Is it my imagination,
or were the Clinton Supporters much nicer on the Board when Hillary won NV and NH? I don't seem to remember too many "the Obama's deserved this" or "it was a route!" or similar threads.

:shrug:

1. No. Obama supporters are...a sample of what's to come.

3. There is a kind of tit for tat vengefulness tonight
Whatever - it's not like this was unexpected, but let's all be happy that Dems are fired up this year!

4. I was going to congratulate the Obama supporters tonight
Instead I just wrote an e-mail directly to Obama and congratulated him instead.

6. I congratulate them, of course.
a lot of people did a lot of work on-the-ground to ensure this win for Obama.

But ... wow! I could never be half as mean or gloating or whatever you want to call it. Just not in my nature.

On to Super Tuesday! :hi:

8. No it isn't.
They are clearly gloating and since we are all supposed to be Democrats, I find that sad more than anything else.

9. In New Hampshire, Diebold "fixed" it for her. In Nevada, we "intimidated" voters
Edited on Sat Jan-26-08 07:38 PM by goldcanyonaz
Does that cover it?

17. I would hope...
that all democrats would demand an audit of the vote. Nobody seems to care. Why is that?

25. We do, but to accuse someone of having a "fix" on the night of a win, was tasteless!

30. I disagree...
if polls are so out of whack and voting systems are so susceptible, why is it not reasonable to suspect tampering? I don't understand why people do not get the fact, that Anyone can swing an election. It does not have to be at the behest of one candidate or another. Our voting systems are totally insecure. Now that is tasteless. It's not like we haven't known about it for years.

10. Given the dozen of posts trying to cast Obama as the " black candidate" do not be surprised
Edited on Sat Jan-26-08 07:40 PM by Mass
And NO, I remember really mean posts of some Clinton supporters both last week and in NH. You must have been asleep then.

Also, Ignore does not work, so the most offensive Clinton supporters are visible today and it is not a pleasant view.

23. Obama negative posters are 5:1 over Hillary
So you may see negative Hillary posters, but don't be oblivious to the horrible rotten motherfuckers the Obama supporters are. Tonight just shows how awful they are for all to see.

14. I'm an Edwards supporter, and you're correct.
We know Obama won.

But the margin isn't known, and whose second and third isn't known.

And they're already picking out running mates, high fiving, and mocking the Clintons and her supporters. Rather High school-ish.

16. I think the Clinton supporters
Edited on Sat Jan-26-08 07:54 PM by bigwillq
are "nicer" than the Obama supporters.

Overall, I am talking about. There are some very nice Obama ones and some very nice Clinton ones and not so nice Obama ones and not so nice Clinton ones. But overall it seems, to me anyway, that the Clinton ones, for the most part, are "nicer".

18. It's your imagination
After each primary/caucus there have been nasty threads by either supporters of who won and those of who lost.

26. Oh baloney, the first thing I did was congratulate Senator Clinton and
her supporters on both occasions. And I would have done the same tonight had she won.

28. not you specifically, cali
I'm talking in general. It just seemed over-the-top tonight and I don't recall that with the Clinton supporters when she won. That's all I was saying.

29. lol - some people think everything is about them!
You are correct, it wasn't anything like this. Well, sometimes getting something isn't nearly as satisfying as wanting it - we'll see.

27. Its not your imagination because the head of the Clinton Supporters Union doesn't allow trolls in it
That's why they're much nicer. They're all Democrats.
