Why are Obama supporters down? He WON if her victory is ONLY the 4 or 5 % projected

[NJmaverick]

Have you bought into the warped clinton spin?????   Come on
people, Hillary couldn't pull off a double digit win in her
home state.  This is it for her campaign.  Time to sit back
and savor the victory.  We knew this wouldn't be an outright
win, the odds were stacked too much in her favor.  Obama
warned us this is how it would go down.  Doesn't make the
victory any less sweet though.


OBAMA HAS ENDED IT TONIGHT!   HILLARY IS DEAD IN THE WATER!

GO OBAMA!

:toast: 

:woohoo: 

[tekisui]

1. Not down here.

Hillary is broke, and the Supers are moving.

[flpoljunkie]

2. Who's down? I am pumped!

[Yossariant]

3. Yeah -- SUPER pewrformance -- outspending her 4 to 1 and losing.

:think:

[NJmaverick]

5. You are as honest as your candidate it was 2.3 to 1

[Occam Bandage]

6. Fantastic performance--taking a 20-point lead in a state governed by her biggest backer

and turning it into a near-draw.

[Joe the Revelator]

Don't be an idiot..money only does so much, he took her lead from 20+ to single digits

Thats a win.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

11. Psst, it's not winner take all.

Clinton supporters and her team, apparently, keep forgetting that.

[cliffordu]

17. He was down 20 three weeks ago, slowpoke.....

[rocktivity]

29. It's easy to outspend someone who has NOTHING to spend.

Obama's spending was all about preventing Hillary from getting 65% of the vote, a MINIMUM of which she'll need in ALL the remaining contests in order to have a legitimate case to plead to the delegates. Mission accomplished!

:headbang:

[MattBaggins]

51. Sorry for Clintons problems

but how is it Obamas fault if her donors and followers are not supporting her financially anymore?

[Growler]

63. Exactly!

nt

[Growler]

61. It was his money to spend

When you have the 10s of millions that Obama has, it makes sense to spend a lot. What don't you understand about this.

The sad delusion of Hillary supporters is beyond embarassing. We continue to look foolish on an international stage.

I'll be glad when Hillary drops out so we can get some maturity back into this contest.

[knixphan]

4. exactly.

[bagimin]

7. Didn't she need to win this and ALL remaining by 28%?

[rocktivity]

35. Yep. By not getting 65% of the vote, she'll have to get AT LEAST that much

in ALL the remaining contests if she wants to shrink the delegate lead enough to have a legitimate case to plead with the superdelegates.

:headbang:

[HughMoran]

8. I wish he had won

I'm tired of this primary.

Her winning is being treated on all the networks for what it is - a win :(

[NJmaverick]

21. Sometimes a win is a loss, like in this case

The networks tend not to like to deal in that sort of complex idea. They prefer simple, if misleading, ideas.

[HughMoran]

36. I wish

I had thought that if he could hold her to single digits, it would be a win for him. Now I am not so sure since Hillary won't see it that way and she is the only person who can choose to call it quits.

[NJmaverick]

40. I am sure the Clintons will desperately try to convince the SDs

that this defeat was some sort of great victory, but the SDs are not that stupid or gullible.

[oviedodem]

9. I am not concerned at all.

[aquart]

10. Except for the part where he lost.

After spending all that money, too.

[Zhade]

31. And yet, he's still trouncing her overall.

Enjoy your win, it's few and far between.

[NJmaverick]

44. It's also the last one, because the game is over

[Growler]

why are you so fixated on Obama's money?

Is it because your candidate doesn't have any more to spend?

Baffling....

[4_Legs_Good]

12. As long as he can keep it under 10% tonight, I consider it a good night

I'll grant her the "win", but nothing really meaningful.

Keep it under 10 Barack!

David

[blonndee]

13. I'm not down. A clinton win was expected.

We'll see the margins. Regardless, he will be the nominee. She has lost, and she lost a long time ago, no matter what delusions suggest.

[rocktivity]

14. Who's down? Obama is hitting his "magic number" (45 per cent)

Hillary isn't (65 per cent)!

36+ points margin of victory = blowout for Hillary

35 points = victory for Hillary

10 - 34 points = wash for Hillary

6 - 9 points = humiliation for Hillary

1 - 5 points = the end for Hillary

:headbang:
rocknation

[NJmaverick]

23. Exactly!

[H2O Man]

15. Right.

This is a good night for Obama supporters.

[DerekJ]

16. I'm not. I am just afraid the margin will widen.

[NJmaverick]

25. The one exit poll I saw (posted here) projected 4%

[aquart]

45. They declared a victory on 4% margin?

Guess Obama couldn't gain traction anywhere.

[olkaz]

28. As am I.

I think Pennsylvania really let us down.

It's okay. Obama's administration will do some great things for Pennsylvania. They'll learn.

[Window]

18. I am not down at all. I'm happy with the results so far.

:hi:

[C_U_L8R]

19. Who's down... Obama broke the Clinton bank !

A masterful strategy. Wham !!!

[gravity]

20. I am satisfied with it

especially with Obama being down 20 pts 6 weeks ago.

I hope Clinton or at least the SD's will be convinced that the race is over.

[cottonseed]

22. Too many Hillary spinsteers on the TeeVee

When we get Obama's people out there with their take (reality) and we'll all breath a sigh of relief tonight.

[NJmaverick]

30. The media people are stupid- They were tricked by the village idiot about Iraq

Do you think they would be smart enough to see throught Clinton's better crafted lies and deceptions???? Besides that, the concept of ultimate defeat in the face of a seeming victory is far too complex for them to comprehend.

[Flabbergasted]

24. I'm very pleased. nt

[Zhade]

26. Yep. She's toast.

The only downer is that an actual loss might have shocked her into realizing she's finished and accepting her loss.

As it is, now she (and her more delusional supporters) will continue to lie to themselves that she still has a chance.

32. Exit poll calculation on operation chaos voter percentages:

According to CNN exit polls, 5% of democratic voters today will NOT support the candidate they voted for in the Fall.

Hillary wins among these cross-over spoilers 2 to 1.

Also, RON PAUL is winning Armstrong County!!

[crispini]

33. I'm not down, really, but you know she's not going to bag it anytime soon.

And I think we're ready to get this done with.

[NJmaverick]

38. I think the SDs have seen enough

I figure many of them were going to give her a chance to pull off a miracle in PA, and it didn't happen. Remember most SDs care about the Democratic party and are not as inclined as the Clintons to see it destroyed.

[ScarletSniper]

34. Not down here..

[Lisa0825]

37. I am pumped up!

I just got home. I had a friend sending me txt updates because I couldn't access any other info. I am HAPPY with a narrow margin. It's a LOSS for Clinton because he cut a HUGE chunk out of her long-standing PA lead. She will barely get any net delegates out of this, and he's still in a great position to carry on, whereas she's in deep financial trouble, and losing support by the day.

[myrna minx]

39. I'm not down. I knew she would win PA, her home state.

I think he made a valiant effort in PA, and will go onto victory. :toast:

[NJmaverick]

42. He did more than that, he sealed the deal

No way Hillary can come even close.

[RiverStone]

41. I don't know either!

I agree and may I promote a similar sentiment here:

:hi:

Great job tonight Obama!!!!

[roamer65]

43. This was her last chance to win a convincing victory.

She didn't and won't be the nominee of the party.

[Raine]

I'm not down

I think he's doing great, she needs double digits and she's not getting them. :bounce:

[cooolandrew]

46. Yep that is true have to shake off the Penn and to the end.

[cooolandrew]

47. Yep that is true have to shake off the Penn and to the end. FIRED UP AND MARCH....

All the delegates and all the popular vote that's what countss. SIng it to the roof tops that we are in te lead and Obama as aDemocrat will win the blue states in the GE as all Democrats do. Onwards upwards. The clue is in the name blue states they know what makes sense.

[kenny blankenship]

48. Not down, just waiting

My wag was 10% loss for Obama.

[DerekJ]

49. Which website should I believe:

http://www.electionreturns.state.pa.us/
or

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/state/#PA

[Yes We Did]

50. Just like McY D-s... I'm Lovin' It!

GoBama!
GoHomeMama!

[Fovea]

52. under 10 point spread

after having a 20 point spread a month or so ago is a loss in a losing trend.

I think it is going to roll downhill from here for the Clinton campaign.
Over by June.

[NJmaverick]

56. Forget June, it's over tonight

this was her chance to hold on to her 20+% lead in her adopted home state and she blew it big time.

[Firespirit]

53. Not down at all. I find the Hillaryite tornadic spin funny

It looks very much like it'll be 6-8 points, and no matter how much they try to pretend that such a margin is a big win for her, IT AIN'T. It's bad news for her because there are no more tailor made states for her. Just watch the analysis tomorrow: It's going to be that she didn't get the job done. Obama will win IN and put her on life support, and this will end with NC.

[azmouse]

54. I'm satisfied with the numbers.

Obama closed the gap. He'll be just fine.

[FlyingSquirrel]

55. I'm not down at all

Still waiting for more results. Hoping to see it narrow to 3-5%

[GetTheRightVote]

57. I could not agree more with this posting, Obama will be our President

come next November, hurray !!!!

[Onlooker]

58. He leads in philly by 58-42%

I think he needs to win it by more than that, but we can hope.

[RiverStone]

67. Make that 64 - 36%

[shadowknows69]

59. Not down at all

It's looking like it's going to be less than 10%, that's a win IMO.

[book_worm]

60. I'm not down, he came back strongly

[wisteria]

62. I wanted to see him win and put an end to her vanity tonight.

She is bringing down the party. And, this just proves that PA is a real entrenched Party town.

[ecstatic]

64. I don't know. I saw this coming but I'm still extremely angry for some reason

I thought I had braced myself better. But this is personal to me. I HATE HER VALUES :mad:

[Eurobabe]

65. What's to be down about Chester Co. is NOT in the tally yet

Watch her margins tank when those results come in.

Sex me.

[Eurobabe]

66. What's to be down about Chester Co. is NOT in the tally yet

Watch her margins tank when those results come in.

Sez me.

[RiverStone]

69. What happened, did someone lose their laptop?

Why are they still stuck at ZERO?

[Eurobabe]

70. Dunno. But she won't win by much in that county

And the rest of the Philly suburbs are ONLY 15-30% REPORTING.

HillBots better not start pounding the shots just yet...

[grantcart]

68. just quiet, sometimes the most important thing is to be patient
