The media Obama spell has been broken. It's going to be hard
for him to get that much attention again. It's all hard work from here on.

9. wow you're giving up that quickly?

You must not have thought much of Obama to begin with. He only lost by a few percentage points. In a whacky state like NH, that's nothing to sneeze at. I've got mixed feelings about all of them, to be honest. But if you believe in one of the candidates - especially either Clinton or Obama, now is not the time to give up!

7. Thank God.
I kept expecting him to come riding in tonight on a white horse wearing shining armour.

Barack needs to address the gay issue.

Barack needs to address how he's going to bring real change when he's accepting so much money from the very parties who are benefiting the most from the status quo.

When he does those two things, he'll have my attention again. Until then, I will not vote for him.

8. are you suggesting he hasn't worked hard? He was never favored to win Iowa or NH
But I agree, his campaign is going to have to deal with heavy duty slime from Clinton.

10. I disagree. This is going to bring even more media attention to the race.
The loser is probably Edwards, because the focus is going to be on Clinton and Obama even more than it was before.

12. Some of his funders may disappear
it won't bode well for fundraising. Big money corporate donors like winners.

15. Obama will never get the kind of positive docile press he got last weekend again.
