Hillary gets votes but no crowds and no donations!!!
That is called "SOFT" support.

They will vote for her but nothing else. Will not go see her speak. Will not donate their money to her.

The Super Delegates know this and will move towards Obama.

They know where the excitement is!!! Barack Obama!

2. Soft support is the thousand upon thousands that go to
meet chicks at an Obama event that never vote.

when she was only getting a few hundred at her events.

23. Yes, and the record crowds in the 15 states & 2 territories that Obama beat her with 60%+ of the
vote?

11. Remeber the record crowds out for Obama in PA?
throngs of people gathered to hear him and only a few hundred showed for Hillary.

Hillary won PA.

22. She was expected to win BIG in PA.
But instead, she got somewhat LESS than 10%!

Edited on Tue May-20-08 11:34 PM by Carolina

27. That and the huge 45 minute concert by local band made good The Decemberists
"Obama was the biggest star at Sunday's gathering -- though a popular Portland band, The Decemberists, provided the warmup act. With blue skies and temperatures in the 80s, many in the crowd said Waterfront Park was simply the place to be."
http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/news/1211169310143230.xml&coll=7

Indie rock's #1 candidate crush Barack Obama is sittin' quite a bit prettier than he was a few weeks ago when the Arcade Fire and Bruce Springsteen went to bat for him, but the dashing junior Senator hasn't quite clinched the Democratic party nomination yet. Next up on the primary agenda are Oregon and Kentucky, whose voters hit the polls Tuesday, May 20. Should Obama win a heaping majority of the delegates up for grabs that day, he'll be within inches of securing the hotly-contested nom.

And look who's arrived to give Obama the extra push he needs to get on the ballot in November. Why, it's none other than those kings and queens of the month after, the Decemberists!

8. Dixiecrats and Operation Chaos voters just want to prolong this thing
They aren't really supporting her. She has some great supporters, to be sure, but a lot of her support is because she is not 1)black 2)the frontrunner.

12. She raised 22 million dollars last month- more than McCain raised
and he isn't competing with another person in the same pool. She's gotten nearly as many votes. And though she doesn't draw huge crowds, it's simply not true that she attracts only soft support.

15. Not true about the donations!
I donated to her tonight in sisterly solidarity. I wanted to donate to her historic candidacy before it was over. Bought a sign & a t-shirt, too, just for the mementos.

I will donate to Obama too, of course. But I think he's got enough for the primaries, so I want to save up to donate for the general. It's just... :wistful sigh: I couldn't let this moment pass without participating.

24. Hillary is receiving a thank you vote. No one believes she is going to be the nominee.
You put your money where your votes go if you're serious. Hillary is in the hole.

25. HRC's voting base is broke, uneducated, underemployed and yes, bitter
They vote for her even though she and her husband are directly responsible for so many of their jobs going away. If you were educated or actually knew facts, they would be the LAST people you would vote for.

It's like putting your favorite food in a broken refrigerator and wondering why the food rots. Some people think it's the food that's the problem.

Are they going to get her out of her debt hole? God, I hope not. They are barely getting by as it is.

26. You are spewing more shit than a latrine.
Your comments are so ridiculous as to be laughable. Do you realize that she got almost half of the vote of the Democratic party? Bitter????

Just too precious..........
