Kentucky - OFFICIAL rumors and results thread

Clinton 52
Obama 44

With 5% in.

These numbers are fine. You can stop counting now Kentucky.

It's kind of stupid that CNN isn't showing Edwards on the results page. I guess you can just figure out the difference, but I still don't understand why they wouldn't.

Wow, Kentucky is awesome at counting votes.

[Lief 🗽]

Some Obama areas just came in big and he shot up about 3 points.

[Lief 🗽]

Uh, down to 27% reporting and 60-36 Clinton.  OK...

Edit: Emphasis on down.  From like 35% to 26%...what.

Obama also lost quite a bit of votes (I remember him being above 100,000).

"It's often been said, as KY goes, so goes the nation."

No, Hillary, no one says that.

Why is Obama still pandering to people by continuing to wear the flag pin?

I heard that a veteran gave that to him at a town hall, though I'm not sure if that's true.

Another good speech, but no substance at all. We're electing a President, not an orator.

Please point me to some McCain speeches with substance. The only difference between McCain and Obama's speeches is that Barack's aren't crappy. They're both full of themes and ideas and lacking in specific policy.

His gas tax holiday comes to mind.

"I want a gas tax moratorium" is not a valid policy proposal and, if anything, is worse than nothing at all.

Exactly. It's the equivalent of Obama calling for universal healthcare or a tax system "that rewards work not wealth." That's all you're going to get substance-wise in a speech like this.

clinton should have thrown a party after the potomac primaries.

why the hell not?

Because she didn't secure a majority of democratically-elected pledged delegates after the Potomac Primaries?
