I may be ready to get behind his candidacy. But I really don't want to be a part of the Obamanoid behavior that this board reeks of. Please stop denigrating Bill and Hillary Clinton. They are OURS. They have fought for the things we believe in as best they could. Hillary should stay in the race as long as she feels like fighting.

If Obama has the right stuff, he will prevail.

Please, stop the bullying and denigration of those who see things differently. I want to be part of something strong and good and progressive. Obama proved his courage and passion to me today. I hope it will be reflected by his supporters.

1. Your comments do not apply to all of us...

Some of us actually try to be civil and positive, and it usually falls on deaf ears. That being said, if you do choose to support Senator Obama, welcome. :)

9. I hereby will not use the "H***bot" term in respect, ...
at least until the next totally egregious mendacious slimy attack by her machine.

2. That train runs both ways
I think that both sides are doing it.....Me too on occasion.

That's what has become so sad about this primary.

7. What I'm trying to say is the greatness that I witnessed is so contradicted by
what I see on these boards among many - not all - of Obama's supporters - which has really been a total turn-off to me.

5. I was an Edwards guy first too.
I spent quite a while in shock. I still think the best candidate is on the sidelines.

After a LOT of cajoling, I went to Obama. The bar gets lowered by both sides. We're overzealous because we want great things to happen.

I think we'll heal up and win the general, no matter which candidate comes out on top.
