would make me flatly embarrassed to be a Democrat. By my unofficial count, the Clinton bashers have taken the early lead, but the Obama slammers are closing fast. Does it occur to anyone that, with a few exceptions (and they're pretty easy to spot) there are no "Hillbots" or "Obamatrons"; just passionate supporters of their candidate. Sadly, it's the jackasses who have taken center stage. Maybe if we just ignored them for a while they'd find another hobby.

1. We have a WINNER!
Ignore them. If a thread title is obviously from one of the "flingers" I don't even bother to open it. But sometimes the titles aren't that clear, and I do. Then I don't post. I hunt for threads by folks like H2O Man and the like, who want to talk about serious issues.

2. The only positive campaign to be found
is the one the press dismissed as angry.

Imagine that...

3. I think there will be a exodus after we have a nominee.
If I remember correctly...the big-time flingers left after we had a nom last time.

5. Obama supporter that I am, I'd welcome an Edwards candidacy
just as easily.

He may not make history, but he'd be just as good a vehicle for some change in Washington as Obama.

It's amazing that the Democratic Party actually has two great, viable candidates--and they're deliberately thinking about choosing someone else.

11. It's not easy being a Democrat, you really have to be principled to put up
with all the warts, haircuts, BJ's, but the bottom line is no matter how divided we are we can't produce the gutter scum the republicans can.

13. He is making history. He is doing this on a shoe string and against all odd with the
corprat owned media dissing him the whole way. And he is still viable!
