Wow! Obama and Clinton wind up TIED in N.H....
...in number of delegates, that is. :evilgrin:

What? That isn't what's important? Funny...that's not what Hill's Shills were saying last Thursday, when they were pointing out that Obama "only won one delegate more" than HRC there.

So, by the standard they themselves espoused only last week, the first two presidential contests resulted in a narrow Obama victory and a dead-even tie. I'd say it's time for Hillary to consider dropping out...

1. Ummm losing a 15% lead in a single day isn't something you should be proud of
Just sayin...

3. But what about the 25 point lead she lost since early fall?
Seems like that could cut both ways, eh?

Obama loses his lead in 1 day. Hmmm...

You're right. You should be very proud :rofl:

10. You miss the point
Edited on Wed Jan-09-08 04:51 AM by RummyTheDummy
But that's to be expected. Last time I checked, 25>15. And where does it say I'm an Obama supporter?

5. We aren't saying that.

I agree that delegates are what is most important here.

7. It's Not About Delegates At This Point...It's About Perception

This is the biggest upset since Buster Douglas beat Mike Tyson...

14. Yep...
delegate count was really close in both Iowa and New Hampshire but you'd never know it from the coverage both of those contests got....It's all about perception and the perception after Iowa was that Obama won big and had all the mo...Now it's that Hillary did the near impossible by coming back with the narrow win last night. Fair or not, that's what it is.

11. And you're the type of dumb ass that can't understand irony...
Edited on Wed Jan-09-08 04:59 AM by regnaD kciN
And, for the record, I think anyone who demands of any of the big three to "drop out now!" this early is another kind of dumb ass. :spank:

12. Well said.
And I thought Lirwin2 was the dim bulb of this thread. Turns out this one is a real winner.
