Obama gets nomination without Ohio votes
DENVER - Barack Obama won one election without Ohio’s votes.
On Wednesday, Aug. 27, the Democrats officially nominated Barack Obama for president by acclamation before the Ohio delegation got a chance to cast its 162 votes.
The nomination came when Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York, Obama’s chief rival for the nomination, called for the nomination by acclamation and the convention roared its approval. Ohio’s delegation joined in the roaring as delegates shouted “aye” on the motion to nominate Obama.
Clinton spoke after first New Mexico and then Illinois yielded the floor to New York during the roll call vote. At that point Obama had 1,549.5 votes and Clinton had 341.5 votes. He needed 2,110 for the nomination.
Ohio was prepared to cast 130 votes for Obama and 22 for Clinton, said Ohio Democratic Chairman Chris Redfern.
Others in Ohio’s 162-member delegation either didn’t cast their votes in time or weren’t there, said Redfern. As for Ohio not getting to announce its votes, Redfern said.
“We’re disappointed, but it’s not about us.” He said he felt good and planned to have a “Budweiser.”

I believe that Obama’s popularity is at an all time low as he has embarassed himself and America for his lack of social skills in England. OBama is attempting to mess with a giant airline production because the labor is not unionized. OBama hinders success. We must see him out of the White House in 2012.
