1. Chad's been sober for over two months! Get off his case!

6. Yeah, I'll believe that when he gets the rubber out of his legs and stops falling...

2. It counts ZERO which is what the Clinton campaign is celebrating tonight.

3. She's celebrating the fact that over 850 thousand people went
to the polls to vote for her knowing it didn't count. I appreciated her thank-you.

4. Well, get back to us when it's a democratic election.
Ya, know where all the candidates are actually on the ballot; in Michigan Hillary wants to claim "victory" on a ballet that didn't have all the names of the candidates. In Florida as was her wide national lead initially, it's all name recognition.

Like I said, get back to us when an actual democratic election is held where all the candidates participate and all actually campaign for the vote. That is the true measure of support.

5. I'd be curious how many of the 850K
even knew that the Dems are supposedly not going to be seated. I bet A LOT didn't - I live here in FL and I found out through DU originally - and I have friends here who had NO IDEA until I told them - I wouldn't be surprised if a large % didn't even know.

7. Obama is extremely well known down here. I'm not going to fall
for that one. He got, what, over 400,000 votes? I'm not looking at the totals at the moment. I've admitted that Obama would have had more votes if he had campaigned door to door. But Hillary would have been down here too. Oh, and all the people at this gathering knew about the lost delegates, because we were all screaming DELEGATES! Not everyone in Florida is unaware of what's going on politically.

Heh I went to see a historical person, whether she wins or not. And I'll tell ya all right now, I wouldn't be cutting down Obama if he had won a big blowout like I didn't do when he won a really big one in S.C. I was happy for him. Seems like that feeling can't be reciprocated by many here.

The talk I'm hearing or reading on this board is reminding me of Freeperville. Same type of snide cut-downs.

True colors are coming out.
