Somehow I think Obama won't be a president for a long time. What do you think?

He'll be the president for 8 years.
7 (31.8%)
He'll be the president for 4 years.
7 (31.8%)
He'll fail earlier because of the economical crisis.
1 (4.5%)
He'll be murdered earlier by terrorists/Ku Klux Klan/McCain/Hillary Clinton :D
7 (31.8%)

You didn't include the republicans :)

Any Huckabee supporters around?
But we can't be quite sure.


BonzaiJoe

Yes, Clinton's lead is a bit too big :-/. What's positive for Obama though is that the missing states by now are all rural states, mainly southern and midwest. Obama has been strong in that kind of states, while Clinton has been stronger in the "blue" states with big cities and lots of people.
But we can't be quite sure.

I'm quite surprised that Hillary won in California  :-\

Even though it doesn't look too good, I think there's still hope  :D *thinks positive*

BonzaiJoe

Let's look at some statistics:

States won by Clinton:
BLUE (6): New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, California, Michigan, Massachusetts
RED (5): Tennessee, Nevada, Arkansas, Arizona, Oklahoma
GREY (1): Florida

States won by Obama:
BLUE (4): Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Minnesota
RED (11): Utah, North Dakota, Missouri, Kansas, Idaho, Georgia, Colorado, Alaska, Alabama, South Carolina, Iowa

States yet to have their primary elections:
BLUE (8): Washington, Oregon, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Rhode Island, Maine, Hawaii, D.C.
RED (11): Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Texas, Kentucky, Indiana, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Louisiana
GREY (1): Ohio

Okay those stats aren't very conclusive, but there you have them :)
But we can't be quite sure.

And:
Numbers of delegated (is that the right word?)
H = 845
O = 765

...there's no doubt about who will win on the other side, but I still think it's very exciting on "the right side"

BonzaiJoe

Which happens to be the left side  :)
But we can't be quite sure.

Yes, I would feel better in 19th century. Women's task: cook, wash, skid.

Your task: work three times as hard in order to support the woman and your 21 kids (protection not invented)


(hmm, sorry about the 1 year answer delay...)
But we can't be quite sure.


BonzaiJoe

Okay if you don't care that your children die, you still have to take care of the woman. Reason: she's not as good to skid if she's malnutritioned.
But we can't be quite sure.
