Read their reactions to tonight's loss. Are these real Democrats or what?

3. I think we always knew from the tenor here that's how it would be. They're not
the kind of dems we need for a coalition. They'd tear down Obama and they'll not work with a coalition.

10. But, but, I thought you said he was a uniter, not a divider?

19. He is a uniter, those that want to work together and accomplish what
cannot get done with a 49 or 51% win.

But he cannot force people to be team players...that is their choice not his.

He has the ability to win the GE with a 65% margin, that means 35% will choose not to vote for him.

Those %'s were from the guy that helped put Bill in the WH in 92, that endorsed Obama last week.

22. Talking specifically about the disruptors on this board who slander Obama like
Freepers do. That's all the OP was talking about, internet posters.

16. don't kid yourself
You are going to need every vote....and every dem pounding the pavement...

Everyone all thought that 2004 was in the bag too...people had finally seen the light about Bush...then we were all taking "I'm sorry" pictures and sending them out to the world.

5. 2 words, and you know what i'm going to say....
"sour grapes"

you know they're not serious. it's an emotional time for the hillary camp and if she loses it's going to be a devastating loss.

if any of them want to come back to the obama camp, or stay with hill, all we have to do is ask them to watch mccain's speech that he delivered tonight. HORRIFYING

9. I think enough of us here on DU have been telling everyone what Hillary...
and her following are all about. Most have been shot down by the Hillarybots all along the way. I really don't know any Obama supporters that expect Hillary to bow out with any class what so ever.. Just not in the blood I guess.

The man is lost in the 40's.
