I still think Obama is going to pull this out
Edited on Tue Jan-08-08 09:04 PM by ruggerson
but the rest of the country will now have a say in who our next President will be.

And we get to watch Tweety eat crow.

Right now, I find them both of equal importance.

4. I'll welcome a race, and other voices to chime in. And for Tweets
to eat crow. It is early.

5. "now the rest of the country will have a say"
That's the important part, at least for me. I would like to see a close race for a while so that more people feel like they were involved in the process. If more people feel involved, then perhaps our turnout will be good in November.

11. Oh for the love of God
She didn't cry. She choked up. Get a grip. It's a good thing - no way two states should decide it all.
:crazy:

12. Clinton is going to win NH.
Her getting emotional made up 10 points in the polls.

That's democracy, I guess.

Now she wins NV and the nomination.

14. How do you know that the 'emotional' bit is really what caused the bounce anyway? nt

8. Spot on!
On all counts.

I'm happy right now. If Hillary wins, I'll be thrilled. I'm also thrilled that it's not a total landslide against her.

17. Go here:

I would venture to say this is over. Obama will lose by more than 2 points, for sure.
