OBAMA SUPPORTERS: What Is Your Emotional State Right Now?

[THUNDER HANDS]

Poll question: OBAMA SUPPORTERS: What Is Your Emotional State Right Now?

Which descibes your emotions best?

[calteacherguy]

1. Interested to see what the final results are.

Race is far from over whatever happens.

[HeraldSquare212]

2. tense waiting for updates

but if he loses, I would pick chagrined.

[TwilightGardener]

3. Just depressed. Can't think any further ahead than that.

[PretzelWarrior]

4. intrigued, happy, skeptical, etc. etc.

[tishaLA]

5. Anxious but hopeful

[Occam Bandage]

6. I'm impressed with Hillary, and confused as to how the polling could be so off.

[K Gardner]

21. Ever heard of Diebold? Sorry.. I put my tinfoil hat on. Had to.

[sandnsea]

disappointed, dismayed, baffled

I don't know how people vote for somebody who did all the shit Hillary did in this campaign. Trying to smear a black man as a drug dealer crosses you off my list. Permanently. And the list of the shit the Clintons have pulled goes on and on for years.

Somebody please explain the concept of ethics to me because I don't think anybody has any.

[K Gardner]

19. I'm right there with ya. Disgusted. Its OK, she has to come South at

some point. Now MSNBC is all over the "we're going to have a woman president" chyte. They haven't seen anything until they get her down here, I'm tellin ya.

[DivorcingNeo]

52. Word.

I don't understand how that lil' tidbit is going over some peoples heads. That points to part of the disingenuous argument.

[still_one]

7. pissed, and if hillary is the democratic nominee, we deserve exactly what we get

as explained in the Kyle/Lieberman ammendment

[PM Martin]

8. As a non-American.

I like Obama and Hillary, but Obama's hope theme is inspirational.

I am shocked that he did not do so well tonight, but am impressed that Hillary managed to come from so far behind.

I wish them both well.

:dem:

[NoBorders]

27. Hoped for a blow to put this thing to bed, but

as someone else said, it's not a bad thing for more states and more people have more of a say.

[Mass]

9. Not particularly surprised it is this closed. The polls were really weird for NH.

Between McCain needing the independents as well and the MA and NH establishment behind Clinton (those who had endorsed somebody at least), there was no way it would be that large an advantage to Obama.

Now, the results are so close he still can win, but by a small margin.

[killbotfactory]

10. I was hoping for another blow out

So I'm a bit disappointed, but it ain't over yet.

[Cha]

26. Yeah I know what you mean..

and right now it sucks to care so much..cause there's NO BLOWOUT! }(

And in indeed it ain't over. There was this thread that got locked that said "The Dream is Dead"..and I went on to cheer him up but it was too late.:)

[Bluerthanblue]

11. wary but believing

that Obama will win. Oddly glad that it wasn't a land-slide.

[thoughtcrime1984]

12. From a 2% lead in a tiny state??

If this is construed as a Clinton mandate, then this nation is even more fucked up than it appears to be!

[Clintonista2]

15. ...Except that Clinton was expected to LOSE by 10%+++

It's all media perception at this point. Even a tiny Obama win would still be EXCELLENT for Clinton.

[slick8790]

30. I can't believe this goalpost moving spin.

You're saying a tiny obama win would be great for clinton based on the past 5 days. for almost a year before this NH was supposed to be her "firewall". She loses or barely ekes out a win, and that's excellent. bullshit.

[thoughtcrime1984]

36. Yeah, nothing like severely lowered expectations

so you can look like "the comeback kid". This race is not in Hil's pocket yet, guys.

[DB1]

13. 7 Days Ago If you told me Obama would win 1 and virtually tie another

I would be ecstatic, and I am no less now, the Clinton Juggernaut no longer exists!!!!

[ronnykmarshall]

14. GRRRR!

I can't vote in this because I'm a Hillary supporter.

I will say this to yous kids.

Hold your heads up, keep pushing and support your candidate. It ain't over!

I've been one depressed queen all week. But we gotta understand this ... it's going to go on and on like this for awhile.

[tammywammy]

20. Ahhhh

Ronny. :loveya:

You're my favorite Clinton supporter. :loveya:

[ronnykmarshall]

41. I love you too!

My best Obama gal!

[tammywammy]

45. Congrats on the Hillary win tonight!

[ronnykmarshall]

46. Thanks my friend.

Your guy is giving a wonderful speech right now. Be proud! I know I am as Democrat!

[FrenchieCat]

16. OK......

as Clinton (due to Clark) has always been my 2nd.

But I like seeing young people voting and Obama is doing that.

So I'm happy, but a bit sad too.

LOL!

[silverweb]

17. New Hampshire is hardly the end of the road.

Even if Clinton carries the state, it's going to be a photo finish.

It doesn't mean a whole lot, except that this is a very tight race and will not be over until Super Tuesday.

[ellisonz]

18. Bill Clinton.

:mad:

[Cha]

37. Yeah..

:( We're gonna see..pins un needles, baby!

[MzShellG]

22. Cautiously hopeful. nt

[Cha]

23. Other and thanks for adding that

and making this poll, MagicRat, because I needed a thread that made sense.

My "other" is bummed but tomorrow is another day. The thing that's depressing is the way hillary and bill run their slime and get votes for it.

[Egnever]

24. interested

I love the game. And the game just got a whole lot more interesting.

[Cha]

29. Congrats on your

Nerves of Steel!

[geek tragedy]

25. Depressed. I had a feeling this would happen. n/t

[Cha]

33. It's a bummer Obama didn't

win big and stop bill and hillary from getting reinforcement for their lies and slime but hey there's going to be a lot of twists and turns down the road and doncha just know Obama and his campaign is learning from all this..

[geek tragedy]

49. Learning that the DLC still owns this party.

Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton.

[Cha]

50. I hope after a good

night's sleep that you start feelin' positive tomorrow. :) I was crushed but I'm slowing coming back to the reality that it sure as shit ain't over.

[Konza]

38. Not surprised

I figured it was a long shot, but thought we'd emerge with a 3-4 point win over Team Clinton.
But remember,it's not over yet.

The forces of power are far too entrenched to let anyone like Obama or Edwards have a seat at the table without a fight. Part of the problem is we still have Obama and Edwards running against The Machine and each other. South Carolina and Nevada will be the crucible. After that either Edwars or Obama must go and support the other. I'd prefer Obama, but I'd support Edwards.

[monmouth]

28. This is healthy for the process though, don't ya think?? eom

[Dnesh]

31. Obama should cry and say how hard it is on him

That would work for him wouldn't it? There's no double standard as far as crying goes is there?

<sarcasm>

[bunnies]

32. As a NH voter, this is the saddest day of my political life.

We are embarrassed of our state today. Over an hour of crying for me. Im not sure I can take it anymore. My state is hopeless and everyone we know is disheartened.

Id have been happy with either Obama or Edwards or Richardson. But a few tears makes a nominee. Heres to hoping the rest of the country is wiser than NH.

[sandnsea]

57. What are people there saying??

I just don't understand it. Is this woman thing really flying up there?? I cannot believe this either.

[sistersofmercy]

34. Shocked, honestly didn't expect Hillary to lose by double digits but

I also didn't expect her to win or run such a tight race. I predicted 4 to 5 point difference to friends. The election process is fun and I will vote, proudly, for whichever candidate gets the nod. I like Hillary so it's not a problem for me. Guess we will know after super Tuesday. Still I did expect Obama to win though.

[Radical Activist]

35. Not surprised or worried.

Of the four early primary states New Hampshire is the one Hillary was most likely to win. I always thought she would and was surprised by the recent polls. The vote totals are close so its not a decisive victory like Iowa was for Obama. Obama will come back to win South Carolina and the nomination.

[Cha]

39. Good, I like to read

encouraging analysis..you think after South Carolina that Obama will take Super Tuesday on the 5th of Feb?

[Radical Activist]

51. I don't think anyone will sweep super tuesday.

The end for Hillary will be when she only barely wins Arkansas. There's a small chance she might even lose it by a few points. I know people still love Clinton but a majority of Arkansas primary voters are black and black people are finally breaking for Obama in large numbers. Clinton will win Arkansas by no more than 10 points. Obama will win Illinois by 20 points or more.

Either way, South Carolina is more important than New Hampshire this year.

[Barack_America]

40. Ditto that! Well said. n/t

[Lefty-Taylor]

42. I'm actually an Edwards person, but I thought N.H. voters would bet smarter than this.

Hillary is the worst choice.

[Bullet1987]

43. How about flabbergasted?

[bunnies]

44. Me too. And I live here. I apoligize for my state. nt

[JI7]

47. i have been saying that Hillary will likely win NH

it was only recently with the polls saying he had a double digit lead that i started to lean more towards him. but with McCain also competing for indies i was always cautious.

i think Obama did pretty well. he came close. i'm ready for the other states.

[SCDem]

48. I'm hopeful for a South Carolina Obama win

and I like running as an underdog - makes me work harder for my candidate.

[AtomicKitten]

53. I'm really fine with it.

Obama did very well.
Congratulations to HRC.
On to South Carolina and Nevada.

I remain fired up and ready to go. ;)

[ZinZen]

54. Well the good news is

she cannot play the poor put upon victim anymore. She won, so Obama can have the underdog status.

[BeyondGeography]

55. I grieved earlier in the evening, now we move on

It was more of a reprieve for Hillary than a death blow to Obama, even though he had the chance to knock her out tonight.

I also felt better after the speeches. Obama is still the superior candidate, IMO. We'll see what happens.

[David Zephyr]

56. Call me crazy, but I feel that Obama will take South Carolina & Michigan.

This is just begining.

OBAMA!

[DebJ]

59. Michigan doesn't count

[DebJ]

58. 2% points.....I can live with that! Go Obama!
