I thought she'd "rout" him but apparently not.

2. So now you want to see the Florida results...
because Obama didn't do "shabby"?
Anything for the cult you'll do.

28. Because it's the way the supporters act...
following along blindly...never seen this with any other presidential candidate, and I've seen plenty of them...

30. weird thing, a LOT of Hillary supporters are just like that too! Funny how you don't mention it

5. He got over 500,000 votes
I think he should be proud. I am. Earlier polls were saying she'd win by 25-30 points. Gobama!

29. No they weren't...
not the valid ones. Our state polls said 22%, +-4%, so they missed it in the margin of error by 1/2 pt. And it's been that way, since, forever.

11. He has done well here in a big Clinton state.
This has always been a Bill Clinton state for primaries. Democrats seldom win here but the Clintons are very strong.

A Democratic spokesperson on Bay News 9 tonight said it was expected that Hillary would win...that she "had a strong institutional advantage here."

And she does.

That is a good figure for Obama.

13. lol lol lol lol lol - seriously???
In Obama nation a 17% point loss is not too shabby? She's got almost 300K more votes than he does, and that's not a rout? Okay then. LOL!

17. sure
Thats really not a rout in a non-contested primary with half of the voters voting early and considering Hillary has a much higher name recognition. Not shabby at all. And Mags you seem to be abit hysterical, did you get those meds I suggested?

18. I am laughing hysterically, yes
No meds necessary for that. And yes, it is indeed a rout. Only a deaf dumb and blind person doesn't know who Obama is by now. And if you're right, he doesn't have a prayer on Tuesday.

But anyway, using your logic, if we lose Florida by 300 thousand voters in the general, it will be a close one, eh? God help us from the Obama delusions.

34. Are you really that petty?
It was 18% at the time of posting last night. The point remains, it was a rout.

27. For a guy who didn't campaign a single day vs the wife of a president who has had 16 years of media
coverage...I'd say he did pretty darn well. :)

droves. Plus, there are tons of retirees from New York and NJ in Florida and early voting. It's amazing Obama did as well as he did.
