Obama: The Snubber

gall.sotu.gi.jpg

I know I'm having too much fun with this, but the man got on TV and said he did not snub her, but was turning around because someone was speaking to him. Look at his face in this picture and look at everyone around him. He doesn't look happy in this shot, surely I wouldn't want someone speaking to me with the type of expression he has on his face. Everyone else looks to be having a good time -- But not our Anointed friend. Further, who did he say was talking to him? If it's the dark haired lady behind him, he snubbed her too!! :lol: No one else is looking his way. Two debates ago Hillary paid him a major compliment, calling him " cute and likeable", he reluctantly responded, while looking down, "she's ok". Is that conduct not divisive?! Give me a break! "This is the Biggest Fairy Tale I've ever Seen!" :lol:

Wow it was a banner day for Crist and his Midas Touch! I'm glad we are getting property tax relief from a man that doesn't own property.

What other counties besides Leon voted NO to A1? Also did any other counties besides Leon carry Obama? GG do you or others know where I can find that info? I watched the break-down of voters by county on CNN, but since the Democrat primary was a "beauty contest" they didn't show or I didn't catch the Democrat County break-down.

Is that the plan to have Obama and Edwards team up?

Thanks for the numbers GG! Interesting breakdown. Looks like A1 was really popular in populated South FL where housing cost went very crazy and now the real estate market is very dead. I'm surprised it passed in Alachua even by that narrow margin. Odd how Duval and Putman (Palatka) voted like Leon. Leon seems to have the biggest percentage against A1 followed by our surrounding counties in the Big Bend (or is that The Capital Region.) I wonder if this area voted against it out of fear or awareness?

Can anyone show me the total number of Democrats voters in this Primary and the same for Republicans? Also rank the candidates by number of votes across the board and don't separate them into parties please, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks for compiling that for me FL. So 200K more Repubs voted in this primary than Democrats. However "your lady love" got almost 200K more than the next candidate.....I know you like that. So what does this mean? Hmm I'm not sure, but probably nothing since the components of the General Election will be entirely different.

Thanks again, that was interesting to see.

You're right. That in no way will mimic the way the General will go. What you are actually seeing here is the Republican party sort of going through a reinvention of itself. The party is moderating, which may not be a bad thing, IMHO.

The important number was turnout, which you mentioned. However, it may be a little skewed, with many D's not coming to vote since they were disenfranchised.
