If Clinton wins CA - get behind her now

[sjdnb]

cuz,just like has been proven in the past, a Dem party divided can be defeated. You really want four more years under a Republican executive?

Obama knows this - you could hear it in his speech that just ended.

[dchill]

1. ?

Take a deep breath, OK?

[sjdnb]

15. It's all about the delegates at this point ...

When Edwards, Kucinich, were tossed to the curb (by the powers that be - media & Dem party establishment) - and Gore chose not to be abandoned by the same - the race became all about power and money.

And, if Clinton wins CA tonight (and, big delegate states) it will be over.

[dchill]

"It's all about the delegates..."

Yep.

[NoBorders]

2. When Obama wins the next 6 states, get behind him then!

seriously, we have to stay united to defeat the republicans.

[joefree1]

7. I voted for Hillary but I will support Obama if he wins

And I hope Obama supporters will return the favor. All others can join the Republican party.

[Cha]

12. Wow! How'd ya get from

Dean to hilary? If I may ask?

[nonconformist]

37. I was for Dean in 2004, and Hillary (formerly Edwards) now.

Why is that confusing?

I'm more confused by people thinking that Obama is actually liberal, myself.

[Cha]

41. Because Dean and Obama were

against the fucking War On Iraq from the GET GO and had the brains and the heart to know better.

The War on Iraq is my issue and hilary hates Dean who has done so much for our country but hilary is dlc and Dean is For the People not corporations.

I proudly cast my vote for Obama in New York today.

[joefree1]

51. I know what I would get from Hillary

No idea about Obama. He talks good but that has never been enough. And I was always a fan of the big dog.

Being a supporter of Dean was a learning experience. :hi:

[dchill]

13. Deal.

;)

[NoBorders]

Absolutely.

I just reject calling the nomination at this very moment.

[Kittycat]

3. Let's talk after the next 6 primaries/caucuses

[faithfulcitizen]

4. silliness

[K Gardner]

5. LOL. Go to bed.

[polichick]

6. Count up the delegates won tonight! nt

[grantcart]

8. Obama is ahead in delegates

he has more money

and the schedule favors him

Obama is going to win this

Hillary had to put him out tonight

[Carolina]

24. thank you

it's gonna be hard for me to get behind HRC, I can't stand her.

[HarveyBrooks]

58. Exactly how I feel...

about Obama.

[KAZ]

9. If she wins the nomination, then I'm 100% behind her. n/t

[meow mix]

10. rofl where do they get these vivid imaginations

wtf

[scheming daemons]

11. Go to sleep Clintonista... California notwithstanding, you guys lost ground tonight...

Obama's delegate lead got bigger.....

[Carolina]

27. exactly

I'll be hard pressed to get behind HRC.

[cali]

14. don't make a total fool of yourself. oops too late

what a stupid thread to run on a night when the two are at par.

Not a chance am I joining Hilly's team unless she wraps up the nomination. And she ain't doing that tonight.

[rodeodance]

19. What a Rude comment to make to the IP-Shame on you.

don't make a total fool of yourself. oops too late

[cali]

44. shame on YOU

The OP was rude. It deserved no respect. Now bug off, copycat.

[BringBigDogBack]

16. Fuck no. Never

[Maddy McCall]

18. Not even if she wins the nomination?

Funny, considering your user name.

:rofl:

[sjdnb]

20. So am I to assume you're voting McCain?

Give me a break? Fact is any real chance for change has already dropped out/or been driven out -- and we've been left with the two candidates chosen by the powers that be (in the party) and money.

[Moochy]

26. OFF WITH HIS HEAD!

[BrightKnight]

48. No, Huckabee - n/t

[Arugula Latte]

17. No thank you. I'd rather fight for a decent candidate.

[mrmx9]

22. Looks like Obama will win Missouri now

Should Clinton withdraw? No of course not - there are still 20+ odd states still to vote.

A long way to go before we have a winner!

[sjdnb]

30. This is why Dems never win effect real change EVER

Either they are too beholden to a person to support the party's candidate OR they are so 'principled' that they support candidates who will never, ever, win.

I am an Edwards supporter - I feel your pain. But, the way the political world works these days I'd rather have a strong Dem candidate than a Puke who wins because the Dems were weak.

[Arugula Latte]

35. It's a false premise to say Clinton winning California means Obama is finished.

He did great tonight and had some upsets. Hillary had no upsets. I'd say Obama comes out of this with greater momentum than Ms. Inevitability.

[sjdnb]

40. Hillary won MA without the Kennedy machine

Personally, at this point, I don't care who wins - either will be better than a Republican - but, not all that much. But, tonight, fact is, it's delegates - not # of states that matter.

And, unless you all are hoping for a President McCain you'd better stop bashing her and Obama and get behind whoever wins the majority of delegates at the tipping point.

Fact is, you're gonna either wind up with Bush Lite or Change Lite -- the REAL agents of change are already out of the race.

[Arugula Latte]

42. Too early for that.

The race is far from over. Delegates are given proportionately, so it's not like she'll have a smashing delegate lead after tonight.

[Arugula Latte]

61. Why should we get behind one now when the delegate count is so close?

Your original post was saying "Get behind Clinton if she wins California." Well, she won California, but the delegate count is split. Now you say "it's delegates - not # of states that matter." So you are contradicting yourself.

[LadyVT]

21. Get behind her! She won!! And even without the absentee ballots!!

[scheming daemons]

39. She lost the night, VT.... California is only one piece.....

Obama won more states and more votes and most importantly, more delegates.

You should be getting behind HIM!

[CyberPieHole]

23. Clinton will win California...well, at least I hope so.

[gmudem]

25. California uses proportional delegates.

Clinton NEEDED to win Cali, Obama did not. And obviously Clinton is not going to be winning by 20 points so Obama will be getting plenty of delegates.

This race will definitely be going to March 4th at least.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

29. the race is NOT over

[gmudem]

28. double post

double post

[Rowdyboy]

31. How absurd. Why should I care who carries California? No one owns my vote....

I have over a month until my primary. I'll decide 3/11/08.

Thank God I don't hold their rude supporters against our candidates. Otherwise I could never vote for Clinton or Obama. You guys need to learn some basic psychology (and manners).

[sniffa]

32. Not really

She was always going to win the popular vote, but like other states she was guaranteed, she's going to either lose the delegate count, or barely win it. Good on her for coming back from a HUGH!!1! lead to barely win some states. :patriot:

[blm]

33. Obama is just now going INTO his strong states down the road. PLUS he has three times more money

so maybe YOU should start watching the moon RISING and stop bemoaning the one that is waning.

[bicentennial_baby]

34. Fuck no!

:puke:

[Raine]

36. Uh, no thanks

no one can order me to do anything.

[Robeson]

38. You guys are a laugh riot. This really is high entertainment.

[mmonk]

43. When's the Dem party gonna get behind me?

And the constitution? Answer that and I'll see.

[Jim Sagle]

45. I have no use for Obama. BUT the inevitability con is just a buncha shit.

People should vote for the one they believe in, end of story.

I voted Edwards.

[Eurobabe]

46. Talk to me after the March primaries are over. n/t

[stillrockin]

47. I say, if Obama wins MO, get behind him now.

[ursi]

49. I will wait to see who files Independent first

[faithfulcitizen]

50. get some sleep!

[nolabels]

56. I did already

Just woke up for a minute to tell you that California is not a state but more of a concept :boring:

[donheld]

52. All in good time.

I'm kind of glad both Hillary and Obama are having to really work for it. I don't think it would be good for anyone if they got it without real work.

[Hart2008]

53. What and do the "Elephant Walk"? No thanks. That is for Repukes! n/t

[Popol Vuh]

54. When did Hillary become a Dem?

Did I miss something?

[William769]

55. When did Obama become a Dem?

Did I miss something?

[Danger Mouse]

57. Oh come on, you 'Get behind Clinton now!!!!!1' folk are so quaint.

:P

[Guava Jelly]

59. I will get behind the Nominee when th Nominee is chosen

Until then I am supporting Obama

[Meshuga]

60. Last I checked

The delegate count is at about 825-732 (with the superdelegates being the difference). I'll get behind Obama because there are a lot a delegates still left to throw the balance either way.
