1. You're interested in absolutely nothing but one-line flamebait spamming.

How does it feel
to be the least respected person at DU? I assume you saw the entire thread of people sick of your efforts to drag down this forum. Do you really think you're doing any good? Actually, I suspect doing anything good was never your goal to begin with.

20. Oh you're playing ignorant to pretend innocence.
Nice way of avoiding the issue. You know full well what I'm talking about. That's the tactic I usually see from the disingenuous hate radio zombies. How interesting that you're adopting their tactics.

9. Obama leads in pledged delegates.
Hillary has more superdelegates.

The PEOPLE have spoken, but the politicians are ignoring them.

15. The Delegates are pretty much even

10. Where is she surging in the polls?
It does make sense, though, because so many of the Obamaniacs are hyper today.

--p!

12. because we in the Democratic Party have a Napolean.......
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 05:12 PM by PaDem
Complex. We love to lose.

Just the same, she has no "momentum". Anyone who thinks that last night was anything worse than a draw for Obama is being dishonest with themselves. Why all the posturing? Are you that worried about your candidate?

No, I really don't think so. Or do you just not know what "incumbent" means?

21. hey i love hillary but...
where is the surge? I think at the most she slowed the Obama machine way down and she is holding steady or maybe going up a tad bit. But all in all, I think there are holding steady. What did happen after last night is she is gonna have huge donations for several days to come!

29. I thought you had a meaningful poll...
These numbers don't mean a thing!

In almost every state-race that is discussed, Hillary supporters point out national polls, which
have no bearing on the individual state races.

Those national polls, which showed Hillary with a 20 point national lead--were meaningless when Obama
won Iowa, when he came within a few points in NH and NV and when he trounced in South Carolina.

He just won 13 states, with the Super Tuesday practically ending up a draw and you're still touting those national polls?

Those national polls were still 15 points Hillary---when Obama secured his SC blowout.

Show me what you've got on Louisiana, Nebraska, Washington and Maine.

I've been looking all day, and unable to find anything.

28. Maybe Obama is getting too much press.......
it's a fine line to walk. We've seen the press overplay things to the point we hate to hear the name of the person we were at one time sympathetic to.

32. I predict a backlash against all of the hype and hoopla soon anyway.
Honestly, that type of bandwagon support turns a lot of people off, and it makes them suspicious when the media pushes it so hard.

I just hope we see the backlash before the nominee is named, not after.

30. Because the corporate media can't wait to beat us.
They see the polls, and realize that Hillary, with an unfavorability rating of 45%-50%, will be much easier to beat than Obama, with an unfavorability rating of 26% - 30%. They all know McCain will beat her.
