I can't wait to see if Obama wins the nomination....
because I want to see what the comments will be once the rightwing starts to attack and bring out all of the information that is not being reported on now. Tell us how will you handle it as you know the cons are really vicious, the things that Hillary is being attacked on are relatively minor compared to what will be going on in the General election...I will just be glad once the candidate is chosen.

1. Trust me, there is NOTHING that's not being brought out now
If Hillary can find it, she'll use it. If she can't find it, she'll make it up. Obama's going to be nicely vetted to take on Old Man McInsane.

3. There's more on the Clintons
that isn't being thrown because Obama doesn't do it. I don't know what fairy land these people are in that they don't think the Clintons have thrown all there is to throw, and don't have oppo research as good as the Republicans.

5. That's a very good point.
Can anyone really believe the Clinton's have NOT looked under every rock to find SOMETHING to smear Obama with? Lord knows they have tried, and have thrown enough mud as it is. But nothing that sticks.

11. I don't think that they will try to destroy him...
knowing he may be the nominee... Just as I don't think that Obama would do it either as he supporters seem to be trying to do, you are really helping the repubs would are doing a lot of posting on these boards to get it heated...

20. There's more on BOTH of them. There always will be.
The rw just makes it up on an as needed basis.

That'll work.

15. What about your loyalty...
the Obama supporters are giving the rightwing there talking points, at this point I don't care which one wins, I will be glad when its over I can't even stay on this board for too long anymore, because every post seems to want to destroy Hillary forever...

18. "there talking points"....how about MCCain...he has used Hillary's talking points against Obama
Actually, McCain's entire campaign against Obama is based on exactly the same (failed) arguements that Hillary has been using.

I don't think the right wing, however, has learned anything about hillary from DU that they didn't already know. They have been preparing their dirt about her for decades....and if she is the nominee it will be released again.

Funny thing is, the Hillary Herd seem to be convinced that all the dirt the Republicans have on Hillary is her advantage. Go figure!

19. Whoa.......
it sounds like you may be personalizing this campaign a little too much.

As to my loyalty, it is to democracy with a small d. And I think that the Democratic
Party is the best equipped to get us there.

Right now Barack Obama is the best candidate within the Democratic Party to
get back the democracy that has been slipping away.

13. There will be mass shock and confusion when the real ammo starts coming
from the rightwing neocon assholes.

That much is obvious, just by their hysterical reactions they have here whenever their almighty Obama is criticized the least little bit.

23. I like you, but you are a serious partisan who sees only one side.
Hysterical reactions (is that sexist? ;) ) abound on both sides to any perceived slight. But, on the other hand, isn't that what we want? A fighter? Someone who doesn't take that? Both sides have a lot to be proud of, and a lot to be ashamed of, like most elections.

Don't let your anger, which I'm seeing from you today, cloud your decency. Both Obama and Hillary will be fine in the G.E.


Mark my often wrong words. ;)

17. You don't have to worry about me...
but I can't say the same if Hillary is the nominee, some of the Obama supporters may go over to the other side...
