Hillary fan on Randi: Obama is like a Messiah. Randi: That's what falling in love looks like.

Good one Randi!

1. To quote Randi quoting Bill Clinton:

"In the primary you get to fall in love. In the general, you fall in line."

2. hehehe

:D

10. I've heard Bill Clinton use those phrases differently.

Bill Clinton has said about Republicans versus Democrats embracing candidates: They want to fall in line, while we want to fall in love.

3. I'm listening, and she talked about falling in love with ALL the candidates

at the beginning of the campaign.

She spoke highly of Biden, Dodd, Richardson - that we were falling in love with our candidates THEN.

Your title is a little misrepresentative of what Randi was saying....

8. I did not misrepresent. The love comment came before she gave the full quote

and started talking about other primary candidates. You missed it.

4. I think that misrepresents the exchange a little.

The Hillary fan said that Obama supporters treat him like a Messiah, and that gives her pause (in a disturbing way).

Randi responded that Clinton has just as ardent supporters, that it's nothing special, that essentially "that's what falling in love looks like." In other words, people have "fallen in love" with their primary candidate choice. Randi seemed to be saying that the "Messiah" fear is overblown.

9. And how does my post misrepresent that? That's what I meant... nt

6. It took an extraordinary individual to become our first black nominee, this is a ....

self-fulfilling prophecy


Any African American who could overcome the race problem to win in places like Iowa, Kansas and Idaho...

(not that these places are racist, just that there are very few African Americans there)

...had to be truly unique. Sen Obama is an extraordinary individual. Truly unique. Prophecy self-fulfilled

7. Oh, please. That sounds like Obama's opening race card...
