Obama Sweep!


The 'Potomac Primaries' in Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC decisively went Sen. Obama's way last night. He's now won eight straight contests with elections in Washington state and his birth state of Hawaii coming up.

And he's finally taken the lead in terms of delegates according to the AP poll.

My home state votes March 4 along with Ohio, and since Texas is an early voting state people can start casting ballots as early as February 18.

If you want to keep up with the political news in the Lone Star State, check out the one I refer to and use along with my sources to keep up with political events back home called the Burnt Orange Report.

Proudprogressive,
My sis and everybody back home definitely shares your sentiment.

The candidates will have to do something besides use Texas as a politcal ATM.

A good friend in Texas was telling me just this morning that early voting starts today and that after the vote on the 4th there is also a caucas for the 30 % of the delagates that aren't assigned, divied up in the primary..which only takes 70% of the 243 total Texas delegates...She also pointed out that Delays geri mandering may just work out real well for OBAMA , as in Texas everyONE can VOTE in the primaries..ie independents YAY

soo I have to admit i laughing pretty satisfied that the GOP is getting hoisted on its own petard of thinking they would have a permanent majority forever..THANKS YOU NEO CONS for destroying the repulican party..i mean really what is a republican anyhow...All their wedge issues..HA , they gave themselves a wedgie !!!! hehehehhe
