Obama supporters! - A positive place to talk about his campaign

[DawnCt1]

And I'm sorry you have to vote for McCain. We know how much you conservative voters "love" him. At least we actually are passionate about our candidates.

We will see which 50% of you are passionate about your candidates. I some irony that Republicans may get to 'choose' your candidate.

Ugh, I wonder how much the weather had to do with Ohio's race? By 3:00 yesterday afternoon, we had freezing rain and snow. By 5:00, there was an inch of ice on everything. Many cities were asking people to stay off of the roads unless necessary. I wonder how many people were going to vote after work, saw the weather and said 'screw it.' Luckily DH and I got up early and voted in the morning.

Hey Teresa I have you on ignore but if you hadn't noticed, this is an Obama supporters thread.


The latest delegate count for the whole night is Clinton 185 Obama 184 (votes are still being counted so these could change either way). Clinton can spin this for a couple of days but then reality sets in.

Yeah well she can make a lunch date with Al Gore and he can talk her through the grief.

I see that in Hillary's speech she referenced Florida and Michigan - the states she won handily since Obama's name wasn't even on the ballot.

I've said before that whomever gets the Dem nomination, I'll support them but I swear: if HC tries to get the Florida and Michigan results included I will lose all respect for her.

I believe Obama's name was on the Florida ballot-as was Edwards. I'm pretty sure that's what my parents told me-but perhaps a Floridian can confirm.

I LOVE the fact that the Democratic party has TWO such great candidates. I have said all along and I'm still saying that I will happily vote FOR either of them-I won't be voting against McCain.

I don't really care if Hillary wins per se, as I'm not voting for her. I'm Republican. I just think she will be much harder to beat than Obama come November. He doesn't have a leg to stand on. So what, he has the younger vote. They don't work or pay taxes for the most part. Yea, I want them deciding who runs the country. Obama will never win some of the states he's won when it comes to the national election, so therefore, it is in the Republican party's best interest that he win the Democratic candidacy for President. I'm just saying the Democratic party's way of electing is NOT democratic, it's underhanded AND old politics, everything Obama proposes that he's not.

Umm...did Obama invent this system? Why are you blaming him? And since you aren't a Democrat, why do you care how our party chooses our nominee?

Wow, just wow!

Too bad you dont know some of my younger friends who not only work and pay taxes, but are very excited to see some change on the political horizon, and for once in their life are actually excited to vote!

Not likely. The Republicans didn't really turn out in Texas to vote for Democrats, according to the exit polls. I doubt the majority of them really care which one wins.

But I didn't see nearly as many of the Republicans coming out in the primaries and caucuses as the Democrats. They're just not very fired up for their guys. A lot of old white men, more of the same I suppose.

 

[NewJersey]

Agh! Teresa was quoted so I could see her usual nonsense dribble.

Shhhhh us younger voters are just stupid, uninformed voters who don't pay taxes or work. I have to go lay on the couch some more and drink the Kool-aid.

You are correct. After Googling I found that it was Michigan where Edwards and Obama withdrew their names. However, Clinton did violate the DNC sanctions and campaigned in Florida.

I wonder why you think Obama will be easier to beat? The polls say otherwise. I don't think you really know what you're talking about. Neither Obama nor Clinton have a say in this process.

Wow all you want. I have three kids between the ages of 22 and 28, and believe me, they don't have a clue yet. They are going with the flow. They are YOUNG. Please, tell me what iis the change they are excited about? The change that Obama got his VERY expensive house and the lot next door for MUCH less money than you or I would have paid for it? The change that the majority of the delegates Obama got are from BLACK voters. Yea, that's change. Please. Open your eyes. I have worked my butt off for the last 30 years and I am sick and tired of paying for people sitting on their butts. Obama cannot bring the parties together because I and alot of conservatives will NEVER agree with what he is proposing. Sorry. He is not for change, to me he stands for me shedding my blood, sweat and tears to get ahead, and then dividing it up with everyone else so we can all be equal, and we can all share, and blah blah blah. Let me go pick some flowers and put them in my hair and dance through the fields holding hands and singing with everyone. I'm so excited, not, but I can see where late teens and twenty somethings would be, BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T SHED THEIR BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS, many of them are still living home with mom and dad.

Laura, if you think your insults and your rolly laughing smiley is going to make me feel bad or hurt my feelings, you are wrong. All I have to say is time will tell.

 

[Laura]

Ick. I can see why New Jersey has you on ignore.

What in the hell is your problem with black voters? They are allowed to vote nowadays, perhaps you didn't get the memo.

And I'm sorry your three children are irresponsible slackers. They don't represent their entire generation. For a 28 year old to "not have a clue" yet is a pretty sad commentary on his upbringing.

But given the astonishing ignorance you show in your posts, I'm not surprised.

Perhaps someone's in the running for Ms. Congeniality for the Republican Party?

This just gets better! Sorry about your children, but there are a lot of people between the ages of 22 and 28 who are well informed. And last time I checked, blacks were allowed to vote and give a candidate delegates. They are citizens too right? And FYI, I doubt you are the only one on either side of the aisle who has worked their but off for the past 30 years. I for one have been working and paying taxes for well over 35 years!

I don't have a problem with black voters. I have a problem with racism, meaning the huge numbers voting for Obama strictly because he is black, and I have a problem with young voters voting for someone because it's cool, or "because we want change, change, yea change". Oh and by the way, sticks and stones, you know??

Seeing as you've insulted the entire black population of this country and all of the 20 year olds, sticks and stones indeed.

It's working so well for her.
