1. Before the usual people start....it's TRUE. It CANNOT BE DENIED.
Hillary has yet to win by a large margin in any state that actually has delegates.

But Obama has already done it. TWICE.

6. Obama has yet to lose a single state, in terms of delegates.
Who would have thunk that, huh? Super-duper Tuesday approaches and he's undefeated!

2. Are you really an Obama supporter? I ask because you do him such a disservice.

3. Hillary values VOTES
Not delegates.

P.S. Quit your whining. You lost: Big. Now deal.

20. Gore wasn't a fighter
Hillary is. Bill Clinton was on the golf course when he heard that the Supreme Court was going to take up the Bush v Gore case. His exact words, as he made par on the 9th hole, were: "Gore needs to attack those bastards."

Indeed, on the EVE of the 2000 election, the Bush camp let it be known that they would go all the way to the Supreme Court if Bush won the popular vote and lost the electoral one.

You gotta fight to win.

Hillary's a fighter. She'll fight for EVERY vote and make them count.

18. A "yeah, but" post is nothing BUT whining.
Suck it up. It builds character.

9. What really matters is the people have spoken and they say, OBAMA!
I'm just guessing, of course.

10. No, but he discussed the Florida Democratic party plans to hold caucuses and
lobby the DNC to be seated. That included Obama supporters in the planning. Looks like the last laugh may be on you.

12. They will be seated
AFTER the winner has been chosen. Nobody is going to let these two phony elections count towards the selection of our nominee.

11. The key word there is "win"
Which is what the average voter is going to take away from this.

17. Exactly
The average Joe will just read that Hillary won Florida big, and will add a lot of momentum on her side. It also effectively relegates SC to the back pages. We here on DU are hardcore political junkies, but 99% of the nation will perceive that the Clinton train is unstoppable and inevitable with this "win".
