Obama was supposed to be the one with the huge momentum
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 12:04 AM by AGirl
The polls showing the tight race, The music video, the endorsements, the celebrities, the huge bias in the media reporting; as it turns out, Clinton fought these all off and come back ahead.

This woman is such an inspiration.

2. Obama was down 20pts a few weeks back. Where have you been?
This is incredible, and he's likely going to end up with more delegates after the night is through.

3. Both did very well
but I think the fact that Obama came from 20+ points back in many states indicated momentum.

4. If you say so.
I would say now that Obama has erased what was once a big deficit he has the momentum.

6. don't be ridiculous. She's the one that was up in more polls.
He's closed the gap considerably. Whatever else she is, she's no underdog. That's just wacked out spin.

7. Um, those don't influence hundreds of thousands of voters
especially not latinos and the more elderly. I don't know what you are smoking, thinking music videos win an election. Of course, they provide some boost, but not that much.

8. And he's got it.
A couple weeks ago Hillary was expected to lock it up tonight.

9. Are you being serious?
10 days ago, Obama was looking to win 2 states (including his home state). Clinton was expected to bury him tonight. "Obama was supposed to be the one with the huge momentum" - No, but it turned out that way. He took the wind out of Clinton's sails tonight.

11. You got that totally backwards
Obama came from behind and broke Hillary's huge lead, she's now "evitable" instead of "inevitable". :-)

12. He's kicking ass!
Did you see the string of states he's won?

A few weeks ago, Hillary was supposed to walk away with the vast majority of this thing. Ms. Inevitable is not doing very well!

13. Won more states, and won more delegates........WTF are you talking about?
He carried the day.

At the end of the day, his delegate lead increased... and he has won more states than Hillary.


Spin all you want, AGirl..... Tonight was supposed to be the night your candidate won the nomination.... instead, she LOST GROUND.


You Clinton supporters are not in touch with reality.

14. I see politics aren't your forte
Hillary will be lucky to finish second in a two-candidate race.

15. The SURGE is GONE WITH THE WIND...
Ophra and Teddy couldn't do the job and voters are starting to see Obama as the snake~oil salesman that he is.

:kick: and recommend
