Thin skin Obama supporters. For weeks they had the field open and could not stop
gloating.

But Clinton wins two states, and they are all up in arm.

Look at your leader and take your cue.

Why can't you concentrate on your own instead of affirming your success by putting down your opponent? Don't you have enough material to be happy with your own? Are you so uncertain about him?

And remember: it is Democrats who have been voting for Clinton in most of the primaries and the caucuses. Were it not for Republicans and Independent - and how will they vote in November? - Clinton would have been our uncontested nominee long time ago.

That Obama supporters have a bad opinion about rank and file Democrats - perhaps the problem is with you, not with us.

1. Clinton has won all the real elections.
Obama is a fluke.

13. You mean like Florida and Michigan?
I'm neutral, but that statement is so dumb. The small states don't count? Colorado's not a "real election"? Iowa? SC? Not real? Don't tell that to the people who live there.

21. Yes, dear. I'm sure you can win an election
without the populous industrial states. The states where, you know, the people are. As opposed to the states where the grass is.

29. Which explains again why Obama is still ahead in delegates... not.
Besides, McCain's gonna win California? New Jersey? It is to laugh.

Keep on looking down on people from states that don't meet the Penn "relevance" requirement. That'll pay off :sarcasm:

4. No, the problem is the WAY Hillary wins. The end does not justify the means.

5. Nothing like self-divide & conquer.
No wonder I don't spend any time here anymore. It's just as bad as FreakRepublic.

9. I'm not dismissing what she has won - the problem is that she's still far behind, with no
chance of winning and by insisting on staying in she's only hurting the Democratic party, both in November and in the long run. And she fully knows this - but she continues on anyway. How is that not something to be bothered by?

20. That's your opinion. She is the candidate and it is up to her to stay
as long as there are delegates to win.

I am sure that had the sides been reversed, all the Obama supporters would have told him to stay in the race to the end.

Obama has been gracious in congratulating both Clinton and McCain. And while I do not expect Obama supporters here to do the same, they should at least shut up.

27. No, it's not my opinion.
Edited on Wed Mar-05-08 12:09 AM by AZBlue
It's factual, it's reality-based, it's real. Look at the numbers - it's cold-hard facts.

As for not congratulating people/telling others to "shut up," I see you've surpassed your candidate in rudeness. How charming.

Obama Has Won More Blue States
No, it's the constant distortions like Clinton winning more blue states and more Democrats when the truth is, Obama has.

23. The DEMOCRAT will win in November.
I will vote for the Democrat. Because I believe in democracy. And I want our choices on the Supreme Court. What about you, duckie?

28. If Hillary steals the election
I won't vote for her. I've already decided that. It's already going to be the sickest vote I've ever made. I am going to have to step back and reconsider my views about Democrats after this election too. Obviously quite a number don't have any more moral values than Republicans, not even DUers.

11. Huh?
I'm sitting here listening to Obama speak, after having congratulated her. Of course, in past primaries, she congratulated him --hummmm, how many times? Zero, did you say?

She's really good at ignoring his victories. And wallowing in her own.

She's a bit of a pig, imo.

25. The more I see her face ,
and hear her voice, the more I dislike her. I used to love she and Bill. I've lost all respect for them, and their hunger for power, and Dem. Party be damned !!

12. What about your faith and hope for the future?
We need more faith that Obama will succeed and more hope that change will occur in the future.

14. Just the same as thin skinned Hillary supporters. There are those types on both sides
just depends on who's winning.

Watch now as the tone shifts.

15. Gee. When I see the TX and OH hinterlands, I think Democratic Stronghold.
All the people who said that there was no way Obama could deliver some of the red-states that he won should be able to realize that HRC isn't going to take Texas in the GE and Ohio is iffy too.

16. Not good.
I have to say this is the bloodiest I've seen DU. And I agree with other posters that the Clinton-Obama feud has devastated the chances of a Dem. president this November, regardless of the nominee. Unpopular war, unpopular president (19%????), very shaky economy, high gas prices--this should have been a "gimme" to the Dems. Now I can see this being VERY close or a Rep. winning, especially with a moderate like McCain siphoning away independents...

17. I don't have a bad opinion about ANY Democrat...
But her attitude...and her sinking to new lows...doesn't help her in my eyes. And the point is...EVERY state counts! Any other view is a recipe for another November loss. And I want to make sure we have someone who can help us WIN in November. And to me, right now, it's doubtful she can. But Obama can. And he will!:D

B-)
