OMG... I THINK HE DID IT....HISTORY IS BEING MADE..

[adabfree]

RIGHT NOW..I AM OVERWHELMED...

I FEEL ALL TEARY EYED..AND THEY ARE GENUINE TEARS...

[TwilightGardener]

1. What---did Mike Gravel win a delegate?

[ronnykmarshall]

23. You are SO bad!

:spank:

[TwilightGardener]

24. ...

:D

[ronnykmarshall]

32. Duzy Nominaton !!!!!

[nonconformist]

26. ...

:spray:

[donheld]

63. He won one delicate delegate

:D

[stillrockin]

2. I feel ya.

[jlake]

3. Care to elaborate?

[AngryAmish]

4. Who is he?

What did he do?

Why are you crying?

Are you related?

[adabfree]

13. I think Obama pulled it off...not truly sure yet

I am happy because as a black woman, I am witnessing history. You may not understand and that's fine..

I have seen, lived and through much...and have heard horrific stories from my elders about the treatment they received in this country...

TO SEE THIS MOMENT IS JUST UNFUCKING BELIEVABLE..

I'm not prejudice.

I don't hate but I am overjoyed...

Truly overjoyed that this nation has grown the way that it has...

Even if he doesn't win..it shows how far we've come..

Hope that explains it..

[debbierlus]

18. He didn't.

He is behind in delegates. He may. But, no. Not yet.

[AngryAmish]

22. I think you have to get a grip

If Obama wins, ok. If he loses, OK. Our lives really won't change.

[krkaufman]

30. I don't think you get it.

It's not about Obama winning tonight or even the nomination. The poster is just overjoyed that he has made it this far, that he is effectively competing across the entire country.

[adabfree]

34. thank you

[krkaufman]

47. You're very welcome. People can be so hateful.

But don't let 'em get you down. Tonight *is* historic.

[adabfree]

52. Hey, I'm on top of the world..

Usually sleep by now..have a chemo treatment at 7am and I'm still up...lol

nothing will rain on my parade..

It is a historic night...for America...no matter how you slice the pie..

We've come a long way baby..and we need only to keep moving forward..

[krkaufman]

72. Ugh. Sorry to hear about the chemo.

Hope tonight's positive mo-jo gives your immune system a boost.

[adabfree]

79. this is fantastical...

chemo is nothing...I'm alive...and kicking...and see our world changing before my eyes


I am happy and grateful

[krkaufman]

85. Re: "and see our world changing before my eyes"

Great outlook.

Reminds me of the sadness I occasionally feel thinking that Molly Ivins didn't get to hang around to see the total disintegration of Bush, Rove and the Republican Party... and how much she would have enjoyed this election.

[adabfree]

89. She would have loved every minute of it

But I'm betting she has a ringside seat elsewhere

[krkaufman]

90. May it be so... n/t

[VolcanoJen]

48. Really.

The cynicism is depressing.

[nonconformist]

57. This is what 8 years of Bush destroying our country does to a person.

And lump me in with the cynics.

[krkaufman]

91. Really?

I'm hypothesizing here, but I doubt that "cynicism" accurately or fairly describes the feelings or outlook of someone who's faced a lifetime of racism, whether overt or more subtle.

[krkaufman]

28. I choked-up at "I have seen, lived and..."

Gotta agree.

I'm voting for Obama because of an issues gap between the two, but, as a side benefit, I'd love to win in November with Obama because I feel a black man winning the Presidency would effectively break the glass ceiling for both our candidates' demographics... women and minorities.

I hear your joy, and am happy for you -- and pleasantly pleased that I can feel moderately less ashamed of my country. The exit polls may indicate that we're not wholly free of racism and sexism, but we've definitely come a long way, baby, considering where we were less than 45 years ago.

[AZBlue]

35. You're right.

This is unbelievable. He's doing great, no matter what the final numbers are. Don't let the sarcasm get you down - people are just extra "snarky" here lately.

:pals:

[frogcycle]

44. And THAT is indeed the big message of the night

MLK would be pretty damned happy tonight.

[EffieBlack]

53. I understand and feel you completely

This is absolutely incredible, isn't it?

:hug:

[RoyGBiv]

5. Here's the thing ...

Doesn't matter who wins this thing.

History will have been made.

We should take some pride in that.

[KAZ]

12. Bravo! It's been a great night! An Nov. will be even greater! n/t

[kath]

25. I'd rather have a real Democrat as the nominee, rather than a "history-making" one.

sorry to piss in your cornflakes. But I really HATE government of the corporation, by the corporation, and for the corporation...

I'm old enough to remember when the Democratic party stood up for working people and the poor and downtrodden. Plus both of my grandfathers were union organizers back in the 30s and 40s, so of course were staunch Democrats.

[RoyGBiv]

38. Ah, yes, the "real Democrat" meme ...

Here's the other thing.

Neither one person nor one faction defines what is a "real Democrat." Christians play this game all the time, and it's not resulted in much utility there either.

The Democratic party is, today, with our two major Presidential candidates at the helm, more "progressive" than it was in those mythical good-old-days when supposedly Democrats stood for the working man -- working man if he was a he and if he was white, you mean. Progressivism for whites only was the rallying cry uttered in hushed tones where that wasn't all that much of a concern and through a loudspeaker where it got votes.

[kath]

58. granted, things have changed, but at least back then the Dems were not controlled by big

corporations. Clinton and Obama are not progressives. Jeebus, this country has moved so far to the right over the past 40-50 years that both of them are to the right of Richard Nixon. No way in hell would someone like FDR have even a ghost of a chance. Sickening. (and as a Yurpeen posted here the other day, Kucinich would be considered a mainstream candidate in most Yurpeen countries, but here he's branded as a far-left-wing kook).

[RoyGBiv]

70. But that's not true ...

Not as stated.

Corporations as they exist today did not exist "back in the day," but those that did had politicians from both parties firmly in their pockets.

The legal fiction of corporate personhood has not been seriously challenged by either of the major parties at any time in this nation's history, and both parties have strongly benefited from corporate influence, much to the detriment of the individual.

I share your concern about corporate influence, but I cannot throw our candidates to the wind because of it. No *President* is going to roll back corporate personhood to any significant degree. They don't have the power, not if they hold themselves within their Constitutional authority, and more than a century of case law exists that must be addressed. The best one can hope for at the moment is the appointment of an AG that enforces regulation and a Congress that seeks to enact more of those regulations for the AG to enforce. Beyond that, we look for SCOTUS nominees that might put a break on this thing, but even there, you're not looking at one Presidency. You're looking at a half century of it at least.

Or ... a total meltdown of society that forces drastic change. One or the other.

[Whisp]

6. speak it! I've been distracted. what's on your mind?

!!!
:)

[karlrschneider]

7. OMG he really did...kill Natalie Holloway!

This is HUGH

[buff2]

8. LOL!

:rofl:

[SallyMander]

9. OJ Simpson?

Well, duh.

[libertee]

10. you must be referring to Huckabee..How big of you!

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

11. PLEASE FIND YOUR MEDS... OR AT THE LEAST THE CAPS LOCK KEY.

[KitchenWitch]

15. WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU

[Abacus]

19. Are you serious?

Your name is OPERATIONMINDCRIME...

[mudesi]

29. LOL!

Seriously!

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

37. Really? Are You Really That Easy To Please?

Simple minds I guess... :rofl:

[mudesi]

40. Even you have to admit you lost this one

You, of all people, whose name is ALL CAPS, telling someone to lay off the CAPS lock?

Not to mention that you Capitalize Every Word Of Your Subject Line.

Again, :rofl:

[Name removed]

42. Deleted sub-thread

[krkaufman]

55. Exactly. And he/she is running about blasting everyone for laughing at them.

:rofl:, indeed.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

61. Just Being Honest About The Level Of Stupidity/Immaturity It Takes To Not Be Able To Discern

the difference.

But then, you didn't even know what discern means, so I digress LOL

[krkaufman]

71. I thought you were going to beddy-bye, little one? n/t

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

74. Why Does It Not Surprise Me That You Were Wrong There Too?

You obviously think a lot of things that aren't all that intellectually accurate.

[krkaufman]

76. You try far too hard, like someone stretching for the cookie jar ...

... just out of their reach.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

78. Actually, It Takes Quite Little Effort To Deal With 3rd Grade Children.

And you just want me to reach the cookie jar so you can have one. But how many times do I have to tell you no cookies before bedtime? And no running! We don't need you slipping on the floor in your footie pajamas!

[krkaufman]

81. There, there... li'l tike... there, there. Don't get yourself too worked-up, now. n/t

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

83. I Said No Cookies For You. Please Don't Throw A Tantrum.

[krkaufman]

86. Dude. I know the writers are on strike, but that's no reason not to gen your own material. n/t

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

82. So By Your Logic,

Posting a thread where one word is in caps, is the equivalent of posting an entire irrational sounding thread in which every word is in all caps?

Ummmm, yeah. That makes loadsssssssss of sense.

:rofl:

[adabfree]

49. Obviously You're in pain...hopefully it will pass...

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

54. Yes. I Am. My Ears Are Still Ringing From Your Insane Shouting.

I know it will pass though. Thanks for caring. :hi:

[tkmorris]

88. Good ole OMC

It's nice to know some people never change, no matter what.

:beer:

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

33. Why Yes... Yes It Is.

And don't you forget it either pal. Cause if this is the type of mentality I can expect to see from you, then you'll be seeing a lot more of me. :hi:

[krkaufman]

36. Nice catch! How ironic..... n/t

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

39. Are You Really So Intellectually Ignorant As To Not Be Able To Discern A Difference?

Wow. How sad for you.

[krkaufman]

43. Discern a difference between what?

Your post seems misdirected.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

45. Ohhhhhh kkkkkk. Ya Answered My Question Without Even Knowing It LOL

Nite! :hi:

[krkaufman]

50. What a plurd. I'll see your 'Nite!' and raise you a Goodbye! n/t

[xmas74]

56. Which is only like,

the coolest Queensryche album.

I used to listen to it all the time.

[Whisp]

14. k, I thot I heard on pbs that obama won more states and more delegates.

I am not sure.
is this what the CAPS are about?

[Eurobabe]

16. What did Huckster beat McCain???

[krkaufman]

41. You're obviously shi**ting on someone else's parade, here....

... but it IS pleasing to see Huckabee throwing a wrench into the Republican works tonight. Poor Romney looked like he was about to cry up on that stage.

[Eurobabe]

51. Romney is roasted like a marshmallow

over a slow fire. I love it.

[krkaufman]

68. It *is* difficult to completely shut-out the transient moments ...

... of schadenfreude. They're coming too fast and furious.

• Romney being outdone by Huckabee.
  
• McCain failing to seal the deal.
  
• 9iu11ani and Fred Thompson flaming out.
  
• Republicans being down to three tremendously bad candidates...
  
• ... with their already limited fundraising being drained by an ever-extending campaign.

November is ours to lose.

[Eurobabe]

73. I pick Huckster shutting down Romney

All the talking heads are intimating that Romney didn't go "scorched earth" so that he could run again. See ya WILLARD. :hi:

BWAHAHHAAAA!!! :rofl: :rofl:

[krkaufman]

77. Yeah, I think that's tonight's big surprise.

Though I forgot to mention one other bit of schadenfreude... the media getting it wrong, yet again. They were all saying that it was down to McCain and Romney, and that McCain was going to wrap it up tonight.

... sigh ... how pleasant.

[adabfree]

62. Agreed...he look waxen and ill...

As they say in my neck of the woods: Huckabee...has tossed the salad and walked the dog..

[krkaufman]

87. I don't know... and I'm not certain I want to know ...

... just what those phrases mean. :)

[AlCzervik]

17. WHATEVER IT IS I'M SURE HE DIDN'T MEAN TO. YOU KIDS WILL WORK IT OUT.

[Bonobo]

20. I felt that way when my baby learned to use the pottie for the first time too! *sniff*

[Uzybone]

21. Did what??

is he President yet?

[nonconformist]

27. Like this?

[Beausoir]

31. OMG! LIKEZ U R TOTALLY WRONGZ!

[bidenista]

46. I FEEL ALL NAUSEATED

AND IT IS GENUINE NAUSEA.

Here, have one of these:

[adabfree]

66. thank you...need those

you are so kind.

[eleny]

59. My goosebumps are getting goosebumps

:pals:

[blue neen]

60. You have every right to feel like celebrating.

Don't mind all the snark here.

[catagory5]

64. didnt Hillary win more delegates ?

???

[adabfree]

67. thank you...

I plan to...it is a good day for America, no matter how you slice the pie...

[psychopomp]

65. Yes, it is a good day for the United States

I am proud that we are turning the page to a new chapter in our history.

GObama! :toast: :bounce: :party: :grouphug:

[Raine]

69. It's a WONDERFUL night

whether Obama takes it tonight or not he's done TERRIFIC! Don't let anyone get you down! :hi:

[krkaufman]

75. e.g.

This ain't your grandfathers' Presidential primary...

[adabfree]

80. HALLELUJAH!

and

AMEN!

[Libby2]

84. Yes, history is being made, on a couple of fronts.
