OK Obama fellow Obama folks, it's NOT over yet. Hillary is still fighting VERY hard in Ohio and Texas, and especially in Ohio she's got some strong support. There is a way to go, so don't start talking about how it is completely over yet. WE NEED TO KEEP WORKING HARD FOR THE UPCOMING PRIMARIES. In fact, we need to work HARDER now more than ever to close this process in our favor. So KEEP working. Go to barackobama.com and see how you can help, or if you live in or near the upcoming primary states put your boots on the ground.

1. No. He has to be very careful in the debates, and not let her bait or goad him
into a damaging statement or position, or get him to look arrogant or cocky.

2. I am well aware of that and refuse to gloat, about anything, because
we still have 2 weeks to go before the big primaries. After that, I might be able to relax!
But that's a good reminder.

3. I wasn't going to ever "gloat" about it... we are all Democrats
but... I think it was premature to offer the olive branches here after the big Wisconsin win.

I'm not offering any until the other side of our internal struggle concedes, and that hasn't happened yet (though, I must admit, I'm just not seeing the same number of "talking point" hit jobs on Obama in GDP yesterday or today that there have been in the past).

4. I agree
it is NOT over and I think the results in Ohio and Texas will either cinch it or give an indication that yet again, dont count the Clintons out, and this will be a fight to the bitter end.

Good luck to both candidates obv. but I hope Barack wins.

5. It's only going to get harder
Even if Obama wins one or both states on the 4th, we still have a long road ahead of us. We need to keep in mind that this momentum that he is enjoying cannot sustain itself forever. There will be a dip, and things will taper off. The attacks will increase (hopefully they'll be coming from the right, and not from our own dems as witnessed on this board.) I think we have to all prepare for that, be ready to dig in our heels and keep fighting. It's within our grasp though -- I can really feel it! :bounce:

8. Don't forget about VT and RI
They're small but important as well. I know that Hillary will probably take them as they are in her "backyard", but if Obama can keep it close, it's a bonus.

7. I've been for Obama since the beginning and truly believe that he will deliver on what
he is saying.

However, I wish none of the candidates had dropped out and taken their names off the ballots. Every state should have the right to vote for all the candidates.

I think Hillary Will stay in till the convention and I don't blame her at all for doing it. She should fight for what she believes in and she believes she is the better choice. Don't forget, she'll be hitting the age issue pretty quick. This is most likely the only realistic shot she has at getting to be president.

And, she does Obama a great service by making him fight all the way. Better to have a battle tested candidate and be prepared for the filth from the republicans.

GOBAMA! Bringing Texas home to Obama.
