I don't know about you, but I am enjoying the shit out of this. I like
both candidates and would hate to see either one lose the nomination. What I enjoy is a game well played, and both Hillary and Obama champions.

I know most here have a big emotional investment in one or the other candidate. I know how difficult it can be. I've been there, and after Denver I will be in the same boat as you.

So while I can enjoy the dance, I am really enjoying watching two masters at work.

1. The smears against Obama will hurt us in November...
...if he's the nominee.

4. These smears are nothing
compared to what the Repubs are going to slime them with. And they're going to smear them anyway.

6. Yes - and if the smears continue for another 7-8 weeks
We will be getting bruised and tired while our war mongering puke opponent rests on his Shrub kissing ass.

Damn, I was hoping for an Obama knock out tonight - but the fight goes on.

In the end, he will come off the ropes to win. But now, Obama is going to have to get more aggressive to fend off Hillary's Rove like - fear mongering advertising. He is gonna have to counter punch more aggressively.

But in the end - he will be our nominee :)

15. No - don't know where ya read that...
As an Obama fan - he needs to get more aggressive - he does not want to go negative -but since Hillary has, Obama is going to have to as well.

It will not get easier, but he will - IMO, still be the nominee.

17. I think Obama has become an even smarter campaigner, and Hillary has
shown that she will fight like a banshee. This campaign has sharpened our candidates skills, and helped them zero in on what is important.


Also the fight keeps them in the news. McCain will have to buy air time, ours will be free.

7. Even if he's not the nominee, it will turn off a lot of his supporters who may not show in Nov.

10. Threats? How nice. Good to know what kind of "Democrats" they are.
Yeah, if Obama isn't the candidate, the starfuckers will opt out. But that's not what YOU are, is it?

5. as an outsider, I am very much enjoying it too
Edited on Wed Mar-05-08 01:09 AM by Skittles
I have not been impressed with either one but they both impressed me tonight - Hillary with her big wins and Obama with his fiery determination during his speech. And seeing Texas have a say - *PRICELESS* ..... DEMOCRATS WON TONIGHT!!!!!!!

11. Same here, hah, it's like a game of chess. I've been avoiding these hateful forums, though.
It's amazing, and I find it sad that so many here are ignorant of the process.

12. I'm all for a brokered convention...
That's what a convention is supposed to be, not a coronation.
