Wow. It literally took every last primary election in order to officially select our nominee.

[Writer]

Now that's a PROCESS! Kudos to seeing it through! :applause:

[NightWatcher]

1. just like sausage, hard to watch it being made, but enjoying the outcome

[dbmk]

7. Thats perhaps the most precise description I've seen of this ever

[JFN1]

12. Me, too!

If you count getting your finger caught in the grinder a couple of times...!

[pinto]

2. Yeah, same idea here. Talk about being vetted.

:kick:

[Gore1FL]

3. No kidding.

My dog is 11 years old and not as vetted.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

:hi:

[Guava Jelly]

9. Hey!

I'm so sorry I never responded to your note.

I had a long day - a couple of spa treatments followed by a fondue dinner, compliments of Mr. Writer. :P

Then we came home and played D&D. I'm not kidding. :P

[Guava Jelly]

Sounds like a good day

And no prob.
I am glad Mr Writer came through. :pals: :loveya:

[Writer]

14. Yes, he certainly did.

How was your birthday?

[Guava Jelly]

15. Wonderful

I had a Seafood dinner and got a new Laptop :woohoo:

[Writer]

19. Oh yeah?

He. He. He. :evilgrin:

6. That shows how close it really was!

Despite the hair pulling and poo throwing around here, it was damn close!

If it hadn't been so close, it wouldn't have gotten so heated around here because one or the other would have been out of the running a very long time ago.

I'm sure many nay-sayers will say that it wasn't close, that Obama had the lion's share... bullpucky... he couldn't nail it down, could he? Because it was close... fine as a frog hair split eight ways!

I think it was all good.

[Writer]

11. What was the actual % difference in the popular vote.

Was it even 1%?

[JuniperLea]

17. Hard to say...

The caucus states are too hard to put into the equation. But she had enough delegates to keep him from getting the required amount all this time. So no matter how you want to slice it, it was close!

[RaleighNCDUer]

24. What was the actual % difference in the popular vote.

Immaterial.

Had the campaign hinged on the popular vote, Obama would have campaigned completely differently, and would have a significant lead there, too.

He won by the metric that counted.

[Writer]

25. I don't care. I want to know what the % difference was in the pop. vote.

That's all. I'm not trying to argue a point here. Lay off.

[cbayer]

8. How cool is that!

So many who had no role in previous primaries had big roles in this race. Hooray for the Democratic party!

[featherman]

10. I think it's great - 50 states and 4 territories and Americans Abroad

[Aloha Spirit]

13. Wow, remember these photos? It's been a long five months.

16. Not really. She had no chance tonight, they were just waiting to drop the hammer.

[LiberalAndProud]

18. Never before have I cared about the primary vote

in my own state, let alone South Dakota and Montana (and Puerto Rico and Guam). What an astounding process this has been! One for the history books.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

20. Actually, it was kind of fun going all the way.

:hi:

[Writer]

21. You dirty man you.

:evilgrin:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

22. For once, I wasn't making a double-entendre.

Just once, though. :evilgrin:

[Writer]

23. Riiiiiiight.

;)

26. Hillary ran a great campaign.

Hopefully she will be VP.
