Fired up! Ready to go!

I DO NOT want a repeat of New Hampshire.

...dwahzon.:patriot:

Guess which channel I'm watching.

Special coverage started at 6 pm. Polls close 46 minutes from now even as I type this.

I'm running low on fingernails to bite here. Wonder if I can order some replacements over the internets?

...about "being an ex-president does not give you license to abuse the truth." YAaaay, Keith! :)

Fired up! Ready to go!

GObama!

MSNBC's exit polling indicates that 70% of those who voted in today's SC primaries believe that the Clinton campaign has attacked Obama unfairly,

OTOH, 56% of those who voted in today's SC primaries believe that the Obama campaign has attacked Clinton unfairly.

You do the math. More than half of the people who responded to MSNBC's exit polling made it clear that negative campaign attacks suck, no matter who they come from or who they're aimed at.

Gee, ya think??

Yay!

GOBAMA!!!

They already projected him the winner on NBC.

W00T!!

Exit polls Obama 24% white vote, HUGE relief.

...on DU. :toast: AP says it's a 'rout.' 70% vs 18%

But it's still a rout by any standards.

Way to go, Barry O'Bama!

...I saw that after I had posted. :7

Great job, SC! :yourock:

Was that a thing of beauty and a joy forever or WHAT? :)

I could gush about it more, but...well, my words seem pretty weak in comparison to his. So...

GOBAMA!!! :)

Hi Storyteller, good to see you! :hi:

:hug:

I want to live in the USA he sees.

He was inspiring but also edgy.

Really awesome.

And yeah, I really loved that about his speech. Inspiring, but also a very serious, almost gritty undertone to it. Good balance between lifting up and making you feel good, but also being bluntly honest about what to expect next. And oh my goodness--he and his speech-writers know how to use words!

This writer is in word-nirvana about it. :loveya:

and it's great to see you too.

That whole speech was flippin' awesome.

Brilliant framing, brilliant writing, and -- especially, most especially -- brilliant and heartfelt delivery.

You know, after watching that speech, I reckon as how I just might maybe have to go ahead and vote for that young Obama feller after all...

:0)

that the people have spoken and have said they are tired of the divisiveness and the lies.
They want change.

Wow, just wow.

For the February 5th states: it's time to get results and turn the page to a new future!

Joe Scarborough (!!) talked about the messages he gets on his Blackberry every time Obama speaks -- not just from Dems , but even from conservative Republicans. Said that there's something about Obama that touches people. He or one of his fellow Talking Heads mentioned something about Obama touching our "better angels"..

Great speech. There was an edginess and (to quote the Talking Heads) even a defiance about it, all mixed in seamlessly with his appeal to our higher selves. I liked that mixture.I like what's happening right now
I like the thought that there will be a time soon when I can be proud of my president, and proud of my fellow citizens again.

...to our values! Great speech.

even more so in the context of everything that happened these last couple of weeks. Touched all the right points, sore or otherwise, perfectly. Unbelievable.

Wonderful news.

Do we know how Obama is polling in the Feb 5 states? So far I haven't seen anything for my own state, Missouri. Are there any sites that keep track of those that you know of?
