Will the Clinton campaign pick a new theme song?
This one goes out to all the people who had the audacity to hope.

With the final results in (raw numbers here and here), and with Senator Clinton's impressive demonstration of the difference between enthusiasm and skill, I would like to suggest the following replacement song for Hillary's campaign. It seems much more appropriate.
Not much else to say, unless you're an Obama supporter. To you fine folks, I merely have a small suggestion: aren't you a bit old to be believing everything that you read on the Internet?

the media said indy's would go to Obama, and it appears the opposite happened.
Wow, how rich.
I have to say I like Hillary being taken down a notch but I like it more to see Obama taken down 2.
You see that fella in the red sweater over there? His name's Donnie McCoy. Works a few of the protection rackets for Cunnaro when he's waiting for something better to happen. Donnie and I have known each other since we were six. Take a good look at that face, Floyd. Because if he ever finds out I can be beat by one lousy grifter, I'll have to kill him and every other hood who wants to muscle in on my Chicago operation.
was that Clinton got the older votes, but Obama went after the younger votes. Most young people at Obama's rally totaled over 3000, but didn't show up to vote. That is a problem with younger voters, they don't want to vote because they don't trust the system or think that their vote matters. So many young people don't vote, and Obama should have tried to go after the older people for votes. Baby Boomers outnumber every other generation, and Clinton was smart enough to target them in NH, while Obama went after Generation-Y.
If Generation-Y people don't show up to vote, their vote will never be counted.
"we can disagree without being disagreeable"..
Wow... This man is just so full of substance. Awesome. LOL.
"we will never use 911 to scare up votes"...
Yeah, this is the future of bi-partisan politics.
I thought Obama was a shoe in.

I am an Obama supporter, I won't lie about it. But what you need to keep in mind is that I am also a "anyone but Hillary" supporter. I am doubtless one of the not oft heard cases of HRC-DS on the liberal side of the aisle - but I have to tell you - if she secures the nomination, I will be voting Republican. Period. And yes, even it that Republican nominee happens to be Huckabee.
You know how mafia stories sometimes put it: "we have an understanding." Appreciation and respect can facilitate reasonably "good faith" without necessarily compromising any big concessions, and it might even improve the quality of the national debate.
However, that is assuming that proper debate can actually be facilitated by the MSM. I think we can all agree that the venues thus far have been considerably lacking, acting more as a forum for sound bites, and less a glimpse into substantive discussion. Sure, the one-liners are great, but have we learned anything from any candidate on either side of the aisle on how they actually intend to move this country forward in one year's time?
To my mind, Edwards mimics whomever is ahead in the polls, Clinton tries to re-run her husband's '92 campaign, and Obama just rallies new voters with big words. On the Republican side, Guilliani is a single-issue man, McCain plays it all too safe, Romney has more positions than the Kama Sutra, Huckabee thinks he's on a snipe hunt with drinkin' buddies, and Paul is waiting for the mother ship.
You believe it will raise the level of debate in this country - I'm thinking it's going to further depress the country and impact consumer confidence numbers.
Hmmm, maybe I am just too cynical. Dang that HRC!
...for this victory. It appears that McCain bucked the conventional wisdom and most independents went for him instead of Obama.
