I thought just maybe they would break Edwards's way. I'm here to offer my congratulations to the Obama supporters.

3. I Was Getting That Drift With the Kucinich and Richardson Comments
Second choices are probably more influenced by press coverage than first choices.

4. It was interesting watching people move to their second choice
on the basis of viability. I saw someone talk about moving to Obama's camp because he was more viable. I thought viability meant having enough votes to gain delegates, and it was clear that Edwards and Clinton were both viable at that point.

6. Yes, they are.
I guess it's whatever is in their (voters) minds to justify their vote.

5. Congrats to Obama but I am still for Hillary.
Thank God this is the last time any candidate gets two bites at the apple.

7. That's surprising, given the polling. I guessed Edwards would win
because of that factor.
