I see some Obama supporters getting pretty cocky
Based on some early exit polls. Remember 2004, and how we all get burned by those exit polls. I wouldn't get too high on early exit polls.

I say that as an Obama supporter.

Remember, if you dish it out now, and it goes the other way, you're gonna get it coming from the other direction.

3. They should be confident
Hopefully they will show some humility in victory as the night progresses.

7. Waaaaaaaaaaay to early yet
I don't see cocky but they do have Georgia and that is reason to be exited. I look for 10 threads PER state for most of the night.

13. An off topic comment, but you're about to hit 1,000 posts, NoBorders.
Make the next one count!

Yes, right now we've only got exit polls to go on. They give us hope. But cockiness is unbecoming anywhere.

14. Oh I know. I'm keeping my expectations low.
I'm okay with him losing CA, MA, and NJ so long as he comes within a few points.

It's all about the delegates. Not the popular vote.

18. I've been seeing Hillary supporters being obnoxiously cocky for weeks now
I haven't seen many in at least a few days though. I love ignore. :D
