53. In a week's time, and including the win tonite, Obama is ~ +18 delegates.
Tonite's not a win. They just slowed the bleeding.

42. Actually - the Clinton's were predicting 80/20. Looks like we beat expectations
Congrats to Clinton... But Obama has moved on to the real target:

27. It is better than expected for Obama.
Obama was at 23-27% in the polls. The corporate media will not mention this though.

9. It is certainly a great moral booster for the Hillary camp. I am glad. Though I must still admit
it looks like Obama will be our nominee. Still, it was nice to close on a high note. We at least deserve to go out with a smile after all out hard work :)

34. I think it's part of being a Democrat to never give up, I'm not surprised after all that's happened
in the last 8 years that the Democratic Party is still filled with people who care so much they don't give up. I agree with you 100% about the high note and smile!

52. If we go by that criteria
Doesn't that mean this stopped being a primary the moment the first democratic candidate dropped out, after all that meant a lot of people couldn't vote on their candidate

17. Great. With 66% to 31%?
Not enough to make a dent that Obama will erase tonight/tomorrow with SD endorsements.

At best, that's 19-9 gain.

62. Clinton has won more blue states, Obama has won more red states
Which proves Obama is weaker in blue states than Clinton.
Which then can be extrapolated to opine than McCain could
win a few blue states from Obama easier than Clinton.

69. Clinton has proven she is stronger in almost ALL BLUE states
and the purple states such as Florida, Ohio, Michigan.

Obama will not only lose every red state in GE, he is more
likely to drop a few of the blue states to McCain.

Are you so dense that you can't understand the obvious?
