    Biden may be considered popular, but he's far from good. He's about as big-government as you can get when it comes to drug policy and gun control. He helped create the so-called "Drug Czar" position, and he's worked on a bunch of anti-drug laws, including assinine laws towards illegalizing steroids. And from what I've heard, he also has yet to say the Iraq war needs to be ended outright, and has since stressed alternative strategies.

    Looks like Ohio and Texas could prove pretty decisive. In terms of actual delegates, Obama is ahead at the moment. Supposedly Clinton leads in both of those two states, though if she loses them then I'd imagine Obama would win. Of the two, as I've said, I'd prefer Clinton, though both Democratic candidates seem preferable to anything the Republican Party put forward.

    Only by a hundred or so. Even then, since Democratic primaries are proportional, even if she wins, she won't win everything. She is supposed to be ahead, but recently her numbers have been falling. Furthermore, Superdelegates can change their minds at any time, though it seems unlikely. If she does win by a fair margin, it won't serve to create a potential nominee, it'll just bring us back a peg by lessening the gap between the two.

    I'd elaborate further, but unfortunately, I have somewhere to go as of now. I'll edit or add when I get back.

    I understand the process perfectly. My point was, should Clinton lose Texas and Ohio by a significant proportion it would make the eventual winner more clear than if she were to win both of those states. That would be because it would push her rival further ahead and that Ohio (like Wisconsin) was considered more of a Clinton state than an Obama one at the beginning of the race and would show she's losing support among her own main supporters.

    Clinton winning both those states would simply ensure that she remains as big player in the race as she is currently; put simply she can't afford to fall further behind. Proportional or not, winning more states offers at least a symbolic victory. The point I was making was that after Super Tuesday, Clinton was fairly clearly ahead in the delegate count and thus she's lost ground since.

    Ahh, I see.

    I like how this thread is basically ground zero for political discussion, yet the Republican thread had, what, three pages, and half of it was talking about the Green Party. That and the internet being nothing but South Park-influenced liberals.

    That being said, I would prefer that Obama crush Clinton in the remaining states. I don't believe that any of them hold caucuses as opposed to primaries (I could be wrong), for Obama seems to do better in caucuses. Democrats need to wrap it up before hardcore conservatives start realizing that they are missing the big picture.

    And stop generalising Democrats. Im a liberal and I havent seen an episode of South Park in my life.

    Yeah, far be it for a registered Democrat to talk about other Democrats in a critical manner. We shouldn't talk about our own at all. Let the spin do that.

    Hyperbole, perhaps, but still very much representative of said population.

    ^I dont know what the hell you're going on about.

    Ehhh, its getting late and Im feeling stupider by the minute. For someone as intelligent as me, that's not a good sign.

    You sound slightly paranoid, mate. Does it really matter what other members of such a large group say about each other on a site that has relatively little in common with said group (i.e are registered democrat and post at EoFF)? I don't think Fox News can get you here

    They are so smurfing after me. It keeps me up at night. They want my blood.

    Wasn't there a whole spiel about someone claiming that Obama was Muslim, and it turned out to be false or something? I just never understood that whole situation.

    ^Fox lied, and said he went to a Madrasah which taught fundamentalist Islam.
