Kudos to Clinton...Don't be Down Obama Fans...We did damn Good

[Bullet1987]

The most Obama may lose from tonight is the PR war...looking at how California is shaping up. But this election cycle has taught us that winning the PR war doesn't mean you'll win votes. Frankly, I don't want to see another damn poll in my life! I don't give a shit about them and tonight reinforces my hate for the whole lot of them.

Even though the Obama campaign was talking up a draw (which is what they'll get), they were clearly hoping to seriously damage Clinton tonight and that didn't happen. They really wanted to be more competitive in NJ and MA. The surprise come from behind win in MO is refreshing though, but it was a long night with both wins and losses.

Anybody who can say with a straight face that a strong winner came out tonight is lying. Obama will win the most states and be very close amoung delegates. The next few primaries/caucuses really favor him too. SUPER TUESDAY WAS A DRAW!!! But I'm sure Clinton supporters will have their heads inflated over their CA win.

Clinton did well! She held on to states she needed to win, and took the big enchilada, California. She'll probably also see a boost in money from supporters which is good news for her. Other than that though, tonight only keeps Obama alive. Nothing happened tonight that ends the race or creates a clear frontrunner.

1. WHO'S DOWN

I'm stoked...he just took MO and Alaska..and the next few weeks look good for him

and he may take NM

2. Seriously - who's down?

We weren't projected to do anything like this just 2 weeks ago. We did phenomenal, and came out with more delegates.

3. Obama did GREAT. Hillary did GREAT. But....

I'd rather be Obama's place going forward than Hillary's place.

Hillary's best shots are probably behind her.

4. I think the lead will close in CA, though she will win

Two provisional ballots for Obama in my house might represent a lot of the state. How many young voters who move twice a year do you think had perfectly up to date registrations? I trusted the DMV to change mine, and they didn't.

I'm going to make damn sure my vote was counted in 29 days--that's for real!

But I agree that we should congratulate Clinton for all her successes tonight, and above all remember: it's not over.

Almost as happy tonight as I was after SC.

6. He's got a small lead in delegates over Hillary

According to Chuck Todd at MSNBC he's got 841 to her 837. And states from here on out favor Obama. Plus he's got the money advantage.

He can go all the way!

7. I'm waiting for an OFFICIAL final delegate count...

12. Yeah not unhappy at all me. Against all odds he won.

8. Mostly all of the rest of the Feb states are favored for Obama.

We will have the momentum going into Texas and Ohio.

9. Down? After what I experienced here in neon red Idaho last night?

11. Why the hell would any Obama supporter be down. It was a huge night.

It wasn't a knock out punch by Obama, but that was a long shot anyways.

Winning most of the states, and probably most of the delegates, was a big WIN!! for Obama. Two weeks ago I assumed it was over. I think most people did.

13. I'm talking mainly about CA...
