This is the post that should've been titled "What the hell is wrong with you people?"

I agree totally. Here is what I believe should be the response to any Hillary Supporter TPMer who threatens to hold his breath until they feel their ass has been kissed sufficiently:

Dear ________________,

Vote for the candidate of your choice in November. Since I never expect people to vote for Party, but rather candidate, you will hear the same arguments as the registered GOPers and Indies. I encourage you to do what you feel needs to be done to get the best POTUS in the White House.

I wouldn't begin to insult your intelligence by pandering to you. If you feel that Obama is now the Dem nominee, I have an assignment for you:

Please go to these websites and look at the policies:

http://www.johnmccain.com/

I'm not saying to vote based on policy alone, but it's important for you to become educated about, at very least, the two major party candidates.

I look forward in having discussions with you in the future.

Electablity Isn't Enough

Wasn't the Clinton campaign emphasizing that superdelegates could base their decision on whatever they want? Now that they are making an independent decision, based on their view that Obama is the presumptive nominee, Clinton supporters are upset about it. Along the same lines, after PA we heard how "more people had voted for her" (a clever way of obscuring the fact that some of those who voted for her didn't have the option of voting for Obama). Now that her gains from PA have been wiped out and the popular vote count is unlikely to favor Clinton even if you include Michigan, we aren't hearing much about that anymore either. It seems like they'll run out of arguments eventually, but not before they get to the bottom of the barrel.

Donna Brazile answer to the intimidation campaign

"Honestly, this is the 9th email today," she wrote before 8:00 pm. "So I believe you're ready to not only destroy Roe versus Wade, voting rights, civil liberties and civil rights. Perhaps adding trillions more to the deficits through non-stop tax cuts to the wealthy and 100 more years in Iraq. Yes, please join Rush and McCain asap. The train has left. Catch it."

Priceless

It's been a very sad campaign from the beginning.
I have never been prejudice in my life and I am 70 years old. I always thought it was nice to help all races and colors and treat each with the same dignity. I have seen first Valerie Plame being tragically mistreated, after she had been outed by the Bush Administration. Geraldine Ferrero was basically forced to give up Clinton fundraising because she repeated a statement made by Barack Obama himself. She said that being black helped him be where he was today. He said that if he were not black he would be one of 14 Senators going nowhere, without the opportunity to run for president and certainly not have the opportunity as far as the book deals go. This is not verbatim for either because I can no remember exactly but the idea is completely as spoken.

Hillary Clinton, has been held to such a high standard that it would be impossible for anyone to achieve balance. She has always worked for the poor and for women and somehow, those very people she has worked for the hardest are ready to abandon her and even degrade her, because they think something better has come along! She does get up every day and goes out and tries to win the nomination, despite taking criticism from most involved in the news, talk shows and guests, because she has a mission to help people. She has proven herself in the Senate. Just listen to those who had their doubts. She is highly respected in the Senate by all who thought she would be very partisian and found her to work well with all but to fight for what she believes in. When she tries to make a point of a difference between Barack Obama and herself she is accused of being racist or nasty. Obama's
Chief Strategist, David Axelrod, has a daughter who is developmentally disabled and his wife, co- founded a a foundation for Epilepsy, and Hillary Clinton had done significant work on behalf of epilepsy. His wife even said that a 1999 conference that Clinton's convening on finding a cure for the condition was "one of the most important things anyone has done for epilepsy."
This is the kind of people the Clinton's are. There are so many positive stories out there about them, but people like to focus on the negative, mostly lies, to take her down.

I am more sad because of how Obama runs over women and no one hears or listens. If you knew how he got started in the Illinois State Senate, you would probably not feel so good about him, no matter if you are black or white. I am sorry to say he uses what ever will work people.
Hillary has proven she will work for us but they are trying to run her off. She wants to save the election and Obama will not be able to stand up to the Republicans. They will bring all of his shady deals from Chicago and his lack of experience will assure 4 more years of Bush actions.

why are people making a comparison between Clinton and Obama supporters? ONLY the Clinton
supporters were disenfranchised! There were no states that Obama won where the votes were not counted. Do you blame florida and Michigan voters? Don't you think it is frightening to have a circumstance where people are told we don't need your votes now, but be sure and come in and vote in November because we really need you at that time?

COUNT OUR VOTES. TAMPERING WITH THE OUTCOME OF AN ELECTION IS CALLED FIXING A RACE.

3 words: Know Your Audience.

Pissing off the supers with blackmailing emails is not exactly the way to Win Friends and Influence People. Pondering how in hell they thought this would work just boggles the mind.

Reason # 45,375 why the supers are coming out of the woodwork for Obama.

Yes, bad behavior, all those emails. Yes, sour grapes, because Obama will be the nominee of the divided (again)Democratic party. Now, does anyone else remember that there is an ELECTION coming, after the nomination is sealed? Does anone else realize that the Clinton backers are NOT BLUFFING when they openly say they will vote for John McCain? Is anyone else aware that a lot of so-called Independents are driving around with McCain stickers on their cars? Does anyone else realize, yet, what this all adds up to? How is Mr. Obama going to get enough total votes, nationally, to win the presidential election, when he has to strain every fibre of his being just to finally get nominated?

drosz: Per your observation regarding "...{your} public school education!!": Don't worry about past failures. President McCain will loan you the funds to attend private school, even though it appears possible you may not vote for him.
