Isn't There One Obama Supporter...

[Steely_Dan]

who will congratulate Clinton on her showing in FL?

-P

[Beausoir]

1. :crickets chirping:

No. They just don't have it in them to be gracious in either victory or defeat. Not here at DU, anyway.

[Azathoth]

2. Congratulations to Hillary for winning a contest where her rivals were not allowed to compete n/t

[Exultant Democracy]

5. You mean they promised not to compete, just like she did (for what that was worth.)

[VotesForWomen]

25. she *didn't* compete. but she did win. nt

[Lucinda]

29. Good grief. They were all on the ballot. Florida has television. Obama ran ads.

[angie_love]

3. ...

I already congratulated her in other threads.

[NYCGirl]

4. Congratulations, Hillary!

P.S. The "victory party" thing is just creepy, but whatever gets you through the night, I guess.

[Pushed To The Left]

6. Congratulations to Hillary Clinton on her Florida victory

I hope Senator Obama gets the nomination and I am volunteering on his campaign out here in California, but I will proudly support whoever gets the nomination.

[Hoof Hearted]

10. Thanks for the genuine congratulations. I will work for whoever our nominee is too.

GDP can make it hard to remain civil, but the upside of that is that we are obviously all passionate. I think in the end that will prove to be much greater benefit.

[Beausoir]

11. That's one.

And nicely done, as well.

[GoldieAZ49]

16. As I am in AZ

action speaks louder than words...and wins elections

Thanks!

[Flatline]

39. Let Obama know that I love him being with

Anti Gay ministers and I hope he keeps up his ignorance....

[Nailzberg]

7. There have been posts as you described.

They fall off the board cause some of the more "enthusiastic" Hillary supporters are doing their virtual balloon drop in the GDP.

[Steely_Dan]

8. If I missed your comments...

sorry...Big board here.

=P

[chascarrillo]

9. Um, how hard has she been campaigning in Florida?

Don't you kinda have to work to be congratulated? Seriously, congratulating someone for winning a contest where no one competed is mighty disingenuous.

[Jai4WKC08]

12. Why?

Wouldn't you congratulate someone for winning a lottery? Or a sweepstakes? Or even, dare I say it, a beauty contest? As a matter of good will? Not every competition is a wrestling match.

That said, I don't really agree that no one competed. Most of the voters in FL followed the news enough to know what the candidates are about, as much as anyone does. After the retail politics of Iowa and NH, we forget that usually that's the only exposure most voters get anyway. Very very few will ever actually see any candidate in person.

[calmblueocean]

13. I do

I'm not proud of her trying to use states that were off-limits to campaigning (and thus more likely hers due to superior name recognition), but she is a force to be reckoned with, and tonight she won an unequivocal victory. So congratulations to her for that!

[GoldieAZ49]

14. for her showing yes I will

for a victory, no

that is reserved for real campaigning on a level playing field for ALL candidates

The DNC did not do the party any favors with Florida and Michigan

[Barack_America]

15. There were several threads regarding this when the polls closed.

They've been buried. I've offered my congratulations, I don't see the need to do so again.

[ProSense]

17. For what breaking the rules? Calvinball? n/t

[Catherine Vincent]

18. I saw a few of them earlier.

But then, Clinton won early. :)

[TankLV]

19. aparently not - classless just as expected...

[PretzelWarrior]

20. congrats, Hill. you showed them

how you can pander like only you and BIlly can do.

[cali]

21. i've posted multiple times congratulating Clinton and her supporters.

So have other Obama supporters. But here you go for the 10th time:

Congratulations to Senator Clinton and her supporters on her win tonight.

:hi:

[Beausoir]

22. So far, only 1. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

[FrenchieCat]

23. Congratulation Hillary on winning Zero Delegates in Florida!

Good show! You win the beauty contest via name recognition. It's a great day! :patriot:

[Occam Bandage]

24. Congratulations to Hillary for showing

that she can win a zero-delegate primary, so long as nobody is allowed to either get an up-close look at her or her opponents.

[AX10]

26. The Obambinistas are too blinded by ...

by his "aura". :puke:

[Beausoir]

27. Still at 1. Out of 100,000 members. Only 1 Obama supporter with some class.

[ErnestoG]

28. Congratulations, Hillary. How many delegates did you get?

[Lucinda]

30. And a big Kick and Rec from me.

:D

[adabfree]

31. congrats Hildabeast

[springhill]

32. Boy, I think the poster from another thread is right...........

The Obama supporters, on the whole, are just nasty names callers. Real classy.

[cooolandrew]

35. Dang yeah glad you noticed. Yup that's me classy. =)

[TheDonkey]

33. It was not even a "real" race. Clinton should be ashamed for her "victory" lap

it is disingenuous at best, complete fraud at face.

[avrdream]

36. You are telling over 850,000 Floridians that it wasn't a real race?

Has Barack gotten that many voters in any state to vote for him?

We should be fucking proud that the people spoke so loudly in Florida.

[cooolandrew]

34. Oh congratulations, didn't she do well. =)

[robbedvoter]

37. Bookmarked for the record

Along with the ungracious response to my congratulations for SC
