******OFFICIAL CLINTON SUPPORTERS PA PRIMARY THREAD******

[Lyric]

Hey folks! I didn't see one of these around already, so forgive me if there's another one out there somewhere. :)

Come hang out, and we'll cheer for our brilliant lady together!



:hi: :party: :dem: :woohoo: :bounce:

[XanaDUer]

1. How is she doing?

I just got home.

[Lyric]

4. Not much info yet, but here's some of the earlier exit poll data

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080422/ap_on_el_pr/primary_exit_poll_glance_4

More demographics than numbers, unfortunately. Still, the evening is young! :hi:

[XanaDUer]

5. Thank you.

Nt.

[TexasLady]

2. Not a supporter, but a strong Dem voter if she is nominated.

:hi:

[XanaDUer]

3. Thank you, Texas Lady.

nt.

[Lyric]

6. Thank you very much Texas Lady!

I'm soooo looking forward to creaming Gramps this Fall. :hi: :dem:

[trueblue2007]

11. Good to see a nice person chiming in

[Clintonista2]

7. Checking in!

[Lyric]

8. Hey Lirwin!

Thanks for the kick!

Here's hoping for an enormous win tonight. :hi: :dem: :bounce:

[Auntie Bush]

9. Ahhhh! What a lady we have!

I'm cheering for Hillary already just on the exit polls. PA's sure are Savoy people!

[Lyric]

12. Indeed. I live less than ten minutes from the PA border

and I have a LOT of Pennsylvanian friends. The vast majority of them are strongly pro-Clinton, too. My state (West Virginia) is also very much pro-Clinton. I feel blessed to live in a part of the country where the Real Life vitriol is pretty much nil, because most folks around here already support her, and those who don't aren't rude or confrontational about it. :)

[Auntie Bush]

19. I assume they don't visit DU. Thank God!

Good to hear there are so many Hillary supporters out in the real world.
I'm surrounded by Obama supporters here in VT. DU is the armpit of Obama supporters...and it stinks here..."Big time"! Dammit, DU was my favorite place to hang out until so many here started bad mouthing the Clintons. We need more people like you! I wonder what's going to happen after the primary?

[Lyric]

26. Oh yes, the Real World is nothing like DU, lol.

I can only speak for my own area, but things are peaceful here, thank goodness. The only time I ever see arguing and name-calling between Dems is here on DU. I'm really glad for that, too, and grateful that the folks around here are pretty congenial about such things. :)

[TK421]

10. Bucks County reporting!

I mean...present! :bounce:

[Lyric]

13. Did you already vote today? How was the mood at the polls?

:hi: :dem:

[TK421]

16. Yup! The mood was fine....there was a good sized line there

it took me about 15 minutes tops, and plenty of Hillary supporters :D

[Auntie Bush]

41. Waaaaaattt? You can't make up your mind yet?

Afraid someone might not like you or agree with you?
Don't be so wimpy! Admit you are really here!

[TK421]

50. ......

What's this button do? :D

[Auntie Bush]

57. I don't know... i don't use such ridiculous gadgets. I'm an adult.

I guess you got out of the kitchen. I'm still cooking...working on a yummy chocolate cake with a great big "H" on top.

[TK421]

71. Does it have ( gasp! ) chocolate sprinkles?

:9

[NashVegas]

14. What a Wonderful Photo

It says so much about her.









Of course the cynic in me says something else entirely, but ....

[Lyric]

17. Yes, I love that one too.

I have a little guy who's going to be eight in a month, and he's already a little political activist. I wish we could have gone to see Bill and Hillary at one of their events in West Virginia, but unfortunately my college semester is winding down, and finals week is creeping up fast--gotta devote all of my free time to schoolwork and studying. In fact, I'm studying in another window right now! lol

[Mags]

15. Tennessee reporting, GO HILLARY!!!!!!!

[susankh4]

18. Watching in from neighboring.....

Ohio!

Go Hillary!!

:toast:

[Lyric]

23. Hey there neighbor!

West Virginia here! :hi: :dem:

[Fredda Weinberg]

20. It will be an interesting evening n/t

[GCP]

21. She's proven herself a real fighter

I'm really impressed with her despite all the hatred on here and on MSNBC. :toast:

[DerekJ]

22. Obama supporter here:

Just saying hello, and wishing you good luck tonight. :hi:

[Lyric]

25. Thank you very much--same to you :)

:hi: :dem:

[Auntie Bush]

45. Good luck to you too!

:hi:

[Taxmyth]

24. Orange County, NY here

about 15 miles from the PA border and putting a couple of Sammy's on ice for after 8:00.

[Bigleaf]

29. Home of the Teutuls (Orange County Choppers). What do the locals think of these guys?

[rug]

58. Hi, neighbor! Pike County, PA here.

[XanaDUer]

27. K'd & R'd

NT.

[Lyric]

28. kick for the lady

:hi: :applause: :kick:

[rodeodance]

32. i raise a glass to hillary

[cboy4]

30. The Obama people are using special keyboards today

[kwenu]

31. Why do some Hillary supporters insist on doing themselves in? A Hillary win in PA means very little.

By any honest account.

[jackson_dem]

33. It depends on the margin by a truly honest account

;)

[cboy4]

37. Well then why are so many Obama supporters acting so

fricken obnoxious if they don't think this is headed toward a devastating choke?

Not a single person can answer my question, kwenu.

[rodeodance]

34. REC FOR THE LADY~~ YES SHE WILL ~~ YES WE WILL~~

[jackson_dem]

35. Folks, chill out about the exit polls

They predicted an Obama landslide on Super Tuesday with him taking even Massachusetts. Here is more context, the exits for 3/4:

Vermont: Obama 67, Clinton 33
Ohio: Obama 51, Clinton 49
Texas: Obama 51, Clinton 49
Rhode Island: Clinton 49, Obama 49

http://www.mydd.com/story/2008/3/4/18735/88678

She did 12 points better than the exits showed in Ohio, 6 points better in Ohio, 18 points in Rhode Island, and 14 points better in Vermont. If this happens again she is heading for a double digit win...

[Lyric]

36. Not the least bit worried about it here.

She's gonna clean up. I have no doubt at all.
:hi: :hug: :applause:

[grizmaster]

38. Looks like another win shaping up in another big state for Hillary

Damn I love that woman's tenacity.

[Texas Hill Country]

47. me too!

[Orsino]

39. Go, go, go!

I'd just like to wish y'all well. Git out 'n' vote!

[Maribelle]

40. Here to cheer Hillary's victory.

:toast:

[Austinitis]

42. Follow the popular vote live!

The spreadsheet here:

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/horseraceblog/chooseyourown.html

will let you adjust Hillary's vote percent (combined with turnout) to get a sense of where she is in the popular vote. There's a chance she'll take the popular vote lead tonight.

[shadowknows69]

43. Party crasher!!!!!

GoBama!!!

[Lyric]

44. Thanks for the kick!

:hi:

[Maribelle]

46. Bama did go. Got out of dodge as fast as he could.

This is a huge psychological loss for Obama. He just can't win in the big states.

[shadowknows69]

48. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Check back with me in November on that one.

[Maribelle]

49. Full CNN exit polls are here ...

Only Clinton (21%) 99% ------------ 1 %

Only Obama (31%) -- 4% ------------ 96%

Both (33%) ------- 62% ------------ 38%

Neither (10%) --77% ------------- 22%
