1. Notice how all the usual Hillary shills have disappeared.
Probably crying in their beer.

3. I think that is understandable, it is disappointing to have your candidate lose...
they will come back, NH is soon.

12. Why do you love starting bullshit like that, Alexander, when so many of her supporters are here
and most of them giving their congrats to Obama.

Grow the fuck up instead of gloating over Hillary's loss like a ten year old.

I am celebrating Obama's victory tonight.

Tomorrow, I'll be back to pushing for Hillary in NH.

Well done -- but Hillary isn't going to back down.

9. After all the smugness put out by her camp, I think we deserve a little celebration.
I actually wanted Edwards to win, but frankly I'm just so happy her campaign is damaged.

The way her people tried to tell everybody to just shut up and nominate her already really made me angry.

Politics is rough.

15. Normally I wouldn't, but, like I said, her campaign just pissed me off royally.
Their "holier-than-thou, We Are The Annointed" attitude just grated on me to no end.

Thank Goodness Skinner will put a dead stop to the Hillary bashing since she will be our Democratic Presidential Candidate for the 08 election. DU is so infected with ignorant fucks to where I won't even tell anyone about this Board.

Lovely stuff from Camp Inevitability.

5. Guys, while I share your enthusiasm for her
showing tonight, it's only the first state and she is going to win New Hampshire....the 'machine' will get out and take care of their highly paid corporate candidate...you watch.

I just want someone who is going to be capable of taking on the 'big boys' and putting them in their place and letting us have ours back as in 'we the people' type thinking.

7. Obama Is Not Going To Win, Dear.
Be cocky now, but it's just not going to happen. Wait for the smear machine to start, and him to crumble. He's a horrible public speaker, and is non-existent in the National Polls.

10. If the results hold, this is the WORST POSSIBLE result for Hillary
1) Obama won big ( by 6-7 points)

2) Edwards fades, diminishing his credibility and viability....so many anti-hillary will go to Obama

3) Hillary is either third, or second by the skin of her teeth if she is lucky....a totally disappointing showing for someone who started out as the inevitable candidate, had all the organization, the big connections, her presidential husband, the works...and still could not win

Obama gets the big break going into nH. No debate about that. Edwards fades. Clinton fights with obscurity. All in all, a good night for Obama.

Now, let's all try to be sweet to the hillary supporters. We will need their help in the general election.

I hope she continues to lose and lose big. She's the worst thing that could ever happen to our party. I'm not going to shut up about it just because you're running around taking names.

Why are you being such a jerk? I DON'T HAVE TO LIKE YOUR CANDIDATE. And I went to school with Stephanie Miller - tell her I said hi. I bet she doesn't like your candidate either.

200,000 votes out of of 300,000,000 people (100,000,000 voters). Perspective is the key
word here. Iowa to the rear.

48. I'm not a Hillary supporter
and not a big fan of her. But this loss doesn't mean she is dead. Hey, Tom Harkin won Iowa caucus in 1992 with 76% and Bill had only 3%. There are many primaries to still to come... :-)

Congratulations to Obama for this victory and I hope the election is pretty tight around Super Tuesday since I want my vote to matter. :-)
