Come one guys! Don't be discouraged! South Carolina is coming up, and Obama had a 50% lead there!!! In Nevada he might get the Culinary Worker's endorsement! He is still popular across the country, and this loss might energize the anti-Hillary voters. Let us fight to win!!!

I'm not discouraged. This is going to be a trench-by-trench WW1 style battle.  The CWU endorsement will be a huge boost for Obama...

If anything all Obama supporters should be energized by this. We got caught by our guard down when we should have fought our hardest always, even if we had big odds for us.

Conventional wisdom is that a bitter primary lasting much beyond Super Tuesday is bad for a party's hopes in November.  I am not sure I buy that.  I would rather have Hillary vetting Obama and Obama vetting Hillary now...

I am sad that Edwards is clearly a gone goose.  But oh well.  I'm an Obama guy now.  And if Hillary should win the nomination, I will support her enthusiastically.

I'm still in it and still fighting on. Our odds are still better than they were 6 months ago. Plus now we got the people knowing they can't sit down and consider things inevitable. It's a real war now and it's time to fight.

99% of the nation hasn't voted yet. Obama can win.

I will support her but barely. One thing that is for sure I will not be pleased with her. Ever.

I can get enthusiastic about her real quick when I think of plutocrat Romney, theocrat Huckabee or Giuliani being the GOP nominee.  McCain?  Much as I hate his stance on the war and the way he went soft after being screwed by The Decider in 2004, I still love the guy.  Choosing between a man I respect whose views I think are wrong -- and a woman I don't respect, whose views I think are closer to being right -- that won't be easy.

But Hillary against the rest of the pack?  Slam dunk as far as my vote goes.

Well, I hope Bloomberg runs if she beats out Obama (which it looks like she will at this point).

If she wins, it depends on who wins the republican nomination AND whoever is up for election in the Independents.....if they all suck then i'll just have to hold my nose and vote for her.

If she wins, I'm just going to stop caring about politics.  Yay, apathy.

Hey remember, Nevada and South Carolina. Culinary workers' union and blacks.

And how exactly would Bloomberg serve the Middle Class and Poor, more than Clinton? I do like his programs in New York City, but I don't think they would work on a national scale. Remember Bloomberg was a Republican last year...

Just remember: Obama's chances now are certainly better than they were 6 months ago.

If Obama gets the union backing expect a showdown in Nevada. We can't let her win two in a row or else expect a clinton win in sc

I honestly think now...the Obama supporters are going to be overwhelmingly pissed around the nation...and come out to support him and have him win the nomination. Even the Edwards supporters [like myself] will start backing him..just to stop Clinton from being back in the white house.

Good to see spirits are still high. The Bradley Effect is going to be problematic for us in some of these states but we can still win this.
