The best reading ever on DU will be the day after the Dem nominee is decided.

[trumad]

I'm already stocking up on popcorn and diet pop.

It should be a doozy.

[terrya]

1. I'd like to think we'll quickly coalesce around the nominee.

So we can defeat the 170 year old right wing Bush ass kissing angry insane jerk the Republicans have.

But that's probably wishful thinking.

[Exilednight]

2. There will be bitter Hillary supporters. That's life in politics.

[MonkeyFunk]

8. Or even more bitter Obama supporters

:P

[Exilednight]

11. How can a winner be bitter about winning? This primary is over. I'm just...............

waiting for Hillary to take her campaign off life support and pull the plug.

[MonkeyFunk]

13. two points

it's not over yet.

And I've never seen more bitter winners than obama supporters. Check the archives for any night in which he won a primary.

[Exilednight]

14. It's over. When you are so far behind that you have no way of winning, then it's over. n/t

[MonkeyFunk]

15. I would agree with that

but that's not the case.

The winner will almost certainly be decided by superdelegates. We'll have to wait and see what happens.

[Exilednight]

18. Super D's will not go against the leader in popular vote and pledged delegates.......

it's over. Hillary has no chance of winning.

[MonkeyFunk]

19. Then you guys should relax a bit

unclench.

[Exilednight]

21. Winning the Primary is only half the equation, this election goes on until November. No time.......

to relax or take a break. We need to get SHill out of the race so we can focus on McCain.

[MonkeyFunk]

22. And my side says the same thing about Obama

funny, huh?

[Exilednight]

24. But your side has no chance of winning. n/t

[MonkeyFunk]

30. If you believe that

then relax.

But here's a hint: Obama doesn't have 2025 delegates.

[Exilednight]

35. Like I said, no time to relax. We have an election to win and a convention to get through and a ...

DLC to throw out of the Democratic party. We have bigger fish to fry but the minnow called Hillary refuses to jump out of the pan.

[PoliticalAmazon]

61. Agreed. If hillary's gone, I have pages of info on McCain I'm moving on to. n/t

[Cassandra]

23. Actually, Hillary needs to unclench...

although if she did, would she still exist?

[mrreowwr_kittty]

25. Whereas HRC supporters were the height of graciousness when she's won.

:eyes:

[Exilednight]

26. You forgot the sarcasm tag. n/t

[MonkeyFunk]

31. I don't see any Clinton supporters

here calling, day in and day out, for Obama's utter destruction. Yet every day somebody posts how Clinton must be kicked out of the party, removed from the Senate, lose her wealth and reputation. A lot of you guys want her absolutely destroyed.

We'd be content just winning the nomination.

[Exilednight]

39. Must be selective processing, I see it on both sides. Hillary supporters are just as guilty as.....

Obama supporters.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

41. Ya ever think there may be a reason?

Count me among those who would like to see the party purged of the Clintons and their lackeys, after their behavior this election cycle.

Of course you'd be content just winning the nomination. You know you'll need Obama's massive army of enthusiastic supporters to even have a chance against McCain. Those young people Clinton supporters scorn have always been the life's blood of a volunteer base.

[MonkeyFunk]

44. Yes, I think there's a reason

but you won't like it. I think many of Obama's supporters are naive and ignorant.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

45. Sure, that's why more college grads support him

Whereas your candidate gets the dumb, bigoted voters. Like the ones who disapprove of interracial relationships.

[mckeown1128]

46. uh uh... no you didn't...lol

:popcorn:

[mrreowwr_kittty]

49. Exit polling showed that people who disapprove of interracial relationships preferred Clinton. nt

[mckeown1128]

50. Keep going... this is getting good...lol

:popcorn: lol

[MonkeyFunk]

53. and often

younger and newer to politics.

People who think this is a notably dirty primary race ARE ignorant of history and politics. That's the truth.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

54. People who think Senator Clinton is "fully vetted" are ignorant of history and politics as well

And that's the truth.

But hey, just hope that enough bigoted morans turn out for your Queen tomorrow so that that you can tell yourself she lives to fight another day. :rofl:

[MonkeyFunk]

55. LOL

so anybody who doesn't support Obama is a bigot?

How lame.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

56. Never said everyone was

But a lot of them are.

And you know it.

[Voltaire]

48. And Hillary's supporters are the wise ones....

Snarf. Thanks for calling me young and naive though, at 49 and politically savvy I appreciate the compliment.

[MonkeyFunk]

59. I said many

not all.

[PseudoIntellect]

42. There are more potential McCain Hillary voters than McCain Obama voters.

[trumad]

3. Oh I think we will

but couple of days after will interesting to see how we get there.

[Arkansas Granny]

4. I may go into a self imposed exile during the week that Skinner has

designated as a cooling off period and come back when things return to normal (or whatever passes for normal around here). I'm afraid that week has the potential for even more nastiness than we have seen so far and I just don't want to get involved in it. I hope I'm wrong about that and I know that there will be some who will try to reach out so we can all start working together, but I've already seen many posters who are looking forward to the prospect of gloating over the losing candidates supporters and "rubbing their noses in it". Of course, many of the trolls on both sides will probably disappear, so maybe it won't be as bad as I fear.

Of course, I have my favorite, but I'm prepared to support the eventual nominee regardless who is chosen.

[trumad]

5. me tooooo

but I wonder if it's possible to see smoke come out of the internets?

[rug]

6. Four months isn't that far away.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

7. I predict the first week following the decision will be rather interesting.

However, I agree that day one will be the most intense of that week.

Let's hope that November 4th is the best reading ever though. ;)

[cboy4]

9. Yea. Some of Obama's "blind allegiance" supporters are

already a "10" on the obnoxious scale.

If it turns out to be him, it'll be interesting to see how they'll try to "out-obnoxious" themselves -- if that's earthly possible.

And then they'll start playing the victim and screaming bloody murder when Hillary Clinton supporters aren't interested .. at least immediately .. in pledging their support.

[Tatiana]

10. As an Obama supporter, I look forward to working with the Hillary supporters to defeat McCain.

There are many Obama supporters who would like for their friendships (and families, LOL) to go back to normal and miss working together on the important issues.

[Vinca]

12. I can't wait until we get to the McCain bashathon. nt

[davidpdx]

16. Maybe we should have some contests set up for when that happens

Like find the worst John McCain look alike picture? Worst John McCain quote? Something along that line.

[Vinca]

17. We need a pool to guess when he goe's snakeshit on camera

and loses it on some unsuspecting reporter or town hall questioner. Extra points if we catch him using the "c" word.:rofl:

[QC]

20. Will the freepers pretending to be Obama supporters unmask themselves,

as seventhson did after the last election, or will they continue to work their magic on DU through the rest of the campaign?

[kid a]

27. On the B-side...If Hillary is handed the Nom by the SDs, I won't be here. I'm stocking up on this:

and

[psychmommy]

37. i'm coming to your house.

i'll go halfsies.

[Straight Shooter]

28. It will be predictable. Just like it is almost any given day on DU. n/t

[LTR]

29. I'll wipe out my ignore list just to watch

:popcorn:

[XemaSab]

34. I'm suspecting my list will be wiped out for me

:popcorn:

[AZBlue]

43. Me too.

[Bensthename]

32. It will be an emotional mess..

Hoorays, excuses, madness, bonding, whining, excitement, etc.. Hopefully the following week we will all be on the same page.

[LWolf]

33. Unless there is a brokered convention

with a better nominee resulting, I don't expect to have anything to say about the nominee at that point.

I sure won't be hanging out to read anything about either one of them.

[H2O Man]

36. Do you still insist

that Bernard Hopkins will be the winner on the 8th ballot?

[trumad]

40. You know me---

My sports predictions are the bomb. ;-)

[merh]

38. Should we post a pool

How many tombstones will happen on that day?

From my read of Skinners thread about behavior in this forum, once a nominee has been decided the attacks on that nominee will not be allowed.

I hope that is the case.

[Seabiscuit]

47. I would like for everyone to just get over the primary and come together for the GE.

Regardless of who the nominee is, we are our only hope to take back this nation from the idiots in the White House and their corporate friends. I know they'll be bitching and whining the first week following the nomination, but either we put up (as democrats) or shut up. :kick:

[Sparkly]

51. I hope the people who are elated will be gracious toward those who aren't.

If unity is indeed the goal, gloating, insulting, demeaning, and attacking do NOT help. Just sayin'.

[NC_Nurse]

52. Can't wait. Either way it should be entertaining. If my guy doesn't win by

some bizarre chance, maybe I'll unleash my inner Starbuck and burn some bridges. :P
I doubt it though, I'm usually reflexively civil, DARN!

I know I won't give a flying fuck about the election anymore. But NOT TO WORRY, I'll
vote for Clinton over McLame. :hi:

[Leopolds Ghost]

57. There Will Be Blood

If you have a candidate, and I have a candidate...
my candidate reaches ACROSS the room and starts
to eat up your delegates.

I TAKE YOUR DELEGATES!!!! I TAKE EM ALL! HA HA HA

Sorry. I can't continue like this, with these... people :evilgrin:

[XemaSab]

58. NOM NOM NOM

n/t

[ecstatic]

60. A lot of bitter goodbyes I'm sure

Hell, I might be one of the authors if HRC is installed.

[AlCzervik]

62. diet pepsi is your euphemism for vodka isn't it?

:D
