Wow. This place has lost its dad-gummed mind!

What the hell is going on here?

What's with the out-of-control gloating? It's really ugly.

I highly doubt that Barack is gloating right now. He knows that Hillary is a formidable, well-connected opponent (and that people pitying her has already stopped his momentum dead once in these primaries).

Could we please hold up on this until, say, Obama wins Ohio, Texas and Pennsylvania? (if and when that actually happens?)

1. Or until we actually have a candidate? Remember: pride goeth before the fall.

3. It has become very Junior High of late and the gloating is the least of it.
It seems to me that 85% of primary posts are reactionary hormone induced or just plain flame bait conjecture. If you leave the hormones and questionable emotional (not age) maturity, then conjecture = lies.

I think most of DU understands, but it is very frustrating to come to this once treasured board for actual information only to find a barrage of bullshit from both our candidate's "supporters." It's not working for any of us.

I know I can use the ignore feature, but I don't come here to ignore or bury my head in the sand. I would rather spend my time reading a substantive post than managing an ignore list. It's that bad lately.

Gawd, I hope the daily primary post limit kicks in soon.

Until then, remember that the worst that could happen is another failed Republican regime. All because some people got pissed off and didn't vote at all.

My dog was Edwards, so I'm already on my second choice. (Not saying whom here.)

I'm just saying.

5. True that.
And god bless the "hide a thread" option.

I wish that there was a "hide a month" option though. I wouldn't mind fast-forwarding to March...or August for that matter!

4. You're just figuring this out? :)
It's been fucking Romper Room on steroids in GD-P.
