Coming down after the biggest Democratic Party event in all the collective memories still living in Colorado Springs has been tough. Saturday February 23rd culminated our local campaign with celebratory chaotic, body-crushing, exhausting and exasperating day! The facts are that at least 2000, possibly as many as 2300 showed up at Palmer High School Saturday morning and deluged upon its main entrance, and 1747 were seated as delegates for either the Assembly or Convention portion---or possessing orange or blue credentials or both. All told 1553 voted in the Presidential Preference poll. Read the Gazette article here:
- Obama received 1072 votes = 271 delegates to the State Convention & CD-5 Assembly
- Clinton received 471 votes = 119 delegates to the State Convention & CD-5 Assembly
- Edwards received 9 votes = not viable
- Kucinich received 1 vote = not viable
- HD-14 had 33 delegates/alternates
- HD-15 had 33 delegates/alternates
- HD-16 had 34 delegates/alternates
- HD-17 had 17 delegates/alternates
- HD-18 had 50 delegates/alternates
- HD-19 had 25 delegates/alternates
- HD-20 had 41 delegates/alternates
- HD-21 had 38 delegates/alternates

Democrats are fun little creatures to listen to. Their worst nightmare is someone who votes based on logic, like Republicans.

This of course is my former college roommate who prides himself as being "Republican Reptile", I always point to the peer review ground breaking psychological research that is 'suggesting' that right-wing conservatism is actually a psychosis to be treated.
99% of prozac is prescribed to democrats.

This is my point completely, my old college roommate is so reptilian that all he can do is attack with lies and exaggeration's which of course is what the Obama campaign is about, getting out of this ignoramus partisan rut....thanks Tommy...for illustrating this.
Well, looks like B. Hussein Obama lost big on Tuesday, March 4. This is fun for Republicans, who can sit back and enjoy wathcing Hillary Hamrod and B. Hussein slug it out! Fun too!

The "reptilian" brain is working overtime, not big Tom, essentially as I remind you of how you repeatedly tell me about the 2000 elections, (it was the Electoral College, not the popular vote) is what really counts and it now appears that Obama will come out of the night gaining a couple of delegates and at worst not losing any advantage.
Now if anyone cares look at the school yard name calling that Tom the epitome of the self-described "Republican-Bigot-Reptile" possesses.
Yes, I am a Republican Party Reptile, and proudly so. We distinguish ourselves by discussing politics while enjoying 20 year old single malt scotch and a fine cuban cigar. We relish the thought the democrats forever scramble to try to win the white house, but rarely do. And when they do, they get impeached. But now, we can just sit back and watch B. Hussein and Hillary tear each other up. Life is good!

Tom confuses the idea of being a political party member and the illusion that he is a member of the Playboy Mansion.
Good luck Tom I know you don't drink Scotch Whiskey be it blended like Dewars or Single Malt like Glenfiddich, you are more a Ten High bourbon guy....it the price thing.
...Yes, the author of this website was forced to attend schools in the rustbelt area of northern Illinois, where, though doing his best, was spoon-fed liberal concepts that persist to this day. He feels emotionally guilty that he was personally responsible for slavery. This explains why he is goo-goo eyed over B. Hussein Obama, if you get down to the heart of the matter.
The delegate count between Hillary and B. Hussein is close. There is going to be a nasty fight at the democrat convention in Denver this August, like Chicago 1968. Republicans will enjoy watching this, for the sport of it. Let the botox dems fight it out. What is more fun than this? Life is good on the front range.

Tom, first why don't you refresh your connection since you are so far down on the posts (30) in all. No body is going to scroll down here to read it. Second, your AWG (that is Angry White Guy) diatribe above is factually incorrect. During the 1960's Waukegan was not part of the rust belt and in the mid 70's I went to high school in Mundelein, a middle Lake County bedroom suburb of Chicago. Inherent in your epitaph is the belief system that you possess some sort of Elite breeding going to school in Wilmette. But all that is for not.
As for the delegate count....it appears that in Texas Obama is going to come out ahead and essentially the whole Tuesday lost a net 4 in pledged but picked up 6 superdelegates....or a net gain of 2.
Limbaughism doesn't work here.
