Something weird is happening to me
I know Obama is the best candidate, but I see myself rooting for a Hillary win in NH.

I think it's Maureen Dowd and Chris Matthews' fault.

4. Only Americans opt to vote for candidates based on some silly look, glance, incident or word.
Very odd creatures, Americans!

11. Especially after initiating a flamefest saying Obama is NOT Black.
Some serious psychological pathology happening here.:crazy:

20. ROFL! Americans are about the silliest damned things.
Europeans look at the way we carry on elections and think we're out of our frikkin minds!

5. OK, I'm wearing a Cher mask ...
"SNAP OUT OF IT!"

It's going to take more than another loss in NH to really take the wind out of HRC's sails and give us a real competition here.

15. God does it ever look dopey when someone smiles with their mouth open!
I noticed that Bill Hemmer (robot dope on Faux Noize) did that all during their New Year's Eve coverage. Both 41 and 42 look like absolute idiots in that shot ... Shut your stinkin' traps!!!

14. I'm rooting for anyone but Obama to win NH
simply because I want this whole process to be more exciting. How exciting is it if it's obvious from the start that Obama is the candidate?

16. When you are more interested in the adrenaline from the race
than you are about the outcome for this country, that is a gambling addiction.

17. Same here. I've found myself defending Hillary lately a lot.
Which doesn't make that much sense with my politics at all, its just my gut reaction to what seems like really cruel posts against her...

19. seriously, i feel a bit sorry
for hillary. he ego is badly bruised. she thought she was going to walk right through and get the nomination. she might still get it, and i'm okay with that even though my vote is going to obama.

26. Methinks you are mad because you think Obama is black ;-)

My other thread was that controversial. I knew hatred would be a side effect.

24. Yes!
I really think it would be better for the Democrats and for the country if Obama is the nominee. But I want to see Hillary win tonight just to watch Matthews head explode -- and, OK, to wipe some of the smug off the more fervent Obamaites.

It is indeed Dowd and Matthews fault, like everything else.

29. I'd be for the ghost of Richard Nixon winning it
if we could watch Tweety's head explode.

This is the strongest field of Democrats I have witnessed in my lifetime. I'm thrilled to see the high turn out for our party's nominees.
