Hey you proud and happy IN and NC voters.
Having fun in your state today? Lots of people at the polls? I bet it gave you pride to go and cast your vote for your candidate. And to think, it matters what the Democrats in YOUR state think and you're telling us today. Congratulations on casting your vote!

And to think Obama supporters on DU didn't want you to vote, they wanted the voting to be stopped. Just sayin'.

6. No bullshit being spewed. Obama supporters on DU
did not want this race to continue. That's a fact.

14. Even if she dropped out, there still would be a primary today.
I'm very proud of voting for a strong progressive ticket BELOW the presidential line - and that is what we will need for success, no matter who gets the nomination.

You, OTOH, take the high turnout as an opportunity to slap Obama supporters.

Bullshit.

26. The point is that it is a fun day in IN and NC....
and it is the way it's supposed to be..the voting goes on till it's over not until Obama supporters want it to stop.

36. This has nothing to do with Clinton,
This has to do with the fact Obama supporters on DU wanted the voting to stop. IN and NC would NOT have voted if they had their way.

51. Never mind that even if there was a decided upon candidate
there would still have been a primary vote. I have no doubt that many in this state voted for Edwards and Biden and Kucinich, even though they were not on the ballot.

Hillary doing the right thing would not have stopped the vote. People could even have still voted for HER.

:hi:

Only Registered Dems and unaffiliated voters can vote in the NC Democratic Primary today.

Repubs can only vote for McCain and whoever is downticket from him in the local races.

29. Sorry, you failed. Do you not understand how the primaries work?
Wanting Clinton to suspend her campaign does not mean that people cannot still continue to vote. Republicans are still out there voting in their primaries even though they know John McCain is their nominee. You wish Obama supporters had really said that so you could slam them, but wishing doesn't make it so.

30. I'm an Obama supporter in NC
and I would have rather that NC be a non-issue for the presidential primary this time around considering where the campaign has gone.

Hopefully, after tonight, Clinton can add NC to the list of states that "don't matter."

TAR HEEL FOR OBAMA!

33. Voted mid morning here in NC
and we were voter numbers 364 and 365. In the last election held in this precinct we went mid afternoon and I think we were about numbers 92 and 93, so turnout is far greater than before, and that's not including all those early ballots cast over the past couple weeks.

57. No, I wanted Hillary to drop out, because she LOST.
When candidates drop out, the voting goes on. I voted in the 2004 primary for a candidate who had dropped out weeks earlier, when Kerry was already the presumed nominee.

Is this your first primary?

at the same time of the morning.
