Thank you for a spirited campaign. You did well but not well enough. Time to bow out and ENDORSE OBAMA.

Let's RALLY AROUND OUR CANDIDATE!!

:bounce:

OBAMA IN '08!!!

9. Hold your horses you might want to wait until real numbers come in. If exit polls show a 4 pt lead
then I will believe that Clinton wins by 10.

11. You're right, the OP is jumping the gun
I'm an Obama supporter, but let's pull ourselves together people.

Hillary is not conceding if she wins even by 1 vote.

Sad thing is...
When she does a speech tonight, she will be laughing, smiling, waving, acting like she won by 20+ points and will STILL say she is going all the way to the convention. And the news banners will be saying "HRC wins PA!!!!!!!!!" And she will throw in a 'we were outspent but PA residents still voted for me"


We can only hope the SD get an early start tomorrow morning and start announcing they support Obama.

18. Wrong and wronger! Philly will report early, giving Barry the edge, the
rural areas will come in late, where Hilary is running strong...hence they don't have any type of picture of how the state voted because of this.

And Hillary lost the delegate count.

26. When they said "too close to call", they were not talking about the caucus
They said that on primary night. They were not referring to delegates, but to votes.

Clinton didn't win the primary by much.

38. The stupid media told her she won Texas
Knowing full well that the caucus system favored Obama. We played by the rules in Texas, worked our ground game and won Texas in the number of delegates allocated. We'll seal the deal at our June 6th-7th convention.

Obama won Texas - and he won it fair and square!

GOBAMA!

Sonia

All those dollars came from the hope and enthusiasm of millions of people.

She is with in striking distance.

Just some food for thought for you, the same can be said to Obama. Be careful what you wish for.
