3. Maybe because they are unfamiliar with the political process?
Or maybe they're just disruptors?

4. I don't know. Disappointment, I guess.
I think it's silly, but to people who have their hopes invested in one particular candidate, it can be devastating.

5. The 'Burger King Mentality' is all too common in America
Have it your way in 60 seconds or less. ADD on a mass societal scale. People just no able to deal with the long view. Too many just can't/won't think long term.

6. I don't want to take anything away from the two victory tonight!
They WON! But to say it's over is very foolish! Even if the turnout in Iowa was 350,000 people, which IS a record turnout, it's 1% of the eligible voters in the General election! There are HUGH States that must still vote!

Congrats to the winners tonight, but this is just the beginning!

7. agreed. there are still primaries to go
even though I would have preferred edwards of the top three, Obama would be good. If y'all recall, Dean was leading in the primaries until Kerry took over.

a lot can still happen.

the only real loss is the tarnish on the "inevitability" meme, otherwise, its still a close horse race.
