other candidates? I just don't understand the purpose it serves at this point.If Obama is someone's candidate of choice, why can't they celebrate his success instead of stepping on the necks of the others? I understand "defending" Obama when he is attacked, but the amount of threads started attacking Edwards and Clinton are noticable and disturbing.

I have never been a Hillary fan, yet the overblown attacks on her, based on events of little substance are hideous.My candidate is Edwards and I have seen more vitriol directed at him during the NH week than at any other time? I simply do not understand this.

Many Democrats are appearing as nasty and small minded as FOX NEWS. It is not a pleasant thing to see, and I say this as one who has been guilty of partisan attacks in the past.I do not claim to be "above the fray" , though I have tried.I just am flabbergasted at the volume of the sensless attacks.
