I have been following Obama since the 2004 speech
I am not engaging in any bashing, but I will say I am proud of Obama and his campaign- full steam ahead! I know Hillary is still the heavy, heavy favorite and Obama has about a 1% chance of getting the nom, but I will fight for him here in West-Central Wisconsin to the bitter end. Obama people, let's remember to take this small victory in stride, there hopefully will be at least a couple more. Just remember that we are the underdog, and enjoy each tiny victory, each tiny step towards the possibility of our candidate maybe someday being the President of the United States. Good luck to the candidates the rest of the way.

4. Obama has won 3 states and tied a 4th
Don't believe the propaganda. Obama is doing fantastic and if we all work hard, there is an excellent chance he will continue to win the majority of delegates. We Are Electing Delegates.

5. What a downer of a post!
I understand not wanting to get your hopes up, but this is ridiculous. A 1% chance? And your are a supporter? How eerie!

7. You are being pessmistic
I would put Hillary's odds of winning at 60%, Obama at 30%, and Edwards at 10%. Obama is very much in contention to win. Take solace in the Colorado poll out today. It had him only two points behind and he should take the lead because of a post-SC bounce.

12. A Super Tuesday split would be a vitory for Obama
This race is going far and I see Obama as having more than 1% chance. Clinton is the favorite to get the nod but Obama's chances are high enough to get the Clintons nervous enough not to halt any attacks.
