Cynthia McKinney, with 4 votes so far, handily winning the Green Party presidential nomination in Nebraska.

how many greens are there in nebraska? 6?

Apparently there's 10 right now.

And four candidates for the Green Party presidential nomination.

they can hold their convention in your garage.

I like the way nebraska does it. you always know where you are in the process, instead of scouring the world for county results, and making a ton of assumptions on what must still be out based on what you can find.

I looked up the primary results from last month:

Quote

With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Childers had 31,138 votes, or 49.4 percent, while Davis had 31,066 votes, or 46.3 percent. Only Childers and Davis will compete in the run-off.

davis is the republican.

According to the DUmpmokeys doesn't that describe all white people except for the 99-44/100th% white DU total membership?

Secretary of State (Nebraska) site really slow.

Just really damned slow.

They must have counted on having only a couple dozen hits tonight, and so adjusted their bandwidth accordingly.

she's even doubling him up in huntington county (marshall university) and monongalia county (WVU). I thought he might run better in the northern panhandle, but his best county there is ohio county; he's at 58-36 with 100% in.

Poor Greg Davis!!! He's a really nice guy and he's been a good mayor. My parents like him a lot. He took John Grisham's seat in the MS legislature when he decided to write full time.

the DUmmies aren't the point in this case, I don't think. the idea is to explain away this blowout as the result of covert racism, and to provide a front story moving forward into the general that only latent racists would oppose obama in the general election.

the public is being blackmailed before the general even gets off the ground.

Unfortunately, the demographics may work against Davis.

the mississippi republicans ran hard against the national dems in this race, including obama, but especially pelosi. if we lose here, the conclusion will be, of course, that the whole line of reasoning was rebuked in a southern state, and that (I am sure some will try to argue) the dems and obama can compete in the south in november.

I lived in WV years ago. there was a lot of good hair there. it was all on chicks . . . maybe some hillary supporters are abanding her for silky pony.

no, seriously, I would assume his hyper-populist platform does resonate with many west virginians.
