Hopelessness Wins !
Thanks Pennsylvania. There is no hope with Hillary Clinton. There is only more of the same. For a moment I allowed myself to dream that we could change the politics in Washington. How foolish of me.

I should have known better. Hillary and Bill know how to play the game in Washington. And to think that I criticized all those voters that voted for George W Bush the second time around. They have reincarnated themselves as Democrats.

But, hope is just another word. It means nothing. Thanks for strangling the dream in its crib. Raise the glass and toast yourself for a job well done. It is a good day for Hillary Clinton and her supporters. It is not a good day for America.

4. I thought you were going to talk about
my hope that PA would end this thing and we could get on with the election. I am starting to hate Hillary Clinton as much as I ever hated John Kerry for his ball-lessness in 2004. This is painful.

6. Wow easy there killer
We win today. This state was Hills last stronghold. She needed a blowout here and she didn't get it. Relax Penn is allowed to vote its heart just like everyone else. That was her last big win and it wasn't big enough to make a difference.

Hope is alive and well.

7. The machinery is not dead. Fast Eddie delivered. We already knew this would happen.
The mayors and local party leaders in Pennsylvania were mobilized early on and forcefully for Clinton. There was realy nothing Obama could have done except to soften the blow. It's like expecting Hillary to win North Carolina. She won't. But she'll try to keep it close (10 pts. or less).

8. It's not even a "good" day for Clinton. It's a delusional day.
This thing only allows Clinton and her supporters to continue on with the illusion.

9. Hey, hang on a minute.
I respectfully disagree.

PA had Hillary ahead by 20+ points and it was through the hard work of PA Obama supporters that he was able to narrow that lead substantially. I, for one, think that deserves some respect. The large number of republicans and independents who woke up to the bad decisions they had made and tried to rectify them by supporting Obama, instead of digging in and closing their eyes to reality also deserve some respect.

Please give PA a break, a lot of her people fought the good fight knowing that they would likely lose.

10. I am starting to agree with you, many dems are repubs and don't appear
to know it or do not wish for us to know it but we do,
who wants hope, they want more of the same, another nafta perhaps,
more jobs to go over seas, no education for any of us so we can not
take the jobs that are here either, more war, more lives lost, more
of the last 8 years is all we will get with Hillary, no hope, no dreams
of a better tomorrow, no world looking at us with different eyes, no principles,
etc.........
