What will this place be like the day Hillary resigns??????

Will there be some gloating?

Will there be some old bookmarked posts bumped just to say "I told you so"?

Will there be the Hillary fans posting "I won't vote for him"?

It will be an interesting day. I am sure people will burn through their 3 posts in record time.

I for one CANNOT wait until that day comes. It should have come after Obama won 11 i a row after Super Tuesday.

to have this contest over - there will be lots of cheering and alot of sour grapes too, the usual.

most of our first choices didn't make it either-come on over and join us in trying to make this a better country for our kids with Obama.

to see how many people originally picked Obama. I was a Kucinich, Edwards, then Obama supporter myself.

it was Gore, Kerry HRC (until throwing JK under bus for bad joke) Edwards and THEN Obama

called McCain and Bush term #3.

I thought we all knew that...

:evilfrown:

any threads of gloating, bashing Hillary, bashing Obama, whatever -- and just focus on bashing the crap out of McCain/Bush. Period.

And it will taste oh so sweet for a few days. Then the hard work sets in.

Rivers and seas boiling, earthquakes, volcanoes, the dead rising from the grave, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria, and multiple tombstonings.

Will vanish. No more need for them to come here and try and stir up trouble. :applause:

He simply will not be able to keep up the political pace.

and who is a crazy cat lady who is so desperate to see a woman in the president's chair in her lifetime that she'd be willing to support her at all costs.

I hope that Obama supporters will be magnanimous in victory, but I'm sure there will be some assholes gloating, because they feel there han't been enough divisiveness on this forum.

:evilgrin:

you're always friggin crackin me up B.Oc

followed by a dull thud. Sort of like the moment after caps are thrown at graduation.

The next chapter will be one to watch.

I don't have that experience, but have noticed some bewildered post-divorce souls wandering around, sometime after the obligatory celebration. :evilgrin:

like a post-coital falling out of bed. :)

:evilgrin:

And by God I'm going to take it!

:rofl:

There will be some of this:



And some of this:



And some of this:

There will be some chaos, but eventually this place will return to being the Democratic Underground.

That's for sure

And maybe some of this:

Millions of constipated people stepping out of a restroom after taking their first good dump in five months.

I think it will be pretty much the same.

Sometimes gracious winning is more important than gracious losing.

Suspending her campaign leaves the door open for any filthy rich people with money enough to throw away and who want to risk an investment in the future chance that she may run again to help her pay off her campaign debts and loans.

I won't gloat (Skinner says anyone who gloats is a "jerk" and he's right) because there won't be a moment of time to waste to take the fight to McCain, but I think getting rip roaring drunk the night it's official might be OK.

I think you will see the Hillary bashing stop almost instantly. Most people will just be grateful this primary is over - from BOTH sides.

There will be some celebrating that some people construe as "gloating". But that's only natural after such a long, hard, bitter fight. We will deserve some celebration time - just like the Giants deserved to celebrate their big win over the Patriots in the Superbowl.

There will be some temper tantrums. There will be a few saying "I won't vote for him". But mostly I think there will be deafening silence from Hillary supporters. Would Patriots fans go to a Giants bar the night of their super bowl loss?


What I would LIKE to see happen:
Respectful celebration from Obama supporters. Nothing personal. Not rubbing anything in. Nothing bad about Hillary. Just celebrating our hard work and our win. I would like to see Obama supporters say to Hillary supporters, "Congratulations on such a hard fought race. All of us have backed candidates before who haven't won, so we know it's hard for you right now. I understand that you'll need some time, but we hope you will join your fellow democrats in supporting Barack Obama soon."

I would like Hillary supporters to be able to say to Obama supporters, "Congratulations on such a hard fought race and on your win. I hope to get to a point soon where I can support Obama against McCain." Understand that the celebration is not meant to be a slap in the face. Understand that all the celebrating is about our win, not your loss. And understand that you may feel very differently about Obama in a few days, or weeks, or months. Understand that getting a Democrat - ANY Democrat - in the white house is more important that hurt feelings or the loss of your candidate.

That much I do know.

Well deserved, at that! :)

:D

There will still be some leftover freeper hill supporters who will try to put Obama down but most will be gone.
