Hey, team Obama.

[Occam Bandage]

Knock it off with the vulture crap. It was low-class when people did it to the Kucitizens, and it's low-class now. Let the Edwards people decide who to vote for on their own. And stop talking about what Edwards wants/wanted/etc. He's not fucking dead; he can endorse who he pleases, and for whatever reasons he pleases. He can not endorse if he wants.

Just show some respect.

1. True dat

[zanne]

2. I'm all for that. I've always liked Edwards...

Just not for president. He should be able to choose who he wants.

[mrgorth]

3. I haven't seen that yet

I tried to hit all the Edwards threads. Saw no begging or anything.

[arewenotdemo]

[Marrah_G]

[NightWatcher]

11. exactly, give them a while to get their stuff together. we've enough work to do

chillax

[mirrera]

Well ex-Edwards supporter here...

Sigh. I hope you Obama supporters are nice because I really like him. It is hard when you are low on cash but you scrape it up to support candidates who don't even stay in. First Kucinich, then Edwards/Kerry, now Kucinich and Edwards again. I gave because I knew they needed it, but boy when I add it up and look at what they have and what I have, I sure could use it back. I feel a little disillusioned right now, not about Obama. Im am just finishing Audacity of Hope, and I sure hope Obama's supporters are interested in policy the way Edwards supporters are. I just started reading Edward's 40 page pdf on his proposals. Does Obama have something I can read? I feel like I have to start my research ALL over again. Any advice on good info on Obama would be appreciated. I want to be able to fight for him at my caucus the way I would have for Edwards. Guess I can throw that folder out.

I won't be so glum next time, but it feels very strange to click on a thread titled Team Obama, so be nice!

18. Thank you so much! Of course his web site... duh!

I will get reading.
Thank you

[Bread and Circus]

12. /agree 100%

[Adelante]

13. I loathe vulture threads

People need time to grieve and they're never given it on DU. It makes me ill.

[MH1]

14. Agreee wholeheartedly.

haven't seen the vulture posts yet myself, but I do expect them - every candidate has at least a few insensitive supporters.

[elixir]

17. Well done. Thank you.

[Skidmore]

19. Who's doing that?

[Raine]

20. I don't mind being asked now but

what I did mind was being told before today by supporters of the other candidates that Edwards needed to drop out. :mad:

I will be voting for Obama next Tuesday. I'm not sure at this point how active I will be other than giving him my vote though.

Edit: spelling

[ZinZen]

21. I absolutely agree

and emphathize because I was such a huge Dean supporter (more than Obama) in 04. Please leave Edwards people alone. This is quite a loss for them as many have stood passionately behind him. It's not an easy thing to quickly adjust to another candidate.
