1. Its over when she concedes. You have to finish the war on one front before you move on to the next
front.

6. YES! And lets hope that moment is far sooner then later...
Unity begins the moment we have ONE nominee --- Obama! :hi:

17. Are those 23 BUSINESS hours? Been there, done that. It's over when it's over.

Over means one of the contenders admits defeat publicly. Anything else is static.

5. Lotsa luck. I was just screamed at by an Obama supporter b/c I voted for Hillary Super Tuesday.
The poster insulted me, my husband and daughter b/c we voted for HRC super Tuesday in CT. Since then we have accepted the fact that Obama will win and have moved on. Poster suggested we were complicit in dark deeds, including racist attacks.

Ridiculous. We are all Democrats, down to our very sinews. NOTHING will keep us from voting for Obama in November. NOTHING. Anything else would be UNTHINKABLE.

What is the matter with some people? I just don't get it, and to tell you the truth I don't know anybody who thinks this way, even Obama supporters! They are generally a very nice bunch who don't hate us former Clinton supporters at all. We all like being Democrats together!

I must be missing something abroad in the land. Someone explain it to me, because here in CT we are just fine...

9. I don't know what that person's problem was, but I know you're a Dem from
long before this bullshit primary war.

NOTHING was decided on Super Tuesday. People voted for many candidates who are long gone now.
Ignore this fool. I'm glad you're with us. :hug:

14. Aw, thanks NC Nurse! You are a peach.
I guess I just didn't understand the attack. It was so odd, this person didn't know ANYTHING about me, my husband or my daughter but the fact that we all voted for HRC on Super Tuesday was enough for them to take off and accuse us of terrible things.

My fault for going into GDP in the first place. I should never have done it. Bad, bad karma for all...

10. Sorry that happened to you.
I was slowly pushed into Obama's camp, he and Hillary were always my last 2 choices, but I'll admit that even though I didn't even want Hillary to run, it's a little emotional for me that it's coming to an end for her.

I've encountered some nasty Hillary supporters as early as April '05, but I just hope that people will be calm and understand that people may be going through all sorts of emotions no matter who they support. Divisiveness isn't what's needed now as far as I'm concerned, and it will only harm the cause.

16. Thanks for your concern. I actually have not encountered any real antagonism
by Hillary supporters toward Obama, but it probably is because we are in New England, in particular New Haven and Boston, two of the most liberal bastions in the country. HRC folks and Obama folks are happy to coexist together. We even have some "mixed marriages" which don't have a bad effect on the relationships!

I guess that is not the case in the rest of the country. Makes me glad I live here, to tell you the truth...

8. Do Hillary-Haters think we're just going to forgiveand forget?
Now that Obama supporters have slimed, insulted, slandered and lied about my candidate in every possible way, they all of a sudden want to make nice?

Har de har har.

The only way I will EVER support Obama is if he makes a public apology to Hillary on behalf of his hateful, chgaracter-assassinating supporters.

And, knowing them, I sure don't expect that.
