When Huffpo thought Obama would win California.....
They boldly predicted the polls showed Obama winning by 13 points and said "CALIFORNIA WOULD DETERMINE THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE". Well guess thats good for...HILLARY!

The Huffpo all Obama all the time article:

"This year's presidential race is not, as the pundits now parrot, all about delegates. Like always the case in politics, it's about perceptions. And so whoever wins the most votes in the California battle today, and is therefore perceived to be the inevitable nominee is likely to actually become the Democratic nominee. For Obama this could be Gettysburg. For Hillary - Waterloo."

Welcome to Gettysburg, Obama!

1. Please.
Let's not be graceless.

I voted Hillary in CA but I was prepared to accept either as the state's winner.

3. Nuts!
To borrow from history at Bastogne.

The media has been thoroughly biased. This thread addresses that issue. Huffpo is one of the worst offenders.

BTW, I'm an Edwards supporter!

2. I'm really disappointed in Huffpo
They are obviously pro Obama. I've deleted my bookmarks for them and sent an email saying goodbye until after Hillary is elected.

6. Hopefully
it will be the one who doesn't rely on sloganeering and pandering to Republicans.
