You calling Texas for Hillary Mike?

As of 12:44 EST 50% of Harris County (Houston) is reporting. That’s where Obama’s big vote machine is. It’s a risky bet, but I’m willing to stick with it.

Hillary’s lead is almost 58,000 statewide and even if Harris County gives Obama another 50,000 he can’t catch up.

Fox News just called it at 12:47.

But you heard it HERE first!

I think we did it … She’s alive.

Now sit and watch, the un-civil war in the Democrat party is about to heat up. The next months ought to be fun.

As a Republican strategist this is a “perfect storm” scenario to see the Democratic nominees still going toe to toe with no apparent end in sight. The morning crew at MSNBC* sees no other alternative than both Obama and Clinton to join forces to defeat McCain in November. With both candidates understanding that neither can win if they alienate a large portion of each others segments of their constituents, how will Howard Dean and the superdelegates go about deciding the clear winner with out fracturing the party in the process? Christopher Hitchens says Hillary’s victory speech last night—- where she rattled off her “big battle ground states” victories INCLUDED Florida and Michigan. The fact that Clinton is “claiming” she won these two states that were not contested by Obama AND have been disqualified by the Democratic Party, suggest that (according to Hillary) the rules only count if they are in her favor. This could potentially become a character issue that may prevent her from having the opportunity to answer that 3 a.m. call in the White House.

* (The reason I have quoted MSNBC (a network I despise for their un-mitigated bias) is because this gives a more accurate pulse of what the mainstream media will be framing in the months ahead. And there’s nothing more satisfying than to see them twisting in the wind.)

Rovin: I noted that Hillary reference to Florida and Michigan too. With the delegate totals so close between Obama and Hillary there is no avoiding that issue. And it’s one that could seriously split the Democrats.

Also, I was watching web cast of the “pit” which Fox News erected instead of a green room where the talent and guests usually wait until they go on the air. Karl Rove’s characterization of Hillary’s big win speech was interesting. He said the whole thing looked “derivative” of Obama’s big events and speeches right down to the chant “Yes she will.”

P.S. Rovin: You were probably the only person in your state watching MSNBC last night. But Christopher Hitchens isn’t too bad.

Hey Mike, this all took place this morning my friend and please re-read my diclaimer at the bottom of my comment. 🙂

I meant to say disclaimer! Hey Curt, where’s my editing capabilities? I thought I signed up properly.

I’m not disagreeing with your reason for watching. But the sad facts for MSNBC is that so few people actually DO watch.

They changed their model to be the anti-Fox and Fox gets anywhere between 2 and 3 times the number of viewers.

Congradulations!!!

The Democrat party is officially in chaos haha 🙂

I wonder how mush Rush Limbaugh had to do with this also?

That Lil Fluffball Devil 🙂

As long as your signed in you should see “edit” beside the number comment….

Actually Marie, as much as I think we owe thanks to Rush for all his years of service to the conservative movement, I kinda hope these people thought for themselves and voted accordingly.
