I think I'm rooting for Hillary tonight.
Just for tonight, though. :7

I find the "washed in the blood" frenzy surrounding Obama is troublesome.

And Edwars has just promised TOO much.

Well, they all have, but HC seems to have a more realistic view of what can and can't be done as Prez. Understandably.

I still have GRAVE concerns about her, and about her electability in the GE, but for tonight, I'm hoping she does well.

This sucks, by the way.

2. I'm with you.
We have the Glorified and the Crucified. I support the Crucified this evening.

JRE will never be an option for me.

4. I'm rooting for Hillary tonight just because of all the bullshit
about her "breakdown". Not that my support means anything. It's not like I can vote for her. All I can do is sit in my living room listening to the returns and say "Go Hillary!".....and I can clap.

5. Actually, I think there could be a lot people feeling the
same way and because of it, she may do better in NH than is expected. That works for me. I don't think it is healthy for one candidate to blow everyone away before the rest of the states get a chance to cast their votes. It is also isn't good for Obama. He needs to have a good hard fight to keep in the world of reality.

6. Probably true....
if it's too easy for him, he'll become even more complacent.

10. Rachel just tried to get the point across about the crying thing...
Edited on Tue Jan-08-08 07:44 PM by 1corona4u
and these fucking assholes, Chris, Pat, and to a lesser degree, Keith, all ignored what she was saying...unreal.

11. I have lost ALOT of respect for Keith over the last few months -
Here's to hoping that the rumors are true and the Rachel Maddow is going to get her own show.

9. Last poll I saw in NC had Hillary beating the hometown guy.
Now my primary isn't until May so I assume it might be meaningless, but the MSM has been saying it will be all over tonight? :wtf: Right now I want Hillary to kick those pompous talking heads right in the pants, or worse.

If she were to then start sounding arrogant, I might change again. But I don't want it all to be over with.
:grr:

I think I am in one of those "I am woman, let me roar" moods.

13. Yeah, nothing like kicking the media in the ass...
even if Hillary lost by a point or two, it's nothing, and they would still spin the shit out of it....

8. I just heard a commentator on C-Span saying that what the Democrats really
want is someone who can WIN. If that was accurate, Joe would be leading in the polls now.

Ahhh...now we're back to the IMPORTANT topic -- change or experience?

And, no mention of Edwards.

14. I agree with you.
And omg I never expected to say this,but I have been trying to listen closely to what they say and I think she is much more informed than Obama and John Edwards has never been an option for me.

But I still have No second choice, Joe is still the man and this country will regret not paying more attention to him.

16. I don't have a 2nd choice either and I will vote for Biden
on my primary ballot, but looking objectively at all three, Hillary is the most qualified without a doubt. Meanwhile, the whole Obama Messiah thing is a real turn-off.

17. Well...
I just looked at this map, and depending on the counts, she could lose by 8 points, if it stays true;

20. It's interesting that Hillary's lead...
by votes is larger than Obama's..she's ahead 4323, in the counties she leads in, and Obama is at 1938 in the counties he leads in....
