Primary News: No Florida Re-Vote

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/03/17/florida.primary.decision/index.html

At best we'll see a 50/50 split or maybe they will give all the delegates a half vote. Either way, Florida's trainwreck is finally cleared up and we can move on.

Bill Foster wins today! Wait.. who's Bill Foster?

http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/3/8/212426/1482/327/472580

This is worth reading about. tl;dr - Obama helps get a guy elected, McCain helps the guy's rival. Obama's guy, Foster, wins. But there's more to it, so read the article

Thanks "cocteau"

Math time with goon "Smackbilly"

Math fun time:

Obama's delegate spread following the Wyoming caucus is better than it was before March 4. Hillary has gained nothing.

According to CNN, the pledged delegates have broken:

TX (Primary): Clinton +4
OH: Clinton +12
RI: Clinton +5
VT: Obama +3
-------------
Subtotal: Clinton +18

TX (Caucus) delegates have not been projected yet, but if take the current 56/44 results and assume that the 67 caucus delegates will be apportioned that way, that makes

TX (Caucus): Obama +9
---------------------
Subtotal: Clinton +9

Wyoming is splitting 7-4 +1 bonus for Obama, so

WY: Obama +4
---------------------
Subtotal: Clinton +5

And according to
http://demconwatch.blogspot.com/2008/01/superdelegate-list.html , from March 4 until now, Obama has gained 10 superdelegate endorsements, and clinton has gained 4, so

Superdelegates (since 3/4): Obama +6
------------------------------------
GRAND TOTAL: Obama +1

Oh, and it looks like California is finished counting votes and the delegate count has slightly shifted, giving Obama another +3 or +4.

Not a bad week :)

A win in Wyoming!

Contests won with 60% or more of the vote:

Barack Obama: 14 States + DC + VI
* Virgin Islands (89.9%)
* Idaho (79%)
* Hawaii (76%)
* Alaska (75%)
* District of Columbia (75%)
* Kansas (74%)
* Washington (68%)
* Nebraska (68%)
* Minnesota (67%)
* Colorado (67%)
* Georgia (67%)
* Illinois (65%)
* Virginia (64%)
* Maryland (62%)
* Wyoming (61%)
* North Dakota (61%)

Hillary Clinton: 1 State
* Arkansas (70%)

How much do goons give, Part I

Forum poster "Pillowpants" has spent a lot of time recently going through all non-archived Obamarama threads and coming up with some statistics about donations. Here is the post he made today with some results.

Final Numbers: After Reading Threads 12-25, getting A LOT of PMs and IM's, reading 1415 pages, 52,175 posts, and seeing our threads have over 3 million page views (13 and 14 were moved to the archives before I could get a pageview number out of them, but 15-25 have 2.6 million page views.)

Going by Threads

Total: $67396

Individual Donations
Donors: 752 donors, 1144 donations
Total cash raised: $80,091.04
Total Pennies Donated: $17.30
Total $ per donation: $70
Total $ per donor: $106.50

Again....The total donated has hit eighty thousand dollars.

We stopped donating on Thread 24 and he lost two major primaries. This can't happen.

So again, if you have private messaging enabled, send me one with your Donation total, # of donations, and whether or not you want to be identified.

I have 3 Goons who want to remain anonymous who have donated a total of $505.80. I will add you to that.

If you have AIM, my screen name is pillowpants1982. Catch me there, I will be on all day.

Once again, $80,000!!!!

Great job people.
