Remember Obama people, Karma can hurt.
I know we all talk smack and screw with one another after a great night for the guy or gal your supporting. But sometimes people go overboard. People who are calling for Hillary to step aside, Are you crazy? I mean most people knew over 2 weeks ago that she was gonna have a rough patch this month. What if after super Tuesday instead of the states that just voted it was PENN, and Ohio? Which I think most of yall that will think logically will admit Clinton is up by 20% or maybe more. What if those 2 states voted this week instead of the states tonight and a few days ago? Hillary would be up by probably 100 or maybe 150 delegates possibly more; Would it have been time for Obama to "step aside"? It is all about timing and surviving the ups and the downs. It is a very, very long process. The tide turns alot. There are Eb's and flows. If there is one thing that we all can agree on it is that the Clinton's are survivors. The Clinton years I think for the majority here were some of the best years this country has seen in a long, long time. He was a great President. But Oh how our memory fails us. Did he make some poor choice of vocabulary? You bet he did. I also know that he balanced our budget, created millions of jobs, and truly cared about our country and it's people like no other. I know he "lied". They all lie. They are politicians. All politicians Lie. So much goes on behind closed doors that we don't know about. That wont change no matter who gets in this time. It is the way it is. If you think otherwise you are being foolish or you are so young that you haven't found your way yet. I just can't get over the memory of many. I am proud of our Democratic 2 that are left standing because I know that they are head and shoulders better than anything the Refugs can offer. But just know this, yeah for the next few weeks Obama will be the darling of the MSM and hell get all the headlines. It is gonna be Rosy. But then they go to Ohio, Texas and a month later PENN. It will be a different animal. I am here in Houston. It is a different game. There will be no big Obama base in either of those 2 states. And if he makes ground and pulls out a "miracle" in Texas or Ohio I will tip my hat. I just think many of yall will be feeling the kiss of Karma.

p.s. Some of us at times are a little mean and hateful. (me included and I am sorry for that) But we should be Democrats first and foremost. This ain't a football game, it's our future.

later

4. Maybe if we were ever allowed to have a win.
Up until tonight, nothing Obama has won seems to count. Well - you know what, these wins do count. They're significant windows in to the future. When you see Obama beating out republican votes in red states... It's significant enough to notice. It's significant enough to call a win. And when he's doing it by incredible margins over Clinton. It's significant, it's a win.

13. how many of these primaries are open versus closed? We also
have a situation whereby the Rethug nomination is closed up so more will be hopping over and doing what they can to disrupt the Dems process.
