No more classless post saying "ha. ha." or "na na na na hey hey hey... goodbye". Those are just lame. We must unite and focus on Grampy McSame.

14. It would be easier if there were more gracious losers
There are punches coming from both sides. There are a lot of O supporters who gloat or congratulate based on the delusion of the OP. :)

28. We have lost and it is time
I have supported Hillary from the start and is the only candidate I have ever donated $ to. I really thought that she would be the better candidate (after Biden and Richardson dropped out)becasue she is a hard ass and would take on problems with more tenacity, but the majority of democrats disagree with me. Barack is a good man.

Hillary needs to focus on her senate career now and help Obama change the direction of this country

Hillary, for the good of the party, needs to stay in for two weeks so that the good people of ORegon can push Obama over the top.

You have some fellow travelers who are bone fide assholes posting here tonight, too. You may want to try to sit on them or the Clintonians can justifiably stay pissed.

Those of us on neither side are used to being outcasts.

27. Agreed. And the juvenile playground crap around here needs to stop RIGHT NOW.
This isn't a football game.

We're talking about the future of the lives (and deaths) of millions of people; about more wars or not, about a supreme court packed with corporatists for another generation or a swing back to reason, about losing the middle class and ushering in a new Edwardian Era, about keeping America from becoming a totalitarian society owned by a few uber-wealthy families.

29. Did you hear what the other candidate started her speech with?
Edited on Tue May-06-08 09:50 PM by high density
Every one of her victory speeches starts out with some sort of snarky "fuck you" comment.

I know it may take some time for them to put aside some of the hard feelings that have been created, but I'm hopeful they'll see what's at stake and stand with us.

47. I'm on board with you.
Actually, I'm still a bit in shock over what's taken place this evening so I'm even more mellow than usual.

Honestly, I feel for Hillary tonight. She's worked her ass off in Indiana and this has to be extremely difficult for her. I feel the same for her supporters who've been working their fingers to the bone canvassing, phone banking, etc. I've been in their shoes too many times before to not have empathy for what they're feeling.

Civility is what we need right now and this message coming from with your unbridled panache(kidding) makes it that much more effective. (not kidding)

When it comes times to womping McSame we'll see a different side to Obama.



"Here's looking at you kid"

To the future.
