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.

      2025: The Directors and Writers Thread

      By VelekaCarruthers · Posted

      Dan O'Connor was not listed with breakdown writers Tuesday, May 20th (I didn't see the credits on Monday). He was listed with the script writers. Kathryn Schock's name is also gone from the credits as of Tuesday (may have been gone Monday as well.)

      7th Heaven reboot in the works

      The three producers seem to bring different aspects: Anthony Sparks brings his experience showrunning Queen Sugar and as one of the Bel-Air producers -- that is major. DeVon Franklin has experience producing faith-based shows. (Sparks and Franklin are both Black.) Jessica Biel brings her familiar name but as a producer and not an actor here -- so basically she's there to bring in the money, and also has small amount of experience producing another show.

      Call me crazy but I still think there’s hope for them. Their scenes today proved it to me. I loved how they were there for each other and talked about what’s going on with their fathers. And how Belle helped Shawn get a lead on Kevin’s roommate. Their relationship, at the moment, seems so natural. In a way, it reminds me of how Sami/Rafe were after they got divorced. And while I do like Shawn/Jada and EJ/Belle as couples, I’m looking forward to going along for the ride and (hopefully) seeing Shawn and Belle find their way back to each other. And I still think there’s hope for Gabi and JJ too. I don’t see them as an endgame couple but I do enjoy them together. Javi was a pain in the ass though and kinda messed up their scenes. And also messed up Gabi’s reunion with Arianna. Speaking of Arianna, I’m glad that she’s back in Salem. And she did have a point about Gabi and Javi. But yeah, Javi’s still a pain in the ass lol his scenes with Leo weren’t bad though, surprisingly. Mostly because they were centered around him and not Leo. That definitely wouldn’t have happened a few months ago It’s too soon to make any judgments about the actress playing Arianna but I’m looking forward to seeing her storyline. And to seeing the interactions that she has with other characters on the canvas. Hopefully, she won’t be friendly with the guy who tortured and sexually assaulted her fathers.  I also enjoyed Julie’s reunion with Doug III. Her being so stubborn and resistant today was classic Julie. I still kinda feel bad for Doug III though.

      7th Heaven reboot in the works

      By te. · Posted

      I have a new storyline for the "diverse" 7th Heaven reboot! The WASP family has a foster child called Gilberta. She's an AA kid whose mother is addicted to crack marijuana! The devil's seed! Either way, she's been integrated into this WASP family and shock/horror, Marijuana Mommy comes back! What will happen? Well, I will tell you - first it seems like Marijuana Mommy has her [!@#$%^&*] together and she gets her kid back! The WASPs are sad. Then it turns out that Marijuana Mommy is still on the dope and selling tricks talking to strange men on the corner! Plus, foster child (Gilberta) talks about how much she loves the WASPs. The episode ends in tears with Gilberta back with the WASPs! Also, Marijuana Mommy goes away, acknowledging how much better parents the WASPs are. The end. Why haven't The Great American Family hired me yet? I can feel the audience will watch this and cry a lot of tears.

      I’m thinking Taylor’s resurrection a few months later caused the show to change course and cut her return short. If true, I wonder what the original plan for this storyline would have been? Amnesiac Ridge getting Morgan pregnant again?

      re the penthouse.  I can't recall exactly but I think that it was used  for several years. Leslie moved to the cottage. Was that when she married Rick or before? Anyway, maybe Tracey took up residence? Don't know whether she bought it from Lesley, or they just re-used the set pretending it was a different place.
