Reply #55: There really isn't any hand-wringing that I've observed.

Obama addressed her comments with a chuckle. He seemed to brush off the attacks quite well on his own.

But I personally am hurt by some of the things that Hillary Clinton has said. It's not as much that she's attacking Obama (he's a big boy and can take it) but that she is hurting a lot of Democrats who want this to be about change. The change we want is a 180 from Bush.

I've read all the words from both campaigns and I am able to sort out who is being the most Rovian of the two campaigns. I think Obama is going to win and feel no compunction to bring down Hillary Clinton. But I really dislike the things she's been saying lately.

It's Hillary's own words that bother me as a Democrat. They hurt. I've never voted for anyone who wasn't a Democrat. I won't vote for a dog catcher if she or he isn't a Democrat. That's a fact. That's not going to change. But Hillary has hurt the respect I had for her. When this thing started, I really believed we had nothing but a win-win situation no matter who the nominee. I LOVED and was PROUD of each and every single Democrat out there running for President of the United States. Hillary has soured that. Not her supporters. Not the negativity I have heard here from either camp.

I am disappointed in Hillary Clinton because of her own words. And I take no pleasure in saying that. Quite the opposite.
