Taking Bets: Obama versus Clinton in Texas

I think I am with you there John, for some reason I just *really* don't foresee Obama winning Texas, we will see though.

This entire primary race (R&D) has become so freaky I've stopped trying to call it. For the sake of the question though I'll say this. Hill HAS to win these next two, and the Clintons have a way of making things happen by any means necessary.

It doesn't really matter, none of them will make any difference where it really matters once elected. Both of them are just employees from the industrial lobby that also employs the current president. All the American public ever gets is more of the same, with a new label sticked to it.

Ahh, word play. Got the nerve to specifically define that so I'm not getting a picture of you setting off a camera flash?

I think Obama will take it. It will be closer than the last 9 primaries but Obama should take it all the way from here on out. Since super tues Hillary just hasn't been the same. Too much attacking Obama.
Obama is a global socialist. Not sure I want to see him in there though. I can't see myself voting for Obama, Clinton, or McCain come the presidential election. Probably stay home, pop some popcorn, sit back and watch the results come in. LOL

Let us know what the correct answer is, so will can set up to sell tickets and drinks or maybe a website of nothing but those kind-of-pictures.

Obama wins in an upset... Hillary is done!
I'm an independent, but watched most of the debate last night and I don't see how he could lose.

partisan politics keep Americans occupied to ignore the real issues, like an executive branch that does whatever it feels, or a federal reserve that inflates our currency, or the total control of media & telecommunications and the loss of privacy under blanket surveillance programs. People in America are being stepped on by THEIR government while most do not even know about it. Once the flow of information that reaches a broad audience is manipulated, public opinion is easily altered.

Obama will win Texas. Hillary is looking desperate these days. Obama made her look mean in the past 2 debates.

I don't know. It is really going to be close. Here I have seen only ads for Obama and I actually got a phone call from Obama's campaign this week. Nothing from Hillary. I know she is targeting more of the Hispanic population here but I think she is doing harm by not promoting herself all over Texas!

I wish Obama really was "change". Seems like more of a big government guy, like Hillary and McCain, if you ask me.

You know I'm torn. I truly believe we certainly need change here. I normally vote Republican. I have yet to go place my vote...it will be on poll date.

Republican, Democrat, it's all the same in this election. If the Democrats don't bankrupt us, the Republicans will.
Both parties have abandoned small government, laissez faire principles that made America what it was.
