Losing Will Make Obama Stronger

[THUNDER HANDS]

It's not how you get knocked down, it's how you get back up.

I think Obama will be stronger for this night.

Hillary is a fine, fine opponent. She will give him the fight of his life.

If he's going to be a great president, which I think he will be, he'll need to face the toughest test imaginable to get there. And there's no greater challenge than defeating a genius political team like the one Hillary has.

If he is what I, and many others, think he is, then he'll get through this.

He'll emerge stronger, sharper, and more resilient.

I believe.

Do you?

1. what we have now

is a race between two very strong candidates.

neither of them inevitable.

[Bonobo]

2. It is clear that it is dangerous to wear the mantle of "inevitability"

[Occam Bandage]

3. Hell, sure, I believe.

4. SC here we come

clintons better watch out!!!

5. He can take a punch.

And punch back faster and harder! Fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

6. Also good for Democratic participation in other states n/t

[jenmito]

Yes. He's now the underdog. HE will be the "comeback kid" and the next states will make that

happen. Congratulations to Hillary, goodbye to Edwards, and let's get the show on the road.

11. I agree with this. The Northeast is Hillary country and still just a 3% victory?

The midwest will not be so kind to her.

[jenmito]

13. Yeah, I think you're right...

He AND his supporters will work even harder to beat the Clinton machine. His speech was inspiring, gracious, and in a way, victorious.

7. It's his supporters who this loss will strengthen

because it was by less than three points. The point is, Hillary didn't blow him out of the water. They realize that it's not impossible now. All Obama has to do is fire them up.

Looking forward to a great race!

8. you are so correct- My son just said

that this will galvanize those who want to see him be the front runner into action.

YES WE CAN!

thank you for your message of hope-

I believe!

[JBoy]

9. Agree completely.

And the media loves a horserace. Democrats will continue to get lots of coverage, which can only be good.

10. He needs not only that 'political' skill, but more importantly concrete plans, well defined and

well supported: ready to slip off the tongue at a moments notice. So far this has been one of his major shortcomings. And from loooooong experience watching these things unfold, what I just said increases in weight the nearer the big primaries get.

He will learn from this, I have know doubt, but he must change his message and add substance to win the ballgame.

12. It's time for a hard working woman geek and not a big talking preacher

I'm so sick of all this belief shit. "Belief is the enemy of truth". In this regard Obama is the same as baby Bush.
