hey, pssst,
you do realize that Hillary Clinton is still the frontrunner and is no where near done, don't you? It's a good thing to keep that fact in mind.

Celebrate the victories, but don't forget that there will be defeats.

1. She is NOT the frontrunner anymore
This race is now entirely up for grabs.

2. She has more delegates
She's ahead in that respect-- for now

However, this is not a time to rest on one's laurels. This race is FAR from over.

/ not a Clinton or Obama supporter here

20. Of course he's going to say that
But this race is essentially tied right now. Could go either way and wouldn't surprise me one bit.

3. Yes. Certainly. I expect her to win the nomination.

I wouldn't go that far- at all
but the pronouncements of her demise are entirely premature.

I am beginning to think that Obama can do it.

8. I think Obama *can* do it, but I would be quite surprised if he actually did.

I don't think Super Tuesday will go as well as I'm hoping it will; it's far enough out that the SC bounce should fade.

10. I wouldn't be. At all.
There's clearly quite a strong resistance to Clinton. That's not something that should be ignored.

4. I'm being realistic this time. I can't take any more crushing disappointments
like New Hampshire, so I'm keeping my expectations under control.

5. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Cali
She tried to get everyone to like her by throwing even people she supports under the bus. She's why the term "With friends like these, who needs enemies" was invented.

9. do you ever consider trying to at least look a wee bit intelligent
or don't you have the mental capability of doing so?

11. Tell me friend,
How does constantly playing the fence make you look even a wee bit intelligent. All it does is hedge your bets, and make you a momentum killer. Thanks for that!

12. If you had even a little bit of smarts, you'd know that I'm not even
remotely "playing the fence" whatever the fuck you think that means, little genius. I suppose you're attempting to spit out, sitting on the fence- you can't even get that right.

Pathetic as always, little wolshie.

13. You're not answering my question at all
What is the point of this thread? To rain on the people who support the same candidate that you supposedly support? What are you trying to prove by always being the dope always capping enthusiasm?

6. Believe me, I know!
There'll be many more tricks and traps in store for our guy. The Clintons will not give up power without a monumental struggle. This will really prepare the Obama campaign for the GE, should he get that far. I have an increasingly good feeling about our candidate, though!

16. The Clintons will not give up power ...
I'm just curious - what power do the Clinton's now hold (besides Hillary being one of 100 Senators)?

18. Is Hillary supposed to say "I was just kidding, I don't want to be President"
...or do the Clinton's have some power that Obama doesn't (i.e. - they're both Senators). Please clarify for me...

21. Obviously, with Bill as an ex-pres and Hil representing the establishment
the Clintons are very powerful, politically. To pretend that they're not hugely influential with an army built over 20 years is to be silly. But you're just a "Hugh Moran" huh? ;)

22. So they have no more power than Obama unless they win the election.
Thanks for clarifying and the attempt at an insult ;)

15. I see it similar to how Obama sees it
an uphill battle trying to win against the status quo. That is never easy but it can be done.

17. Only a fool would count her out
before the game is over. She plays for keeps.

This is from a Clinton skeptic, BTW.

19. Wouldn't it be SWEET
If Obama won the Florida primary by a huge margin?

Anything is possible, with the increase of donations and MAJOR endorsements...

and if FA is a "beauty contest" it should go to the most attractive candidate (politically attractive, no sexism, racism or any other ism)
