This amazes me...
I just scrolled through the first page of GD:P and out of the 50 or so posts, only one mentioned a Republican. We're too busy beating the crap out of our own candidates to even keep track of what the GOP might be up to.

No wonder the GOP is so hopeful about November '08. They have a history of getting behind their nominee and all we can do is blow a golden opportunity by destroying our own nominees.

1. well, my two threads were about how best to elect Dems

I'm sorry, but thanks for keeping things on the positive side.

4. I stand corrected
but the gist is the same. We're destroying our chances and we haven't even made it to Super Tuesday yet.

5. In all fairness ....
As undesirable and as unseemly all this infighting and bickering may seem to be, it is the argument of many here that this is a necessary 'weeding out' of the field, and that it is best to air out all the issues 'here and now', so that the ultimate candidate will be prepared to fight the ridiculous but inevitable 'swiftboating' expected by the GOP in the GE ....

I personally hate the infighting and scathing commentaries: that doesnt appear to phase those who revel in it ..... They could give a fuck ....

6. I'm sitting here looking at the photo montage in your post
What an amazing group of candidates! Every one of them would be better than what the GOP has to offer. I just hope we can come together in the end to take advantage of the opportunity we have to control the Senate, the House and the White House.

Then maybe we can begin to see things change for the better.
