Are DUers crazy? These are only two states
It was too early last week to declare Obama the next President and too early to declare Clinton.

Millions more are expected to vote on Feb. 5th and the fact that we do not have a clear front runner will keep them motivated to go out and vote.

I did not want Clinton (and Romney) to win Iowa because this would have cemented their front runner status.

So now that NH and IA are giving two different winners means that the race is still wide open. I know that both Edwards and Richardson are counting on Nevada on Jan. 19.

So let's cheer for a true democracy where many voters have a chance to voice their preferences.

How I wish that Dodd and Biden stuck around. Is it too late for them?

And for 2012, let's have rotating primaries distanced a month apart.

3. I know, but we Democrats are so desperate after having years of fascists in the WH
We're over-excited, delighted, out there, involved, and happy that this is an election year!!

4. I know, this is what makes me crazy about this
It's beyond insane to even think that these two small states can determine our candidates and thus, president.


:wtf:

9. Not crazy, inexperienced. Seriously.
So many of the Obama supporters are people who were in jr. high during the last general election. They have no idea that it's a PROCESS.. they think it's the whole thing this week and it's done.

Yeah.. okay.. you guys in iowa and new hampshire, you pick us a nice nominee, okay? We'll just get back to our knitting.

13. And this is how Edwards described his intention to stay on
Sorry, Chris Matthews, your death verdict for Edwards is far from over.
