4. I've never posted to this group before
heck, can't say I post much at all the past couple years, but I was a Biden supporter and am very depressed that he did so poorly. Brings tears to my eyes.

17. Thank you. In 2004 I was a Wes Clark supporter.
There was a small part of me that wanted to protect myself from going through that horrible sense of loss that I experienced back then when Wes dropped out. In the back of my mind I always felt a cautionary note. Even so, this hurts.

26. me too! (Clark supporter)
Edited on Thu Jan-03-08 09:56 PM by Qanisqineq
I was a lot more involved in 2004 but I lived in the US then, too. Right now I live in Korea (hubby is military) and feel really separated from everything. This still hurts though.

(edited to take out a "then" or two.)

"signature lines are currently turned off due to high traffic."

15. I'm here. I don't feel this is over until the convention when the nominee speaks.
And I expect that nominee to be Joseph Biden. Call me delusional. Call me a fool. But even the wise cannot see all ends.

21. I am a Kerry supporter and I have no horse in this race, but I was hoping that one of the underdogs
was going to be able to overcome the media and the money. I am truly sorry Biden did not do well. I would have felt comfortable supporting him over any of the front runners.

25. Thank you, Wisteria.
After Wes dropped out in 2004, I mourned but really started liking John Kerry. Wes really thought a lot of him and told us as much. This time I don't see anyone on the horizon.

37. I have to agree. Change appears to be the ideal right now for a candidate,
but at what risk? Both of the winners tonight are very inexperienced in many ways. Change is a nice word, but it has to have real ideas and momentum behind it.

38. I was a Kerry supporter..........
Think I'll sit on the side lines next time and just take who "they" give me. This horrible pain two elections in a row is way too much.

24. I just hopped off the fence for Biden a few days ago....
but I'm here....and very, very disappointed.

(And even more so that Richardson is ahead of Joe.)

Does anyone think there is any chance he will stay in the race?

27. That's what I'm wondering
As always, the problem is money, plus ABC probably won't let him be part of the debate on Sat.

28. I don't know...
I'm sure they're looking at the numbers in NH. He has/had 10% in SC....who knows...but he has $866,000...so maybe.

Following as much as I can on my blackberry. I'm depressed. First the mets and now this. I know this is much worse though. But they both suck.

34. Maybe if he was closer to The Three, but my gut feeling is that he'll call it
quits. After all this effort and energy and this is all he gets -- ;shrug:

I' thinking he's probably just as incredulous as we are -- if not more so.

39. Pirahna: You did a good job for Sen. Biden.
Keep your head up high woman, you represented Sen. Biden and what he stood for very, very well. It was a pleasure to talk with you over this past year on the triumphs and misses in the Senate.

And Sen. Biden is not done, he is just refocusing his efforts. He is a good man and a brilliant thinker on the Middle East. Our country still needs Joe Biden. And I know he will be there because of that.

Bless him and his family and all you wonderful supporters. And woman, let's not be strangers over the course of this year. We have a lot to fight for, together.
