How ugly are things going to get here tomorrow...

[WilliamPitt]

Poll question: How ugly are things going to get here tomorrow...

...if Kerry sweeps Super Tuesday?

[BruinAlum]

1. I've noticed it's the day AFTER the primary that things get ugly here

The night of the primary is fairly quiet because people are watching returns, I presume.

[seaglass]

44. If you been reading the candidate's congratulatory threads

one particular candidate's supporters get nasty while the results are still rolling in.

[BruinAlum]

50. No, I don't read those. I've just been reading the state results and the

other topics. So I've been spared some of the vitriol I guess. ;-)

[A J]

2. And people laughed....

when I got my eyes equipped with eyeball lightning.

I'll show them!

[WilliamPitt]

5. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt

Augh, melting! Melting! What a world, what a world blurble blub gurgle ssssssssssssss...

[dorktv]

77. You should bath more often then.

Sorry, could not resist the Wicked Witch of the West. ;)

[DrFunkenstein]

13. LMAO

I totally lost my sh*t!!!

I'm seriously crying.

Oh, make it go away...

:yourock:

[littlejoe]

54. I got my nipples outfitted with lasers.

[littlejoe]

55. Is it okay to say nipples?

[WilliamPitt]

61. nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples

nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples nipples.

:)

[VelmaD]

66. PERV!

;-)

[littlejoe]

67. I guess it's okay.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

3. Compared to what?

any other day? :shrug:

[JohnLocke]

4. Bitter Clarkies tear up Edwards supporters after he wins Ohio, Georgia.

[cosmokramer]

18. Step away from the bong...slowly, slowly

I am in Ohio and phone banked several hundred calls over the last week.

EDWARDS IS TOAST...

He has no support here, and no chance of winning Ohio...AN EIGHTEEN POINT GAP!

HAHAHAHAH

I will be laughing my arse off and doing my happy dance while Edwards is preparing his concession speech...LOL

Edwards can't even get the unions here to let him use a Union hall for speeches...he had to give a speech in a private airport hangar today.

The Unions locked him out of their union halls all over the state.

Poor Edwards ain't gettin' no love from Ohioans.

My prediction: EDWARDS SURPRISES EVERYONE AND LOSES ALL TEN!

[jenk]

20. lol, that would be great!

Clarkies right now are like the 1986 boston red sox. 5-3, 2 outs, bottom of the 10th......

[Renew Deal]

63. lol Edwards will be 1-29 by the end of tomorrow.

Where are all those southerners he was going to win over?

[tameszu]

64. Hmmm...wonder who started THIS one?

Could it be the very positive supporters of the very positive candidate?

[Leilani]

69. Isn't it amazing how positive Edwards people

love to get their jollies by bashing Clark & his supporters?

[JohnLocke]

75. Kick

[HuskerDem]

100. Oh Positively........ it could be the very positive supporters of the

very positive candidate. I am positive.

[zulchzulu]

6. Other

Edwards people will still think that he can win, Kucinich people will blame the media for underreporting his candidacy, Dean people will say it's all a DLC setup and a couple of Art Bell fans will imply that Skull and Bones are up to no good. Kerry people will celebrate mildly with Clarkies and look forward to the sweep next week.

Maybe not...but...

[DrFunkenstein]

7. If Kerry Wins, I'm Going To Tear Into The Kucinich People

Just kidding.

[zulchzulu]

15. I know someone who knows that Teresa wants to give Kootch...

...a plan for NAFTA/WTO that makes more sense than his plan. She likes him.

[DrFunkenstein]

22. I Can Totally See Them Getting Along

Both very passionate and sincere people. Even if they disagreed on a topic, I bet they'd come away loving each other more.

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

29. I thought you were going to say that Teresa wants to give some Kootch

...to Kucinich.

Thankfully, nothing to that rumor.

[MaineDem]

8. I really have no idea

I'm not good at guessing the reactions in here. I know what I hope will happen but I'm probably wrong.

[Padraig18]

9. It's gonna be UGLY, Will.

I'm borrowing Tony's Kevlar body-armor before I come in tomorrow evening...

[Renew Deal]

62. It will only be as ugly as you make it.

It's up to you.

[tryanhas]

10. You forgot this one...

...tryanhas will get banned after he lashes into DUers telling them how, "HE TOLD THEM SO," can calling them stupid for doubting what he was telling them the Monday before Super Tuesday.

[WilliamPitt]

14. You're gonna get banned tomorrow

over a prediction you're making about November? Do you have a time machine?

[tryanhas]

19. The thread is about predicting tomorrow...

...and I am.

My prediction is that I will fight so hard with people here, instigating such emotions, that I will be banned.

Peace...

...gotta leave this computer lab now.

[WilliamPitt]

21. Over what, exactly?

I missed it.

[BruinAlum]

40. Well he has jumped my case a couple times already.

He seems to have a bone to pick about stupid people voting for the wrong candidate.:eyes:

[windansea]

11. other...a gigantic Black Hole

will develop and suck everyone in DU thru their monitors into a paralel universe of sqawking monkeys throwing feces

[WilliamPitt]

16. Uh...sqawking monkeys throwing feces

is pretty much GD2004. Hopefully the parallel universe will be mellower. :)

[A J]

25. We are going to get sucked to freerepublic.com?

N/T

[boobooday]

12. If Kerry wins I won't be angry

Just disappointed.

Kucinich Fan -- we never get rabid, we just keep hoping.

http://www.wgoeshome.com

[Kathleen04]

17. It'll be more ugly in here if Edwards wins several n/t

[Hippo_Tron]

23. Doubt it...

I think the consensus is that we want the primary to last a little longer.

[Kathleen04]

32. True and I agree with that

but the Kerry people won't be feeling too much animosity towards the Edwards supporters if Edwards is toast..

[aquart]

30. Why?

(I'm having an obtuse day.)

[Kathleen04]

36. Just because if

there's a real race then there'll be more tension..

If Edwards is no longer viable then it'd be pointless for the Kerry supporters to bicker with them...and vice versa...

That's just my thinking.

There will probably be alot of lamenting Kerry as nominee posts, but I'm strictly talking about Edwards vs. Kerry supporters infighting.

[Padraig18]

24. I'm prepared to gnaw on the skulls of Kerry supporters...

... and pick my teeth with slivers of their smashed long bones...

:P

[salinen]

51. You are referring to

Femurs and Tibias right?

[Padraig18]

53. Yes.

:P

[littlejoe]

56. Don't you already do that?

[Fenris]

26. You ever see those Viking berserker warriors?

They're coming...

[WilliamPitt]

27. No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

:)

[Fenris]

31. Our chief weapon is surprise!

[scarletwoman]

42. NOT the COMFY CHAIR!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

[Bake]

28. I'd say, "Pretty damn ugly."

But that wasn't one of the choices. I probably won't venture in here for a few days, IF THEN. There will be the usual assortment of flame-bait posts. The predictable anti-Kerry screeds about how he's Bush Lite, the usual "I'm staying home" or "Voting for Nader" or "I'm gonna vote for _____ anyway and nobody can tell me otherwise."

And that's before we even get to the Kerry and Edwards people. A word of advice for the Kerry-ites: It's easy to be magnanimous when your guy is winning. Remember that. For the Edwardsians, I have no clue what to say ...

Bake

[InhaleToTheChief]

33. Warm/fuzzy

At least that's the way I voted in hopes that this group can rise above petty squabbling, and keep it to some real discussion.

Before you post "I'll laugh in the face of Kerry supporters...", "Edwards supporters are brain dead...", "Kucinich supporters are a bunch of hippies" or any other divisive thread, ask yourself whether you want to move democracy forward with this incredible tool that is DU, or if you just want to be "right" in front of a bunch of people...

[WilliamPitt]

35. I just want to be right

:evilgrin:

Kidding...sorta. I'm as much a part of the problem as anyone else. If I had a brain, I'd hide this whole god damned forum.

[littlejoe]

57. If I owned this forum, I'd pull the plug on it.

[Crunchy Frog]

47. How dare you

try to be sensible and promote civility in a place like this? Just who do you think you are?;-)

Welcome to DU, InhaleToTheChief. Nice username.:hi:

[DancingBear]

34. About like this

(1) Clark poster will rag on Edwards for doing poorly, leading Edwards folks to conclude that all Clark people are scum

(1) Edwards poster will rag on Clark for dropping out, leading Clark folks to conclude that all Edwards folk are scum

(1) Dean poster will rag on the media, leading all other Dean supporters to conclude that The Washington Post is aligned with Satan

(1) Kerry poster will say that the Kerry delegate count is now almost insurmountable, leading Edwards people to trot out the "there are still 19 states that haven't even voted yet" line

(1) Kucinich supporter will say "what about Dennis and Hawaii?"

(1) DancingBear will try and stay the hell out the way - and probably won't

[Kathleen04]

38. LOL

So you're saying Kerry has to win all 10 for any of that to happen? ;)

[earthsea wizard]

37. Kerry Wins Everything, he and his supporters

gloat feverishly while greedily sucking the marrow from the bones of the other Democratic candidates (past, present,and future) who were sacrificed en masse in a midnight ceremony near Nantucket.

Kerry is unable to comment after a bone sliver sticks in his throat and he must travel to Vermont for decent medical attention.

[WilliamPitt]

39. Cuz there are no good doctors in Boston

or something.

:)

[earthsea wizard]

70. Vermont is like, where Dr Judy works

it was just a bad joke, gimme some breaks :silly:

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

41. I predict DU will be boring as hell from tomorrow until October Surprise

3/1/2004

[arewethereyet]

76. thank God for Baseball

and softball.

Should the party decide to test the limits of losability with Kerry at least we'll have something worthwild in the national pasttime.

[Crunchy Frog]

43. Hey, what about us Clark people?

Are we just chopped liver, or is this considered to be a tribute to our incredible civility compared with everyone else?:)

[windansea]

48. we're above the fray

eating foie gras on crackers

[Salviati]

45. How about this:

To infinity and beyond: Kucinich supporters snap: think Carrie only with more blood. Levels of gore that would make even Quentin Tarantino fans stand back and say "that was a bit gratuitious, don't you think?"

Here's hoping that it is more like the mellow group hug scenerio...

[Thistle42]

46. I haven't a clue about what others will do tomorrow...

all I know is that I care about getting rid of Bush more than anything. I am mighty grateful that I don't have to vote for Lieberman, and like Howard Zinn, a man I admire, I am voting for the man who will beat Bush.

I say this as someone who has marched in every protest on the east coast since Bush was "selected" by the Supremes. The Voter March held in Washington, DC, was pathetic...hardly 2000 showed up. Where was the outrage? I couldn't believe it! When war was on the horizon, people woke from their apathy and decided to protest in larger numbers from November to right before the war commenced in March. I am very anti-war...a former Army nurse in Vietnam. Many of my fellow nurses marched with me as did the VAIW (Veterans Against the Iraq War). The police in all the marches were respectful, except for NYC on Feb.15th. I was hit by a barricade in the knees by one overly zealous policeman.

I would like my candidate for president to be perfect in all respects...who wouldn't? But,I am older and wiser and know that we barely have a chance to keep this democracy?/republic as we now know it. We want mightily to improve it and snatch it away from the greedy corporations and the incestuous Military Industrial complex, and we write our congressmen and our letters to the editors and what happens? Nada. It will not be an easy road for the next Democratic president whoever he is. The congress is filled with so many "safe" seats that gridlock is the future. Perhaps with our new grassroots powers we can help this dreadful scenario and really bring democracy back to the people. That is our best hope...and like Studs Terkel says, "Hope Dies Last"!

I hope that what ever anger that is manifest, is assuaged by the time November rolls around. We are in great danger...and have been for some time now. I am ready to fight the right wing...not my fellow Democrats.

[King of New Orleans]

68. Nice post

eom

[unfrigginreal]

49. More sad than ugly

but looking at the bright side, rules will probably be in place soon to prevent all of that silly dissent that you call ugly.

[RetroLounge]

52. Is there a primary tomorrow?

Really?

:boring:

[eileen_d]

58. ROFLMAO

I voted for the "Beat It" knife fight, because I've always wanted to be a part of an MJ video re-enactment.

You know, some history enthusiasts are into the reenacting the U.S. Civil War... others prefer the Battle of the Little Bighorn (happens down the road from me every summer) - but I want to wear a cool jacket with lots of zippers and snap my fingers!

See y'all tomorrow... remember, "No One Wants to Beee Defeeeeated!"

[WilliamPitt]

59. Bring me the head of Eddie Van Halen

and a cup of hot fat.

:)

[Renew Deal]

60. So far election days have been mellow.

I expect to see more of the same. I think that I will be putting up Kerry avatar on Wednesday.

[BootinUp]

65. Us Clarkies don't get to play anymore?

[Leilani]

71. We Clarkies will get dragged in

Whether Edwards wins 10 or 0, Clark will get blamed for not dropping out sooner.

[Leilani]

73. However we will remain above the fray

& gracious as always!

[BootinUp]

74. I will take that as a compliment!

The whole Clark candidacy will be written about for some time. I am proud to have supported him.

Leilani! how's the weather in Hawaii?

[Leilani]

78. We're back to normal, thank goodness!!

This morning everyone untied their outdoor furniture; flying tables & chairs out here become lethal weapons.

Today we're sunny, 82degrees, trades are blowing.

Thanks for asking, Jim!

[BootinUp]

83. Glad to hear it Leilani. -eom-

[KoKo]

72. UGH! No reply to this one! A Poll? about tomorrow? YUCK! n/t

[ScreamingMeemie]

79. So ugly that the moderators have decided to take the day off....

GOTCHA! Just kidding. :hi:

[BootinUp]

80. LOL!

wouldn't blame ya!

[MurikanDemocrat]

81. I hope not. I think the realization is setting in. Tomorrow shouldn't be

a surprise to anyone.

[jonnyblitz]

82. hell i expect Kerry to win it all.

and I am ready to support him if/when he does.

[John_H]

84. Are there people who don't know who the nominee is?

Should the opinions of those who believe the nomination isn't decided be taken seriously?

[democratreformed]

85. Too ugly for me to be here, I'm sure. So I won't be. n/t

[BootinUp]

89. You're tougher than you

let on! Otherwise you'd have been gone long ago. :)

[democratreformed]

92. Oh, Jim, you're just a sweety!!! But, you're probably right. I left once

for all of two or three days. Right back I came. That was in the very beginning, by the way.

[edzontar]

86. With the anointing of Kerry, the final nail will be driven.

Look for this place to become, not a battleground, but a wasteland.

[BootinUp]

90. Close your eyes

and imagine the headlines:

Kerry defeats George W. Bush!

Kerry is the 44th President of the United States!
____________________________________________

Do you not get some hope from that?

[IndianaGreen]

91. Here is another headline: Peace marchers demonstrate against Kerry

on March 20, 2005 because of the ongoing occupation of Iraq by the Kerry Administration.

[BootinUp]

93. We have to win this thing one step

at a time.

I am very dissapointed at the results of the primary season, but I am not ready to give up.

Cheers Indiana.

[edzontar]

108. A Kerry win would be a relief, but the greater battle would be far

From over.

Kerry's position at present seems very close to the Clinton-Biden-Dodd etc, wing of the party.

Moderately liberal on domestic policy, corporate on economics, expansionist and militant in foreign policy.

I will vote for him, but have no interest in his campaign.

[IndianaGreen]

87. While some people may prefer an echo to a real choice

I am not one of them! I prefer a choice, not an echo, as Goldwater used to say.

I don't care about how Kerry does in what's left of the primary season and I don't care to hear what he has to say. Kerry is only an echo.

In May I will vote for Dennis Kucinich in the Indiana primary. Dennis opposed the invasion of war and will bring the troops home expeditiously. Dennis wants to repeal PATRIOT, and wants to pull the US from NAFTA and WTO. Dennis also opposes the FTAA, the NAFTA with steroids for the rest of Latin America.

Dennis will cancel Plan Colombia and disband the renamed School of the Americas.

Dennis supports gay marriage.

Dennis is a fighter for the issues I care about. I trust Dennis.

[Skittles]

88. it still bums me out

that I will probably be voting for president someone who actually voted for that piece of SHIT IWR. I cannot believe Kerry is the best Democrats have to offer. It is extremely disheartening.

[democratreformed]

95. Me too, Skittles. But, alas, I have come to accept that the majority of

people do not agree with me.

[Deb]

94. There is no time for ugly

The first ugly gets a box of envelopes to stuff and yard signs to staple.

[revcarol]

96. The first ugly gets to go down to TEXAS

and convince Texans that New England is part of the United States.

[Tactical Progressive]

97. Best poll ever on DU

LLOL.

If you can't laugh at yourself ...

[kher-heb]

98. other:

buyer's remorse will begin to set in and people will realize what a huge mistake they made by nominating the least electable of all the Democrats that exist.

[HuskerDem]

99. I'm voting supernova

An F5 on the Fujita scale. Scrubbed earth. Pencils driven through steel I beams. No cows survive.

[Dhalgren]

101. I think we will all stand around in a big cozy circle,

arm-in-arm singing "Someone to blame us, someone to follow. Someone to shame us, some young Apollo. Someone to fool us, someone like you. We love you Big Brother, Big Brother."

[incapsulated]

102. Other: Don't forget the still bitter....

Yet silent crowd of Clark/Dean supporters who will just stare at the forum and think: "Who gives a shit? It's not Clark/Dean." And then go and cry in our collective teacups.

104. other

It will be over, not ugly.

[lams712]

105. I hope things remain civilized...

...but that might be too much to ask. I also hope that the race will continue without anyone dropping out. I want the debate about the soul of the party to continue, I hope that the dialogue will lead up to a resounding victory in November. I fear that if the race is declared over and there is no more dialogue it will lead to apathy and discouragement (and defections to Nader because he will be the only one discussing the issues that many here at DU believe in).

That might affect voter turnout and have bad conseuquences in November.

I was told I need to "go to the light" because I didnt vote for the right person according to this bitter individual.

[WilliamPitt]

110. Let's see how close my predictions were...

:)
