15. I understand
Do it here:

There's no need to rub it in the Hillary supporters faces on here. Some of them are truly nice and respectful people and threads like this reflect poorly on all Obama supporters.

22. And some of them are fucking ASSHOLES who need this rubbed in their face.
But that's just my view.

24. I assume those are trolls
Just like the asshole Obama supporters, I assume those are trolls too.

But there are really nice respectful Hillary supporters and I prefer to not alienate them.

35. Agree with that, i respect many Hillary supporters, and trolls are faking it on both sides here.
Trying to split us up -we should not let them, much less encourage it.

41. the CHANGE Obama promises - does not include attacking one another
his goal is to facilitate positive change that we can all work together on.

No paybacks and "got-cha's".

Victory speaks for itself, its never good form to taunt.

Pride goeth before a great fall,and no I don't know who said that.



I am... an Obama supporter.

48. There is a serious side to it and that is this: negative attacks give landslides
to your opponent. this should have been a close state. Hillary's negative attacks had the same effect as it did in South Carolina.

38. no way would Obama be so ungracious
Obama is not a taunter. It is his respectfulness to ALL Americans that I find
so appealing, that I look up to so much.

This man is a statesman, young admittedly, but he has learned well that when you
are ahead, you never attack or berate or degrade your opponent.

A winner can afford to extend some grace - and should.

Regardless of how he was treated.

9. Are you serious?
He was polling behind her this week. He wasn't polling anywhere near 17%. He won late deciders big. This is a great night for Barack.

16. Yeah, he went from down 7% in Dec. to up 17% tonight. Whew....
If those negative attack ads had worked any better, he might have won by 25%!

18. I thought it was quite classy.
A lot classier than her and her drivel have been lately.

Why The Obama fans can't gloat when we win, I don't fathom.

The OP does their candidate no favors with that.

42. Not really
I've never been a gloater.

and you'll not find one "in your face" style post from me.

I tend to attack when a candidate is "up" not "down"

46. not much moral difference.
If they are celebrating his victory and not saying negatives about her, then they are hardly gloating. Its been a nasty primary cycle and this board went to war. There is going to be a losing side.

47. mk
you've been around here for awhile. I don't count you in with the locusts this primary season.

There is a HUGE difference between making attacks on a candidate who is doing well --and deliberate in your face antics which are meant not to attack a candidate, but to rub salt into the supporters of a candidate who is down.

54. well maddie, I just think they are entitled to a little celebration
I really cant imagine for a second that it would have been any different if things where reversed.

You know as well as i do that this has been a vicious primary cycle. Obama started from behind and didn't really seem like he could win. To me, he just seemed to much like a regular person to win so seeing him break the even point with Hillary is kind of exciting.

Taunting is so shortsighted.

And no, I didn't like the negative campaigning of Clinton's camp.
