Fellow Obamans, what do you think at this point?
Could he still win this thing, or is about time to shake the Hillary fans' hands, say "Good Game," and trudge off the field?

1. If he loses by less than three points, it's a wash.
The repubs have had three primaries and have three different winners. There will be a couple more primaries before super tuesday. He'd be an idiot to trudge off the field now.

:headbang:
rocknation.

2. The difference will be SOLELY in attitude
The numbers equate a virtual TIE, not a loss or victory for either candidate. The light given will determine whether NH is beneficial, detrimental, or neutral to his campaign.

3. He can win, but not as easily with Edwards in the mix, imo.
I like Edwards and Obama, so I don't think I am biased here.

The "Hillary Comeback" theme starts tonight, and I don't know how two people splitting the "change" vote are going to overcome that.

7. Shillary Corp. candidate
Shillary isn't going to be easy to defeat. The Reptiles want her to win because they know a McCain can defeat her in the general. She won't draw the Independent vote the way John M. will. Edwards has to decide who he wants here. He can't win but he can help Obama win. Its on him now. Nader couldn't get past his own ego in 2000 and gave us W and the friggin awful mess were now in. Edwards could end up giving us Mccain or Hillary both neo-cons and Imperialists. Or he could fold and get behind the Obama wagon and let us out of this Imperialist dead-end we've got ourselves trapped in. Its up to John Edwards now.

10. I am seldom a pessimist
but I do believe it is over for Obama. The "tearing up" of Hillary yesterday was in my opinion a brilliant campaign strategy. If Obama had won this evening he would have been in for some big endorsements because some important people in the party where beginning to have doubts about Hillary. Tonight he lost those endorsements. The Clinton machine is alive and functioning well after a brief set-back. My first vote for president was in 1964. I have been around the block and I have never been so enthused about a candidate as I have been with Obama. He was a breath of fresh air in a political party that has lost its way and become stagnant. No words can describe how disappointed I am this evening.
