  It just seems that way to me from any Clinton supporter I've seen on the net.

  As far as Obama supporters tired of this whole ordeal and want him crowned the winner, that would make sense if he had a lead early on, the polls suggested he was the winner before Iowa nationally, and had a household name that every democrat in the country could recognize. She was essentially crowned by most people in the media and in the party early on.

  I think anyone supporting Obama from the early races knew he'd have an uphill battle and they would suggest that they do not believe that it is anywhere close to being over.

  On the other hand, Clinton did have a large lead in polls, money, name recognition, history, and support that has been slowly overcome by Obama. From my experience with her supporters on the net, they sound like they are almost annoyed that they have to put up with this sub par candidate Obama. Each discussion thread is replied to with excuses of why Clinton is not winning; it was a caucus, those people are all black, they are all yuppies, etc. Never any mention of how well each of these candidates match up together for the most part, just a bunch of whining about why their candidate is losing contests and not the nominee.

  If you need proof, just watch this thread that will slowly spiral into a back and forth between both campaign supporters, of which one person has already put in the standard answer of "it's a caucus".
