Hillary is going to win. Media myth of Obama is going to be shattered
I'm starting to root for Hillary in this one. The media is going to have egg on their face for their Obama Mania crap.

3. I'm not at all sure she's going to win, but
I'm glad to know you're rooting for her - I know you aren't generally her biggest fan. :)

4. I support Hillary
but I think Obama will win this by 3 to 5 points. He loses a little of his aura of inevitability and she shows she's still very much in the game.

9. I think that's what will probably happen, too
I don't want to get myself too excited, though. I'll just expect her to lose by 10 points and then will hopefully be surprised my something better.

10. I agree
Obama will edge her out by about 3-5%

But what really matters is this --

We are blowing the Republicans out of the freakin' water!

16. Not if voters saw petulant Bill on the stump ...
All his "fairy tale" trash talk about Obama was really unattractive and should have cost her some votes at the last minute.

19. IF she defies the polls and comes in a close 2nd
I think it may be a backlash against the backlash. It might be the big "f*** you" a lot of us felt over the last few days at the way she was attacked first for speaking passionately ("ANGER!") and then for tearing up ("FALLING APART!"). At least I'd like to think that.

26. It's early yet, but it would be so sweet if Clinton can win this one...
Yesterday, Obamanations were wondering if their candidate would win by double digits or just plain single. It's early still...but things are looking much better...just not for Obama.:evilgrin:

Keep alienating at us non Hillbots and Hillary will find herself short of votes in the GE. Result? President John McCain.

39. Yeah, because the Obamanations here on DU took Obama's win in Iowa so graciously...
I don't think I read one single post of gloating and of wondering when Clinton would drop out. Each and every one of them reached across to the supporters of Clinton. Yeah, that's what happened.:eyes:

42. Just remember this . . .
Come time for the general election, if hillary wins the nomination, then you will need all of those obama supporters to win. You gonna replace their votes with republican voters ? :rofl:

Hillary or Obama? More like Corporate Candidate A or Corporate Candidate B?

Either way, they'll just become this country's version of Gorbachev, presiding over a dying nation.
I can only hope against hope that you hillbots and obamabots tear each other apart and let edwards get the nom.

55. Don't forget that Edwards is scopin for a "two~man race"...
though I think the "two~man race" he's struggling for is between himself and Richardson for third place.

Thanks for the sh*ts and giggles though.:rofl:

32. Bullshit
Hillary stands for everything that Edwards is fighting against. Hillary is simply more of the SOS. Nothing would change with her in office. She'll probably even have Lieberman run as VP.

36. that makes no sense to me.
if you're rooting for your candidate, who was second in iowa and projected third in New hampshire.......... how can rooting for the 'other' be good?

who wants a race, when you're in it for your candidate to win it?

that just sounds like some 'beat the spread' gambling b.s., not true candidate backing, in my opinion.

but if this is gambling and entertainment to you, it's cool. it is a for a lot of people. it's exciting. it's always like this in an election year. and then folks fall back, and worry about other things -- like 'Xmas/Easter Catholics'.

40. If Obama had won, MSM would call this OVER.
I vote in PA.

I'd like to have a chance to have my PRIMARY vote count.

What I would really like to see is a brokered convention, with Edwards holding the balance.

Like we used to have, back in he day.

It's heartening to see her in the lead.

She has never ceased to amaze me, and pulling out a victory in NH would be over the top!

51. She is the one they want in the G.E.
They have been going on about her for 4+/- years now.

She is the one they want in the GE. She has 42-47% 'negatives', and even if she wins she is corporate -friendly enough to let the 'powers that be' slide. They may slide down our backs and crush us into a massive recession - but then, that was her fault..... she is the president.

The powers that be want her crushed (they don't want us to look at the nominee that will crush THEM aka-JE) They want us to play NINTENDO elections.... we are doing a great job so far.

the title period. Yesterday morning she was a basket case and now she can breathe again, nothing more.
