Obama is the BIG WINNER tonight. Clinton was supposed to SWEEP him.
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 12:09 AM by lynyrd_skynyrd
There is no question about it anymore. Remember when Clinton was the obvious front runner? Remember when her nomination was "locked"?

Looks like Obama, if he doesn't win more delegates, is going to come damn close.

I think it might be over for Hillary Clinton. Obama has the momentum.


ON EDIT
Here is a chart from last year:


Ignore the facts at your own peril.

2. I'm getting dizzy.
Quit Spinning.
You can tell from Obama's speech he is devastated.

13. LOL! quit spinning. You and the OP should get a room
so you can do it together. He is so not devasted tonight. Why on earth would he be? Even if he loses CA by 20 points he'll exit the night on par with Hilly.

a 20 point loss.

28. no, dumpling
I've long predicted that she'd win in CA. And I posted two threads earlier today saying just that. Just because you're a mindless little bot, doesn't mean others of us can't analyze things with a degree of acuity.

3. At best, at absolute best, she MAY have a slight lead.
Obama has closed the gap and I think the nest Primaries will be moving towards him.

4. Huh?
Everything I heard said Obama had the momentum. Looks like a pretty even split tonight. This thing ain't over by a longshot and it isn't going to end anytime soon.

7. Oh, stop yer spinning...this thing is as close as can be
Maybe Hillary won tonight by holding off the Obama surge.

That's about all that can be said.

There is no BIG winner tonight.

20. I know! Isn't it adorable when they do that?
It's like they think they can actually change reality if they just say things loudly enough and often enough.

"The grass is PURPLE! It really is looking so very violet! Look at it! Everyone said the grass was going to come up green, but if you squint REEEEAAALLLY hard you can see the first streaks of its PURPLENESS! It's so OBVIOUS to anyone with half a BRAIN that purple is the color of CHANGE! HOPE! GOBARNEY!"

Do you people have short term memories or what?

CLINTON WAS THE LEADER FROM THE VERY BEGINNING BY A HUGE MARGIN. Now she's struggling to tie.

Who here is living in fantasy land?

29. Do you disagree with facts?
Was Clinton not the front runner by a wide margin for months when the primary season began?

And now she's barely keeping her head above water.

That isn't "barely keeping her head above water", no matter how desperately you try to spin it otherwise.

And Hillary has a huge lead in California? Am I still doing mushrooms or is my eye just not seeing truth?

25. Why do you people not get the point?
Clinton was ahead of Obama by 20% last year. Now it's a dead heat.

I know facts are hard to swallow, but tough!

30. You people
First, I posted a thread here tonight that in spite of the Obamabots best attempts, this was going to go down to the Convention, and since Senators and Congressmen are SUPER DELEGATES, you might as well get used to a Hillary/Obama ticket in November to fend off Gramps.

26. Oh for crying out loud, I'm not a supporter of either, but this spin is silly
Obama was supposed to be "surging." This is hardly a big win for him.

40. The next staes down the road are strong states for Obama. After the way he cut Hillary in states
where she had built enormous leads in this last goround - wow - the movement is building for him.

Today WAS Hillary's strongpoint - now she's disadvantaged in the next round of states AND in dollars.

Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 12:33 AM by RiverStone
He is the one that surprised everybody!
He won 13 states!

Hillary is no longer the presumptive nominee!

And in the next 2 months - Obama could very well go over the top!
