An emotional Hillary Clinton today declared an end to her bid for the White House. Clinton failed to really get on track with voters at any point this year - a victory in the Utah primary the high water mark of her 2008 campaign.

Clinton leaves with 48 delegates to her credit, and no immediate plan for endorsing another candidate.

With all the malice over this on the news, your thread is great fun Matt!

Glad you are enjoying it Chris. I'm having fun running the thing - although I continue to be perplexed by the closeness of the Democratic race. I also have to figure out how to work the endorsements of those candidates with delegates to offer. I might have to rig up some kind of randomizer.

A note to Giantsfan and anyone else who is new to the thread - there is a partner thread here, where you can nominate a running mate for Giuliani.

I hope both parties beat the hell out of each other...

giantsfan07830 · 03-24-2008, 11:29 PM

I'm shooting for mid-week. I might have some time tomorrow afternoon, but more likely Wednesday.

Chris Dodd might just surprise us all. He seems to be right there with Edwards. The question is does he have the time to pull out the victory?

He could make the margin up in a couple of primaries. There are still 20 or so left.

It's anybody's contest. Richardson, even Obama, has a statistical chance to catch Edwards.

Polls are open, and the Potomac Primaries have begun in the states of Maryland and Virginia, as well as in the District of Columbia. Senators Edwards, Dodd and Obama and Governor Richardson are all on the ballot in Maryland and Virginia. Dodd, Edwards and Richardson are also on the Washington D.C. ballot.

Senator Obama needs again to pull out a win today to continue his campaign.

Results will be posted as they are received.

Senator Christopher Dodd tonight has annihilated both Senator Edwards and Governor Richardson to claim victory in the District of Columbia tonight.

Washington D.C. has 37 delegates, but only 15 are committed. Dodd will collect 11 of the 15, with the other 4 going to Edwards.

Baltimore - An extraordinarily close race throughout the day, the Maryland primary looks like it will come down to a few hundred votes between current Democratic front-runner John Edwards and New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. Senator Barack Obama, who desperately needs a win tonight, looks to be out of the running, as does Senator Christopher Dodd.

Notification will be issued once a winner has been determined.

Dodd talks with reporters shortly after being notified of his win in Virginia.

Alexandria - Senator Christopher Dodd pulled off a huge win in Virginia tonight, making him two for three in today's contests, and, at least temporarily, vaulting him into the lead in the race for the Democratic nomination.

Dodd gleaned strong support from every part of the state, coasting to an unexpectedly easy victory. Governor Bill Richardson is the runner up, with Senator Barack Obama in third.

Democratic Delegates won in Virginia:
Dodd - 60
Richardson - 29
Obama - 12

Delegate count overall:

Democratic - 2025 needed

Christopher Dodd - 630

John Edwards - 600

Bill Richardson - 548

Barack Obama - 291

Out of the Race

Hillary Clinton - 48

Joe Biden - 27

Mike Gravel - 18

02/13/08

Baltimore - Final results have been tallied, and Senator John Edwards has been declared winner in the closely contested Maryland primary. All four of the candidates leave Maryland with at least a handful of delegates, the result of scattered support for each of them. Unfortunately for Obama, the 13 delegates he takes from Maryland will do little to shore up his flagging campaign.

Obama is expected to drop out of the race in the next few days.

The next big Democratic date on the calendar is Tuesday, February 19th, when Wisconsin's 74 pledged delegates will be up for grabs. The Hawaii Democratic caucus (20 pledged delegates) will be conducted on the same day.

Democratic Delegates won in Maryland:
Edwards - 26
Richardson - 20
Obama - 13
Dodd - 11

Delegate count overall:

Democratic - 2025 needed

Christopher Dodd - 641

John Edwards - 626

Bill Richardson - 568

Barack Obama - 304

Out of the Race

Hillary Clinton - 48

Joe Biden - 27

Mike Gravel - 18
