vote lead of over 700,000, per Todd
There is simply no path to victory for Hillary. Now she's just screwing around and hurting the party. Look at what Chuck Todd just said, again - even with Michigan and Florida, she has lost:
"With leads like this now, if you throw in Michigan and Florida, as is, then Obama would still have about 150,000 votes and he would still have 100 delegates, pledged delegate, lead." - Chuck Todd, 1:13 AM
Sorry Whomod but I find the Obama supporters who try to slam Hillary as somehow wrecking the party the ones doing the true damage. She has every right to continue & still has a chance to win the nomination.
"With leads like this now, if you throw in Michigan and Florida, as is, then Obama would still have about 150,000 votes and he would still have 100 delegates, pledged delegate, lead."
That probably means he's got the nomination right there.
Sure, Hillary can hypothetically win with the superdelegates. But when the math breaks down the way it does now on the states, my gut tells me the SD's will break for Obama.
An Obama win in NC was pretty much expected. Obama early on even predicted that he would take NC, Hillary would win PA & that Indiana would be the tie breaker. If she wins the next state perceptions will change once again.
I understand that's the Clinton talking point today. I'm also aware of what various Obama talking points have been.
But, the bottom line is that, after yesterday, he actually increased his lead over her. There are simply not enough states for her to close the deal. Hillary's once sizeable lead in IN narrowed to an almost "too close to call" victory there and, as noted above, even if you count FL and MI she's behind.
As I said before, I expect that you're going to see more and more superdelegates start to break his way now. And, once that starts, Hillary's last theoretical hope at the nomination is obliterated.

(CNN) — Barack Obama won two more superdelegate endorsements Thursday, narrowing his deficit with Hillary Clinton to seven.
North Carolina Rep. Brad Miller and Washington Rep. Rick Larsen both announced they will cast their superdelegate votes for the Illinois senator.
"The decision was not easy," Miller, a two-term congressman, said in a statement. "Senator Clinton has run an impressive campaign, and has spoken eloquently to the concerns to working and middle class American families. She is one of the great leaders of this generation.
"Senator Obama understands that he has the chance not just to win the election this year, but to be a great president," he added.
Miller's district, which includes Raleigh, overwhelmingly voted for Obama Tuesday, 63 percent to 35 percent.
Larsen, a three-term congressman whose district lies in the northwest area of Washington state, praised Obama as the "best candidate to turn our country's hopes for a better future into reality."
"This week, Senator Obama has proven that he is tough and resilient," he said. "He has shown that he can take a pounding, come back and continue to communicate with the public to deliver his message of hope and change."
Obama easily defeated Clinton in Washington's February 19 caucus, 68 percent to 31 percent.
The two endorsements bring Clinton's advantage over Obama among superdelegates down to seven, according to CNN's estimate; Clinton has the backing of 267 superdelegates, while Obama has 250.
Since Tuesday's primaries, Obama has gained six superdelegates while Clinton has picked up one. But Clinton also lost a superdelegate Wednesday — DNC member Jennifer McClellan switched her support to Obama — for a net gain of zero.
So I guess Hillary's last ugly desperate and pathetic strategy of "vote for me, I'm white" is another bust.

WASHINGTON - Barack Obama all but erased Hillary Rodham Clinton's once-imposing lead among national convention superdelegates on Friday and won fresh labor backing as elements of the Democratic Party began coalescing around the Illinois senator for the fall campaign.
Obama picked up the backing of nine superdelegates, including Rep. Donald Payne of New Jersey, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus who had been a Clinton supporter.
In addition, the American Federation of Government Employees announced its support for Obama. The union claims about 600,000 members who work in the federal and Washington, D.C., governments.
Obama, who won a convincing victory in the North Carolina primary and lost Indiana narrowly on Tuesday, has been steadily gaining strength in the days since.
the superdelegates are really flocking to Obama now. It's been a steady stream all day. Expect it to continue thru the weekend. Especially now that Hillary has played her hand and the superdelegates see that she really has no real interest in a Democrat winning the White house if it isn't her.
