Hey you proud and happy IN and NC voters.

[Saturday]

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'.

[redqueen]

1. I await your lecture on "hate". (nt)

[RaleighNCDUer]

2. bullshit.

why are you spewing bullshit?

[Saturday]

6. No bullshit being spewed. Obama supporters on DU

did not want this race to continue. That's a fact.

[RaleighNCDUer]

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.

[Saturday]

18. And with only 1 candidate that primary would have been

very exciting. ROTFLMAO

[RaleighNCDUer]

22. This is politics, not a horse race.

Good thing for Hillary.

[Saturday]

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.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

31. Clinton hoped the fun would be over February 5

That would have been sad...right?

[Saturday]

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.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

39. You attack Obama supporters, who are *NOT* candidates, but give Clinton, the actual candidate

a pass.

[RaleighNCDUer]

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.

[Terran]

35. and NO ONE EVER said these people shouldn't vote.

Now did they?

[Saturday]

40. Hellooooo...They wanted the voting to stop. Can you deny that? nt

[SemiCharmedQuark]

43. No, *some* wanted Clinton to stop. Big difference.

[Terran]

46. I most certainly do deny that.

Where on earth did you get the idea that the primaries would grind to a halt just because Clinton drops out?

[Terran]

47. self-delete

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

38. 182,236 illegal robo calls aimed at African Americans in NC during primary

gee, who would want to supress the AA vote?

[DemVet]

56. True. No one can deny this fact.

[futureliveshere]

3. Hey, at least Obama didn't say this would be over by Feb 5, eh!!!

[Window]

10. LOL! Hillary did say that...I had forgotten.

[futureliveshere]

16. uh huh.. This was supposed to be a HRC coronation remember. Talk about double standards.

:grr:

[Window]

45. Yes, and the manner in which she spoke left no doubt it would be so.

LOL!

[Arugula Latte]

15. LOL!

Why did Hillary Clinton hate U.S. voters and want them to stop voting so early?!?! :rofl:

[DAGDA56]

4. You were doing just fine...until the last line. Sad...and untrue.

[Saturday]

8. Not untrue at all, maybe you ought to listen to your fellow posters

to understand that they wanted this race stopped.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

20. Didn't the Clinton campaign say the race would be over back in February?

[SemiCharmedQuark]

23. Oops, I was wrong. It was Clinton herself that said it. Here's video:

[Saturday]

34. I'm talking about the Obama suppporters on DU that

wanted this race to be over.

[Terran]

37. which has nothing to do

with weather people are 'allowed' to vote. Does it?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

5. Tough thread.

Punch. :nuke:

Counterpunch.:nuke:













Goodbye, cruel world!

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

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

[Saturday]

9. Did you want Hillary to drop out? nt

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

13. Up to her.

Do I want? Yes.

Is it necessary? No.

Is it over? Yes.

[Terran]

42. Does HRC dropping out...

prevent anyone from holding their primary and voting?

[lutefisk]

11. I bet the Republicans voting for HRC are proud and happy

Serving their party by screwing with the voting process.

:patriot: :hi:

[supernova]

28. Repubs can't vote in NC Dem primary

: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.

[lutefisk]

55. That's good to hear. I really want fair elections!

I guess I should brush up on my Southeastern States election laws before making semi-snippy comments. :blush:

:hi:

[AllentownJake]

12. Arggg

They shut off ignore.

[RaleighNCDUer]

19. Yah, I noticed.

Not in this thread, however.

[Saturday]

24. You never had me on ignore.

Why is it that Obama supporters always say they are putting Hillary supporters on ignore but it's not the same in reverse. Immature.

[TragedyandHope]

17. Last minute digs! Get them in while you still have the chance!

:spank:

[Saturday]

21. Truth hurts huh? nt

[DAGDA56]

27. Yes it does...but you don't let the truth stop you, do you?

[CakeGrrl]

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.

[Saturday]

48. If people were voting for a candidate who already won there

would be no fun in the day. Is there fun left in the Republicans voting? No.

[CakeGrrl]

49. Not being fun doesn't make it any less true. That's how it works. n/t

[RaleighNCDUer]

53. Well, Obama has already won, but I still had fun voting for him. nt

[JimGinPA]

25. Hillary Didn't Plan On It Going Past Super Tuesday, But Don't Let Truth Get In Your Way...

Keep slamming President Obama.

[knowledgeispwr]

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!

[FlyingSquirrel]

32. Nobody wanted the voting to be stopped.

They simply wanted the scurrilous negative attacks on Obama to stop.

[NorthCarolina]

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.

[Mooney]

41. Why do you lie?

Nobody wanted the voting stopped. You remind me of the people who said that anyone who opposed the Iraq War wanted Saddam Hussein to stay in power.

[Saturday]

50. Yes you did, you wanted the campaigns to be over

and the voting to be done for no reason. You wanted Obama annointed.

[Mooney]

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?

[knixphan]

44. HRC: "This will all be over feb 5th"

[mnhtnbb]

52. Voted at 10:30 a.m. in NC--ballot #123! No line, but there never is at my precinct.

[RaleighNCDUer]

54. I was #122 at 9:00 am - in the last primary there I was #18 (maybe 19)

at the same time of the morning.
