does it matter

[mathewsleep]

that hillary barely won? by 2%. or is a win a win?

1. Hillary crushed the perceptions game and showed power with women voters

[mathewsleep]

6. yes but

months ago she was the one who had a 30-40% lead here. so, really, it was only the resent polls she beat.
and you run a dangerous game to claim the woman vote for hillary. it's foolish to claim any voting block so early.

11. other folks would replace 'women' with 'white'

Is that fair, too?

Anyway, I'm still tripping over your coded post elsewhere

12. I'm a man and have been a Hillary supporter for decades

Obama is just a big talker. An empty suit with a big smile and a lot of hot air crafted to a preachers cadence.

It's long past time for woman president and Hillary has earned this for being in the trenches for women for 30+ years. Hillary got her scholarships before affirmative action.

Are you saying that Hillary Clinton is against them? Seriously?

I still don't know what to say......... I could probably start with Hillary not passing the bar in Washington DC, but passing it in Arkansas; and that Obama was not a Bush style legacy baby, but earned his magna cum laude diploma from Harvard, as well as his position on the Harvard Law Review.

I could start with a lot of things, but I wonder if it would be wasted breath, because I could also start with stories of certain people who think that every black doctor is an affirmative action case, and have found a 'safe' means of spreading their discomfort with the abilities of blacks -- the inferiority of blacks -- through invoking affirmative action.

Are you one of them?

13. What's wrong with white?

The Obama people can't have it both ways. America can't simultaneously now be colorblind and simultaneously Obama be the great black hope.

2. Yes, it matters. A lot.

You have no idea how much it matters.
I wish I could explain.

3. If ABC's site is correct, it doesn't matter.

Since both Senator Clinton and Senator Obama will each receive 9 delegates.

8. cnn says

the same thing. it seems only a moral victory.

9. It's a long process.

At some point, a candidate will begin to resonate more than others do, and they'll pull ahead.

4. It seemed to matter when Hillary came 600 or so votes behind Edwards in Iowa...nt

[Muttocracy]

5. in-state delegates or votes? 200,000 voted Dem, right?

[mathewsleep]

7. i never said

edwards spanked her in iowa. he didn't.

[PretzelWarrior]

10. very much so. both have struck now. Obama by 9

so his was decisive. We can see that just a few more things swinging the other direction can easily show us a mini streak of Obama wins.

We should feel excited about our candidates.

12. Psychologically, it's huge

...I'm kind of glad too - I want our candidate to be seasoned under fire - no runaway nominations this year.
