The 10th Consecutive Win for Obama

Posted Jan. 20, 2008 – Sen. Barack Obama continues his winning streak, netting his 10th straight victory Tuesday in the Democratic Wisconsin primary and Hawaii state caucus. Early this morning, the results in Hawaii showed that state’s ”favorite son” won with 75 percent of the vote.
Wisconsin had 74 national convention delegates up for grabs, and Hawaii had 20. These wins will allow Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) to keep his lead of pledged delegates over Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.).
Obama went into the contest in Wisconsin and Hawaii with an estimated 1,281 delegates and Clinton with 1.218, according to Associated Press. To secure the nomination it takes 2,025 of the party’s delegates.
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) won the Republican Primary in Wisconsin, besting his only remaining rival, former Arkansa Gov. Mike Huckabee. McCain won with 56 percent of the vote, to Huckabee’s 36 percent. Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) also on the ballot received five percent of the vote. To seal the Republican nomination McCain with 894 will need 1,191 delegates.
Why do you think folks are backing the junior senator Obama over the more experienced Clinton?

If “Slick Willie” and “It’s a right-wing conspiracy” – Hillary..STEALS this election from Obama (the black man)..then it serves black America right – you deserve it! Black conservatives warned you about the Clintons for years..and you essentially spit on us! The Dems and the Clintons have abused and used blacks to gain political power for decades. They maligned and LIED on the Republicans in the process..by accusing them of rabit racism..and by screaming such outlandish LIES as “Republicans don’t even want to count you in the census” – uttered by your (and Bubba’s) esteemed former Vice-president, Albert Gore Jr…The liberal God-hatin’ abortion-lovin’ media HELPED the Dems LIE to you – and you GLEEFULLY swallowed every LIE! So, my friends..it’s a bit LATE to cry foul now!…They are..and have always been – The Clintons!
maybe yall are right and Barack could take this in the end, but I still have my doubts he or Hillary can take this thing this year because of the party divide. But he will have my vote and I wish him luck.
I must admit I don’t understand this super strong hate of the clintons (I think Barack is a better candidate but I don’t hate the clintons) No matter what has happened because of an election where 2 people are duking it out. the clintons have been good for black people. I may be a little older than most but you had to understand how many high ranking AA we had in government prior to them (none) they put us in the cabinet and other high jobs as well when it was not PC to do so. They also raised the minimum wage (you should have been around when I made 3.35 an hour) and they gave the hope and lifetime learning tax rebates so that our kids can go to school. They gave us the family medical leave act and the welfare to work programs. I am voting for Barack not out of hate for the clintons – they are my peeps and always will be – but because I think he can take us to that next level because he has the ability to inspire people, I hope there will be folks like Hillary who understand policy who will help him navigate the pitfalls that come with trying to make change. To put it in corporate terms Barack is more the CEO – the visionary leaders who sets the tone, and Hillary is more the the CFO/Controller – the person who works in the trenches to make that vision come to life. I hope they will be able to reconcile after all of this is over because as a country, people, and party could use both of their strenghts.
JAMES WARD, you have to admit though that the republicans witch-hunted the clintons ad nauseum. if it wasn’t one thing, it was another. and the waste of taxpayers dollars on monica-gate.
look, i like clinton, but he did some things that he shouldn’t have. however, many of them were personal. all of the attacks i hear about in relation to clinton are what he did in his personal life. what about BUSH and his disgraceful time as president? the scandals he’s been involved in are all policy. lying about iraq and wmd’s, valerie plame, not cooperating with investigations.
the democrats’ enemy is not bill clinton. it is bush and the neo-cons.
ESQUIRE1908, upon closer examination, what, specifically, has obama done for african americans?
Why I am a Obama supporter Verus Clinton is because, he is a people person. What he says he wants to do…… actullay happens!Everything he seems to be passionante about I am passionate about. Education system, Health care these are BIGGIEs for me. Veruz Clinton who believes in the Bush bill” No Child Left BEhind” Whatever! War in Iraq , mandating payment for healthcare. This is a new day in age where young people are not looking for experince just understanding and compassion. We are own businesses and running corp companies by the age of 25 some as young as 18. Voting on the right bills for The American people Period! not Just the $80,000 and over club or Middle class everyone. Obama message is everyone is one! equal rights whether you are repubilican,white, black, democrat, Hispanic(legal or illegal), rich or poor he Fights for all of us. I watched one of the debates and just got a warm feeling about this man. Asking myself can he really change America? I believe so beacuse he is different Americe needs different, not just the same song.
Kris,
In response to your question, do your research, e.g. MSNBC aired a special on both candidates last night and check his record in Illinois and Washington, and his website. There are plenty of resources available to inform yourself.
ESQUIRE1908, I KNOW WHAT HE’S DONE FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS IN THE USA! NOTHING!
why can’t YOU answer the question and not tell ME to go look up something. i KNOW the facts. i’ve seen the records. HILLARY has the better one.
so, ESQUIRE1908,
WHAT SPECIFICALLY HAS BARACK OBAMA DONE FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS IN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?
what specifically has the clintons and the democratic party done to uplift the black community lately besides pander to get our vote? as i look around in my neighborhood, things still look the same as it did when i was a kid and more black men are in jail because of the drug laws (how come none of the candidates are talking about this issue?) and the racist criminal justice system that deeply affects our community? if barrack wasn’t running(my second choice was for edwards), then i would ask why do we feel like we owe the clintons and why should she not earn our vote?
KRIS) AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE NOT LOOKING FOR ANYONE TO
DO ANYTHING FOR US EXCEPT BE FAIR. WE CAN DO THE
REST FOR OURSELVES. WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR HAND
OUTS. JUST EVEN THE PLAYING FIELD FOR EVERYONE.
FOR ANYONE THAT DOES’NT UNDERSTAND THIS. DOES’NT
WANT TO! YOU SAY THAT THIS HAS NO SUBSTANCE?
YOU ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF A REALITY CHECK!
NOW THAT OUR CHOICES HAVE BECOME (DIFFERENT)
FROM WHAT WE HAVE BEEN USED TO, CERTAIN PEOPLE
THAT DO NOT WANT THINGS TO CHANGE WANT TO MAKE
MOUNTAINS OUT OF MOLE HILLS. EVEN HILLARY WITH
ALL HER EXPERIENCE CAN NOT RUN THIS COUNTRY
ALONE. BUT TO LISTEN TO HER YOU WOULD THINK
THAT SHE PLANS TO FIX THIS THING ALL BY HER SELF.
THAT SCARES ME……SOUNDS LIKE MORE MESS!!!!
KRIS I KNOW THAT YOU ARE HERE FOR THE SAKE OF
GOOD DEBATES I JUST HOPE THAT YOU DON’T REALLY
BELIEVE WHAT’S COMING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!
LILBABY26, i WAS NOT asking about bill clinton! NO ONE CAN OR WANTS TO ANSWER MY QUESTION without bringing bill or hillary into it! why is that??
CURIOUS1, i was not the one who brought up politicians doing things for black people. ESQUIRE1908 brought that up.
The question should not be what OBAMA has done for us but what have we done for ourselves. Its not or will be or ever has been his job to carry black folk his back. His job is to carry the will of the people of the USA on his back. OBAMA is a US senator not afro american only senator. The state of the black family is in dire straits. Our young black men are in prison or dying in our streets. All this was happening way before OBAMA came along. Lets start doing for ourselves before waiting on someone else to fix. I dont care if OBAMA do nothing which I doubt. When it is all said and done I will be held liable for my family and community. I will have to look in the mirror and ask myself did I raise my children to know right from wrong. To respect all people, white, black, asian,latin,young and old. Was I a good role model for the people of my community. Those are things we should all be worried about. Not what someone could, would, or should do.
barrack obama was a community organizer in the south site of chicago. last time i checked, not a lot of with people live on the south side. and he got healthcare to a lot of low income(i.e black and latino) people as far as i know. the point is that as jay mentioned that we need to really start uplifting each other up and not wait around on the clintons or obama’s or however to do it for us. yes i want a presiden tthat is sensitive to our needs, but he doesn’t need to be president of black america. if i was white i would not vote for him he was just running

i meant white people. holding a baby again
I want to make a Statement in regards to Mr Smiley. Senator Obama is running for the President of The United States, not Tavis Smiley Black Forum. Senator Obama has KEY stops here in Texas today, with Michelle meeting Monday evening with the Princinct Captains. The visits are vital in a very heated and contested race in Texas and Ohio.
With all due respect, Tavis has to get a grip on himself, as well as his entire elitus group. I’ve had great respect for Tavis, yet those who support Mr. Obama, or those of us who are working directly within his campaign will NOT allow him to sabotage this Election for all Americans, for the sake of Mr. Smiley own personal agenda. This race is bigger than Barack or Tavis, we are truley in an election for the course and direction of America for the next fours, possible eight. It Tavis or his constituents can not, or will not understand, then I believe it is them that have to reexamine if they are being most beneficial to change in black America with their theories or critiques. Senator Obama is trying to provide Change by actions.
I ask that the Lord watch over Hillary and protect her and send her straight through to the White House as President. I ask that the Lord open the eyes of our countrymen so that each and every voting person casts their votes in favor of Hillary in the White House.
I ask that the Lord show the world that Obama is an OBVIOUS reminder to Osama, an evil wrong doing never to be forgotten. I ask that the Lord rebuke Obama from the Presidential race and that Obama drops out of the race and our minds forever.
Don’t tread on me.
