The "UNSTOPPABLE MOMENTUM" stalled over the weekend and reversed. Obama peaked.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

The problem with novelty is it wears off.

[Unsane]

1. Obama won 13 states to Clinton's 9

[rosetta627]

5. And likely has more delegates

I'm thinking he has the big MO on his side, and I'm not JUST talkin' about Missouri.

[William769]

25. Want to guess again?

:rofl:

[Mojambo]

2. Umm. Nice try. n/t

[Seen the light]

3. You're so cute when you're angry n/t

[tammywammy]

4. Bwahahahaha

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:



The next 6 primaries are favored towards Obama.

[southern_dem]

6. it was a wash n/t

[krkaufman]

22. Right. But the fact that Obama is tied after the super-frontloaded primary schedule ...

... is amazing, given the advantage it (intentionally!) gives to the name recognition candidate. (Terry McAuliffe designed it that way for 2004.)

Now that he's withstood this punch, and had a 3-to-1 fundraising advantage in January, he's in a great position to start building a delegate lead. But he better brace for a tough next round.

7. Keep repeating it to yourself. Eventually you might believe it. NT

[geiger]

24. some folks think repeating things often enuf makes them true (at least in some people's minds)

[lapfog_1]

8. That was said before

right after N.H.

funny thing that.

Obama was only going to ever win Iowa, because you know those people there are just kooks.

Then, after S.C. the story changed to "Obama only appeals to black people".

And now we're back to "novelty" candidate? Really?

[CreekDog]

9. They've both peaked

Now they have to do the really hard work of snagging a decisive portion of each other's voters.

For Hillary, it will have to be done by her inspiring people.

For Obama, it will be by showing mastery of the issues and some level of detail.

In the end we will end up with a candidate better than the two of them are right now.

That's a good thing folks, let's go with it.

[Mojambo]

11. Good post.

Agreed completely.

[CreekDog]

16. thanks n/t

:hi:

[cloudythescribbler]

17. I strongly doubt that Obama has peaked -- indeed 'll continue rising until & unless a MAJOR reversal

Without such a major reversal, by the end of Feb Obama will be clearly recognized overall as the odds-on favorite (which he really is already, including at InTrade).

The key races now are in PA, Ohio, TX (probably to HRC), WI, OR -- while there are other states like LA, VA, NC, VT, and WA already likely to go to Obama. Obama wins even if he splits evenly on delegates in the "key" states TOTAL.

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

18. You make a good point, and what's more

Whether or not Obama's surge carried him past Clinton is not the only measure of what he achieved.

He still surged significantly.

The real test will be whether his support rallies and surges again, or just flattens out and dissipates.

That is the test Dean failed in 2004.

[LittleClarkie]

10. What happened to "Hillary is leading in most of the Super Tuesday states"

That was his momentum dude. That's how he won 13 states tonight.

[Danger Mouse]

29. Yeah, I thought Hillary was going to 'kick his ass on Super Tuesday!'

What happened to THAT?
:rofl:

[EFerrari]

12. That explains why he got more delegates tonight. he peaked!

[kid a]

13. ooooohhhh noooooooo whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.......

dream on ...

[K Gardner]

14. Yes indeed. The novelty of YOU wore off about 2 hrs after you started posting.

[Eurobabe]

15. I thought I had YOU on IGNORE, get off my fucking screen. n/t

[matcom]

19. Does your mom know you spilled Cheetoes all over her basement?

[Meshuga]

20. You can say that if and when Clinton wins

But for now sit back and relax because is too early to claim anything.

[Perry Logan]

21. Platitudes can only get you so far.

[workinclasszero]

23. ROTFLMAO!!

Lets see...Obama won more states, has more delegates, has way more money and is favored in the next six or so primary's/caucuses.

Yeah he "stalled" alright.:sarcasm: :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Hillary has the lifelong dem/old folks/older women/hispanics lock up while Obama is drawing all the youth vote, 80 percent of the black vote and the vast majority of independents.

IOW Obama is building a new dem party for the future while Hillary is stuck in the past.

We'll see who's MO is stalled after Hillary runs out of money and Obama wins the next six primary's!!

ROTFLMAO!!!:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[William769]

28. Want to show where he has more delegates?

:rofl:

[momster]

30. Lifelong Dem Here

and I won't be choosing Hillary Clinton in the primary (next week for us!) I'm a middle aged woman too...but I'm so done with the Clintons. Talk about the novelty wearing off! The oldety's even more worn. We've seen everything they can do and have done and, unless they've been taking violin lessons or salsa dancing or something, everything they will do. There are no more rabbits in Clinton's top hat and the Republican hecklers in the crowd have a jeer for every sleight of hand she knows how to do.

Dropping the metaphor...let her remain in the Senate where her gifts are better suited to the job.

[William769]

26. Obama, the premature delajackulator. NT

[Danger Mouse]

27. Uhm no?

Obama exceeded expectations.
Have you forgotten what you Hillary supporters have been braying since South Carolina?
'Just wait till Super Tuesday, Hillary's gonna WRECK Obama!!'
Yeah, guess what? It didn't happen.
