are a bunch of whiny-ass titty babies. They just can't take a punch, which doesn't bode well for the general election if he's the nominee. Believe me, John McCain could care less if you think he's being mean to poor Barack.

so 400,000+ is VERY big news especially given that the party has frozen the delegates.

Big freaking deal! This is called POLITICS! They're not running for dog-catcher of Mayberry, for Christ's sakes. Obama's people better toughen up and get a little shrewder or they're in serious trouble.

What difference does it make if Obama wins SC? He can't carry the state in the general election, and neither could Hillary. Only Edwards would have a chance, but the media has buried him.

Death threats for your movie reviews! You WISH you were so important! If your reviews appeared on newsprint, they'd be lining my canary's cage.

is more important in the general election than South Carolina, you're a moron. No matter how well Obama does tonight, he could never carry the state in the general, nor could any Democrat. If Hillary wins Florida with a Dem turnout bigger than the Repugs, even when the delegates don't count, that is called NEWS.

Have the godhead suddenly lost his luster for you, Mr. Grieve?

There's nothing like an attack on corporate power to galvanize the mainstream media against you. They say he's "angry," uses "class war" rhetoric, because he threatens their power. Hillary and Obama don't.

or any other of the sorry chuckleheads on display tonight in Boca Raton. Only Edwards could make clear the *human* stakes of the contest. Remember that anecdote he told during the debate in Myrtle Beach about the mother in Missouri who had to choose between heating her home or paying her rent, and thus had to send her kids to bed dressed in winter gear under heaps of blankets. Neither Hillary or Obama have that empathic touch, though they try to simulate it. With Edwards it is real. The Repugs, for their part, could care less about such people.

Hillary is damaged goods in many ways and Obama is callow and ultimately vacuous. Edwards is the only one with real character, with experience that matters, and with real concern for *all* Americans. Too bad he doesn't have a chance.

I guess you can't read. I am NOT a Hillary supporter. Say again: I am NOT a Hillary supporter. Get it? Can you hear me? I am also not a Republican--I support Edwards. But I do like your idea that I'm an Obama backer sent here to humiliate Democrats. That's precisely the sort of dirty trick the Obama folks would get up to!

But I am not a Hillary supporter. Nor am I an Obama supporter. There *is* a third credible candidate in this race.

I would never try and persuade you to vote for Hillary in a primary--you should vote for Edwards. But you should vote for the Democratic nominee in the general.

Many of your criticisms of Hillary's "experience" are quite valid. But to say that "we do know she can work with the republicans because she votes with them more often than not" is simply false. Stick with the facts and don't shade them so much. It's what gets the Obamabots into so much trouble with reality.

and can barely walk. Hence, worth ignoring. Maybe kick me into the street, under a bus. That'd make you feel young and strong, eh, Anonymous? By the way, I'm an Edwards supporter. I don't like Hillary--but I will vote for her, or Obama if he gets the nomination.

Good to know, MillionYearPicnic, that you can see some of Obama's many many flaws.

What criticism of your beloved *is* legitimate? Anything? Or is it all rightwing (and Clintonian) slime? Just curious. Or perhaps the sun *does* shine out of Obama's hiney and I've been blinded by the glorious light (and the anti-Obama smears) to believe he is just another slick politician with his own various virtues and flaws?

I could care less what Clinton's campaign is doing. You can't evade my point that easily, friend. You know you are desperately trying to shield Obama from any criticism and so you lump lunacy with debatable issues.

Million Year Picnic wrote that Obama was being "slimed" by means of the following falsehoods, hence the touchy sensitivity of his followers to *any* criticism:

"1) Obama is a closet Muslim.

2) Obama went to a madrassa.

3) Obama is praising republican ideas.

4) Obama has no experience in government.

5) Obama doesn't salute the american flag."

Notice how #s 3 & 4, which are certainly debatable, get folded in amidst rightwing lunacy. Proof positive that *any* criticism of Obama is out of bounds--if you claim he praised Reagan or lacks necessary experience, you might as well say he's a terrorist traitor.

You are, of course, right. Prepare yourself for a tirade from anonymous Obamamaniacs who can't handle the truth.

To criticize Obama means you are a racist or a Republican. To criticize his supporters means you must work for another campaign or be insane. Of course, most of these folks post anonymously because they know they are being ridiculous. But their rhetoric speaks volumes, it really does.

And, KcM, please, you promised to ignore me. I would prefer that very much, thanks. You frighten me.

KcM's rhetoric speaks for itself. Ignore its implications at your peril.

I *wish* I was being paid to debunk this Obama-olatry. Alas, no.

I haven't quite yet come to the point of concluding that Obama's campaign is fully an expression of his person, but I'm close. You need to understand, though, that candidates are *not* their campaigns, though they are ultimately responsible for them, obviously.
