We are so fucked!!!

[1corona4u]

The most QUALIFIED person, can't even get ONE fucking %!!!!!!

[Eurobabe]

1. I'm with you, this is SAD, why oh why

does Iowa get to go first?? It's like a game gone bad at a state fair!!

[gateley]

6. How could all the buzz be SO WRONG?

[Eurobabe]

11. because it's just that buzz, Iowa is hard to predict

because if the candidate is not viable you don't know what people will do in the heat of the moment, jumping to another candidate. :shrug:

[1corona4u]

12. because his supporters CAVED IN

[NCarolinawoman]

17. It's the stupid media that makes this sooooo important.

Iowa use to be just one of the beginner states---that is all. But the media has exaggerated all of this. Made it the first race of the triple crown. My state means NOTHING to them! Remember the idiot 2004 election? That's when it all started.

Stupid front-loading.

STUPID STUPID media.

:mad: :puke: :nuke: :grr:

[gateley]

2. I mean this in all sincerity

I'm going to be DEEPLY depressed. I'm absolutely heartbroken.

[1corona4u]

4. I'm already bawling...

the FUCKING media did this!!!!! No one in the 2nd tier, other than Richardson is getting anything, and that's because HE's governor!!!

[gateley]

3. I find myself HATING all those people who seem to be so happy. nt

[1corona4u]

8. I'm not going to GDP, ever

those fucking assholes, and you know who they are, will have a field day with all of us!!

[mrigirl]

28. I'm done w/ DU if Biden's out. Fucking place!

[livvy]

5. I just cannot believe this.

What the fuck is wrong with people? The only candidate with both feet planted in reality.

[BenV]

7. It was fun while it lasted

Question is, who do we support now? :(

[1corona4u]

10. I support NO ONE.

I changed to dem to support Joe, and I am not obligated to vote for anyone.

[gateley]

15. I'm really at a loss. I have serious concerns about each of them. At this

point, I'm just going to mourn Joe.

[NCarolinawoman]

20. Gately, I will be in touch with you. We live near each other.

I will send you an e-mail over the week-end after I get my thoughts together. Sort of shell-shocked now.

[gateley]

29. Me, too -- I look forward to hearing from you.

[JerseygirlCT]

9. You know, it's awfully stupid to allow one weird caucus in one

small state to determine whether you stay in or not.

I sure hope he doesn't, and keeps going. I do think his qualifications are superior. I would like to see him overtake Richardson in 4th. That would probably get him *some* press.

[gateley]

13. He's said if he doesn't come in a CLOSE fourth, he's gone. Also, unless

he comes in 4th, he can't participate in the NH debate, so...

Even though Richardson is 4th, he's WAY behind The Three.

[JerseygirlCT]

19. What a disappointment that would be!

I'm not opposed necessarily to the others (ok, not so keen on Clinton, but if she gets the nod, she's my candidate), but man! There you are, in the 2nd tier -- all that experience and smarts... What a waste!

And I STILL don't get why a small state with no real representative sampling of the US has this much power to make or break candidates.

Damn! I want to actually be able to vote in Feb. and have it mean something!

[jillan]

14. i'm speechless.

[1corona4u]

16. Obama just took the lead

[jillan]

18. I am probably going to Obama. Because he sucks the least.

Picking the best of the worst.

[gateley]

23. I have SERIOUS concerns about him, too -- I can't even think about it yet.

My primary isn't until May and it'll probably be decided by then, so I doubt I'll even pay attention between now and then.

[frogcycle]

32. I wish I could trust him

he seems to be to be a complete opportunist on an ego trip

[nyc 4 Biden]

21. this just shows that...

Joe being peoples 2nd choice doesn't mean a damn thing unless their first choice wasn't viable. Nobody is leaving a top tier candidate to help joe when they have the other top two to contend with.

Fuck, did i have blinders on and only saw what i wanted to see. How could I expect americans to see past the msm hype machine.

God bless you all, the only people who understand what I'm feeling right now.

[jillan]

22. How could I have been so blind?

[Eurobabe]

26. come have a hug or a beer

:hug:

[1corona4u]

27. Maybe we're not the blind ones...

[mrigirl]

30. No, we're the ones who see through the b.s. and get it. No one else does.

[gateley]

31. WE aren't the ones who were blind. WE were the ones really listening

and paying attention. And the little snips of good coverage Joe got reinforced our beliefs -- it's just that nobody else was paying attention.

It's the money and the media.

[1corona4u]

24. It's so disturbing.

I am at a loss. We all are. The country will be as well.

[Eurobabe]

25. It's okay, I had blinders on last time with Clark

Yet I supported Biden, despite his not being in the MSM's "top tier" - I go with my gut. :hug:
