2. Seriously!
And I really can't stand Hill!

This whole "he inspires me" deal is scary as hell!

10. Hope springs eternal...
Not to be confused with faith... which will get you called a stupid creationist! I still haven't heard any details on all this hope he's talking about. Change is a nice catch phrase too, but hell, I can change a tire, change my mind, change my underwear, I need more details!

26. that's so absurd. I've written in detail why I support him.
I've posted about his background, his history in the Illinois Senate from 1997-2004. His record in the Senate, and his policies.

And I'm hardly the only Obama support here who's done just that.

Anyway, Edwards is done. And the unions will be peeling off like crazy. SEIU NV already endorsed Obama. I'll be glad to see him continue to fade, but what will his cultish followers do?
Return to supporting Dennis? Pout? Threaten to vote third party?

11. The inspiration is scaring me, too. It's contagious and empty.

24. I agree... and it's no better than...
Saying he's the kind of guy you'd like to have a beer with, imho.

3. I have more respect for her now
She took some dukes and kept on fighting. And I liked it when she "cried", it was humanizing. I am for Edwards, but where is he? Can he just not get the word out like this big money machinery?

5. I'm a Kucinich supporter
and I want ANYBODY to beat him tonight. It does not mean a thing yet but if it slows things down a little I will be happy.

7. I'm not rooting for either and I wish they would both keep their egos in check from here on out.
Fat chance, I know.

8. Hillary & Obama are the choices being presented to the American people
So the republicans stand a chance of actually winning. There is only one candidate who will whip republican ass in the GE, regardless of their noise machine, and he will actually represent 'We The People,' instead of Corporate America.

19. Me, too
It will show there is no "inevitable" candidate and that the news media doesn't know their a** from first base.

22. Excitement on our side, regardless of who it's generated by, is a GOOD thing
for us, come November 2008. Would you prefer a lethargic, uninterested public that doesn't even bother to vote?
