- On 129 times, or more, Barack Hussein Obama voted "PRESENT" as a State Senator, when he could have voted Yes or No! UNBELIEVABLE INDECISION-ISN''''T It? Posted by dumbshun
Well, it you understand the Illinois Legislature it not that unbelieveable. Unlike Congress and the legislatures of most other states, each chamber of the Illinois Legislature requires a `constitutional majority` to pass a bill. The state Senate has 59 members, so it takes 30 affirmative votes. This makes a `present` vote the same as a no. If a bill receives 29 votes, but the rest of the senators vote `present,` it fails.
In Congress, in contrast, a bill can pass in either the House or the Senate as long as more people vote for it than against it. If 10 people vote in favor and nine against, and the rest either vote `present` or don`t vote at all, the bill passes. It can actually pass with just one vote, as long as no one votes no.
In the Illinois Senate, there can be strategic reasons for voting `present` rather than simply no. A member might approve the intent of legislation, but not its scope or the way it has been drafted. A `present` vote can send a signal to a bill`s sponsors that the legislator might support an amended version. Voting `present` can also be a way to exercise fiscal restraint, without opposing the subject of the bill. - Reply to this comment
- "If you use the electoral votes, Hillary is still leading 205 to 193 for Obama. General Election is run on the basis of winner take all and electoral votes are what count. If Hillary wins Texas and Ohio and RI, and Obama wins VT, she will get 263 electoral votes and he will have only 196 votes. Even if Hillary loses Texas, she will still lead 229 to 227.
So this race is not over yet. Obama has won mostly in states that are Republican states and he won because of crossover votes from Republicans and Hillary has won all Democratic states. So Hillary should be the real Nominee."

Very interesting perspective, Jack. Makes it clear that Hillary is still very much in the race and there is no way she should step down at this point.
Averaged general election polls from the last few days show that Hillary is only 0.8% behind McCain in a one-on-one national election. (Poll results at www.realclearpolitics.com). Those who say she can''t win the election are merely expressing their own personal prejudices.
I am an Independent supporting Hillary Clinton. - Reply to this comment
- How can CBS News/60 Minutes allow such lines of questions regarding Se. Obama''s religious demomination !!!! Are those who are Muslims, all terrible people......I do not see any other candidates being questioned about their religious affiliation!! Your shows should not reinforce the fears of ignorant people...shame on you!!

- The Clinton Regimen brought in demoralization by allowing the highest seat in the house to say by action that it is okay for you to have *** with anyone, anywhere, anytime and then lie about. Look what that taught our children, and the results.
LOL -- News Flash: Republicans were having adulterous and premarital *** for decades before Clinton was even born. Humans have been doing it since they first began to marry. For god''s sake, grow up. - Reply to this comment
- After the trash that has come out of the Clinton campaign these past few weeks, I will personally refuse to vote for her if indeed she becomes the nominee. As repugnant and offensive as I find republicans in general I will vote for McCain before her.

- Hillary is indeed the enemy. I am not meaning to tear her down but what she stands for will destroy this country. The Clinton Regimen brought in demoralization by allowing the highest seat in the house to say by action that it is okay for you to have *** with anyone, anywhere, anytime and then lie about. Look what that taught our children, and the results. Now Hillary comes to say that Hope is not a premise to campaign when Hope is all we have, politics isn''t working. She is a hypocrite in that she must have hope to think she can win. So she comes to take Hope from a people. That is the work of the enemy. She can''t run her own house what makes her think she can run a country, she failed at being the First Lady, now President. Wake up people. Sen. Obama is by far the better candidate because he is in no ones pocket and he''s not playing the "I wanna be President game." He has the testimony of Hope and if He can, we all can. Ohio is a praying State. God will prevail. It''s A New Day, A Time for Change and Yes We Can!!!
