Back in Oct-Nov, I really gave up on him. I still gave him little chance coming into tonight. To think that the delegate count will now depend upon California and post-Super Tuesday states is a 180 from my mindset a couple months ago.

I just can't believe it.

5. How 'bout we wait for the results to come in before that...
And truly, I feel sorry for Hillary's VP, whoever it is. They will be competing with Bill for anything close to real responsibility.

12. The Clintons will be radioactive
I say they because it's obvious that it's a package deal if she wins. There will be scandals galore. He would be wise to stay in the Senate and out of the gutter in which they exist.

Of course it's all moot because he's going to win the nomination.

8. What an inane thing to say. If you knew me you'd know I'd never compare
Obama to McCain.

My point was that this primary season has been all over the place. One day there's a sure thing, the next day it's not so sure.

I really resent your implication.

By the way, if you're assuming I'm a Hillary supporter, you're wrong, so I don't understand where your venom is coming from.

14. I thought for a long time that he couldn't do it
I remember months and months ago, well before anyone started to vote how I thought that Obama was going to be the guy who surprisingly disappoints despite his huge sums of cash raised. I thought that because of how he used to be in 3rd place in Iowa, and Clinton was ahead so far in most places that I didn't think he could recover from it.
