I just peeked in on GD-P and I've come to one conclusion:
We're going to lose in November.

And before you pull out your flamethrower and point it at me, you can check my post record and see that I intend to do nothing less than support, volunteer and work hard for, and vote for our nominee no matter who it ends up being. And I have only posted a single thtread in there since its name was changed to GD-Primaries. That post was to say how ashamed I was of the behavior in there.

Today, I looked and I no longer have any hope of us winning in November.

And, I am still ashamed.

1. I completely disagree with you. Looking at the NBC poll, I think we have a great chance of winning.

3. Don't be silly...
DU is a freakin' message board ~ great things are happening in the real world. We just registered tens of thousands of Dems in PA alone!

4. Disagree. McCain is terrible.
He is not going to inspire anyone to go out and vote for him. And if the GOP didn't have a winner-take-all system, which thank God we do not, he probably wouldn't be the nominee yet.

5. I predicted that a couple of weeks ago...
...and was thoroughly trashed for it.

6. There are fake DU-ers on both sides name calling to get us to fight with each other.

Also, here's who we're running against.



Just pick your chin up a bit, Texas Explorer.

Things will completely change once we decide our nominee.

7. Totally unrelated...
Do you design websites yourself, and do you use Joomla?

I am setting up a new business and am getting frustrated with the design and implementation... Could you PM me if interested at all?

TIA,

8. This assumes that GD-P is representative of the party and the country
I don't get back to the States every week, but when I do, I usually visit NYC, Virginia,
Texas, and a smattering of other places, and from my meager experience, GD-P is a seething
cauldron isolated and an entity unto itself. It's Skinner's decision to let the pot boil
unfettered, but to call it representative of the country is a stretch at best. The number
of real people out there that see their enemies lurking on every corner are far fewer out
there in the real world. I still like our chances, no matter who the nominee is. I see
Diebold (and similar companies) as a greater threat than McCain.

9. When the R's go full throat on Guns, God, Gays and Flags McCain will
be hard to beat. We need a gigantic turnout.

10. United or not, it's a very difficult win in Nov. we either have to overcome racism or sexism. Look
at how many in this country are truly ignorant and that lets you know how hard it will be.

13. No, I think Obama's chances are pretty good, barring any major missteps...
and with a few good strategic decisions along the way. I think Hillary would have a harder time, though.

15. I think 80% of the posters in GDP are trolls, and they're all just screaming at
each other.

I put GDP on "hide" a while back, and DU is a much more pleasant place now.
