Obama folks: Whenever you start feeling down, just remember that Missouri is never wrong!

[BluegrassDem]

You gotta hang your hat on that anytime you question things. It's the omen of all omens. The nomination always goes to the Missouri winner!

:toast:

1. I don't feel down at all.

I'm more confident today about Obama's chances than I was a week ago.

:)

[Whisp]

7. best I felt since the 2000 catastrophe.

and come what may,
with all the dirty tricks and sleazyness in store by the establishment of B/C/B/C... against Hope...

I will enjoy these moments.
I will hope.
It may disappear tomorrow, or whenever Diebold or superdelegates or FL or Mi cheating decides,

but I'll take what I can get for now.
hope.
Not a lot of it out there.

2. really?

11. No. Gephardt won in '88. Dukakis had the nomination.

3. MO is one of the biggest stories of the campaign.

It borders both Illinois and Arkansas. Its part Southern and part Midwestern. It is a good bellwether state. I was very excited to see Obama win there.

[jlake]

4. That is so far from the truth it's not funny.

I don't remember Gephardt being the nominee in 1988.

:shrug: :shrug: :shrug:

[BluegrassDem]

5. Oh no, I'm not down at all, but this is for when the Clinton folks start getting on your nerves

You know, when you come on DU and the Clintonistas get some bit of info and start to run with it and they make you sick to your stomach. Just remember, we have something that they don't...history! We got Missouri!

[jlake]

6. But you're wrong.

[Yossariant]

8. And President Gephardt thanks you for your support.

:rofl:

[emilyg]

9. Always a first time for everything.

[jlake]

10. It won't be the first time though. 1988 Gephardt won MO.

[BluegrassDem]

13. Stephanopolous on ABC said Missouri's only gotten it wrong 1 time in the past 100 years

for the Dem nomination. I guess he was talking about Gephardt. But Gep was a homeboy. Outside of a favorite son, Missouri has picked the winner in the past 100 years for the nomination. That's impressive.

[Yossariant]

14. Pssst! He was talking about the general election.

Voters in this state have chosen the person who later became president in every general election but one since 1904.

21. Well, someone should tell Tweety and his crew that

because they were yapping about that (and how interesting Missouri would be as a bellweather) as they waited for the results of Missouri to come in..........

[Yossariant]

25. NO state has a 100 year history of primary elections or caucuses.

Tell Tweety yourself. I'm not parroting the idiocy.

12. That is true in the General election moreso than nominations

It is fairly representative of the country in both, though. OF course the favorite son in 1988 throws it off a little, and the fact that in the nomination process it is usually decided by the time it gets to Missouri.

The main caution is the Obama victory this year was about 1%. I suspect the truest prediction from Missouri is that we are going to see this go to the wire.

[AtomicKitten]

15. I'm a genuinely happy camper right now.

Barack is bringing it, and I couldn't be more amazed and thrilled.

[sunonmars]

16. that omen had Hillary win 110 of the 115 of the counties and equal delegates

Amazing that she wins 110 counties out of 115 and loses the state. Ridiculous.

She won equal delegates too, thats a incredible feat.

[Gore1FL]

18. Population density of StL and KC

The same counties put Claire McCaskil in office too.

[bridgit]

17. Cool! Now we can let Missouri decide the fate of the world!!

And here everyone thought it was NH, er' Ohio er'wherever else...let's get this down to things that really matter = flip one switch & all be fine :bounce:

[donheld]

19. right about McCain or right about Obama?

[my3boyz]

20. The media said they picked the winner every time but ONCE

The above poster said Gephardt won Missouri but Dukakis won the nomination. Well, I'm pretty sure Gephardt is from Missouri so that probably explains that.

[MoJoWorkin]

22. Living in the bastion of conservative SW MO, I am proud to have voted for Obama

and to have helped him win MO.

[Dogmudgeon]

23. Yeah! It gave us Rush Limbaugh! (Cape Girardeau, MO)

--p!

[michaz]

24. I don't feel down. Just soooo sick of the garbage that is being posted

on both sides. It is really getting to the point where you can't find many links with "good and informative" info anymore. Actually, it is pretty sad.
