Don't you guys get it?...No one won.

I'm slogging through all these posts, getting more and more disgusted with each one I read.

If the delegate count (WITHOUT supers) is within 100 points..it is a TIE. I don't give a rats arse who won what state, its about the damn delegates. 100 points is 2 percent, and not enough for anyone to be on here making a fool of themselves going "WE WON WE WON"
Geez people...even WITH the supers it's within 100, HRC with 825 - BHO with 732. WITHOUT, which is where the meat of the race is, HRC 632 - BHO 626 at the last update on

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/scorecard/

That is less than a .14 percent difference! This will change a little after all the delegate counts are made official, but not by alot.

Do you know what that makes us as a party? In deep crap because McCain has the nom pretty much sewn up which means he can start prepping for the GE.

It's time to rally behind one or the other, present a unified front, and start focusing on how to beat McCain.

McCain is one of those candidates that is a reacher, which means he tries to cross lines for voters instead of relying on his base.

The longer this draws out, the worse it's going to be in the GE. Out of the next 5 states I sincerely hope that one or the other wins 4 to get this done and over with.

We can't afford to have a republican in the whitehouse right now.

I don't have a horse backed in this race right now, I'm still hoping that when I go to make my little vote I'll be able to (In good conscience) vote for the candidate I support. However, if I can't mark it in good conscience I will make my mark for who I think will do best by this country.

2. I think it's ok
it's healthy democracy - we Dems give a fair count to each candidate.


I think there is plenty of time, and our process works. The fact that there are so many Dems voting means we have 2 good candidates, and Dems and others are out in record numbers to support them!


I wouldn't worry too much about McCain, just yet.

10. I'm just so frustrated with all the bile being spewed is all.

Attacking people like I've seen in the posts over the last 12 hours is making me sick.

I want us to win the GE, yes...I'm reassured that more voters than ever are coming out of the woodwork...

I just don't want them to dissapear out of fatigue in the GE.

We as a nation have too much riding on this.

15. all the fighting will stop for the most part when we have a nominee
I'm afraid passion for the candidates brings out a lot of hmm, well, heavy-duty emotions... ;)


even as long as these campaigns have already been, people are still quite motivated.

8. Y'know, I think it really is a bit more civil than the last couple weeks.
I haven't seen nearly the level of vitriol as, say, yesterday.

5. Yep, it's true
I think there were those that had expectations that something would "tilt" one way or the other last night, those folks are dissapointed and are looking for a "remedy" to help them carry on.

All welcome.

Go into the light.

There is peace and serenity in the light.

9. Obama is going to win 6 of the next 7 states.....
....maybe all 7.

By the time the NEXT Super Tuesday comes (March 4), he'll have a 150-200 delegate lead.


Texas/Ohio will be Hillary's last stand. If she wins both, she might pull this out. If Barack wins one, it's over and Barack will be our nominee.

12. True!
Now that Edwards is really out of the race, i will support Hillary Clinton. A candidate that can win CA, NY, FL, and probably TX and OH has to be my pick. As i said before i don´t think that Obama as chance against MCcain, and if the Hucakbee is the nominee for the VP in the Republican party, they will win the South in landslide.

At this moment she is the best candidate for Democratic Party. No doubt!


From Europe with Love...

13. Umm, McCain can't win the general......it's will not happen
I don't know who else on here does, but I listen to RW Asswipes all the time. O'Bildo, Rush, The weasel Hannity, Mark Levin ( The Great @#^% )...
I also hear their callers, and McCain doesn't have a chance...

He's an old fucking geezer who is batshit crazy, has a wobble, and some fucked up problem with swinging his left arm down and to the left. I heard some idiot call into O'Bildo's show just now while getting lunch and he said the only way McCain would win is if Condisleeza ran as V.P. (Black & Woman) :rofl: :rofl:


Hillary or Obama will win easily, mark my word. The money, motivation, masses voting in Dem Primarys.....

So, the real fight is right now. We have to beat HILLARY INC. and her DLC and WalMart buddies


VOTE OBAMA

16. McCain is Currently Winning in Every Poll I Have Seen Lately, AND Intrade
The MSM LOVES McCain, and they will swift-boat our candidate so much that he/she will have to spend most of their time/money trying to respond to the smears.

Just like last time.

No Repiglickin is unelectable, with the Mighty Slime Machine behind them.

17. Just like Hillary was way up in every poll until the race actually started
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 02:24 PM by HughMoran
You don't actually take those polls seriously do you?

18. Yes. Hillary Was Up Until the MSM Started Pushing Obama to be our Nominee
And now that they are pushing McCain to be the Repig nominee and to win in November, he is rising fast.
