US Presidential Elections 2008-09

for a change a perceived good guy is leading the race rather than prerace favourites.

hope he preserves his good brains even after winning the office.

my logic says obama will win it.

but as clintons are known, they will not concede till the last vote is cast.

Its not over yet, not by a long way.
People still think that Hillary will win Texas and in the end no one candidate will have the delegates to make it to an outright win.
At the last count, both candidates now have to win by a 10 %point margin in all states to win a nomination. Which is highly unlikely(atleast impossible for Clinton) so that will mean a battle for the super delegates and they will vote based on electability and past records where Clinton will win.

Already you will notice the Obama camp is saying that disregarding the people's verdict would be a disgrace in a sure sign to put some pressure on the super delegates.

Obama has delievered two more punches today

Obama wins Washington and Wisconsin(Hawaii expected, counting is on)
So that means Obama is now well ahead of Clinton in total delegate count heading into Texas which now assumes make it or break it proportions for Hillary. There is a Texan debate btw this Friday(21:30 EST CNN; 6:30IST CNN, Saturday)

^ You are still worried about US elections? I am more interested in what is happening in Pakistan, Mushy beaten hands down

This was superb

Mushy will come and go, but politics in US will influence whether the world will see more of Mushy's or less of them.
Obama hopefully will bring a new outlook for the US.

Stop discussing the small fries like Mushy is US presidential thread
Make a new one

Btw US policy will have to change now that the power is out of Mushy hands. Although PPP is known to be soft on US and most likely to form a underhand deal with the US to carry on the war on terror. Interestingly i didn't hear any comments about the Pakistani election results by Obama today in his victory speech.
