Please don't jinx it until we get real returns.

20. That's The Problem...
..letting your passion over-ride your reason...Like many Obama supporters. A call for Hillary to give up at this point is immature at best.

Anyway...I'm still so pissed about the Biden thing that I'm afraid that I would be a downer to everyone.

7. I hate posts like yours
first of all the polls haven't closed yet, and no one has won or lost a thing. Secondly, your post is utterly devoid of consideration and any grace whatsoever. There are people here who have put a lot of time and energy and devotion into her campaign. And you're gloating in a really ugly way. Imagine for one second if YOU were supporting her or if Obama is the one who gets blown out tonight.

12. Thanks, Cali.
I hope Hillary at least pulls respectable numbers.

I don't see how early polls can really count when 27% of people in Wisconsin made up their minds in the last week.

23. You're welcome, and I won't be a bit surprised if she does well
she's been sounding great, and exit polls are generally worthless.

19. Thanks cali. It is absolutely refreshing to see someone say this.
I wouldn't allow my children to act this way. I wouldn't tolerate it from anyone.

22. No problem.
The ugly gloating from some of the Obama supporters here is a real disappointment. It makes me half wish to see Clinton pull out a win. It's awful to see this kind of stuff.

25. The GOP is voting for Obama & Obamanites are stupid if they think they will vote for him in Nov.
You can dance all you want, but you will need to put some vodka in your kool-aid in November! Because Obama is going to be swiftboated to kingdom come...

Wait until the polls close and the actual returns come in, for god's sake.

27. She was never ahead on pledged delegates, he won Iowa and always kept a lead
at least 6 of her super delegates have already left her. She had the illusion of a lead for a while. But that is just more misdirection.

34. Ya'll fell in love all right. What happens when you find out
that your love can't work for a living? Huh? That you can't stand his friends? Huh? That he just isn't what you thought he was and you were shocked when the first bloom of infatuation rubbed off? Huh? That he really was Erkell with a good tailor? Huh?

Most important, that because of your infatuation, our country is falling down a well, and it's too late to pull it back up? Huh?

47. Don't you get it..
... most people have decided that THE UNKNOWN is better than the known bad.

HRC should have at least acted like she was going to end the Iraq war. As soon as it became clear she was wishy-washy about it, many of her base threw in the towel on her.

She either AIPACed or triangulated herself out of relevance. I have no sympathy for her whatsoever, this election was HERS until she blew it.

No gloating, please.

43. Sure....
After being called a "FREEPER" and voting for the "CHILDREN'S" candidate, I'll gloat my living ass off if Obama wins.

Those comments were made, and a good search will show ya. Check it out.

It's really pitiful to see what's happening at DU...
