I think it made a difference in Texas. McCain will carry Texas in the fall with about 57 percent of the vote unless something really strange happens. I don't know about other states. If it is open primaries, I think republicans probably voted for Clinton to keep the race going.

Rush just needs to shut up, he is full of hot air. Basically this democrat race isn't over, obama didn't make any head way and neither did hillary the numbers will still be the same obama leading her by over 130 delegates. The only thing that can help them right now is picking up superdelegates.

Yeah you are right. It would take a lot of people voting to even add up to 1 percent. I doubt it made much of a difference.

Rush has become shamelessly racist. I can't believe any one thinks what he is doing now is funny.

I just can't believe that some Republican leader has not stood up and said that Rush's racist comments do not reflect the opinions of the Republican Party. I would think a lot more of McCain or President Bush if they would tell Rush in front of the world to STFU. That would be moral leadership.

I think what she should do is recognize that for her, this election is over. In my opinion, she has emerged as a political force independent of Bill Clinton. It would seem that her best strategy would be determine how she can use her own standing now to emerge as a leader who can accomplish her own agenda. She is a very strong advocate for women, for health care and many other key areas. She also is a strong advocate of getting us out of the war. Regardless if she plays her hand right she can emerge as a key voice for the party and perhaps a statesman. She can use her new standing to really accomplish a lot in regard to her own priorities. In doing so, she certainly establishes herself as a leader and opens the door for another campaign. So I think now is a good time for her to figure out what she needs to do to make sure that she is a force into the future and that she is able to use that to accomplish her policy goals.

I guess she can keep tilting at windmills, but this election is over for her.

Well who knows about Oregon at this point but the polls were wrong about NC since it seems like he's going to win by 14% and she's currently up by only 4% in IN. Even if she increases her lead when they're done counting, it's unlikely that she'll get anywhere near a double digit lead.

I guess they were accurate or at least more accurate than whatever poll you were saying was more accurate.

CNN is saying this race is too close to call, if obama ends up winning this like he did with Missouri when they were really close, this will be a big upset. ITA to everything Jess said, I think hillary should just call it a day, she's is not gonna win this election, obama lead is too big and I seriously doubt the SD's are gonna place their votes behind someone that is in second place. I won't be surprised tomorrow if obama gains alot more SD's. I'm still open to hillary being VP, but I don't think obama is open to that. :lol:

I don't know.

The party may want that, and it maybe a concession from him, but I KNOW he doesn't want to do that. It truly depends. But.......he better not cut his throat for her. In order to save her legacy, she needs him......

He doesn't need her.

      My first thought was that Amanda was supposed to come back. Kathleen did come back briefly Christmas 1987, maybe that was supposed to be a permanent return and they changed their minds? The OTHER possibility: there were a few hints dropped when Alan returned in 1986 that he had some kind of tragic romance while he was away, possibly in San Rios. Maybe they were going to bring in another daughter that way? Is it possible DORIE was slated to be revealed as his daughter? Yeah, she was too old, but this is a soap. In our perception he was gone 2 years, but maybe it was longer in soap years. I always wondered why they never took advantage of that two-year gap. Lots of backstory they could have created. They eventually did do that with Roger.   Interesting how that commentator had no problem revealing the backstage chaos at the time. Seemed to even piss her off a little.

      LOL - well ironically, on their last night in Florida, Reva and Buzz got into a car wreck while tailing Alan and his business associate. They were trying to prove that Alan was in charge of that Avnet company that was creating issues with the 5th Street rebuild (which of course Alan was, and of course Alan lied to Alan-Michael about it on his wedding day, etc). But yeah, Reva was trapped in the car for a bit, but they were able to get her out before it caught on fire and exploded.  It became sort of a non-event after a couple episodes, but Reva needs to avoid cars in Florida

        You’re welcome!   You have such a great memory, which I love. I guess I’m not surprised it was panned by the press, but I do think there were some gems within (the nuptials, Alex/Amanda sharing a room, Nadine shoutouts, etc). I’m a huge fan of soap opera openings, mildly obsessed because it’s so nostalgic for me. While I didn’t watch GL back then, I still knew their 90s opening generally and always loved it. The dramatic music and lighthouse effects that start it out always gets me excited, very reminiscent of AMC’s or GH’s dramatic opening music overlaying the scene. I was just so frustrated how infrequently they updated it in 1995 and into 1996, so I’m so happy to see the updated versions. I’m now a few more episodes into May and the second/B opening just debuted and I love it!  It closes with Dinah. I loved, loved the version with Harley and her dancing as it closes out. Tangie replaced her, which wasn’t as great, but then when she left, it was just a fireplace closing out the opening for 9 months. Now we have Reva and Dinah, but still nothing beats Harley’s scene in that spot.

      Dani: I am not ashamed of you. Just look at you! But I thought we agreed to keep this quiet. Andre: Do you see anyone else in this room? This is quiet. It's just you & me & me wanting to know what's happening here? Dani: Well, Andre, when 2 people, let's say, are highly compatible, have chemistry, etc., etc., etc. there's this fascinating thing called sex! It's like a mutual hobby but sweatier. Andre: Yeah, more entertaining & very fulfilling. I'm just saying what else is there to us? Dani: And, you do it very, very well. I didn't hear you complaining earlier. Andre: I mean, I'm not, but I also like you when we're not having sex. Dani: Is that unusual for you? Andre: I mean, I hate to admit it, but yeah, ... Before by now, I'd be feeling restless & ready to make my next move, but with you, it's different. Why can't we take this to the next level? Dani: When I was with Bill, I gave him everything that made me me, to the point where I didn't recognize myself. I can't risk the abyss again.  Andre: You know I wouldn't ask you to do that, right? Dani: I know what a good man you are. I need time to figure out the kind of woman I am. I need to keep us where we are right now. Does that make sense? Andre: Yeah. Yeah, of course. You do you and I'll do you. I'm gonna go.  BTG 5-19-25 S1E55 Dani & Andre talk after sex
